One look and you're in love! Lutya makes her first appearance in the Anipoke! The contest performance we've all been waiting for!


The anime "Pocket Monsters" will start airing soon! It airs every Friday at 6:55 p.m. and it is very popular! 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 Anipoke information you won't find anywhere else! Today's Anipoke is full of exciting encounters and reunions, even for those that aren't fans!


Koharu, who wants Eievui to decide for itself what evolution it will evolve into, has met numerous Eievui evolutions and learned about evolution one by one by talking to their trainers. The only remaining evolutionary form is Nymphia. Then Koharu hears that a Nymphia is attracting attention at a contest in Minamo City in the Houen region, and she and Eievui head for Minamo City!


▲ Koharu is on her way to the contest site, but something unexpected happens!

When Koharu arrives at the venue, she is scouted by Lutya, the No. 1 Contest Idol of the Houen region, whom she met by chance and she convinced her to participate in the contest...!　Will the Miracle Cinderella story of Koharu and Eievui begin now...?


▲ Lutya's scouting of Koharu is broadcast live throughout Minamo City.

Satoshi and Go happened to be in Minamo City and were surprised to see Koharu on a screen in town!　The two were about to head to the contest site to meet up with Koharu, but someone stopped them...!　That person is gym leader, Mikuri!　......Erm, who is it?


▲ Why is Koharu here?! What do they mean to be in a contest!?


▲ Anipoke female fans can be heard cheering! Contest Master Mikuri, is back! (Sorry I couldn't remember.)


▲ The two had to hurry to the venue, but when Mikuri challenged Satoshi to a battle, Satoshi readily agreed. Satoshi was his usual self again today.


▲ Lutya's partner is Tyltalis, known as "Tyll".


▲This outfit...!! Is Koharu really going to enter the contest?

More to come in today's Anipoke! What new encounters will Koharu and Eievui have?
