The Pokemon Company released the first of a new series of shorts featuring a mix between live action and CGI, titled "A Camping Trip with Pokemon."
The video, which you could almpsyt define as an ASMR (it's that relaxing) is titled "Refreshing! This Muscat Cake is Bursting with Fragrance."
It's the first three shorts that will serve as a follow-up of the popular series Sweet Winter With Pokemon, which received nearly 100 million views on YouTube in 2022.
The protagonists are the same group of Pokemon (albeit Charmander has evolved into Charmeleon) living with a man who loves cooking with them.
The concept is also similar, as we hey to see the protagonist prepare the titular Muscat cake and more sweets for his pokemon friends.
Extra-sweet (literally) scenes include the adorable critters roasting marshmallows on Charmeleon's tail, and a wild Sprigatito appearing at the end, drawn by the sweet scent.
You can watch it below, and go "aww" as the super-cute CGI versions of Pikachu, Charmeleon, Psyduck, Jigglypuff, and Sprigatito.
Update 10/18/2023: the second episode has been released and it's as cute as the first, yet it moves from sweet to delightfully cheesy.
The short was created by Chinese animation company Eclipse.

The latest spin-off Detective Pikachu Returns has also been released just a few days ago for Nintendo Switch, bringing back the grumpiest Pikachu with the soul of a coffee-addicted old man, which makes him even more adorable.
