The January issue of Shogakukan’s Corocoro Comic magazine is announcing on Saturday that the next Pokémon film is titled Pocket Monster XY: Hakai no Mayu (Pokémon XY: Cocoon of Destruction) and is slated for July 19, 2014.

According to the magazine and teaser, the first Pokémon XY film will feature Mega Evolution just like the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y 3DS games. The Legendary Pokémon Xerneas is spotted standing in a forest along with another Legendary Pokémon, Yvetal.
