Summary

Japanese Summary:

記憶喪失の少年・ヒロに駆け寄るヒノアラシとエイパム。
2匹は自分の手持ちらしいが、覚えていないヒロは戸惑うばかり......。
寂しげなポケモンたちを気にしながら、手作りのバッジを握りしめて自室に入ると、窓の外にはヤミカラスが。
何も思い出せないヒロが慌てて追い払い部屋を見渡すと、ヒノアラシたちとヒロが映った大量の写真。
「君たちのこと、早く思い出したいんだけど......。」
その夜、急な胸騒ぎを覚えて森に入ったヒロたちは、傷だらけのヤミカラスと秘密基地を見つける。
ヤミカラスの首にはヒロと同じ手作りのバッジがぶら下がっていて......。

Japanese Summary Translation:

Hinoarashi and Eipam run up to Hiro, a boy who has lost his memory.
It seems that the two are his own Pokémon, but Hiro doesn't remember them and is confused...
Worried about the lonely-looking Pokémon, Hiro enters his room clutching his handmade badge, and sees a Yamikarasu outside the window.
Not being able to remember anything, Hiro hastily chases it away and looks around the room, where he sees a pile of photos of himself with the Hinoarashi.
"I want to remember you guys as soon as possible..."
That night, feeling a sudden sense of foreboding, Hiro and his friends go into the forest, where they find the Yamikarasu wounded and his secret base.
Hanging around Yamikarasu's neck is a handmade badge that Hiro made...

Eve『Midnight Runway』
公開に寄せて、Eveさん（@oO0Eve0Oo）からコメントが到着しました

The first time I encountered Yamikarasu was in the grass around Tamamushi City at night. Thanks to the clock function built into Pocket Monsters Gold and Silver, it had a special feel as that Pokémon would only appears at night. At the time, it hadn't evolved yet, and I had a hard time battling with it, but I liked its appearance, so I kept it and took it with me on my adventures.
When I found out that my favorite Yamikarasu would be featured at the center of the story for this episode, my heart was filled with excitement. Other memorable Pokémon from Pocket Monsters Gold and Silver also make appearances, bringing back fun memories. I hope you will also enjoy the music that plays in this episode.

初めてヤミカラスと出会ったのは、夜のタマムシシティ周辺の草むらでした。 『ポケットモンスター金・銀』で組み込まれた時計機能のおかげで「夜にしか 出ないポケモン」という特別感があり、当時まだ進化はせず、戦闘には苦戦 しましたが、見た目が好みで手持ちに入れて冒険に連れていっていました。
今回、そんな僕のお気に入りだったヤミカラスが物語の中心にフィーチャー されると知り、胸が熱くなりました。他にも｢ポケモン金・銀｣の思い出深い ポケモンたちが登場し、懐かしさが込み上げてきます。物語とともに流れる 音楽も、ぜひよろしくお願いします。
