English Official Summary

While our heroes are exploring Reflection Cave, named for its mirrorlike crystal walls, Ash’s own reflection pulls Pikachu through one of the mirrors! Ash leaps after it and finds himself in another world, with a Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena very different from the ones he knows. After our Ash helps Mirror Ash drive off Team Rocket and reclaim his own Pikachu, Mirror Clemont tells him of a frightening legend—people who pass through one of the mirrors in Reflection Cave must return to their own world before sunset or risk being stuck on the wrong side of the mirror forever! Ash hurries back to the mirror he first stepped through, where his friends are waiting on the other side, and all of them focus on reuniting with each other. Thanks to the strong bonds of friendship, Ash and Pikachu are pulled back to their own world just in time!

Ash springt hinterher und findet sich in einer anderen Welt wieder, in der er auf Citro, Heureka und Serena trifft, die vom Wesen her ganz anders als seine Freunde in der ihm bekannten Welt sind. Nachdem unser Ash hilft, den Spiegel-Ash und dessen Pikachu wieder zu vereinen, muss er die andere Welt   so schnell wie möglich wieder verlassen, damit er dort nicht für immer festsitzt!

Mentre i nostri eroi stanno esplorando la Grotta dei Riflessi - così chiamata per i suoi cristalli simili a specchi - il riflesso di Ash trascina Pikachu con sé dentro uno specchio. Ash lo insegue, ritrovandosi così in un’altra dimensione dove incontra tre amici molto diversi dal solito. Dopo avere aiutato l’altro Ash a ritrovare il suo Pikachu, il nostro Ash deve sbrigarsi se vuole tornare indietro e non rischiare di rimanere bloccato per sempre! I suoi amici lo stanno aspettando davanti allo stesso specchio in cui è scomparso e, una volta aperto il portale, tutti i ragazzi si concentrano per fare in modo che Ash torni da loro. Grazie al forte legame di amicizia che li lega, Ash e Pikachu riescono a rientrare nel loro mondo appena in tempo!

Satoshi and friends visit "Reflection Cave". This is a cave that reflects them like a mirror, and here, a strange incident occurs.

Summary:
During their journey, Satoshi and friends visit "Reflection Cave". This is a cave that reflects them like a mirror, and here, a strange incident occurs. Incredibly, Pikachu is abducted by the other Satoshi, the reflection in the mirror!

Wanting to take Pikachu back, Satoshi instinctively jumps into the mirror wall... and ends up in another world!? There, he meets a determined Serena, an athletic Citron and a lady-like Eureka, neither of which bear that much resemblance to his ordinary travelmates.. Will Satoshi be able to take Pikachu back? And will they be able to return to their own world!?
