The '''Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer''' (Japanese: '''『ポケモンマスターズ』トレーナー大集結スペシャルアニメーション''' ''Pokémon Masters: Trainers Great Gathering Special Animation'') is an original special {{pkmn|animation|animated}} trailer made to promote the release of the game [[Pokémon Masters EX|Pokémon Masters]].

The trailer premiered in Japan on June 27, 2019, followed by a release with Japanese and English voice acting on the official Japanese and English Pokémon [[YouTube]] channels, respectively. On the French, German, Italian, Spanish, Hong Kong, and Taiwan YouTube channels, the video was released with Japanese audio and subtitles in the respective language.

==Plot==
Focusing in on a castle stadium complex, {{mas|Cynthia}}, {{mas|Steven|Steven Stone}}, and {{mas|Lance}}, flanked by their signature Pokémon, await their next challengers. {{mas|Korrina}}, {{mas|Cheren}}, and {{mas|Misty}} rush up the stairs to take the {{pkmn|Champion}} trio on. Cheren orders his {{p|Stoutland}} to attack with {{m|Giga Impact}}, but it is struck back by [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] with {{m|Dragon Claw}}. [[Korrina's Lucario]] leaps to Stoutland's defense, helping to break its fall. [[Lance's Dragonite]] follows up with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but [[Misty's Starmie]] protects its allies from the oncoming attack with {{m|Light Screen}}. Steven calls for {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} to attack with {{m|Flash Cannon}}. As the swirling beams of light chase after the opposition, Lucario fires off an {{m|Aura Sphere}}, Starmie uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and Stoutland retaliates with a {{m|Crunch}} attack.

Elsewhere, [[Scottie]] is seen with a {{p|Pikachu}} on his shoulder. {{mas|Brock}} and {{mas|Rosa}}, accompanied by her {{p|Snivy}}, rush out a house onto their next adventure. [[Brock's Onix]] soon rumbles into view and joins its Trainer. Similarly, [[Bettie]], {{mas|Barry}}, and {{mas|Iris}} leave a [[Pokémon Center]]. Soon, Brock and his friends reach the bustling [[Centra City]] and pause to watch the ongoing match featuring the three Champions from before from an overhead screen. The female Trainer and her associates exit through a drawbridge, and they all stop for a moment as the female Trainer checks her Poryphone for directions.

A battle wages on in the nearby forest. Brock's Onix bursts through the ground and uses {{m|Rock Slide}} at its opponents. However, {{mas|Erika}} is unfazed and has her {{p|Vileplume}} use {{m|Petal Dance}}. A {{tc|Beauty}} orders her {{p|Lotad}} to use {{m|Energy Ball}}, and a {{tc|Lass}} has her {{p|Whimsicott}} use {{m|Leech Seed}} to slow Onix down. As Onix struggles, Rosa and Scottie order Snivy and Pikachu into the fray. Snivy manages to free Onix of the Leech Seed with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}, but it is struck down by Lotad's oncoming Energy Ball, though Brock catches Snivy and quickly helps it recover with a spritz of [[Potion]]. Pikachu finds itself surrounded by its three opponents, but quickly blasts them away with Thunderbolt. Having defeated Erika and the other two Trainers, Scottie is given a {{badge|Tranquility}} in recognition of his victory. Afterwards, Erika decides to travel with Scottie and his troupe.

Meanwhile, Bettie and her friends run through a desert wasteland to reach a circular battle facility. Inside, they take on {{mas|Skyla}}, {{mas|Flint}}, and {{mas|Acerola}}. {{mas|Red}} and {{mas|Blue}} watch from above as the trio take on Acerola's {{p|Palossand}}. Blue remarks that everyone in the world is gathering in [[Pasio]] and forming new teams, swearing to prove his team as the strongest one of them all. Other teams are shown, including {{mas|Norman}} and {{mas|Brendan}}; {{mas|Professor Oak|Professors Oak}}, {{mas|Professor Sycamore|Sycamore}}, and {{mas|Kukui}}; {{mas|Sabrina}}, {{mas|Fantina}}, and {{mas|Elesa}}; {{mas|Giovanni}}, {{mas|Archer}}, and {{mas|Ariana}}; {{mas|Wulfric}} and {{mas|Crasher Wake}}; {{mas|Lusamine}} and her children {{mas|Lillie}} and {{mas|Gladion}}; {{mas|Hugh}}, {{mas|Silver}}, and {{mas|Wally}}; the [[Striaton Gym]] brothers [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]]; {{mas|Caitlin}}, {{mas|Palmer}}, and {{mas|Thorton}}; and {{mas|Nanu}} and {{mas|Grimsley}}. [[Paulo]], [[Team Break]], [[Rachel]], {{mas|Sawyer}}, and [[Lear]] are then revealed. The battle continues to rage on, so Bettie and her associates have their Pokémon unleash a colorful combination of Thunderbolt, {{m|Bubble Beam}}, and {{m|Dragon Pulse}} at the opposition.

==Trivia==
* This is the fourth trailer of its kind specifically created to promote new games, the [[Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 Animated Trailer|first]] being for [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Animated Shorts|second]] for [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], and the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer|third]] for [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].
* This is the first non-main series animated feature to have a Japanese voice actor reprise their role, with Aki Toyosaki reprising her role as {{mas|Rosa}} from the Black Version 2 and White Version 2 Animated Trailer.
** It is also the first such feature to cast [[Ikue Otani]] as {{p|Pikachu}}.

===Errors===
* In the close-up of {{mas|Erika}} shaking hands with [[Scottie]], the skirt of the {{tc|Lass}} in the background is colored dark-red to match Erika's kimono, instead of the light-blue color shown earlier.
