While playing with shadow puppets one night, the Pocket Dragons are startled to encounter the shadow of the sorcerer Shmahz in the castle. But Shmahz isn't there it's just his shadow, which has gotten tired of Shmahz's nastiness, and wants the Pocket Dragons to help it escape to the Shadowcombs, a deep, dark cave in the Mysterious Land where Shmahz will never find it. Of course, Shmahz isn't far behind, and to scare Shmahz away so the shadow can live in peace, the Pocket Dragons must stage the ultimate shadow puppet show.
