Plot summary

Long ago Arceus, a Pokémon believed to have created worlds, saved this one from a meteor storm and lost its sixteen Life Plates. Damos, of Michina, returned them, and Arceus fused five into the Jewel of Life, which made the land fertile. Asked to give the jewel back, Damos attacked it instead, so the wounded Pokémon wrecked its temple and slept, meaning to judge humanity when it woke. As Arceus stirs, distortions pull Dialga and Palkia into conflict. Sheena, a descendant of Damos, calls on Dialga, who carries Ash, Dawn and Brock with her into the past.
