The Pokemon team visited Apple Park on their way to the Pokemon World Championship starting on August 28 in San Francisco, giving Pikachu a chance to explore and meet the next CEO of Apple.

A social media post from Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed Pikachu was set loose in Apple Park. Incoming CEO John Ternus and Pokemon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara helped Tim keep an eye on Pikachu as he explored.

While the Pokemon Company didn't share why they were at Apple Park, the visit could involve discussions about the future of Pokemon on Apple platforms. Apple hosts several games on the App Store including Pokemon Go, Pokemon TCG Pocket, Pokemon Champions, and Pokemon Sleep. Tim Cook is known for his trips to Japan and has met Pikachu before while celebrating Apple Ginza opening. The Pokemon Trading Card Game World Championships are being held from August 28-30.
