'Pokémon the Movie: Everyone's Story' Trailer Will Reveal New Pokémon This Monday

Pokémon fans finally get to see a new reveal this Monday, April 9, when the latest trailer for Everyone's Story drops on Japanese television.

According to Serebii, the next Everyone's Story trailer will premiere during the Japanese variety show Oha Suta and reveal a new Pokémon. While we do not yet know the exact time the trailer will air, it will almost certainly be the first official reveal of a mythical Pokémon from the Alola Region.

SPOILER ALERT! If you don't want to know anything about the upcoming reveal, turn back now.

While rumors of a new Eeveelution have run rampant recently, the Pokémon movie trailer reveal will likely be the pure Electric-type cat Pokémon Zeraora.

For those unfamiliar with Zeraora, this Mythical Pokémon was found in the code of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon when the games released in 2017. So it's the logical conclusion to make even if many Pokémon fans may not be surprised by the reveal.

Pokémon the Movie: Everyone's Story will bring Ash and Pikachu to a new town where they meet new trainers and partake in the "wind festival." This movie will also see the return of Lugia to the Pokémon movies. Check out the official synopsis for Everyone's Story below.

Once a year, a "wind festival" is held in Fura City, the city where people live together with the wind. While the ancient belief that the legendary Pokémon Lugia will appear and bring about the blessed wind on the final day of the festival still exists, the people that gather in the city participate in the festival while wrapped in their own thoughts......

Lisa, the highschooler and Pokémon rookie.

Kagachi, the braggart that just can't stop telling tall tales.

Trito, the timid researcher that lacks confidence.

Hisui, the old eccentric that hates Pokémon.

Largo, the mysterious little girl that hangs around in the forest all by herself.

These are the people that Ash and Pikachu meet. That meeting makes everyone's story start moving forward.

Japanese moviegoers who pre-order tickets to the new Pokémon movie will receive a serial code to download a special Lugia that only knows Flying-type attacks including Hurricane, which it has never been able to learn before.

Pokémon the Movie: Everyone's Story will release in Japan in July.

So what do you think of the upcoming Pokémon reveal? Do you believe it's Zeraora or something else? Let us know in the comments section below
