In the special "Pocket Monster Crystal: Raikou Ikazuchi no Densetsu," Shinji does not appear. The narrative centers on Jimmy, Marina, Vincent, and Eusine, drawn into conflict when Team Rocket agents Attila and Hun pursue the legendary Pokémon Raikou with an electricity-controlling crystal. Jimmy, a trainer wielding Typhlosion, first clashes with Marina at a Pokémon Center before uniting against Team Rocket. Marina commands Misdreavus and Croconaw, deploying tactics such as Perish Song during the struggle. Vincent is identified as Marina's boyfriend, while Eusine emerges later to relay Raikou's lore and the chronicle of past human efforts to capture it.
