Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us Anime Film's New English
Clip Previews Battle
The Pokémon Company International began
streaming a new English-dubbed clip on Friday from Pokémon
the Movie: The Power of Us (Gekijōban Pocket
Monster: Minna no Monogatari), the 21st film in the Pokémon franchise.
The
film has a limited theatrical release through Fathom Events in the United States on November 24, November 26, November 28,
and December 1.
The Pokémon Company
describes the film:
Pokémon
the Movie: The Power of Us tells the story of Ash and Pikachu as they journey to a
small seaside town filled with a diverse set of characters, including a young
athlete, a compulsive liar, a shy researcher, a bitter old woman, and a little
girl with a big secret.
Every
year, the townspeople gather to celebrate the Legendary Pokémon Lugia, who
brings the wind that saved the town from destruction many years ago. The
festival is a time for celebration, with a Pokémon Catching Race and a
ceremonial flame burning brightly to summon Lugia. But when a series of
incidents threatens not just the festival, but all the people and Pokémon who
call the town home, it's going to take more than just Ash and Pikachu to save
the day. Will these people be able to put aside their differences and work together
to rescue their town? Or will it all end in destruction?

The film premiered in theaters in Japan on July 13 and opened at
#2 at the Japanese box office. Lugia and a new Mythical Pokémon named Zeraora
appear in the film. The story is set during the annual Wind Festival at Frau
City, which is blessed with wind from the Legendary Pokémon Lugia.
Kunihiko Yuyama, who
has directed many of the earlier Pokémon films,
including last year's Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!, returned as animation supervisor. Eiji Umehara (Grimoire of Zero, Beelzebub scriptwriter) and Aya Takaha wrote the script.
Wit Studio (Attack on Titan, Kabaneri
of the Iron Fortress) handled animation production along with the franchise's mainstay
studio Oriental Light and Magic. Tetsuo
Yajima, the assistant director of last year's Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!,
returned to direct the film, and Shizue Kaneko (If Her Flag Breaks, Pan de Peace!) designed the characters.
Rock band Porno Graffiti performed the film's theme song "Breath."
