If I set <phase>post-integration-test</phase> to <phase>pre-integration-test</phase> then my report generated before test and this is it. No test in reports. Can you please help me to figureout why?

The reason for the behaviour you are seeing is fairly simple: As tests are being run Jbehave saves results of each test in target/jbehave/ as storyclass.html and storyclass.stats. When the report generation runs, it consumes those files to generate your report under target/jbehave/reports. By attempting to generate your reports before running the tests, you are generating reports with no input.

With regards to how to achieve your desired outcome, I don't think there is any official way provided by Jbehave.

I wouldn't recommend doing this but if I had to do it I would start by trying to add an @AfterStory step that runs report generation to update the reports each time a story finishes. Problem with this is that even if it works, each time this happens the whole report is re-generated which will get slower and slower with each story run in your test suite, so if you have a big suite you will end up adding a bit to your execution time. You could then take it a step further and have your step do some custom light-weight report generation to give you a temporary status report that appends rather then re-creates the reports which can be replaced by the full report generated by Jbehave post execution.
