"Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew" is also available right now. The movie, which was released in 2005, features Ash, Brock, May, and Max as they visit Cameran Palace to pay tribute to a hero named Sir Aaron.
The third movie in the lineup is "Pokémon 3: The Movie," which features the town of Greenfield where Ash and his friends soon encounter a mysterious Pokémon called the Unown.
"Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea" completes the list of movies on the channel. In it, Ash and his friends embark on a journey to help a Pokémon Ranger bring the Mythical Pokémon Manaphy to the underworld castle called Samiya.
