Akane est une jeune fille qui manque de confiance en elle. La veille de son anniversaire, sa mère l'envoie chez une amie, Chii, où elle doit récupérer elle-même son cadeau d'anniversaire. Chii tient une boutique d'antiquités. Akane ne l'aime pas beaucoup car Chii est aussi extravertie qu'Akane est timide. Une fois à la boutique, Akane et Chii font la rencontre du mystérieux alchimiste Hippocrate et de son minuscule apprenti Pipo, qui lui déclarent être en mission pour sauver le monde. À partir de la cave de la maison, ils ouvrent un passage vers un pays merveilleux, Wonderland. Ils reconnaissent en Akane la Déesse du Vent Vert, seule capable de sauver leur monde de la sécheresse en guérissant le prince héritier de la dynastie des rois de la pluie et en l'aidant à accomplir la Cérémonie des Gouttes qui, une fois tous les 600 ans, renouvelle l'eau du royaume. Hippocrate remet à Akane une « Ancre d'en avant », un talisman qui fait pencher son corps en avant chaque fois qu'elle devient négative et l'oblige à aller de l'avant. Akane n'a aucune envie d'explorer cet autre monde, tandis que Chii est tout excitée. Mais les jeunes filles se rendent compte que l'Ancre d'en avant ne laisse pas le choix à Akane : elle se trouve entraînée malgré elle dans un passage souterrain, suivie par Chii.

Mewtwo, his heart having been softened by the selfless example of the human named Ash Ketchum back in his birthland in the eastern Kanto region, has now traveled to the western region of Johto in search of a location that is unreachable by the prying eyes and harsh judgments of humans for the sake of his band of cloned Pokémon, with whose welfare Mewtwo is solely concerned. He eventually finds the perfect hideaway: a huge mountain named Mt. Quena, surrounded by steep cliffs that are practically impossible to scale, but in its top is a forest and a freshwater lake that makes for a near-utopia for all the Bug Pokémon living there. This is a perfect fit for Mewtwo's band, so thus they settle in the top of Mt. Quena and begin a new, safe life, with Mewtwo watching over as their guardian, as he feels they cannot belong in the world as they were not born in it (Interestingly enough, he seems particularly close to the Pikachu and Meowth clones, possibly reflecting how important their templates were in his change of heart).

Although the film's story is rooted in the familiar fairy tale of the same name, this version does add a few new characters and plot twists. The tale starts out in the manner that most of us are accustomed to—Jack resides with his mother in a small house out in the country. Being very poor, they eventually find themselves forced to sell their cow, which has stopped giving milk. Jack runs into a mysterious man on the way into town and trades the cow for a handful of "magic" beans. Jack's mother is not very thrilled with him and ends up throwing the beans out the window.
