While there, they encounter Sam, a young boy who was transported to the future from forty years in the past by a Pokémon named Celebi. Celebi, also called the Voice of the Forest, was wounded by a nasty Pokémon trapper and fled to the future to avoid being captured. Unfortunately, the Pokémon trapper of the future--the Iron-Masked Marauder--is bigger, badder, and meaner. He is pursuing the rare Celebi and not only has the ability to make any Pokémon he catches the epitome of evil, but also has every intention of using his evil device to take over the world. Sam and Ash, accompanied by Celebi and Ash's faithful Pokémon, Pikachu, find themselves in a fight for their lives as well as the livelihood of the forest. Along the way, they encounter the legendary Suicine, reminiscent of a unicorn or Pegasus. Ultimately, the story is a testament to friendship and loyalty, with a surprise plot twist at the end that should be appreciated by fans. [More]

  • Pokemon 4Ever
  • All of your favorite Pokemon characters are back and are joined for the first time by the legendary Pokemon Celebi and Suicune in this latest exciting Pokemon adventure! In order to escape a greedy Pokemon hunter, Celebi must use the last of its energy to travel through time to the present day. Celebi brings along Sammy, a boy who had been trying to protect it. Along with Ash, Pikachu, and the rest of the gang, Sammy and Celebi encounter an enemy far more advanced than the hunter left behind in the past. This new enemy possesses a Pokeball called a "Dark Ball," which transforms the Pokemon it captures into evil and far stronger creatures. When Celebi is captured, the fate of the entire forest is threatened. Let POKEMON 4EVER transport you to a world of adventure as Ash, Suicune, and the rest take action to save the day!

    The fourth "Pokemon" is a diverting--if predictable--adventure suitable for a matinee, with a message that cautions children about disturbing the world's delicate ecological balance.

    Its save-the-planet message clashes with its crass marketing.

    The fourth in a series that I'll bet most parents had thought --hoped! -- was a fad that had long since vanished.

    An improvement on the feeble examples of big-screen Poke-mania that have preceded it.
