The film starts with an opening scene depicting Wes stealing some sort of equipment from the strongly guarded headquarters of Team Snagem, and then proceeding to flee with an Espeon and Umbreon as the base explodes. After riding on a strange one-wheeled motorcycle for a while, Wes stops at the dilapidated gas station of Outskirt Stand. Wes battles Rider Willie, who tells him about Phenac City after he is defeated.
