On Monday February 18, Manga Entertainment will release the film Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us on Collectors Blu-ray and DVD. The Blu-ray includes four art cards and a poster.
The Pokémon Company described 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 in July 2018 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.
