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 tomboy mermaid appears in today's broadcast!

Satoshi and Pikachu come to the beach. While playing with Pikachu and other Pokémon at the beach, a wild Udeppou comes out of the water! Satoshi likes Udeppou, which battles with Satoshi's Pokémon, and he is about to get it. However, a voice says, "Wait!"

▲ Satoshi decides to get Udeppou when he sees that it's strong enough to push his Heigani out of the way by force.

pic

▲ But someone stops Satoshi! The lure looks very familiar to...... the nostalgic "Kasumi Special"!

Enter Kasumi, his former traveling companion! Kasumi insists that she is the one to get Udeppou. Satoshi and Kasumi, unable to give in to each other, decide to settle their differences in a fishing contest!

pic

▲ Kasumi appears! She was watching the Masters Tournament from afar, but she hasn't seen Satoshi since the Alola Region!

pic

▲ Kasumi said that after watching Satoshi's battle, she couldn't sit around and set out on a journey again.

pic

▲ The first one to catch a Udeppou wins! The fishing duel starts with the winner able to get it!

pic

▲ However, there is more to it than just a fishing showdown……!?

We've seen something like this before...... If you think you've seen this before, you're a big Anipoke fan! This is actually not the first time Satoshi and Kasumi have faced off over Pokémon.

▲ It's grinning at Satoshi's nostalgic "Fishing Sommelier" lure.

The story goes back to the time when they were traveling in the Jouto region. When Satoshi and Kasumi encountered a wild Waninoko, they both threw a lure ball at the same time to get it. However, both claimed that it was their ball that got it, so they settled the matter with a Pokémon competition, and the Waninoko became Satoshi's Pokemon! It's nice to see these two people never change!

pic

▲ As a reminder of that story, Satoshi's Waninoko made an appearance in this episode!

Don't miss the lure ball, as it only appears for a moment! Discover new things and meet new people! Or, go back to the old days and enjoy the feelings of the past! The latest episode of Anipoke starts today at 6:55 pm!
