Pokémon Adventures: I Choose You! (franchise)/Tropes/Tear-Jerker

==I Choose You!==
*The scene where Flora gets severely injured by the corrupted wild Pokémon, to the point where Kimberly protects her using herself as a last resort, is pretty emotional here. Made even worse when the Grass Cat attempts to fight back just in time, but falls weak before she can manage an attack.
*Charmander, Maschiff, Eevee and Pichu happily walking up to hug Cross, their former Trainer, only to be kicked onto the ground by said Trainer.
**Cross talking down about his former Pokémon — and about how he feels about Pokémon in general that he deems weak — can tug a few heartstrings.
**The first encounter with the four Pokéon is also very depressing - unlike Charmander's original counterpart, who when left in the rain hid his tail under a leaf to prevent it from going out (if its tail goes out, it'll die), this Charmander and his friends were just sitting there fully exposed.
*Josie's memory of her father dying as he protects her from Team Rocket. The way the scene is portrayed does not help at all; how Josie was instantly relieved to see her dad fighting back, only to later find out that he died against Giovanni, and how he was smiling in death; this is easily one of the heaviest scenes in the entire movie. The heaviness of it doesn't let up at all in the dubbed version, either.
*Minor ones each time when a main character's Pokémon evolve, specifically how ecstatic and proud their Trainers are of them.
*Kimberly's little breakdown after she, Ash and Serena lose the battle with Cross. She refuses to accept that she lost, and to a heartless trainer at that. She's so upset that she mutters how he could have won using another Pokémon. Saying all of this upsets her even further, causing her to run off into the forest alone, to find herself defeated and helpless without her friends.
*Ash and Kimberly releasing their Butterfree is also a big one. Might be more or less impactful since the original show's theme song doesn't play in the background here. Also depends on how you feel about the line deliveries.
*A minor one: after Cross' Heel–Face Turn, when he tackles his Lycanroc — then corrupted by Marshadow — before he attacks Kimberly and friends with Stealth Rock. The brainwashed Wolf Pokémon bites his Trainer in blind retaliation; Cross takes the pain while yelling at the Pokémon to remember when it bit him on the first day they met, in order to help Lyncis to snap out of it. The affectionate lick he gives his Trainer after he comes to is on the heartwarming side of a tearjerker.
*Kimberly's subsequent death from the Pokémon's attacks. Also, Flora's slowly-building anguish when she comes to realization of the situation. The poor Grass Cat uncontrollably sobbing for her beloved partner isn't any easier to watch. Might be even worse, since Kimberly just flat-out dissolves, so there's no body for Flora or any other Pokémon to cry on and bring her back that way.
**Not to mention the music playing in the background: a sad Piano rendition of the original theme. It just gets you right in the feels.
**Flora breaking down into tears and then outright having an Overgrown Angst Nuke explosion of grief so powerful it clears the sky and blasts every Pokémon within its radius away like ragdolls. 
**Not only Flora was grieving, Flambe was apparently feeling the same way as Flora, and her grief caused her to learn Blast Burn, while still under her Blaze ability. Josie, despite her own grief, can understand why Flambe doesn't take death too well, as she was crying herself.
