- Damos: To all of my beautiful future children who taught me how to believe. I offer all of you now my sincerest hopes, and wishes that the future world will become more and more beautiful. And that is exactly the kind of world you find yourselves in.
- Arceus: [after being healed by the Jewel of Life] Who are you?
- Ash Ketchum: I'm Ash. And this is my partner, Pikachu.
- Pikachu: Pikachu!
- Arceus: [after saving Ash and Pikachu from the rising water] Ash and Pikachu. Are you the ones who saved my life?
- Ash Ketchum: It wasn't just us.
- [Arceus sets them down on the balcony with the others]
- Brock: Ash!
- Dawn: You're alive!
- Ash Ketchum: [to Arceus] Everybody here did it!
- Pikachu: Pika, pika!
- [Arceus looks at Ash and his friends with respect. Damos steps forward]
- Damos: Arceus, please forgive me.
- Arceus: I already saw it in your heart. It's alright.
- Ash Ketchum: [after returning to the present] Arceus!
- Brock: It's still angry!
- Dawn: But how?
- [Arceus begins to unleash his final attack]
- Ash Ketchum: NO, ARCEUS, NO!
- [Arceus hears Ash and looks down]
- Arceus: Who... are you?
- [Arceus halts his attack. His mind flashes back to when Ash and co. saved his life]
- Ash Ketchum: [in the flashback] I'm Ash. And this is my partner, Pikachu.
- Pikachu: [in the flashback] Pikachu!
- [flashback ends]
- Arceus: Ash...
- [Arceus stops his attack completely. He also restores the temple and revives its guardians]
- Sheena: [after Arceus explains that the land was restored by people and Pokemon alike] I understand.
- Ash Ketchum: Sheena, we did it!
- Sheena: Right.
- Arceus: Ash.
- [Ash and his friends run over]
- Arceus: This world of yours is truly a magnificent place.
- Ash Ketchum: It is.
- Pikachu: Pika!
- [Ash, Dawn, and Brock are swimming in the river with their Pokemon. Ash then splashes Dawn and laughs]
- Dawn: Oh, you think you're funny?
- [splashes him back]
- Brock: [seeing the vortex in the sky] Let's move!
- [the group starts to run, but the wind starts to blow them into the air. Brock grabs Ash and Dawn, but Pikachu and Piplup are sucked upward]
- Ash Ketchum: Oh no, Pikachu!
- Dawn: Piplup!
- [Pikachu grabs hold of Piplup, who uses Bubble Beam to stop them from moving further upward. As Ash and co. look on in horror, Sheena walks up]
- Sheena: Now Dialga, come forth. Dialga, please save these Pokemon for me.
- [Ash and co. stare in confusion. Suddenly, a portal opens and Dialga comes out. Dialga flies upward and catches Pikachu and Piplup before they're sucked into the vortex]
- Brock: The Legendary Pokemon that rules time.
- Ash Ketchum: Dialga.
- Dawn: But how?
- Brock: And how did she talk to it?
- [Dialga flies downward and Pikachu and Piplup jump off. They land in Ash and Dawn's arms respectively. Ash and Dawn happily cuddle with them]
- Ash Ketchum: [running toward Giratina] Giratina! Can't you feel I'm right here with you?
- Pikachu: Pika, pika!
- [a wave of water knocks them backwards]
- Ash Ketchum: Giratina!
- Pikachu: Pikachu!
- [Giratina hears Ash and looks down at him and Pikachu. It remembers when they saved it from being killed. Giratina calms down and allows Dialga to fly away]
- Ash Ketchum: So you remembered us. Wow.
- Pikachu: Pikachu!
- Sheena: Hi, my name is Sheena and I'm a guardian of these ruins.
- Kevin: Same here too. My name's Kevin.
- Sheena: So were any of you injured?
- Dawn: No, we're fine. My name is Dawn.
- Ash Ketchum: My name's Ash and this is my partner Pikachu. Thanks for saving my buddy.
- [Sheena jumps down to where Ash is and examines Pikachu. Pikachu seems to enjoy it as she feels his face]
- Sheena: Long ago, there was a Thunder Creature and its master and they changed the fate of this town.
- Kevin: Yes, you see it's part of the legend of this town.
- Dawn: Wait a minute. A Thunder Creature and its master?
- Ash Ketchum: You mean me and Pikachu?
- Pikachu: Pika.
- Sheena: I have a feeling our meeting may have been fated. So would you mind coming with us?
- Ash Ketchum: I'll do whatever you want. I mean after all, you saved Pikachu's life.
- Pikachu: Pika, pika!
- Brock: [seeing Giratina attack Dialga] Giratina's after Dialga still.
- Dawn: Please, stop it, Giratina!
- Ash Ketchum: Yeah, come on! Dialga saved Piplup and Pikachu for us!
- Pikachu: Pika!
- Dawn: [after Palkia saves Dialga from the vortex] Hey, look at that.
- Ash Ketchum: Palkia saved Dialga. Cool.
- Pikachu: Pika!
- Arceus: [after Arceus is saved] I have used up all of my strength. So for now I must rest. Farewell, Damos, Ash, and Pikachu.
- [looks at the rest of the Pokemon]
- Arceus: And you. All of my beloved.
- [Arceus flies into the sky. Everyone watches happily as Arceus disappears in a flash of color. Sheena and the others start to glow]
- Sheena: Dialga's calling.
- Damos: Dialga?
- Sheena: Time to return to the future.
- Damos: But I wanted to speak more.
- Ash Ketchum: Me too.
- Dawn: Yeah, me too.
- Brock: Same here.
- Damos: But it's not to be, future children.
- [Sheena, Ash, Dawn, and Brock vanish back into the future]
- Brock: [after history catches up to the present] Wait a minute! We returned the Jewel of Life in the past, which means this place should be totally desolate.
- Sheena: Arceus?
- Arceus: This isn't my doing. Your ancestors dedicated their entire lives to cultivating and restoring this land. This place was brought back to life by the efforts of people and Pokemon alike.
- [Ash, Dawn and Brock are in a jail cell]
- Dawn: I wonder who Marcus is.
- Damos: A backstabber.
- Ash Ketchum, Brock, Dawn: Huh?
- [they turn around to see Damos sitting behind them]
- Damos: It's true. You see, Marcus was an underling of mine, but he betrayed me and threw me in jail.
- [recognising Damos, they gasp and frown]
- Brock: You must be...
- Ash Ketchum: Damos!
- Damos: Wait, you're saying you know me? But you're not from here.
- Ash Ketchum: I wanna know why you won't give the Jewel of Life back to Arceus!
- Damos: What did you say?
- Dawn: Why are you setting a trap for Arceus too?
- Damos: [stands up, offended] I'm doing nothing of the sort! I have every intention of returning the Jewel of Life to Arceus!
- Ash Ketchum: You're a liar!
- Damos: It's the truth! That's why Marcus put me in jail! To keep me from doing that very thing!
