If you found yourself a bit perplexed by the ending and have questions that need answers, this article is here to guide you through the conclusion of the game. Please note that this article contains significant spoilers, so proceed with caution if you plan to play the game yourself.
Detective Pikachu's Identity Revealed
In the game, Detective Pikachu's true identity is unveiled during the "Memories of the Bamboo Forest." Pikachu experiences a flood of memories that aren't his own, which leads to questions about who he really is. These hints emerge earlier in the game, but it's in this critical moment that the truth starts to emerge.
Pikachu gradually begins sharing memories from both his and Harry's perspectives, indicating a deeper connection. The shocking revelation is that Pikachu survived a car crash that fatally wounded Harry. In desperation, Mewtwo intervened, offering to save Harry by implanting his consciousness inside Pikachu's body. This was supposed to be a temporary solution, but as time passed, Harry's consciousness grew stronger within Pikachu, causing Pikachu to fade. To maintain balance, Mewtwo erased their memories, preventing them from recalling the truth.
Murloch's Evil Plan Unveiled
Charles Merloch, the antagonist, hatches a sinister plan. He initially marketed Control-Cubes as "Friendship-Cubes" to Mayor Myers, but in reality, these devices were designed to control Pokémon rather than nurture them. What's even more diabolical is Merloch's desire to harness the combined consciousness of Pikachu and Tim for himself.
Merloch creates a machine that utilizes Pikachu and Tim's energy, along with energy from the Aurora Drop, to merge his consciousness with Deoxys. This plan works for a time until Mewtwo intervenes, engaging in a battle with Deoxys/Murloch. Tim manages to free Pikachu, dismantle the machine, and disrupt the energy balance keeping Deoxys and Murloch together. The experiment ultimately fails, returning Murloch's consciousness to his own body.
The Lab's Collapse and Harry's Fate
After Pikachu disrupts the experiment, the lab begins to crumble. Exhausted from using Thunderbolt, Pikachu is unable to reach the elevator, and the others evacuate without him. It appears that Harry and Pikachu's fate is uncertain, and the others fear the worst.
Shortly after the escape, Harry's capsule is launched from the lab with Harry, Pikachu, and Murloch inside. Their consciousnesses are restored to their rightful bodies, and everyone is safe. However, the specifics of how Harry and Pikachu were separated inside the lab remain unexplained.
Mewtwo's role in this crucial moment is hinted at but not officially confirmed. It's possible that Mewtwo played a part in their separation and safe escape.
