I mean, is anyone actually surprised by this?
After all, Pikachu is one of Japan’s official mascots for the World Cup (10 other Pokemon are also official mascots of Japan’s team).
It would have been rude to fly to Brazil in any other fashion.

No word if the Japanese team will be introduced to the Pokemon theme song but I’m holding out hope.
