Magical Pokémon Journey (Japanese: ポケットモンスター ＰｉＰｉＰｉ★アドベンチャー Pocket Monsters PiPiPi ★ Adventures) is a ten-volume manga series by shōjo author Yumi Tsukirino. It was serialized in the shōjo magazine Ciao and then published in collected volumes by Shōgakukan in Japan. The first seven volumes were translated by VIZ Media for release in North America, and nine of the ten volumes have been translated by Chuang Yi in Singapore. The Chuang Yi version also uses the "Magical Pokémon Journey" name.
The story centers around a girl named Hazel who develops a crush on Almond, a Pokémon Trainer from whom she is constantly rebuffed. To receive a love potion from a scientist named Grandpa and thus gain Almond's affection, Hazel agrees to catch Pokémon for his research.
This series chronicles Hazel's attempts to make Almond like her, as well as her friendship with several Pokémon she meets — mainly Pikachu, Clefairy, and Jigglypuff (Pikachu, Pippi, and Purin, for whom the series was named) — and her rivalry with Grandpa's granddaughter, Coconut.
Although this manga is complete, Tsukirino is now writing another series set in the same world, entitled Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪.
Trivia
- The VIZ Media translation of Magical Pokémon Journey uses mirror-imaged artwork (read left-to-right), which was how manga was usually localized at the time it was published.
- Unlike most Pokémon canon, many Pokémon in Magical Pokémon Journey can speak human language.
- Ash, Misty, Brock and Ash's Pikachu make cameo appearances in bonus chapters.
