PM103 Press Release - VS Elite Four 1 Hour Battle Special (VS四天王1時間バトルスペシャル)
On March 12th, 2022, The Pokémon Company published a
press release for the
VS Elite Four 1 Hour Battle Special (VS四天王1時間バトルスペシャル) which aired on Friday, April 1st, 2022 at 6:55pm on TV Tokyo. It was a special to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the anime originally airing on April 1st, 1997. The official PokéAni Twitter account also
posted the comments from
Yuki Kaji and
Mariya Ise who reprised their roles as
Citron and
Eureka.
Mariya Ise, voice of Eureka:
It made me really happy I got to meet Satoshi's voice actress Rica Matsumoto and all the other people that took care of me back in the days of the "Pocket Monsters XY" series, and getting to play Eureka again made me the happiest of all. Unfortunately I didn't get to record alongside Yuki Kaji, who plays Eureka's brother Citron, but since we spent about three years together in this dubbing studio, I could still hear his voice in my head when I read the script, so I was able to record my lines while being pretty sure how Kaji-kun would deliver his.
If you're new to the Pokémon anime, I hope you'll come to love the innocent angel Eureka who loves to care for Pokémon, and I also hope you'll watch the "Pocket Monsters XY" series as well.
Eureka is a girl who's too young to be a Pokémon Trainer yet, which I think viewers close to her in age will be able to empathize with. The sibling interaction between her and Citron is really charming as well, so I really hope you'll get the opportunity to watch the "Pocket Monsters XY" series in addition to this episode!

【ユリーカ役 伊瀬茉莉也さん】
サトシ役の松本梨香さんをはじめ、テレビアニメ「ポケットモンスターXY」シリーズの時にお世話になった方々にお会いできて嬉しかったですし、何より、またユリーカを演じられることが凄く嬉しかったです。
残念ながらユリーカの兄・シトロン役の梶くんとは一緒に収録はできなかったのですが、アフレコ現場で約3年間を一緒に過ごしてきたので、台本を読んだ時に自然と脳内に梶くんの声が聞こえてきて。きっとこういう風にお芝居するかな…?と想像しながら収録に臨めました。
今回から初めて「アニポケ」をご覧になる方は、天真爛漫でポケモンのお世話が大好きなユリーカの事を好きになって貰えたら嬉しいですし、ぜひテレビアニメ「ポケットモンスターXY」シリーズも観て頂けると良いなと思います。
彼女は年齢的に、まだポケモントレーナーになれない女の子です。見てくださっている方の中にも、ユリーカと近い年齢の子は感情移入して頂けると思いますし、シトロンとユリーカの兄妹のやりとりも魅力的なので、ぜひ、今回の放送とあわせて「ポケットモンスターXY」シリーズもご覧になって頂けたらなと思います!
25th Anniversary Anipoke Message
On April 1st, 2022, Eureka's Japanese voice actress
Mariya Ise retweeted an official Anipoke tweet with a
message sort of in-character as Eureka. Unfortunately, many non-Japanese Twitter users using automatic translation thought that she meant that Serena would be coming back to the series soon which made her
post a follow up
messages in English. Most of the supposition was fueled by a Sylveon being showcased in a preview and fans thought it was
Serena's Sylveon. Mariya Ise was also not doing this as an April Fools day joke and it was purely due to fans propagating poor automated translations.
I never thought I would see Citron and Eureka in the Anipoke again...!
The recording sessions were just as intense and nostalgic as the Pokémon battles!
Satoshi, come visit the Kalos region again some time. And bring Serena with you next time, okay?
Congratulations Anipoke on the 25th Anniversary
また、アニポケ でシトロンとユリーカが見られる日がくるとは…!
アフレコ現場もポケモンバトルさながらの熱量で懐かしかったです!
サトシーー!!またカロス地方に遊びに来てねーー!!
次はセレナも…ね
アニポケ25周年
本当におめでとうございます
Sorry guys!
As for my last tweet, I meant that I hope to see Serena again sometime in the future.
I wanted to apologize as my tweet might have caused false expectation.
I hope to see the day when Clemont, Bonnie and Serena can meet up again in the Pokémon anime world!
Sorry guys! I just tweeted "next time with Serena" but I meant that I hope to see her again sometime in the future. I wanted to apologize as my tweet might have caused false expectation. It would be amazing if Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena can meet up again in the Pokémon anime world! I hope that day will come!
ごめん、みんな!
さっきのツイートの「次はセレナもね」っていうのは今回のお話にはセレナが出てこなかったから、いつかまたセレナにも会えたらいいなっていう、私の個人的な想いなの。期待させてしまってたら謝りたいなって思って。もしまたみんなで集まれたら最高だよね!そんな日が来たらいいな!
