Story

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

The player first arrives at Seasong Beach after Piplup invites Pikachu to tag along. The pair then overhears Krokorok and Sandile talking about a fun new park called Wish Park. Piplup and Pikachu visit Wish Park, and Piplup gets left behind when Oshawott comes to save them. Oshawott then takes Pikachu to the Area Keeper, Samurott, who asks that Pikachu teams up with Oshawott during their investigation.

After learning of Krokorok and Sandile's whereabouts from Alomomola, Pikachu and Oshawott venture to Cove Town, but Timburr, who is blocking the path to Cove Town, requests them to go to the lighthouse to find his hammer for him first, because he needs it to fix the tunnel's overlook from collapsing. With that done, the duo reaches to Cove Town.

In Cove Town, Oshawott and Pikachu find Krokorok and Sandile and are challenged to a battle. Upon the duo's victory, Krokorok confesses everything to the duo: one day, Gothita came to Krokorok and Sandile for a favor, which is to take the Pokémon to Wish Park, in exchange for Berries. Krokorok then tells the duo how to open Wish Park's Poster Portal: they need many Pokémon friends to wish for the portal to open. After making enough friends, the duo works together with the friends they made to wish for the portal to open, allowing the duo to enter Wish Park again.

After bringing every Pokémon stuck in Wish Park's Cake Zone except Piplup back to the Cove Area, the duo returns to Seasong Beach to once again meet Samurott, who thanks the duo for their heroic actions and then tells them to head to the Arbor Area next to continue their investigation of Wish Park. He also tells the duo to ask Krookodile, the Gatekeeper in Cove Town, to open the Arbor Area gate for them.

When the duo meets Krookodile in Cove Town, he requests them to bring him Audino first, and then challenges them to a battle. With the two favors done, he then opens the Arbor Area gate for them and also teaches them how to call friends for help. When the duo wants to go to the Crag Area with Snivy joining them, he opens the Crag Area gate for them. When the gang wants to go to the Tech Area with Tepig joining them, he opens the Tech Area gate for them.

Much later, the gang goes to Seasong Beach to request Timburr to help them solve a problem in the Tech Area, and Samurott to give them specific materials to fix the problem. They then notice the Dark Vortex is slowly getting bigger, and Samurott beg the gang to complete their mission.

After Darkrai erases memories of Oshawott, Snivy and Tepig, and sends Pikachu into a nightmare, Pikachu finds himself back in Cove Town all alone, but Piplup, who found a way to escape Wish Park, finds him and snap him out of his nightmare. He then recommends Pikachu to try finding his Pals and restore their memories while he goes off to do something important. When Pikachu goes to Seasong Beach to meet the amnesiac Oshawott, they both have a battle, which restores Oshawott's memory.

After both the PokéPark and Wish Park are saved, the gang and Piplup return to Cove Town to ponder what to do next. Tepig suggests going to the battle tournament, which has started up again, and Snivy suggests going to Wish Park, where is being rebuilt, while Piplup wants to explore the PokéPark before leaving the gang. The others then let Pikachu choose.

When the gang begins to find a way to save Darkrai from the Dark Vortex and decides to ask the Area Keepers for help, Samurott determines that Reshiram and Zekrom are the only ones capable of saving Darkrai and reveals that the secret to meeting them has been passed down in the Arbor Area and the Crag Area. Later, he reveals that Tornadus can be summoned at a special shrine with a chant. The gang then finds the shrine and use the chant to summon Tornadus, who agrees to lend his power if he is beaten in a chase game.
