Shortly after, as Ed Sheeran prepares his breakfast, a Charmander burns it, accidentally causing a small fire that a Squirtle puts out.

Shortly after leaving his house, Ed Sheeran almost gets hit by a car, only for a Snorlax to come to his rescue, sending him and the car into the sky. While Machamp catches the car, Ed Sheeran soars over to a Lapras, who gives him a ride to a field where a group of Bulbasaur and an Eevee can be spotted. When he leaves, a Charizard flies over to Ed Sheeran, picks him up, and brings him back home, where he plays music as the Pokemon he ate breakfast with, as well as Mew, dance.

The three of them, along with the other Pokemon that were seen throughout the video, help each other in the battle with Mewtwo.
