Anime Profile: Pokémon 3: The Movie - Spell of the Unown

The third Pokemon movie involves a lonely little girl named Molly, whose father (Pokemon Professor Spencer Hale) mysteriously vanished while investigating a strange species of Pokemon called the Unown. The Unown are psychic Pokemon who have the ability to turn human thoughts and dreams into realistic manifestations.

Accidentally releasing the Unown, they respond to Molly's wishes by creating a massive crystal fortress and a legendary Pokemon known as Entei, whom she believes to be her father. Entei also kidnaps Ash's mother Delia in order to fill the gap of Molly's dead mother.

The effects of the Unown are transforming the town of Greenfield into a bizarre crystal wasteland. Now its up to Ash and his friends to infiltrate the Crystal fortress, rescue his mother and ultimately bring an end to this crisis.

This third Pokemon movie starts out with Professor Hale pretending to be Entei. Professor Hale's research involves Unown, and one day he disappears. Molly plays with some small squares that are letters, and the mansion starts to crystallize, and when Entei appears, Molly calls it papa.

Later in the movie, Entei kidnaps Ash's mom. Ash tries to get his mom back, and is joined by an old friend, Charizard from the Charicific Valley.

The movie also has a mini-movie called Pikachu and Pichu. It's when Pikachu spends a day with the Pichu brothers while the Pokemon of Ash, Misty, and Brock stay at a park on top of a building.
