>>51611985Next is the Daisuki Ono’s personal thoughts on the upcoming battle.
>Ono: In the anime, Leon is a Champion, but in real left I felt like a challenger. Paired with Rica Matsumoto, who has been playing Satoshi for 25 years. I put my all into this recording, so much so that I felt my body give out and was completely burned. I have no regrets whatsoever. I went home in a daze, as my body was hurting all over. Everytime I think of the voiceover scenes I sweat. >Interviewer: I’m looking forward to see how the battle between the two of you will be! >Ono: I think you’ll enjoy it, that’s why I read ahead. The part about the various maneuvers and strategies are the most interesting. The feeling of “I won’t lose just yet!” greatly envelopes the developments of the battle. Anyways, it was a really heated battle. >Interview: It is a final battle that fans of the games can also enjoy. >Ono: No doubt, but there’s more to it than that. It also encompasses all the fun and intensity of a Pokémon battle. Both Leon and Ash use various strategies, and they are both thinking “If you come with this Pokémon then I will counter with this move!”.>Ono: From a performer’s point of view, Leon is the best Champion. I’m very happy that Rica-san gave me such a fight.Small details alongside this
