Despite pretending to care for Crown City, Kodai is in fact a psychopathic and sadistic man who cares little for Crown City and its people. At the end of the film, he is arrested, but in the manga, Zoroark chases him to the top floors of the Stadium, summoning illusionary vines in front of him, then he trips and plummets to his death. Unlike other Pokémon villains, he was discovered to be shockingly evil, going as far as strangling Celebi, electrocuting Zorua then saying he got a kick out of it, trying to kill Ash and his friends, and nearly murdering Zoroark.

Zoroark, voiced by Romi Park: A Dark-type Pokémon abducted by Kodai. She rampages through Crown City in the guises of Raikou, Entei and Suicune due to Kodai blackmailing her with her son, Zorua's, safety. Near the end of the film, Zoroark helps Celebi stop Kodai and protect the time ripple by casting one of her illusions on him, which tricks him into thinking he's already captured the time ripple's power for himself. When Zoroark collapses from exhaustion after helping Celebi and the protagonists to stop Kodai and protect her son and the time ripple, Celebi repays Zoroark by restoring her energy with time ripple, reviving her.
Zorua, voiced by Kurumi Mamiya in Japanese and Eileen Stevens in English: A Pokémon related to Zoroark that can use weaker illusion powers. He is desperate to reunite with his mother, the film's Zoroark, whom he refers to as "Meema". In middle of the film, Zorua befriends Celebi and accepts its help in looking for Zoroark. Zorua, afterward, makes an effort to help protect Celebi and the time ripple and stop Kodai.
Celebi, voiced by Rie Kugimiya: A Mythical Pokémon that travels through time to visit Crown City. The last time it appeared prior to the movie was twenty years ago, when it was attacked by Kodai and his Shuppet, who was after the Time Ripple. In the present day, Celebi and its time ripple are once again targeted by Kodai. In middle of the film, Celebi befriends Zorua and helps him look for Zoroark. Celebi also has the power to make flowers magically bloom as well as turn the flowers into edible, fully ripened fruit.
The Legendary Beasts (Raikou, Entei and Suicune), A trio of Shiny Legendary Pokémon are the protectors of Crown City. They appeared when they believed that Zoroark was terrorizing the town. When they came to Crown City, they attacked Zoroark, and chased it down in the process. When they cornered Zoroark, the Pokémon living in Crown City all surrounded them and the Legendary beasts then stopped attacking Zoroark after learning that it had no malevolent intentions. Later, when Grings Kodai, on the verge of his defeat, tried to reach the Time Ripple a final time, Raikou, Entei, and Suicune cornered Kodai, causing him to flee to the stadium, where he was knocked unconscious by Zoroark. The three then roared their farewells to Zoroark when it and Zorua left to return to Unova. Raikou is voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi, Entei is voiced by Kenta Miyake and Suicune is voiced by Kiyotaka Furushima, respectively.
