Comments from cast members Kikuko Inoue, Honohana Inoue and director Tenshi Yamamoto

[Comment from Kikuko Inoue, who plays the role of Kapsiji]

Kapusaiji, who is a violent boy and has a lot of trouble biting it right away, but he meets Akira and takes a new step forward! Since it’s a habanero Pokemon, it’s a momentary pizza scene, a scene of trying hard, a scene full of tears… It’s full of highlights.
I would be happy if everyone could support the appearance of Capsaiji who are growing thanks to Akira!

[Comment from Honoka Inoue, who plays the role of Akira]

It may be a short time of 1 minute, but the story of Akira-chan and Capsaiji is packed tightly.
There are many things to see, but I really like Akira’s last line! Whether the two of them will start a new journey from there, or whether they are the words that the bond was born after going through various things during the trip.
Also, when I saw Capsaiji growing up after meeting Akira-chan, there was something that came to me!

[Comment from director Takashi Yamamoto]

Kapsiji is naughty and he immediately bites the other person when he doesn’t like it, and before he knows it, he’s left alone in the forest. Akira, a girl who has moved and is far away from her friends and teammates, is also a bit alone.
The capsaiji and Akira they meet end up with each other through Pokemon battles, play, and reconciliation over and over again. But one day, did you get caught up in a suspicious battle?
If there was a Pokemon anime in the 1980s… I hope you enjoy such a concept of a short story.
