Long ago, Arceus granted a fragment of its awesome power as the Jewel of Life to help Michina in the town's hour of need, only to be betrayed when it was time that power to be returned. After so many years, Arceus is about to return to reclaim that stolen power-enraged, vengeful, and seemingly unstoppable! Not even the combined might of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina can stop Arceus from devastating all existence across multiple dimensions. But Ash and his companions, joining forces with their new friend Sheena, may have discovered the only way to redeem that ancient betrayal. Their journey will be both dangerous and uncertain: even if Ash and his friends can set an old wrong right again, will there be time to return the Jewel of Life before Arceus destroys everything and everyone they've ever known? (official distributor synopsis)

Even though legendary Pokémon from the previous film appear here, it doesn't change the fact that the battles between them are simply excellent. This time, it's not so much about the story, although a rich mythology is being formed here, but rather about the competition, which after all is the essence of the whole game. Except for the collecting. Time travel is an interesting element that adds some life to the story, and within the framework of a children's tale, causality is reasonably well handled.
