The anime rerun episode for this week was the original series episode Dance, Waninoko! Do the Step of Love!! (おどれワニノコ!あいのステップを!!). The episode featured Satoshi's Waninoko falling in love with Hibari's Marill while Takeshi gives Waninoko pointers on how to impress it.
During today's Pokémon Daisuki Project, Robert realize that Professor Red is currently very unlucky. During the last few Pokémon Battles that Professor Red has been in, he has been easily defeated. Robert decide that something must be done about Professor Red's current unlucky state and decide to do a bunch of different things to increase his luck.
In the first scene, Robert and Professor Red are seen together in a hot tub discussing Red's bad luck streak and how they are going to break that streak. Yamamoto points up to a mural of Mt. Fuji above the hot tub which was the first luck point ( 開運ポイント1) for Professor Red. Looking at Mount Fuji is considered good luck. (富士山を見ると運がよくなる) The picture is of Mount Fuji during a morning sunrise in a season where the is no snow on the mountain. (雪がない季節に土が朝日にそまっ富士山)。This raised Professor Red's luck points. (さらに運を上げるポイントも!)
While they were all still in the hot tub, Baba brought up the second luck point which was a proverb "Luck comes to those who smile" (笑う門には福きたる) Robert then began splashing Red with a lot of water to test him if he could continue smiling, but instead of increasing his luck point meter, it decreased significantly because he got mad as water was being splashed in his face. Robert stopped splashing him and Yamamoto began reciting the beginning of the proverb to Professor Red and he replies by finishing off the proverb while smiling and laughing which increased his luck meter a bit.
After getting out of the hot tub, Robert gave Professor Red a stuffed
Lucky (ラッキー Chansey) to wear around his neck for good luck. Lucky obviously must be 'lucky'! The third luck point was 'Going to popular site will bring luck'. (人気スポットに行くと運がよくなる) Robert brought Professor Red to the
Tobu Animal Park while wearing his stuffed Lucky to ride a roller coaster. (東武動物公園 カワセミ)
