Summary

Japanese Summary:

リコたちは海のディグダまんを並ばず手に入れる。一方エクスプローラーズのある人物もその銘菓を求め並んでいた。船に戻る途中ホゲータの背中に果たし状が貼られていて…!?

行列に並ばなければ手に入らない、1日30箱限定の銘菓「海のディグダまん」。リコとロイは、店長を助けたお礼として「海のディグダまん」を並ばず手に入れる。一方、エクスプローラーズのある人物も「海のディグダまん」を求め店に並んでいた…。ブレイブアサギ号に戻る途中、ロイはホゲータの背中に果たし状が貼られていることに気がついて…!?

Japanese Summary Translation:

Liko and Roy are given some Sea Digdaman even without having to stand in line. A certain person from the Explorers was in line for them as well, though. And as they're on their way back to the airship, a letter of challenge has been stuck to Hogator's back...?!

Only 30 boxes of the famous treat "Sea Digdaman" are sold every day, and you have to stand in line for them too. However, as a thank you for helping the store manager, Liko and Roy are given some even without having to get in line. A certain person from the Explorers was in line for the treats as well, though... and as they're on their way back to the Brave Asagi, Roy notices a letter of challenge that has been stuck to Hogator's back...?!

Note

It has been announced that Terastal Debut, the new chapter of the popular anime Pocket Monsters airs on the TV Tokyo Network every Friday at 6:55pm, officially abbreviated "Anipoke", will start airing April 12th, 2024. The main visual that's been presented depicts Orange Academy from the video game Pocket Monsters Scarlet, with Roy and Dot wearing Orange Academy uniforms. And for some reason Liko's Nyahoja is nowhere to be seen...

They're all surrounded by Elite Four members Aoki, Chili, Poppy and Hassaku, popular characters from the video games, as well as Nemo and Gym Leaders Colza and Nanjamo, who have all appeared in earlier episodes.

This new chapter will depict Liko, Roy and the others' Terastal Debut, as well as show how they'll interact with the popular characters from the video games now that they've decided to study on exchange at Orange Academy for Terastal training.

Then there is Explorer's Sango, who said in today's broadcast that she would "summon" Rayquaza. In the video released today, we can see the Explorers plotting as well as the Black Rayquaza. The climactic episode of Terapagos' Shine is also a must-see before the new chapter!

A special Pokémon anime trailer has also been released! The "Terapagos' Shine" chapter is hitting its climax! What is the Explorers' Plan for Capturing Rayquaza? Will Liko and Roy be able to stop it? ...And then it's on to an all new chapter!

2024-03-22 PM2023 44: The Plan for Capturing Rayquaza

image

The words Sango from the Explorers passed on were "summon Rayquaza". Friede pinpoints the island where the Explorers' hideout is located based on the clues he has, and he, Liko, Roy and Randou head there. However, they're met with a trap set by Spinel! Will Liko and the others be able to stop the Explorers' Plan for Capturing Rayquaza?

2024-03-29 PM2023 45: To Places Far Far Away

image

The Explorers' plan has led to the Black Rayquaza finally showing itself, and Liko and Roy get completely overwhelmed in the face of its incredible power! However, if they're going to get through to it and communicate how Terapagos, and they themselves, feel... it's now or never! It's time for a battle against Rayquaza where the two of them throw absolutely everything at it; All the encounters they've had and all the experience they've gained since they set off on their adventure with Pokémon!!

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 information you won't find anywhere else!

The Rising Volt Tackler's have come to the Paldea region in pursuit of the remaining three Six Hero Pokémon and also the mystery of Terapagos. Today, everyone is at a beach town for a little shopping time! Then Liko sees a mysterious line queue in the town. At the end of the line is the famous confectionary, "Sea Digdaman", which is limited to 30 boxes a day!

pic

▲ They came across a store with a huge line queue even though it had not opened yet! What is the line for!?

pic

▲ According to Friede and Roy, who are standing in line (and not shopping), they are there to buy the famous confectionery "Sea Digdaman".

pic

▲ It is a legendary confectionery limited to 30 boxes a day! ...it seems like Hogator would like to eat them too!

Liko and Roy leave the store without the legendary confectionery and head out to do some shopping. Then they see an old man in trouble in the middle of the street! Liko and Roy help him out, and to their surprise, this man is the manager of the Digdaman store...... that they just visited! The manager takes out a box and gives it to them as a thank you for helping him out. Liko and Roy end up getting the "Sea Digdaman" without standing in line!

pic

▲ An old man with a scary face. An unusual expression......!?

Meanwhile, someone from the Explorers was also visiting this beach town at the same time as the Rising Volt Tacklers. They seem to be on an important mission......!? And things take an unexpected turn!?

pic

▲ They are disguised in sunglasses and a hat, but is this Sango of the Explorers!?

pic

▲ No, they're in line too?! Oh, you mean the important mission is Digdaman!!?

pic

▲ Roy then notices a mysterious piece of paper on Hogator's back. It's...... a letter of challenge!?

pic

▲ When they went to the place written on the letter of challenge, they found someone waiting there......!?

An unexpected fierce battle over Sea Digdaman!? It will continued on Anipoke at 6:55 today!!

Liko and Roy are given some Sea Digdaman even without having to stand in line. A certain person from the Explorers was in line for them as well, though. And as they're on their way back to the airship, a letter of challenge has been stuck to Hogator's back...?!

Summary:
Only 30 boxes of the famous treat "Sea Digdaman" are sold every day, and you have to stand in line for them too. However, as a thank you for helping the store manager, Liko and Roy are given some even without having to get in line. A certain person from the Explorers was in line for the treats as well, though... and as they're on their way back to the Brave Asagi, Roy notices a letter of challenge that has been stuck to Hogator's back...?!
