The gong of destiny! Challenger Roy & Lucario's Rematch!!

Broadcasting every week from 6:55 pm! The anime "Pocket Monsters" will start airing soon! 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!


Last time, Roy received a new Mega Stone Lucarioite Z from Master Mayonnais. Roy had high hopes for Lucario's newfound power, but he was unable to master this new Mega Evolution during his battle with his master and ended up losing.

Frustrated, Lucario throws itself into intense training, but Roy makes a surprising proposal to him...?


▲ Liko and her friends visited Liko’s grandmother Diana at her old castle.


▲ Diana's Momowarou is a Poison Tera type Pokémon that Liko and the others are looking for, so maybe she'll lend them a hand!?


▲ Lucario is getting frustrated because it can't learn the new Mega Evolution.

So, Roy and Lucario are set to face Master Mayonnaise’s Luchabull once again! After their defeat last time, the Master told them, "You won’t be able to evolve into Mega Lucario if you keep using Wave Guidance the same way you always have." So, what new way of using Wave Guidance have Roy and Lucario discovered...?

Will Roy and Lucario be able to achieve this new Mega Evolution!? ...The gong of destiny is about to sound!!


▲ The rematch against Master Mayonnaise is about to begin on the special ring set up at Diana's Old Castle!


▲ Last time, Lucario let Mega Luchabull's taunts throw it off its game. What will happen this time!?


▲ And finally, the moment has come……!!


▲ Is this Mega Lucario Z!? How powerful is it…...!?

Tune in to today’s Pokémon anime for the next round of the intense battle! The gong of destiny rings tonight at 6:55 PM!!
