In today’s episode of the new Pokemon anime, Ash and Gou met Mr. Mime for the very first time.
While everything seemed fine, things took a dark turn when we start to encounter a few terrifying scenes of Mr. Mime, who usually looks like a cute and harmless Pokemon.
In the first scene Mr. Mime looks back at Ash with this horrifying facial expression:

Later it strikes again with this scary expression in the credits:

Some Pokemon fans believe this is in reference to Mr. Mime’s appearance in the Pokemon Detective Pikachu live-action movie:
