CoroCoro Comic's Official website posted an article about this episode just before the original airing on February 2nd, 2024.


Anipoke is just around the corner! After the big storm passed, a Wakkanezumi appeared!


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!

The Rising Volt Tackler's were pushing through a fierce storm on the Brave Asagi, but in the morning, the weather cleared up and was nice and sunny! Friede and his crew temporarily anchored the ship to inspect the areas damaged caused by the last night's storm and to conduct health checks of the Pokémon.


▲ The Pokémon who were exhausted after working through the storm were quickly revitalized by Lucky's nutritious eggs and Heal Pulse!


▲ Mibrim, who admires Lucky, imitates using the Heal Pulse move and feels as if they has become their apprentice.

Then Mibrim senses something. To their surprise, it was a wounded Wakkanezumi! Thanks to Molly and Lucky, the Wakkanezumi manages to regain its strength, but it soon gets up and runs off somewhere. Where was it going......!?


▲ The Wakkanezumi, which is supposed to be in pairs at any given time, is by itself...... but why!?


▲ Wakkanezumi was running as if they want them to follow it. This is...... a den blocked by huge tree!?


▲ Liko follows an anxious and restless Wakkanezumi. Is there another one ahead......!?

And here comes the shocking turn of events! The rest of the story will be on Anipoke at 6:55 p.m. today!
