Detective Pikachu recently made its way into theatres across the world. This highly anticipated
Pokemon film sees Ryan Reynolds and Justice Smith star as Detective Pikachu and Tim Goodman respectively. The two become partners, with Tim somehow able to understand Pikachu, to uncover what happened to Tim's missing father.
Lucy Stevens is also along for the journey, actively trying to solve the same mystery in order to become something in the media industry. The actress who plays Lucy, Kathryn Newton, recently spoke with
Comicbook.com about her character's personality, love for Pokemon, and how she imagines Lucy first came across Psyduck (her own Pokemon companion).
"I see them meeting in the middle of field on a beautiful spring morning with flowers, and there's Pokemon fairies around. The two look at each other and say, 'I choose you'. She just loves Pokemon. As much as she's so energetic, she's a go-getter and a fear-less young girl, I hope you can feel her warmth and her love of Pokemon."
Synopsis: Ace detective Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son, Tim, to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry's former Pokémon partner, wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth Detective Pikachu. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to work together, as Tim is the only human who can talk with Pikachu, they join forces to unravel the tangled mystery.
