Pokémon makes its real-life debut, starring Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds, in Detective Pikachu.

When ace detective Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, his 21-year-old son Tim takes it upon himself to find out what happened.

Aiding in the investigation is Harry's former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu; a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth.

Pikachu is a puzzlement even to himself and the film will see Reynolds - who has previously starred as filthily funny vigilante Deadpool and the Green Lantern - bring his comedic acting skills to this new role, in the form of a pint-sized mouse.

Tim and Pikachu stumble across the discovery that they can secretly communicate and decide to team up and work together to unravel the tangled mystery.

Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City - a sprawling modern metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world.

The pair encounter a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot which could destroy the peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokémon world.

Pokémon: Detective Pikachu will be at Weston's Odeon, in The Centre tomorrow (Friday).
