Tim arrives in Ryme City to look for his father, Harry Goodman, who had disappeared two months prior. After encountering a wild Aipom, he meets Detective Pikachu, a Pikachu who speaks like a human. However, no one else seems to be able to understand him. He teams up with Pikachu to retrieve a necklace that {{p|Aipom}} stole from a little girl.
After retrieving the necklace, Detective Pikachu brings Tim to the [[Baker Detective Agency]], where his father used to consult. Tim asks the head of the agency, [[Mike Baker]], about his dad's disappearance, but all Mr. Baker will say is that Harry got into a car accident while investigating a case involving Pokémon. Tim decides to go to his father's apartment to look for more clues, and Pikachu tags along - after all, he wants to find Harry, too. At the apartment, they find a map marking all the locations Tim's father had been investigating and decide to visit one of them - a place called [[Litwick Cave]].


After they successfully retrieve the necklace, Detective Pikachu brings Tim to the Baker Detective Agency, where his father used to consult. Tim asks the head of the agency, Mike Baker, about his dad's disappearance, but all Mr. Baker will say is that he got into a car accident while investigating a case involving Pokémon. Tim decides to go to his father's apartment to look for more clues.
In the cave, they meet [[Meiko Okamoto]] and [[Emilia Christie]], two women who work for the news station [[GNN]]. The pair are being attacked by a wild {{p|Glalie}}, and Tim and Pikachu work together to drive the Glalie away. Unfortunately, the entrance to the cave collapses in the ruckus, forcing them to look for another way out. With the help of a wild {{p|Drifblim}}, Tim and the others manage to escape the cave.
 
After escaping, Pikachu reveals that he found a vial on the floor of the cave that might be connected to the case somehow. Tim and Pikachu decide they need to figure out where it came from. They decide to investigate [[PCL]], the research facility that it seemed Harry had been visiting before the accident. Tim gets a part-time job as an assistant at PCL, using the pseudoynm '''Tim Ottman''', so he and Pikachu can investigate the facility. They eventually find the same type of vial that Pikachu found in the cave, confirming that it came from someone at this facility. While trying to determine who exactly the vial came from, they discover that it was being used as a container for a substance called [[R]] that causes Pokémon to go berserk when ingested. They learn that the researcher who was making R, [[Carlos Hernando]], worked for the man who had Harry's car tampered with because he knew too much, which caused the car accident. Carlos is arrested, but they know that there's still someone out there who bought R from Carlos and caused Harry to go missing.
