Ash Ketchum still dreams of being the greatest Pokemon master, and now he has to fulfill his dream in Alola! During when he is in the Alolan School, he makes new friends (and enemies) and travels through Alola to compete in Island Trials to earn Z-Crystals. One night, he receives a surprise encounter from Tapu Koko, giving his Pikachu lots of power. Is the power enough, or does Ash have to travel back to Kanto?

Cast
Directed by James Cameron.

Veronica Taylor as Ash Ketchum- A Pokemon Trainer who always dreamed of becoming the greatest Pokemon Master of all time. Did Ash succeed in his goal? Well... not really.

Shakira   as Lillie- A Pokemon Trainer who accompanies Ash on his adventures. While Ash is generally made fun of in school, she stands up for him.

Malin Akerman as Mallow- A Pokemon Trainer who accompanies Ash on his adventures. She has a crush on him, but is too afraid to tell.

Jessica Chastain as Delia- Ash's mom. She takes care of Ash (like a mother should, by the way) and also loves him like a mother should.

Victoria Justice as Serena. She is Ash's childhood friend who dreams to be the queen of Kalos but didn't. She has a major crush on Ash.

Craig Roberts as Zack, a kid in the School of Alola who doesn't find anything funny. His signature line is, "Why do you immature losers laugh all the time?" He travels with Ash, Mallow and Lillie.

Amy Poehler as Jessie, the female Team Rocket member we all know. She has a big temper all the time, and gets easily annoyed by literally anything.

Billy Crystal as James, the male Team Rocket member we all know. Unlike Jessie, he doesn't really get annoyed, and likes to joke around every once and a while.

Chris Evans as Jordan, a kid who is in Ash's class. He likes to tease and make fun of him.

Johnny Depp as Morton, a man in the lounge. He notably doesn't care about what anyone says nor does.

Mark Wahlberg as Giovanni, the head-master of Team Rocket. He is Jessie & James's boss. He owns a pet Persian.
