I'm not sure what the 2nd Pokémon movie is gonna be called, by I sure know what it's about. Here is a review of someone who has seen the movie in Japan and in english, this is what he/she wrote about it:

Pikachu's Expedition Team (Pikachu Tankentai)
Ash and his friends and Pokémon, on the way of their journey, come to a glassland, where the fresh air is felt. Then they fall asleep, feeling good. But after a while, Togepy wakes, noting Revaties, ladybug-like Pokémon, fly in the sky. He enjoys seeing them passing by, and staggers backward and rolls down the steep of the hill they were on.

Other Pokémon hear his cry and jump up, to see him roll away. Astonished, they run after the baby, calling him, yet hard to keep up with him. He rolls and rolls, and finally, falls into a hole of a tree stump. Pokémon reach there, look into the hole and call Togepy, but there is no reply. They worry about him, and are puzzled to figure out what to do to save him. At that time, Psyduck, who has arrived a minute behind, cannot stop after running down the steep and clash against other Pokémon. All of them are sent to the hole, falling to kick and struggle. But Revaties hold them, and with them on their backs, they fly to a big tree and send them to a branch of it. It is Pokémon valley, and they see a Pokémon Elekid there, who speaks to them in the not so familiar manner. Pikachu gives him a brief explanation that they are looking for their friend, trying to solve his heart. He understands Pikachu, and, to Pikachu's delight, decides to help him and his friends.

They can find Togepy in a nest of Exeggcutes soon. Togepy is delighted, as Pikachu and his friends are, and hops out of the nest to go back with them. However, Exeggcutes also follow out, making them note that one of them lacks, and they need Togepy for it. Pikachu and his party decide to look for their friend, and led by Elekid, they starts.

In the valley different Pokémon live, and they welcome Pikachu's party. Kireihana entertain them by dancing. They are carried away for a while, but reminded of their purpose there and leave. Then they see Clefairy dance around a big tree, swinging their fingers. A bright light flushes, and a gust of storm blows them away.

They can finally go back to the tree where Togepy is, not finding Exeggcute out. They are annoyed, wondering what to do.

The sky turns dark suddenly, and it starts rain, accompanied by a big storm, which is about to blow the nests of Exeggcutes. Pikachu and other Pokémon hold them. The wind roars, and rain spatters over them, but they are not scared, yet tighten their grips, hoping to save their friends. Snorlax stands behind them, blocking the storm. They feel relieved, but the wind carries the nest Togepy in. Pikachu holds fast to it, and Bulbasaur holds Pikachu. Other Pokémon follow, and Snorlax is the last. They stand against storm, as apples are carried and pass near them, distracting Snorlax. He lets his hand off and streches it out for fruit!

Pokémon and the nest are about to flown away. Quickly chagrined, Snorlax hold his friends again, reeling them in. Once the nest is in the safe conditions, Pikachu and Elekid head for a branch, staring up to the dim sky. They they emit electric shocks, striking thunders back. They shocks over and over, until they can finally block them...

The strom is over, and dark clouds have been blown away. They feel relieved, as Lucky come, with an Exeggcute in her pocket. He joins his friends again, evolving into Exeggutor, and all the Pokémon are delighted.


Revelation-Lugia (Lugia Bakutan)
God of Flames, God of Thunder, and God of Freeze should not be disturbed
--Or Heaven and Earth would be enraged, and the world would be destroyed

However, God of Sea will appear then, quelling their angers--with an excellent trainer

A lithography tells a legend 'God of Flames, God of Thunder, and God of Freeze should not be interferred, or Heaven and Earth would be enraged, and the world would be destroyed. However, God of Sea will appear then, quelling their angers with an excellent trainer.' A collector named Giraldan believes the legend, and identifies that God of Flames is Moltres, the one of Thunder is Zapdos, and the one of Freeze is Articuno, each living in Earthia islands. He moves in a big ship Air Castle in the sky, and captures Moltres first. Aiming at the other two gods, he let the ship turn to look for them, noting the balance of the world begins to collapse--

Ash and his party travels Orange islands in a yacht, not knowing that Team Rocket follow them in a Magikarp-formed ship. Suddenly, the tide turns violent, jostling their yacht--and villains' ship. Their yacht is nearly engulfed by the whirlpools, but manages to reach a beach of Earthia's main island in which people hold an annual festival, led by a shrine maiden Flura, according to the legend mentioned above. Since they find that Ash is a Pokémon trainer, they ask him to play the role of the trainer of the legend and to go to the islands of Flames, Thunder, and Freeze for treasure, Poke-ball-sized transparent balls, which is said to quell rage of three gods. Ash and Pikachu are excited, and accept their proposal, starting in a yacht.

On the other side, Team Rocket also arrived at the island, finding Ash's party. They begin to follow him again... However, their obstruction is not so big trouble. He and Pikachu can see the sky turning dim, with dark clouds covering over it. Afraid of the whether, and getting over villains' attacks, they helps each other to gain two balls of Flames and Thunder.

In the main island, people worry about Ash, and Flura, Misty, and Kenji decide to start to help him. They can finally see each other, when Zapdos and Freeze duel in the sky for occupy the territory of Moltres which has disappeared. Giraldan's Air Castle appears then, and capture Zapdos, and by accident, Ash's party and Team Rocket and Flura. Kids and villains send their Pokémon, to destroy the mysterious cages which hold Moltres and Zapdos. As they can succeed, they escape the ship, following two rare Pokémon which left first.

Now the tree rare Pokémon fight near the island of Freeze. To quell their rage, they need three treasure ball, though Ash has only two of them. He needs to go and get the last one. He is scared, but Pikachu encourages him, telling him that he can help him always. Ash makes his mind up.

Ash and Pikachu make a sled from the broken yacht, and fleet in it on the frozen ground, pulled by other few Pokémon. However, when they are near their destination, struck by god Pokémon's attacks, their sled is crushed to pieces. Staring at the island of Freeze, Ash and Pikachu gnash their teeth, big disappointment in their minds. Team Rocket in a boat they made keeps up with them, and invites them to join them. It is the great help.

With Team Rocket's help, they can finally reach the island of Freeze, and have the last treasure ball, as god Pokémon's battle gets bitter and hard, blocking their way to destroy their boat.

In the deepest of the sea, something appears and goes upward, taking the ocean current. Splashing on the surface of water, it leaps out of the sea--it is Lugia, the God of Sea, Giraldan wants the best.

According to the legend, Lugia takes Ash who holds Pikachu on his back and flies, dodging their way through the battle field of three god Pokémon. When they are near their destination, Giraldan's cage assaults them suddenly, finally capturing Lugia. He flares up, and opens his mouth to spit a destructive beam, which hits to explode Giraldan's ship. Lugia then is totally exhausted, and drops into the sea, while Ash is also flown into the sea.

Flura decide to dive to save Ash, as Misty stops her. She says quietly, "he is a burden to me. So I'll go." She dives into the sea then, and successfully catch Ash and Pikachu in raging waves, and swims back to the shore, taking them. As he wakes and find himself, he is trying to the shrine in which he offered the first two treasure balls--to place the last one. Pikachu follows him, encouraging him.

Ash set the ball in the Shrine, and Flura blows on her ocarina. Dizzling flashes are released from the treasure balls, spreading over the sea. Three God Pokémon calm down finally, leaving for where they used to be--following Lugia who has recovered.
