According to Rocket News 24, it also featured a steampunk-inspired setting that resembled a city filled with gear work and other mechanical devices. The stunning architectural landscape is then cut short when a colossal fire/water Pokemon, the Volcanion, storms the city in all its maroon and yellow glory.

Volcanion was first introduced in Generation VI and was featured in the December 2015 issue of CoroCoro. It is a maroon quadruped with distinct blue and yellow markings and is endowed with cat-like attributes. It has the ability to turn water vapor into powerful pressurized steam that can blow away mountains as well as shoot lasers.

It's new counterpart, the Magearna, is a metallic, orb-like and bipedal Pokemon that was first leaked in the March issue of CoroCoro magazine last February 10. The 3x3 inch monster was supposedly created by man 500 years ago.

According to Japan Today, it has been speculated that the main antagonist in 'Pokemon XY & Z Movie' is a man who intends to steal the Magearna as well as an artifact called the Soul Heart. Ash and his team will attempt to stop this man before he takes control of their mechanical kingdom.
