In the town of Lohta, a festival is thrown praising "Aaron the Wave Leader Hero" who, according to the legend passed down through the town's generations, stopped a war centuries ago by using the power of "the Tree of the World's Origin." Satoshi and Pikachu participate in a battle to decide this year's hero and after their victory, they are chosen as the "Wave Leader Hero." A grand dance party is held in the castle to celebrate the victor, but suddenly the phantom Pokemon Mew appears and takes Pikachu. Soon afterwards, the Wave Leader Pokemon "Lucario" is freed from his centuries-long seal and meets Satoshi. Satoshi must solve the various mysteries of where Pikachu is, what Mew's after, what the secret of the legend of the Wave Leader is and how it ties in with Lucario's hidden past as he makes his way to "the Tree of the World's Origin" with Lucario.

Where it came from
Released in 2005, Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew is the eighth feature film in the Pokémon franchise, produced by OLM, Inc. The film was developed to coincide with the release of the Generation III games, specifically aiming to spotlight Lucario, a creature that would become a staple of the series' merchandising and competitive play. It served as a thematic departure from earlier films by focusing heavily on historical lore and the specific bond between a trainer and their Pokémon, set against the backdrop of the Kingdom of Rota.
The film's direction was handled by Kunihiko Yuyama, who has overseen nearly every entry in the Pokémon film series. The creative team aimed to blend traditional cel-style animation with burgeoning digital techniques to capture the aesthetic of the series' mid-2000s transition period. Upon release, the film was well-received by the franchise's fanbase for its emotional resonance and for introducing a more complex, dialogue-driven narrative for Lucario, helping to cement the character's status as a fan favorite long before its inclusion in the Super Smash Bros. series.
