Perhaps The Most Surprising Thing About The New Pokmon Movie. The new flick Pokmon I Choose You Brock and Misty, but theres something that might be even more surprising. Warning this article has spoilers Up until now, Ashs Pikachu has communicated by saying variations of pika and Pikachu. Last year, Pikachu voice actresses Ikue Otani recalled how she was teased because others thought voicing the character was an easy gig. In the newly released I Choose You, however, Ashs Pikachu says more than the standard pika pika, speaking Japanese at a climatic point in the film. Via Alex Aniel and PokBeach, here is how the scene plays out in the movie In a move resembling the Spearow scene from episode 1, as well as the Mewtwo movie, Ash blocks the hit to protect Pikachu and appears to die. Ashs body vanishes, leaving just his hat. Pikachu fires a huge Thunderbolt at Marshadow and mourns for Ash, who in the meantime has appeared in an alternate reality like the afterlife. Ash sees Pikachu back in their world and tries to run toward him, but to no avail. In a touching scene that moved the audience, Pikachu speaks directly to Ash in Japanese and tells him I want to be with you forever. The line of dialogue that Pikachu says in Japanese is Itsumo issho ni itai kara.

Because the scene takes place with Ash in an alternative reality, that could also explain Pikachus sudden ability to use the Japanese language.
