Deep in the jungle, far from human habitation. Deep in the jungle, far from human habitation, there is a paradise for Pokémon, the Okoya Forest, protected by a strict code.
One day, stubborn Zarudo (voice: Nakamura Kankuro), who lives there with his friends, finds a human baby by the river.
Ningen, this is..."
Zarudo, unable to abandon the baby, decides to name her Koko (voice: Moka Kamihiraishi), against the law of the forest, and they leave the herd to live together.
They decide to leave the pack and live together.
It has been 10 years since Pokémon began their life raising humans. Coco meets Satoshi and Pikachu, who come to the Okoya Forest. They are the first "ningen friends" she has ever had.
Coco, who had never doubted that she was a Pokémon, gradually begins to have doubts in her mind.
