Unfortunately, they still have no food or water. They have a choice: sit for a few days until it becomes an actual issue, or run outside like idiots to search for food right now. They of course choose the latter. Ash, Brock, Tory, Pikachu, Plusle, and Minun go to look for food while Rafe, Blaziken, Rebecca, and Metagross go to look for the kidnapped people. Because it makes perfect sense to send your two most powerful pokemon to look for the kidnapped people and your weakest ones to look for food. Sadly, the Deoxys clones manage to steal Minun and a vending machine Pikachu had shocked to work without the electrical grid. The bastards! I wanted one of those-- hot dogs? They sell hot dogs in vending machines? Ewwww.
Rafe and Rebecca find the building where they're taking kidnapped people to, but can't actually do anything about it. Fortunately, Ash and Brock do succeed in finding actual food and water, and everyone returns to the laboratory.
In the morning, the Deoxys clones find the heroes, so Yuko takes them to the underground laboratory. Why didn't she take them there before? Because don't shut up. No, I want you to ask questions and wonder about things, because the more people say "I don't care about the details," the more plot holes writers will put into their movies for convenience's sake. Don't shut up, question everything, look to everything you see with a critical eye. In any case, she takes them to the deepest part of the laboratory: the room where they store the crystal they found. The crystal glows, and the CGI effect leaves it and comes to Tory, and everyone realizes that Tory's friend is Deoxys using its psychic powers to communicate with him. Rebecca figures everything out now: the auroras are how Deoxys communicate. She took videos of the previous auroras because she is literally the only person in this movie who isn't stupid, and translates the auroras. How does she do that with a few minutes of video of the auroras? Shut up is how.
She realizes, through the translations, that Deoxys is just searching for its friend in the crystal, and is stealing people away because they're interfering with its search. It sees through electrical fields, but people, pokemon, and electrical devices give off such fields and restrict its vision.
Everyone now wants to regenerate the Deoxys in the crystal using lasers (instead of just giving Deoxys the crystal), but Yuko explains that they need way more electricity than they have right now. There's only one logical course of action: go to the wind generators and manually spin them enough to generate electricity for the laser. Instead they decide to free the kidnapped people from earlier because derp.
They free the kidnapped people in a surprisingly easy moment, but Rafe has to fight Deoxys for a few moments. A lucky shot by Blaziken disrupts Deoxys' concentration, allowing Rayquaza to punch through the force field and enter the city and attack Deoxys.
Brock and the other characters go to the wind generators to spin them manually while Ash and Tory go back to the laboratory to help Yuko activate the laser (because she definitely needs their help for that). When they succeed, the crystal explodes, and out comes a Deoxys. It takes Ash and Tory (but not Yuko) to find its friend.
