Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened recap
Five Genesect, revived from fossils after 300 million years, arrive in New Tork City. Ash, Iris and Cilan befriend a lost one at Pokémon Hills, a nature park, but the group's leader, a red Genesect, attacks them. A Mewtwo, a different one from the first film, steps in. The Genesect drive the park's Pokémon out and build a giant nest around the city's power station, near Panna lotuses that remind them of their lost home. Mewtwo, who knows what it means to be made by humans, tries to persuade the red Genesect to stop, and the two fight across the city. The park's Pokémon battle the other Genesect, the friendly Genesect takes a hit meant for Ash, and the fighting sets the nest on fire. Ash's Oshawott and the wild Pokémon rush to put it out.
Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened ending explained
The friendly Genesect protect Ash, and the other Genesect start to see the park's Pokémon are not their enemies. Mewtwo carries the red Genesect into space, where the sight of the planet changes its mind, and the Pokémon catch both of them as they fall. The city's power is restored, and Ash leads the Genesect to a national park where Panna lotuses still grow, so they can build a new home.
