Liko and the others begin their battle training against all kinds of different Pokémon in the Terarium Dome in order to get stronger... However, Uruto soon goes missing...?! Meanwhile, Roy receives training from Kakitsubata from the Bluebereague Elite Four! Kakitsubata's motto is "keep it chill", and his training is a bit out of the ordinary...?!

anipoke Animation Staff Lists are my forte!
I gotta see this in action because this training seems a bit too unstructured from all the info we currently have.

Loving mother AND total badass!
Intrigued to see how they will structure this arc. Can’t see them doing 5 training eps back to back.
Maybe half an episode for training per character? Or a focus episode per PokeGuardian where half the an episode is for development and the other half for a battle? :confused:

Also can Uruto stay missing. Thx in advance
Sorry, but he's a main character, so we're stuck with him.

Though is going from looking for a missing Pokemon to looking for a missing a kid an upgrade or a downgrade? :confused:

Two months of Roy and Unova? We are so back
Okay I just realized that Roy’s Elite Four Member in Paldea battle was against Hassle and now he’s getting trained by another Dragon Elite Four member. He also expressed interest in Dragon Types when battling Hassle.

He better catch that Apple Snake thing or the Ice Dino Bear thing asap.

(You just said something so weird.)
Don't you love it when the top brass utterly ignore wanting to show any interest in training Liko or Dot over the boys with the walking gimmick advertisements.

Oh man, I hope Liko can beat...a random Tauros in the wild.

...And Ult pulls an Axew. Then again, this is an Unovan-styled setting...

I can't help but think Ult getting lost is a set up for him encountering then eventually catching a new Pokémon.
He only has Sableye and a Dragonite that won't listen to him. Be funny if he gets a team of pokemon that can mega evolve. That means what ever he catches could be ANYTHING. A starter mon, Excadrill, Eelektross.

iris is judging you
Did he even get an episode for himself outside of the special arc?
I'm just joking about Roy's writing. Roy came out of the timeskip and proceeded to defeat Anne and Liko. Then he fought Nemona and beat her too. Then he defeated Ult in the three-parter, and then he somehow defeated Mega Lucario too (even though it made zero sense). The three-parter was dedicated to showcasing how amazing and powerful Roy is. So, quite frankly, I have zero interest in watching Roy train, especially when he wins every non-Explorers battle anyway, and he'll probably end up defeating Nemona and Drayton too. It's nonsense.

I'm more invested in seeing characters like Dot and Liko train, you know, actually interesting characters.

Between those two I would prefer he gets an Applin that goes the Hydrapple route rather than Baxcalibur considering we haven’t seen Hydrapple had any major appearances yet.

Well so far both of Uruto’s Pokemon have been ones that can Mega Evolve and can naturally be found in caves at some point in their evolutionary lines, so looking at this his options would be the following lines: Drilbur line, Tynamo line, Mudkip line, Chespin line, Torchic line are some examples I think there are some Pokémon lines that have Mega Evolutions that can be found in caves in other regions.

So Uruto does have some options, although I wouldn’t be that surprised if they gave him one of the starters. That being said it’s hard to know for sure what he will wind up getting.

So Roy's getting special training, huh? Excellent.

This should give him the boost he needs to be at the level of soloing that Black Rayquaza. I can't wait to see how him and his team will develop
It feels like a pretty tight matchup between Dragon/Water and Dragon/Steel. Taikaiden and Achigator both check each their opponents elemental types, but the Dragon typing gives them natural defenses to balance it out.

Maybe we'll see a new move debut? It is a training battle… or some foreshadowing of one?

So you're saying there's still a chance for Ice Godzilla to be part of the squad? Roy’s our boy.
