The Pokémon Center’s latest merch collection is themed around fleeing Pokémon

A new line of merchandise is set to be released by the official Pokémon Center, centered around Pokémon “fleeing” or “escaping.”
The new collection is centered on the various ways that Pokémon flee/escape in the world of the games and features a variety of clever and charming items that bring these moments to life.

A key highlight is a plush key case that is designed to look like the Pokémon Snorlax using its iconic “Block” move to prevent a Pikachu from passing.

Another unique item is a “Run Away” Eevee pull-back plush toy, which will run away when pulled back, and a plush backpack of the Pokémon Bewear, which appears to be hugging a Ditto and not letting it escape.
