(Japanese: 【公式】『ポケットモンスターブラック２・ホワイト２』紹介SPムービー (Official) Pocket Monsters Black 2 and White 2 Special Introduction Movie) is a special trailer made to promote the release of Black 2 and White 2. Officially revealed to the public on May 17, 2012 (JST) on the "Pokémon YouTube Channel", it was originally leaked a day before on the same channel.

Synopsis

A thick fog appears, and a faded silhouette begins to walk towards the camera. As the figure gets closer, it is revealed to be N, who stops and asks which path the player will travel, as an unseen Pokémon flies overhead and roars. The titles for Black 2 and White 2 appear on the screen and the scene changes to a flock of Swanna flying over Aspertia City. The male protagonist and his rival are seen running through the city, on their way to collect their first Pokémon. They climb the flight of stairs to the look out where they meet Bianca. She's relieved to see them and presents them with their choice of Poké Balls containing their Starter Pokémon. The male protagonist stares at Tepig's ball confidently as it gleams in the sunlight.

The protagonist is then shown with Akuroma in the Castelia City square, where Akuroma explains how Team Plasma sought to liberate Pokémon from their trainers and that he believes differently.

The protagonist then appears walking into a gym with his Emboar by his side, and Elesa is shown waiting for him on a stage. She questions whether his Pokémon, or her own Pokémon will prevail, which angers Emboar. She then throws off her coat and challenges him to a match, as fireworks are set off around her.

Some Wingull are shown flying over a ship, where the protagonist, his rival, and Cheren are shown surrounded by Team Plasma members. The leader of the group of Plasma grunts praises their progress, and invites them to forfeit for being outnumbered. The rival states that he's getting angered by Team Plasma, and Cheren remarks that he's annoyed at the villain's cockiness. The rival places his hand on the protagonist's shoulder and asks to lend him his power. The Plasma leader then orders her Seviper to use Bite, and the protagonist reacts by having his Arcanine use Bite as well. Arcanine leaps into the air and bites down on Seviper's neck, and then tosses it into the air. The rival then has his Samurott use Ice Beam on Seviper, causing a mist to cover the ship.

The scene transitions to show one of the Shadow Triad leaping across rooftops in a frozen town as the protagonist chases after him from the ground with his Lucario. The Shadow Triad member then leaps on top of a large pillar of ice, and the protagonist orders Lucario to use Aura Sphere. The Shadow Triad member then stands up unharmed, and the other two members appear from above as well with a Bisharp. He holds up an artifact and tells the protagonist that his efforts are futile, and that nothing will stop them from achieving their ambitions, and they disappear.

Black Kyurem is then shown launching an Electric attack, and White Kyurem is shown performing a Fire attack. The two Pokémon fly towards each other, and transition into the boxart covers for Black 2 and White 2, and the screen fades.
