Four years ago, a meteorite crashed to Earth carrying an otherworldly new Pokemon type. Named Deoxys by the local research team, the strange new foe was quickly attacked by the dragon-like Rayquaza Pokemon out of territorial aggression, and ultimately vanished into the sea. Now, in the present, Ash, Brock and the gang have arrived at the technologically advanced city of Larousse to win more battles and have a good time; but danger is afoot! After meeting Tory, a boy who is terrified of Pokemon, the gang soon discover that Deoxys is back, and angry as ever. In a race against time, Ash and his friends must try to prevent another Deoxys and Rayquaza battle that threatens the very city itself!

With new friends to meet and new enemies to defeat, the best time of Misaki's life seems to be just beginning. Join Misaki as she struggles to be the best, even in the face of overwhelming odds...
Admittedly, Pokemon has a rather childish flair. Regardless, if you enjoyed the monster fighting action of Pokemon (and/or the somewhat more serious tone of the 7th movie), I think you'd appreciate the tone, feel, and story of Angelic Layer as well. Though not identical, I still think you'd enjoy one if you liked the other.
