During their training routine, Ash and his companions stumble upon the ruins of the ancient city of Pokémopolis. This discovery inadvertently releases a massive Gengar, which had been confined within a dark device, and a colossal Alakazam, sealed inside a peculiar urn. Upon their release, the two powerful Pokémon immediately engage in a fierce battle against each other. The conflict is abruptly halted when a giant Jigglypuff arrives on the scene and uses its abilities to put both combatants to sleep, ending the confrontation.
