Fly 'em all! Air Nippon Airways (ANA) began streaming Pokémon-themed in-flight safety and deplaning videos for its airlines on Thursday. The safety videos feature voiceovers giving instructions to passengers in Japanese and English. Various CG-animated Pokémon appear to help illustrate the instructions, including Buizel wearing a life jacket, Jigglypuff angrily huffing at a smoking passenger, and Machamp using two of his four hands to hold up a safety card.

The video “Disembarkation” tells the silent story of a Pikachu who goes missing at the airport. Luckily, Pikachu finds its owner before the flight takes off along with many flying Pokémon, including some legendary Pokémon.
