The story begins when ace private eye Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry’s former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery. Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City—a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world—they encounter a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokémon universe.
Plot
After his father, Harry Goodman, disappears in a past automobile accident, Tim Goodman travels to Ryme City to look for clues, and meets the gruff, talkative Detective Pikachu, who was partnered with Tim's father. They team up to search for him, along with solving other mysteries across Ryme City.

Trivia

- The Jigglypuff shown in the coffee place wielding a microphone/marker is a reference to the Jigglypuff in the Pokémon anime.
- The Greninja uses water swords just like the one in Super Smash Bros. does.
