The top Gym leader in the Sinnoh region, Denji, appears!
A 3-on-3 battle is going to take place in the episode "A Super-Electromagnetic Hyper Class Battle!", which is set to air Friday August 20th! Denji awaits Satoshi with powerful Electric type Pokémon, including Rentorar, and Satoshi throws down the gauntlet for a fully powered battle with his Z-Ring in his hand!
It's Denji, the top Gym leader in the Sinnoh region, and Satoshi, the first Champion of the Alola region's Pokémon League. This is a hyper class battle between two tough contenders; How will it end?!
Comments from Denji's voice actor Hirofumi Nojima
Denji is a character from my own distant past as well, so when I was given word about this, I felt both nostalgic and extremely happy I'd get to play him again.
You know, when I first battled Satoshi as a Gym Leader in the "Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl" anime, we weren't actually able to finish the battle, so we had a total of 2 Gym matches.
This time we're able to fight each other as equal Pokémon World Championships challengers, so even as an actor I was really looking forward to seeing how we'd liven up the battle as I went to the dubbing session.
Denji is normally a very calm and relaxed person, but when he's in a battle, not even Satoshi can match his energy and enthusiasm. I believe I'll be able to show you all Pokémon battling the way only Denji can do it, so please look forward to that, everyone!
