fans of all ages, to meet up with friends to catch, battle and trade Pokémon from their
favourite games. There will also be an opportunity to meet Susie, Chad, and Jeron during
the after show poster signing.

invitation to share our passion for Pokémon by reliving some of our fondest memories of
Pokémon. We look forward to seeing fans of all ages enjoying this very special Pokémon
orchestral event together."
