Usain Bolt and Pikachu are in an ad together and Bolt's the bad guy
The fastest man in the world is now a member of the Pokémon squad.
Pokémon's latest ads, promoting its new video game series Sun and Moon, sees Usain Bolt starring alongside Pikachu.
Bolt, an eight-time Olympic gold medalist, is dressed as a member of Team Skull, an antagonist Pokémon gang.
"Even in a Pokemon battle, I'm number one," declares Bolt in the video, before instructing his Pikachu to use his Thunderbolt (geddit) attack.
Bolt is also seen striking his signature victory pose in the video.
The Jamaican athlete had earlier announced that he would be retiring from athletics in 2017.
So perhaps he'll have more time to spend perfecting those Pokémon moves.
