Synopsis

While visiting a big city home to many lively Pokémon, Pikachu rejoices when Satoshi, Kasumi, and Takeshi give their Pokémon free rein to play, with the only condition that they must all be at this rooftop in two hours. Unfortunately, Pikachu's leisure time is short-lived when he encounters a Pichu on a rooftop across the street. While bantering with each other, Pikachu nearly falls off the building. Following a lucky sequence of events, Pikachu finds himself safe next to Pichu and his brother—but on the opposite side of the road!

Because they are familiar with the area, the Pichu brothers volunteer to escort Pikachu back to his friends. As the trio stumble upon a series of obstacles on their journey across the bustling city, Pikachu starts to wonder if he will rejoin his companions on time.

LOL that was my first response whenever i started watching this. here i thought i was going to be watching the third pokemon movie and i got this twenty minute short all about pikachu and the other pokemon around the city they were visiting. i found the story of friendship and fun to be cute, heartwarming, and funny. not much else can really be said about it, this short side story is just cuteness of the pokemon series. it is one that features itself around the pokemon this time, not with battles and trainers. classic pokemon art, narration, voice acting all keep it original and ...

A true masterpiece of the Pokemon franchise, this 20 minute rollercoaster is action-packed yet has a heartwarming undertone that teaches us about friendship and that hardwork can overcome all obstacles; in this case a toppled ramschackle playground.
There are also light-hearted moments of comedy that will have you rolling in the aisles, hint: Snorlax antics!.
there is no true villain in this short story, it is far, far too complex for that, however, some pokemon do generate antipathy from the audience. Namely, the houndor, however, in the end he bands together with his fellow Pokemon to complete a feat of architecture so magical that it sears ...
