Title via TV Guide.

"When the Rising Volt Tacklers' air ship makes an emergency landing on a remote island, the ship's Fuecoco disappears. Liko and Sprigatito land on the island in search of Fuecoco. On the other hand, Roy, a boy who lives on that remote island witnesses a mysterious Pokemon..."

So this is going to be Roy's official introduction and the Fuecoco on the ship is very likely going to be the one he catches.

I'm hoping this remote island is somewhere in the Paldea region

The island cannot be in Paldea because Roy is from Kanto.

Could have sworn I heard he was from Paldea

 

[Sakuraa]

Finally Roy! My prediction from last night was wrong, but it's fine. Glad to finally get to Roy's introduction. I'm wondering if that mysterious Pokémon is the shiny Rayquaza.

 

[RetroPokeFan]

So this is where Roy boy makes his debut. Let's see how he ends up faring.

You must have confused yourself with Liko.
She is from Paldea.

It would make Shiny Rayquaza appears in Roy's introduction episode, since his goal is challenge the Pokemon of Legends.

Maybe the Shiny Rayquaza is even related to the mysterious Pokeball.

I wonder why they are being so secretive about the "remote island" that Roy comes from? Maybe it will be included in the upcoming DLC? Liko gets baby Terapagos while Roy gets to live in one of the new locations? Normally they would tell us the name if it's an anime-only island (like Orange Islands).

I really doubt the remote island is related to the DLC, because the profiles mentioned it's a remote island in Kanto.

The Explorers are in 5 out of 5 episodes so far.

Hopefully as the series continues and things settle down, they'll stop appearing every episode

Hopefully they don't end up like Team Rocket, become less threatening by constantly appearing

 

[Sakuraa]

I do hope Roy's introduction will take up most of the episode. The summary almost makes it feel like a big portion of episode will be dealing with everyone else with Roy only being brought in later on. But it could just be the wording. Hopefully we'll get a good idea from the teaser tomorrow.

Turns out he apppeared at the end of today's episode

 

[Sakuraa]

The preview doesn't make me feel confident about Roy getting much solo screentime, but I guess we'll see what happens next week. I am still excited to see his and Liko's interactions. And nice to see Liko finally in her normal clothes. At the very least it doesn't look like there will be much of the side characters, which would be nice.

That's nice, but even still, the preview shows him meeting Liko here already, meaning he likely won't be having a full introductory episode just to himself. Unless that scene of them together occurs at the tail end of the episode, which I guess is possible...

 

[BigDocFan]

I'm told the title is translated wrong, it should be Washed-Ashore which I'm guessing involves the flag Roy found at the end of HZ003

 

[skynerel]

For a moment there I thought that maybe he found the mysterious pokeball in some treasure chest in the beach.

 

[Sakuraa]

This isn't important whatsoever, but I just realized that Roy isn't wearing his jacket in the preview (nor was he wearing it in the last episode on that same note).
