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! One of the Kalos Region's Elite Four makes their first Anipoke appearance!


Satoshi and Kamonegi have been training every day to become stronger since their defeat by Ellade. It seems that the "House of Chivalry" in the Kalos region is recruiting trainers who are looking for their true strength. A Kalos region Elite Four member, Gampi, will be there to give a passionate lesson!　Satoshi is looking for a place where he can train Kamonegi, so he and Go head to the Kalos region right away!


▲ Satoshi takes Kamonegi and Go takes Strike and knocks on the door of the House of Chivalry in the Kalos region!

When the gates of the House of Chivalry are opened, Gampi appears before Satoshi and his friends!　Gampi's passionate instruction begins immediately!　

...But first, he gets them to wear this. So not only the Pokémon, but also Satoshi and Go change into their knight's armor (why?) and start training! Let the training begin!


▲ He sheds tears for the youth who seek true strength. He is a passionate man who always wears the armor of a knight!


▲ The reason why trainers also wear armor will become clear as soon as the training begins! Gampi says.

The goal of the House of Chivalry is for Trainers and Pokémon to overcome three trials together. The trainers who overcome the trials and reach the roof of the castle will receive an award... What are the three trials that await the trainers at the House of Chivalry!?


▲ A knight should be stronger than anyone else! The first trial is to refine and sharpen oneself!


▲ The knight should be braver than anyone else!! In the second training trial, they to the "Labyrinth of Anxiety"!?


The final training trial is a battle! Gampi and Satoshi are going to directly cross blades...!?
