Pokémon Anime Camera:
Do you remember the photo Uruto was showing to people on the street when he was searching for Roy back in episode 92 of the Pokémon anime? Here is that photo being taken! The Yellow Lucario is standing next to Roy... and it looks like Yamirami and Achigator had just been bickering again, doesn't it?

Roy and Uruto return to the Mayo-Maze Palace to face off against the Yellow Lucario that once defeated them with its overwhelming power. But waiting for them there is another suspicious pair of individuals!?


▲ One of the individuals that appeared before Roy and Uruto is Shouyu the Ninja, who attacks!


▲ The Pokémon unleashed by Shoyu the Ninja is Agilder!


▲ There's the other individual, Count Oyster! These two with their names and appearances somehow share a similar vibe to Master Mayonnaise.....!? Could there be some connection!?


▲ Count Oyster's Pokémon is Chevargo! Roy and Uruto are having a tough time against the combo of the offensive Agilder and the defensive Chevargo!?

Once again, the Yellow Lucario appeared before the two of them! Roy and Uruto challenge it to a battle while connecting with their Pokémon! Can they master the power of their bond through Mega Evolution in this battle!?


▲ In the previous battle, they were completely helpless against the Yellow Lucario. The nickname "Yellow Blast" is no joke!!


▲ Achigator's bond with Roy is rock solid. What will be the outcome of the battle against Lucario!?


▲ He feels like he'll find out what he is to Yamirami, if they battle now!! With that determination, they challenged it in battle, and finally...!?

I only participated in the 2c pre-explosion and explosion scenes. I was thinking that I couldn't draw Lucario well from that angle, but when I submitted my LO, what I wanted to draw was included in the revisions, and I was really moved.

爆発前と爆発カットの2cだけ参加させていただきました この角度のルカリオ上手く描けないなぁって思いながらLO出したら描きたかった物が修正でのってて感動してました
