During the events of the film, an amnesiac Pikachu was recognized by Sebastian and immediately he stormed towards Tim Goodman (Harry's son) and demanded a rematch between his Charizard and Harry's Pikachu. Tim then explained that the two were investigating the R chemical and wanted to know where it came from, Sebastian promised to tell Tim everything he knew on the condition that the rematch took place.

During the rematch Pikachu forgot all of his signature moves and was left attempting to escape Charizard's wrath. This got to a point in which Tim decided to step in and break up the fight, seeing this Sebastian warned Tim to leave the arena otherwise he could be killed to which the latter didn't listen. Sebastian then stepped in and walked towards the commotion. In the ensuing chaos Tim tackled Sebastian to the ground in turn accidentally smashing all of the vials of R he had in his coat's interior pockets spreading the chemical across all of the Pokemon in the arena. Tim demanded to know about the R with Sebastian replying that all he knew was that the Doctor had made it, he then broke free of Tim's hold and fled the scene.
