Quick recap

In LaRousse, a high-tech city, a boy named Tory has feared Pokémon ever since an incident involving Deoxys years earlier. Ash, May, Max and Brock arrive for the Battle Tower, and a Deoxys shows up looking for its companion, which is trapped in a crystal. Rayquaza sees Deoxys as an invader, and the two fight a brutal battle. The city is sealed off by a force field, and the security robots start capturing everyone. Ash and Tory restore the power to wake the second Deoxys. The two reunite, Rayquaza calms down and leaves, and Tory gets over his fear alongside Plusle and Minun.
