Appearances[]
Anime[]
The Soul Dew plays a pivotal role in the 5th Pokémon movie, "Pokémon Heroes - Latios and Latias", in which it is able to power a device known as the Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare. The Soul Dew was granted to an elderly couple in the past, after Latios sacrificed its life to save Alto Mare. It is acquired by members of Team Rocket, Annie and Oakley, who wish to use its powers to control the world. The Soul Dew's purpose is to protect the city of Alto Mare from danger, and to this length it is capable of gridlocking the city, controlling the water sources and reviving Pokémon fossils, once connected with the Defense Mechanism. The Soul Dew is said to house the spirit of a Latios.
It is embedded into a water fountain located within the hidden garden. Its sole purpose is to maintain water flow within the city of Alto Mare. Once the Soul Dew is removed from the aforementioned fountain, it is only a matter of time before all of the water drains from the city. When the Soul Dew is placed into the Defense Mechanism, it becomes tainted as a result of overuse. Once a person touches the Soul Dew whilst in this fragile state, it will disintegrate, causing the Defense Mechanism to go berserk.
