a dad reads a book about legendry pokemon to his daughter molly who is very excited about entei when the dad is called to investigate some ruins of unown when he is trapped. molly whose mum is also missing makes a weird wish to the unown that leads to an entei appearing to protect her as a dad figure. ash and friends are nearby when ash is challenged to a 6 on 6 battle by a girl. which todotile beats granbul. chikorita loses to girfarig, noctowl beats aipom, bulbasaur loses to butterfree, cynadquil beats mankey and pikachu and quagsire draw. after the battle the conversation reveals they are now greenfields which is normally a beautfiul place but due to molly has been turned into a cyrstalised landscape. professor oak and ash’s mum decide to head there as well due to knowing mollys family (the hale family). entei kidnaps ash’s mum so molly can have a mum using hypnosis ash goes after it despite professor oaks complaints with misty and brock. while molly enjoys the situation. team rocket are in the area but don’t have much to do with the movie. molly when she sees ash using pokemon decides to battle him even though she’s too young so the unown give her some made up pokemon to battle brock takes her on and loses than misty does lose as well (a rare battle for zubat and vulpix). while ash closes in on molly. ash tries to get his mum and molly to safety but molly refuses and ash has to battle entei which is impossible even charizard that comes to ash’s rescue can’t beat it but molly stops the battle at this point the unown lose control leading to a serious situaiton and molly must get entei to belive in him which works and it all ends well. overall an all time classic and still my favourite many years later.
