Pikachu's Latest Music Video Cameo Sees Him Be Abducted By A Man In A Big Hat's Techno Spaceship
Hey, it's Friday as I write this and a new music video has appeared in our lives with a cameo from Pikachu. In case you're wondering, he gets kidnapped by a spaceship piloted by a DJ in a big hat, and it's a lot of fun.
Yes, I'm serious, and the Pokemon Company has officially confirmed the event - probably just "we're investigating" to make sure the few people still trying to stop asking have something to say about Palworld. Now get ready because this video is about I'm not sure you're ready to face all the consequences the story might bring.
Firstly, the song itself is called “Never Be Lonely” and was performed by DJ and songwriter Jax Jones along with singer Zoe Weisz. The former's name will be familiar to Pokemon fans as he is one of the artists featured on the 2021 album, released to mark Pokemon's 25th anniversary.
He's also the guy in the big hat you read about in the title, but honestly that's the worldly side of his new video. You see, this film takes place in a “future world” where Jones and Weisz appear in a stadium-shaped spaceship. Pikachu was sleeping on the ground in the park - I don't know why, maybe he was having a hard time after Ash abandoned him after the battle and took all the other Pokemon - in a stolen fashion, when a car crashed into him in typical UFO fashion .
After a moment, the little blonde boy joined Jones and Wes on stage. He wasn't afraid of the situation at all and just started dancing with his partner and her dancers, probably thinking that if he could adapt to their culture and imitate them, they wouldn't notice him.
Then, as the song hits its lowest point, he unleashes a relentless light attack that sounds like he's going to blow up the entire stadium, but let's not forget that this isn't a music video, it's reality. In case you're wondering, Pikachu isn't being sent back to Earth, meaning this abduction case could still be ongoing.
“This collaboration with Zoe Wees and Pikachu is a dream come true for me,” Jones said of the video. “Never Be Lonely is a sonic journey into the heart of music and friendship, and it is an honor for Pikachu to join us on this adventure.”
Yes, I replied, but when are you going to return the poor thing to its planet? Unfortunately, the Hatter will never answer me, even if I give him seven light signals on his earworm trail.
Unfortunately, you'll have to wait a little longer than planned to watch Pikachu and friends in Pokemon Horizons via Netflix. The anime is scheduled to release in March. Yes, there are some Pokémon Crimson and Purple characters here.
