It's almost time for Anipoke! Darkrai and Cresselia finally clash...? The "Anipoke Summer Special" reaches its climax!!


The anime "Pocket Monsters" will start airing soon! It airs every Friday at 6:55 p.m. and it is very popular! In this article, we'll introduce you to the Pokémon and characters that will appear in today's episode, as well as comments from the voice actors and director, and other Anipoke information you won't find anywhere else! The summer special that started last week comes to an end today!　Two Pokémon finally meet, and a battle of Legendary vs. Mythical Pokémon breaks out...?


Now here's a 10-second synopsis for those of you who haven't seen last week's episode yet! "Satoshi and Go learn that people in the Sinnoh region are unable to sleep due to nightmares, so they head there to research whether or not this is the work of Darkrai, a Pokémon with the ability to give others nightmares, but...?! Meanwhile Koharu has gone to the Sinnoh region on her own, and believe it or not, she encounters Satoshi's former travelmates Hikari and Pochama there!"

Now that everyone is up to date, we'll introduce the highlights of today's broadcast! Koharu and Hikari find a wounded Cresselia in the forest. Cresselia, who has been hurt by someone, seems to be wary and upset, but the two manage to treat its wound.


▲ Cresselia is covered in scars all over its body. Isn't it possible that these wounds are the work of Darkrai...!?


▲ Remembering the words of her father, Professor Sakuragi, Koharu tries to communicate with the Pokémon.

That night, Koharu and Hikari fall asleep and have a strange dream. It was a dream in which Darkrai and Cresselia met in a town in the mist. In the dream, Cresselia seemed to be waking up the people of the town from their nightmares, who had been put to sleep by Darkrai. Cresselia's feathers are said to have the power to counteract nightmares, but...!


▲ Not only Koharu, but Hikari was also having the same dream about Darkrai and Cresselia. What is this...?

When the two wake up from their dream, Darkrai appears in front of them! The Mythical Pokémon and the Legendary Pokémon are on a collision course!


▲ Darkrai suddenly appeared out of the darkness of the night. Was it looking for Cresselia...?


▲ Will Koharu and Hikari be able to protect the injured Cresselia from Darkrai?

Meanwhile, Satoshi and Go and the others, who had been following Darkrai, have also come to the forest. And finally... Satoshi and Hikari are reunited!


▲ Go and Koharu don't know that Satoshi and Hikari were their traveling companions. These reunions are so exciting!

As if guided by fate, Darkrai and Cresselia encounter each other. And then there's Satoshi and Go, Koharu and Hikari, and even...the Rocket Gang!　Will the battle end the nightmares...or what?　The summer special finally comes to a climax!


▲ If Darkrai and Cresselia battle, Satoshi and his friends will be in for a lot of trouble!


▲ The Rocket Gang also appear! However, this airship doesn't seem to belong to Musashi and Kojiro!?
