From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
The Pikachu World is a special card collection for the Pokémon Trading Card Game and was released in conjunction with the Japanese release of Clash at the Summit. Originally released in Japan on July 8, 2010, it features nine unique cards of Pikachu in nine different languages: English, Italian, Korean, Spanish, Japanese, German, French, Polish and Portuguese. An international set was released in November, 2010. It included the same cards, with the only difference being the back of the cards.
There are two variants of this Japanese 2010 Pikachu World Collection, the ‘Blue’ and ‘Green’. The blue variant was available in the Pokécenters and the green variant was exclusive to 7-ll stores in Japan only. The cards themselves are identical, except for the fifth, Japanese Pikachu, card which featured a green background if it was from the green collection. Due to the rarity of the 7-ll exclusive set, this Pikachu World Collection is very expensive as a sealed product today.
Trivia
This is the second set of its kind to be released in Japan. The previous set was released ten years prior and includes cards written in seven of the same languages (In the 2000 set, Chinese and Dutch replace Polish and Japanese). However, rather than being nine prints of the same card with different artwork, the previous set included nine reprints of earlier Pikachu cards. It also featured a gold Pikachu tail stamp to the left of the Pokédex info.
