Now without further delay, here is the official press release for this exciting event:
The 16th Pokemon movie, Pokemon The Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened is coming to DVD and available in-store from 4th December – RRP $19.95. Fast-tracked from the states for an early release in Australia, the movie features Red Genesect, Shiny Genesect, Mewtwo, Ash, and Pikachu in an action-packed 70-minute feature.
Synopsis
When big trouble threatens the big city, it’s up to Ash, Pikachu, and their friends to stop it!
A peaceful park amid the hustle and bustle seems like the perfect new home for a group of Mythical Pokémon: four Genesect and their red leader. These new neighbors quickly become a problem for the city’s residents, though—they don’t trust people, and they’ve found a dangerous ally in the Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo, whose origins also involve human tampering. But the red Genesect doesn’t want Mewtwo’s help, and their confrontation quickly rages out of control! Can Ash and friends stop these two powerful Pokémon before they destroy the city?
