----

* [[The Ace]]: Kidd. To quote Brock: "Kidd Summers has set a world record for setting the most world records ever a[[User:Dai-Guard|Dai-Guard]] ([[User talk:Dai-Guard|talk]])nd, she's soared higher, dived deeper, and space-traveled farther than any human being in history. Kidd's also a surfing expert, a gourmet cook, and a badminton champ. To call Kidd Summers a superwoman is the understatement of the century! She's super-duper!". The only reason Brock knows all of this is because he's her [[Stalker with a Crush|"biggest fan"]].

* [[Action Girl]]: Kidd again.

* [[Beast of Battle]]: As one might expect, the flashbacks to the war Lucario and Sir Aaron were in show humans and Pokémon fighting side-by-side.

* [[Broken Bird|Broken Pokémon]]: Lucario.

* [[Broken Pedestal]]: Lucario's present opinion of Sir Aaron. He learns the truth later.

* [[Call Back]]: To the first movie. They are the first two of three movies set in the Kanto region [[Where It All Began]], and both contain a Mew as one of the main characters.

** This in turn has led several fans to believe that Riley is a direct descendant of Sir Aaron, further helped by Riley wearing a necklace in the shape of the pattern on Sir Aaron's gloves.

* [[Failed a Spot Check]]

'''James''': ''Did you miss the "never to be seen" part?'' }}

* [[Famed in Story]]: Sir Aaron is celebrated as a hero in the present day, though Lucario views him quite differently, due to the fact that the last time he sees Sir Aaron is him apparently abandoning the kingdom in its hour of need.

* [[Final Speech]]: Lucario is able to hear Sir Aaron's final words through the Time Flower, culminating in Aaron [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|calling Lucario his friend as he dies and hoping they can meet again someday]].

* [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]: Lucario, though no actual time travel is involved.

** A little bonus can be found in that Sir Aaron, one of those humans who could use Aura, was a knight while he was alive.

* [[Four Is Death]]: The four Time Flowers the gang finds. {{spoiler|The first shows Ash falling down the mountain after grabbing it, the second shows a vision of the stampeding armies and Lucario being sealed in the staff, the third shows Sir Aaron giving Mew his Aura, and the fourth delivers Sir Aaron's final words.}}

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: The pompoms on Jessie's festival outfit have implications.

** Brock and that handbook of his.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Both Sir Aaron and Lucario give their lives to stop a war/save Mew's life, respectively.}}

* [[Hero Antagonist]]: Arguably the Regis, protectors of the Tree of Beginning, who only persecuted Ash and company after they "invaded".

* [[Kamehame Hadoken]]: Lucario's Aura Sphere, of course.

* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Sir Aaron in the flashbacks {{spoiler|and Lucario at the end.}}

* [[Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You|Lucario Is About To Fire An Aura Sphere At You]]

* [[Missing Trailer Scene]]: One of the trailers involved scenes such as Kid apparently attempting to drive her jeep through the hot springs, Lucario going into some kind of alternate dimension, and a scene in a rocky area with Ash and Lucario. Ash is kneeling with a scared look on his face while reaching towards Lucario, who is lying on the ground, apparently dead from unknown causes.

* [[Mistaken Identity]]: When Lucario is first set free, he initially believes Ash is Sir Aaron because their Aura is the same. Not knowing this at the time, Ash believed the mistake was due to wearing an outfit similar to Aaron's.

* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Played straight with a human and then immediately averted with the 'tree' and Pokémon.

'''Ash:''' If I don't do this, the Tree will die, and so will the Pokémon who live here! }}

* [[No Antagonist]]: Team Rocket doesn't really do much this time around, and the entire rest of the plot is set in motion by well-meaning characters who are just [[Poor Communication Kills|spectacularly poor at communicating]].
