Comment: I'm very happy that this is the 13th Pokémon film I've appeared in. So when I was offered a role again this year, it was actually more of a surprise to me. The Karen I play in this film is the mature woman I've always wanted to be! I want to challenge myself a lot with this new Pokémon movie from director Yajima. Please enjoy it!

カレン 「ビオトープ・カンパニー」の研究員でゼッド博士の助手 声｜中川翔子 Comment ポケモン映画には本作で13作目の出演となり嬉しいのですが、昨年は主題歌を歌わせてもらい、ポケモン映画として集大成的なことなのかな？と思っていたので、今年もオファーをもらった時は、実は驚きの方が大きかったです。本作で私が演じるカレンは、私からすると憧れの大人の女性！しかもリケジョ！！ 矢嶋監督が描く新しいポケモン映画で、私もたくさんチャレンジしたいです。どうぞお楽しみに！！
