Description: In a world where humans and Pokémon coexist peacefully, Tim Goodman leads an ordinary life without Pokémon. When his father goes missing, Tim embarks on a journey to uncover the truth. Along the way, he encounters a witty and clever Pikachu, whom only Tim can understand. This Pikachu claims to be a detective, and together, they dive into a thrilling mystery to find Tim’s father and uncover the secrets behind their connection.
Set in Ryme City, where humans and Pokémon live side by side, Tim teams up with Pikachu after learning about his father’s mysterious car accident. They meet Howard, Harry’s former partner, who helps them investigate the crash. Initially, Howard blames the legendary Pokémon Mewtwo for the incident. However, Tim discovers that a Greninja, a water-type Pokémon, was actually responsible.
As they dig deeper, Tim uncovers Howard’s sinister plan: using a mind-control helmet, Howard manipulated Mewtwo and released a dangerous gas to transform humans into Pokémon. Pikachu confronts Mewtwo in an intense battle, using his electrical powers. Tim ultimately removes Howard’s helmet, freeing Mewtwo from control.
Mewtwo restores order to the city and reverses the transformations. It reveals that Tim’s father, Harry, was trying to protect Mewtwo from Howard’s control but was attacked by Greninja, leading to the car accident. To save Harry, Mewtwo fused his body with Pikachu. In the end, Mewtwo separates Harry and Pikachu, reuniting Tim with his father. Inspired by the adventure, Tim becomes a detective and decides to stay in Ryme City with his father and Pikachu.
