A Super-Electromagnetic Hyper Class Battle!

It's been a long time since I've played Denji, so when I got the call, I felt nostalgic and also very happy that I could play the role again! Satoshi and Gym Leader Denji's first battle in the TV animation "Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl" couldn't be finished and they ended up having two Gym Battles. This time, they are both going to fight each other as challengers in the Pokémon World Championships, so I was really looking forward to the recording to see how I could make the battle more exciting.

Normally, Denji is calm and collected, but when it comes to battles, he is as enthusiastic and energetic as Satoshi. I'm sure we are able to show you all a Pokémon battle that is uniquely Denji, so please look forward to it!

Hiroshi Nojima as Denji

デンジは僕自身もとても久しぶりで、お話を頂いた時は懐かしさとともに、「また演じられるんだ！」という嬉しさを強烈に感じました。テレビアニメ「ポケットモンスター ダイヤモンド・パール」でジムリーダーとして初めてサトシとバトルした時は、実は最後まで戦う事ができず、ジム戦を計2回行っています。今回はお互いポケモンワールドチャンピオンシップスのチャレンジャーとしてがっつり戦えるということで、どうバトルを盛り上げるか演者としてもとても楽しみにしながらアフレコに臨みました。

普段は落ち着きのあるデンジですが、バトルとなると熱意も勢いもサトシに負けていません。デンジらしいポケモンバトルを皆さんにお見せできると思いますので、どうぞ楽しみにしていてください！

The first appearance in 11 years! The most powerful gym leader in the Sinnoh region, Denji, has a Super-Electromagnetic Hyper Class Battle!

Denji is the Gym Leader of Nagisa City Gym, whom Satoshi once fought a fierce battle against when he was traveling through the Sinnoh region!
▲デンジは、かつてサトシがシンオウ地方を旅していたときに激闘を繰り広げた、ナギサシティのジムリーダーだ！

▲ Satoshi shows Denji his Z-Ring. Satoshi's become much stronger since that fierce battle in the past! Denji has become stronger for sure too!
▲デンジにZリングを見せるサトシ。かつての激闘からサトシは、はるかに強くなっている！　そして、きっとそれはデンジも同じ！

Speaking of Denji, it's his Rentorar! A powerful electric-type Pokémon stands in the way of Satoshi and his Pokémon!
▲デンジといえばレントラー！強力なでんきタイプのポケモンがサトシたちの前に立ちはだかる！

The strong opponent, Electivire, is still around! In a past battle, its Motor Drive Ability made Pikachu's electric-type moves ineffective, and Satoshi didn't do well.
▲強敵・エレキブルも健在！　かつてのバトルでは特性「でんきエンジン」で、ピカチュウのでんきタイプのわざが効かず、サトシを苦しめた。

Denji third Pokémon is a Spin Rotom, a Pokémon that never showed up in a battle before! Its strength is...!
▲デンジ3匹目のポケモンは、かつてのバトルでは見せなかったスピンロトムだ！　その強さは…!?

Is this Electric Terrain which increases the power of Electric type moves!? If Denji deployed it, won't Satoshi inevitably have a hard time!?
▲これはでんきタイプのわざ威力が高まる「エレキフィールド」か!? これをデンジに展開されたら、サトシは苦戦必至!?

Satoshi and Pikachu greet each other Fully Powered. What will be the result of their first Hyper Class battle!?
▲ゼンリョクで迎え撃つサトシとピカチュウ。ハイパークラスのバトル初戦の結果はいかに!?
