This new adventure follows Tim Goodman and his partner, a wise-cracking Pikachu with the ability to communicate with Tim, as they attempt to solve the ongoing mystery behind the disappearance of Tim’s father.
The mystery unfolds in Ryme City, a place where humans and Pokémon coexist and support each other. Partner Pokémon and wild Pokémon alike wander the city alongside the people who live there.
When there's a case to be solved, Tim Goodman and Pikachu are the perfect team for the job. Tim is a university student who is still searching for the truth about his missing father, Harry.
Joining Tim on his search is Harry's former partner—the self-proclaimed great Detective Pikachu. With his ability to talk to both Tim and Pokémon, Pikachu is able to gather clues from his fellow Pokémon to assist in the investigation.
