Pokemon movie 14!

In the Pokemon Black And White movie we follow Ash, and his new friends Isis and Cilan, as they head towards Eindoak Town in the Unova region to take part in the town's battle tournament. When they arrive at Eindoak Town Ash and friends are told about the legendary Pokemon Victini.

Throughout the competition, the invisible Victini helps Ash (without his knowledge) by making his Pokemon stronger. Then, with the help of Cilan's macaroons, Victini makes itself known to Ash and they become friends.

Then Ash and friends meet up with a man named Damon who claims to be one of the descendants of the Kingdom Of The Vale. He explains the legend of the Dragon Force and how it was disrupted after a war broke out between two princes that destroyed the Kingdom.

The King used the power of Victini to save the Vale by moving the castle (known as the Sword Of The Vale) to another location. Damon wants to use Victini's power to recreate the Kingdom Of The Vale with help from one of the legendary dragon Pokemon he has befriended (movie specific).

Damon manages to kidnap Victini and forces it to use its power to move the Sword Of The Vale back to its previous location. But things start to go wrong as the Dragon Force is disturbed.

When I first heard the new Pokemon movie was going to be released as two different versions I was sceptical. Fortunately, like the games, the differences between each are only minor and the outcome is very much the same, but there is just a slight difference in the story.

Some scenes are different: for example in the Black movie, Ash sees a Mandibuzz at the start of the adventure but in the White movie he sees a Braviary. Both films are available together in a boxset which includes a Pikachu card from the Next Destinies set of the Pokemon Trading Card Game.

I really enjoyed this movie and I'm glad they are both combined in a boxset so I didn't have to fork out for the same film twice. Despite my scepticism I liked the differences between the two movies. If I had to choose between the two I preferred the White movie as it had a shiny Hydreigon in one of the scenes.

Throughout the story I really felt the bond grow between Ash and Victini. Victini is one of my favourites from the new generation of Pokemon so this film gets a big thumbs up (and victory sign) from me.
