GOTCHA!

GOTCHA! (Japanese: GOTCHA!) is a special music video that was first released as part of a video about the Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass on the official YouTube channel on September 29, 2020. It features the song Acacia by the Japanese rock band , including captions in nine languages.
==Plot==
The video begins on the Pokémon logo, which fades into four featureless characters resembling the protagonists of the film walking along a railroad, a reference to the film which played on the television in the Generation I games. It then cuts to images of a young boy growing up with his , before waking up to have the Pikachu crawling over his face; similarly, a young girl is shown growing up with her , waking up in the morning to give it a kiss on the cheek. The boy, his Pikachu on his head, walks out in front of a third person, sleeping in front of a film projector with her , and the camera zooms into the sky-like setting on his shirt, where the girl is shown skipping while wearing a backpack with her Eevee in it. The boy and girl each walk through their various locales while in the background, all of the Gym Leaders, Trial Captains, island kahunas, and Elite Four members from the first seven generations watch them, gathered amongst themselves by their common types.
As they continue walking, the boy and the girl lose each of their Pokémon. Separately, the boy and girl find themselves in a modern-looking city, where they see silhouettes of various Legendary Pokémon, Mythical Pokémon, and Ultra Beasts, followed by the silhouettes of the main antagonists of the first seven generations of core games. The boy and girl then each find the other's Pokémon. As the boy looks at the girl's Eevee, the various player characters are shown running happily together in silhouette, with stopping to look at the audience.
The scene cuts to various moments from the games. The Pokémon Champions — Lance with his , Mega Evolving his , Wallace with his , Cynthia with her , Alder and Iris high-fiving each other, and Diantha with a Poké Ball — appear for the camera; and Hugh get ready for a battle with and ; Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor smile; is shown walking with Cheren and Bianca, before being replaced by and the older versions of Cheren and Bianca, respectively; and her get into a battle with ; is shown alongside Hau and Gladion; similarly, is shown with Lillie and Nebby (as a ); N with his stares at and Hilda with their ; is shown similarly staring at and the three Johto first partner Pokémon (, , and ); Wally confronts and ; stands at the gate of the Pokémon League with all of his Pokémon; and is shown atop Mt. Silver locked in a fierce battle with .
As it begins raining, Red's cap flies off and lands on the boy's Pikachu (who is now being carried around by the girl) as a silhouette of passes by; similarly, the boy stares at the girl's Eevee during harsh sunlight while being silhouetted by . The sky eventually clears, and the boy and girl continue walking around.
The scene cuts to the various Galar Gym Leaders and participants in the Champion Cup. As Hop gets ready for battle, he "transforms" into Leon, who is then shown in his battle with and . After being defeated, Leon throws his cap in the air, which flies through a marquee screen and onto the boy and the Eevee. Looking up, they see the girl and the Pikachu, and they reunite as and are shown sleeping together in the marquee screen. As the boy and girl speak to each other, they are watched over by the various s, and then by all of the regional first partner Pokémon, in the marquee screen. The boy and girl, wearing Red and Leon's hats respectively, then leave with their respective Pokémon, while the es and s appear and pose on two nearby billboards. The scene then transitions back to the four boys from the beginning. The camera tilts up to show flying overhead; after it briefly looks at the camera, a silhouetted man waves to the camera and throws a Poké Ball at it as the title appears. After that, the credits roll on a cinema screen with a sleeping girl and her Yamper sitting in the seats as the only audience members.
