Ed Sheeran makes a surprise appearance at the Pokémon World Championships, performing at the closing ceremony. Multiple outlets report that he opens the ceremony with “Celestial” and then plays an acoustic version of the original Pokémon anime theme.
Both reports describe the performance as an impromptu moment tied to Sheeran’s well-known interest in Pokémon. Eurogamer adds that the acoustic song is the original theme tune from the Pokémon TV show, while also noting “Celestial” as part of the set. Metro focuses more directly on viewers watching Sheeran sing the Pokémon television theme.
Overall, the outlets agree on the setting, the surprise nature of the appearance, and the two featured songs: an acoustic rendition of the classic Pokémon anime theme and Sheeran’s “Celestial” during the ceremony. No further details on the broader program or audience reactions are provided in the shared extracts.
