The Pokémon Company has released the first of two summer animated shorts on YouTube, called “The First Outing with Morpeko”.
This 11-minute short follows young Shota and his partner Morpeko on a trip to the Pokémon Summer Festival. The big draw for the duo is to be there when their hero Bisharp appears.
However, on the way to the beach, Shota finds his favorite sweater ruined in an encounter with Sandygast, an encounter that casts doubt on his ability to make it to the festival on time.
The second short arrives on July 11th with the title “”Chimchar and the Rookie Pokémon Researcher,” a 2D animation centered around Ryo, a researcher who encounters rare Pokémon in his research outside the laboratory.
