[BigDocFan]

Title courtesy of Dephender at Serebii, there is a question mark over it airing May 19th so unconfirmed at present

No other information at present

The title is worded a bit weirdly but I assume its Captain Pikachu training Sprigatito and Fuecoco.

Certainly what I'm hoping for, it would be a great partner and hopefully we'll see some new moves

Captain Pikachu's Training Session.

Perfect for all Pokémon, essential for what's to come in the future. Complete with the Pika touch!

I'm guessing that Liko and Roy start training Sprigatito and Fuecoco under the tutelage of Friede and Captain Pikachu after they get demolished by Amethio so they can stand a better chance in future battles.

Sounds like a reasonable reason for it

Sprigatito and Fuecoco against a Corviknight, they stand little chance, especially given how experienced the trainers are in battling

Plot and staff list from Dephender:

As the Rising Volt Tacklers continue their journey through the skies, Liko and Roy decide to train under Captain Pikachu in order to get better at Pokémon battling. Neither Nyahoja nor Hogator are even remotely a match for the overwhelmingly strong Cap, but the training makes Liko realize something.

Nice to see some more battling taking place, it doesn't surprise me that Sprigatito and Fuecoco aren't that powerful against Pikachu, we know Sprigatito at least is a starter so battle experience is very small

Maybe not only them, considering the others got destroyed in episode 5 as well.

 

[Sakuraa]

I'm interested and hyped to see Liko and Roy training, though not too excited about Captain Pikachu having a big role in it. If anything it would have been nice to see them training against the other crew Pokémon since they haven't done too much as of yet. But we'll see how things go.

 

[Articfoxgamez]

The last episode seems to suggest the other crews Pokemon aren't really battlers, so might not be the best training companions.

 

[Eitarou]

Personally, I'd argue that starting with weaker opponents would be the more logical option.

[Sakuraa]

It'll be nice seeing Liko and Roy training. Even more than that though, I'm glad the best character Quaxly will be showing up. It really needs more screen time.

 

[Twilight-Kun]

And they're setting up the mystery of Nidothing's door

This feels like a Netflix series that would drop all at once, rather than having to wait weeks between releases

Just wish the dub wasn't awful, 'cause that's the one thing they have over the sub

 

[Poke Trey]

That thumbnail though.

 

[Eclipsical]

Please give Quaxly the same amount of attention as Sprigatito & Fuecoco.

The subbed preview says that there is another member of the RVT that never shows themselves and that the only way they will accept Liko & Roy as members is with a show of strength.

 

[BigDocFan]

I'm curious to see if Fuecoco and Sprigatito might learn the Pledge moves and combine them, the only Pokemon we've seen use a Pledge move was Pignite

 

[Poke Trey]

This'll definitely be a fun one for sure.
