[B]::Summary on 'Shaymin-ute Men'::
Ash and friends are on the road again, when a trio of sick looking Oddish waddling on the path and faint. The concerned trainers pick up and take the Pokemon to the nearest Pokemon center. (cue theme song) Nurse Joy comes out, telling Ash, Dawn and Brock that the Oddish are seriously ill, but can't find anything wrong. Suddenly several trainers run in, carrying all sorts of Pokemon including Bulbsaur, Treecko, Leafeon, and Tangela, all having the same illness as Oddish. Ash, determinded to find out the cause runs out, followed by Brock and Dawn. There is a strange light coming from the forest ahead. Ash runs to it, stopping in surprise seeing a strangely dressed girl and a Celebi. They talk amongst each other and look to Ash, disappearing.

Ash stumble back, bumping into the strange girl. She commands Celebi to attack Ash. The attacks barely miss, as Dawn and Brock run up. Pikachu jumps out of Brock's arms and Thunders Celebi, badly hurting it. The strange girl is reduced to tears, picking up her Pokemon. After some questioning, (time lapse) the strange girl's name is Celessi and she is from the future, working as a Pokemon Ranger. She tells the gang that there is a Pokemon named Shaymin somewhere in the forest who is really sick, making all other Pokemon, mainly Grass Pokemon, sick. Celessi begs them to help, and of course Ash accepts. The gangs runs off, following Celessi's lead.

The bushes behind them shake with laughter as they run off. Team Rock pops up, plotting to capture Shaymin for Giovanni. Celessi suggests that they split up, since time is running out. Each trainer takes a Pokemon and a special future watch and splits up. Team Rocket goes around them and plants several traps. Brock and Crogunk walk right into a pit trap. Dawn and Piplup hear their screams and rushes to help, only to get ensnared by a net. Team Rocket laugh and run to capture Ash and Celessi, taking another mecha-machine with them.

In a small clearing, a badly hurt Shaymin moaned. Pikachu runs up, calling over Ash. He smiles, going to call Celessi, but a robot hand shoots out of nowhere, grabbing Shaymin and then Pikachu. Ash turns around, only to get hit and stuck to a tree with some webbing from the giant spider-like mecha. Ash struggles, alerting Celessi, who is already on her way. Celebi does a Leaf Storm, both freeing Ash and the captured Pokemon. Ash catches Pikachu and Celessi catches Shaymin. Ash commands Pikachu to attack Team Rocket.

Back to Dawn and Brock, Piplup Pecks his way out and goes to the pit. Brock tells Piplup to fill the hole with water and the two inside rise to the top. Crogunk then cuts Dawn out and the both of them recieve a message from Celessi, telling them to hurry to them. The trainers pick up their Pokemon and run to the scene, giving Team Rocket some revenge attacks and joining with Pikachu and Celebi, the four Pokemon combine attacks and send Team Rocket blasting off.

As morning comes, Shaymin is getting treatment. Pretty soon, Shaymin is healthy and playing with Celebi and Pikachu. Celessi tells the gang that she fixed the future and reveals that the sick Shaymin made the forest die, and the Pokemon in it as well. Soon the entire world was dying, and Celessi tells the sad tell. She ends with a smile and a thank you, taking Celebi and returning to the future. Shaymin coos, disappearing and making the forest around Ash and the gang bloom out in beautiful flowers. The gang awes, returning to the Pokemon Center, finding all the sick Pokemon, returned to complete health. Feeling better now, they return to their travels.

Very cool that they're introducing Shaymin so soon after Darkrai in the US. Hopefully this means that they will have an event for it soon after the 11th movie event in Japan, or possibly even before (doubtful).

Was it that soon? Or are you talking about the Darkrai movie?... Hm, I never noticed that. Maybe they will. Ooh, maybe Shaymin will be in the new Ranger!

According to what I've read, the only missions available in Ranger 2 are Manaphy (again), Riolu, and apparently Darkrai.

Sheimi will be given away during the 11th movie and according to a screen shot on the official site, one of the special moves it knows is Shadow Flare.

In addition, people who are members of Club Nintendo get advanced priority to this Pokemon.

As for when Sheimi will be available in America? Probably not until at least the fall.

Bummer. So I guess this is a tease. Curse Nintendo... or Pokemon USA.

If you haven't noticed by now, this was an April Fools joke.
