Satoshi, Go, and Koharu, who were present at the reunion while investigating Pokémon, travel to the Alola region with the Mohn's family! The people of Alola are excited by the miraculous return of Mohn, who disappeared into an Ultra Wormhole, as well as the triumphant return of Alola's first champion! Now let's all get ready for a feast!!


▲ Finally the whole family is back together in the Alola region!


▲ Satoshi shares his joy with his friends from the Pokémon School. Satoshi hasn't seen all his schoolmates together for a long time!


▲ This is Koharu's first time in the Alola region!


▲ Koharu is wondering about Eievui's evolution, and decides to ask Suiren, another Eievui trainer, about it.


▲ The answer makes Koharu realize a new option...!?

Alola's first champion, Satoshi, is back... and there is only one thing to do! A Battle Royal will be held at the Royal Dome in Alola! Four pairs of contestants, said to be the strongest in Alola, will clash!!


▲ The venue was packed as it was the triumphant return of the champion! The spectator seats were filled with familiar faces!


▲ The first competitor is Kaki, the fiery guy from Akara Island! How strong has Garagara become after training to beat Satoshi!


▲ Gladio is also burning for revenge against Satoshi! Will it be Lugarugan? Or Zoroark? Or...?


▲ And of course, there's this guy! Not the Masked Royal, but Professor Kukui... participating as one of the trainers!!


▲ The first Alola Champion! You can see Satoshi's fully powered battle!!

Battles with strong opponents ahead of the fierce battles of the Masters Eight! Check out today's broadcast for the results!

The official Japanese Anime PR Twitter account posted a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this Anipoke episode with a production artwork piece on May 26th, 2022. The picture featured Satoshi's Pokémon.

A glimpse behind the scenes of the Anipoke production
This time, it's an original drawing from episode 112.
Everyone has loudly gathered around the Pokémon Food.
It looks so delicious!

During the PM2019 111 sponsor message at the very end of the original broadcast on TV Tokyo, the preview clip showed Satoshi and Professor Kukui standing on the sofa with their shoes on. In the actual broadcast of this episode, papers were added to the sofa where they were standing to probably prevent the sofa from getting dirty.

At the end of the original airing of this episode on TV Tokyo, To Be Continued was replaced with the text: The Masters Eight gather after the CM (CMの後はマスターズエイト集結！). A preview of the Masters Eight Tournament was broadcast.
