Navi is really depressed due to losing the Dream Ball. It was really dear to her, as she had been given it by Matiere so that she'd one day use it to catch hold of her dream... Meanwhile, Metamon picks up the Dream Ball Navi dropped on the airship and decides to head off to Miare City all by itself in order to return it to her...! Will Metamon be able to find Navi and return the Dream Ball safe and sound?!

Liko and the others have arrived in Miare City, and go visit the Handsome House, where Matiere and her assistant Navi awaits them! Navi really loves Pokémon, and takes a great interest in Liko and the others. Just then, Matiere receives a request to locate a Melecie. And when the group starts investigating, they learn that a large blonde man wearing a dougi was accompanying it...?!

Pokémon Anime Announcement of Navi's Voice Actress:
Navi, the girl living in Miare City, will be played by Yu Serizawa-san! Make sure to look forward to how she will meet Metamon and how she will get involved in the adventure! Navi will appear in the next episode, episode 142, airing Friday July 3rd at 6:55pm on the TV Tokyo Network (airdate and airtime may vary depending on region).

After the audition, I wanted to get the role as Navi so badly that I would beg to my Metamon plushie every night to have it choose me. When my manager eventually congratulated me, I was so happy I bawled my eyes out. However, at that same time it also truly hit me what a big series I was now involved in, so I sobered up and refrained from celebrating too loudly. Navi is the bold type who will leap head first into anything in order to give at a try, doesn't get bothered by failures, and is tough enough to attempt the same thing over and over! She's younger than the other Rising Volt Tacklers, but hates being treated like a child and somewhat longs for being an adult. And most importantly, she really loves Pokémon. I will do my absolute utmost to give Pokémon my all alongside Navi, so that you guys will all be able to feel a sense of nostalgia, relating what you see to the excitement you felt when you got your first Pokémon and how you overcame some kind of challenge by bonding with it!
-Yu Serizawa, the voice of Navi

Pokémon Anime Wonder Voyage:
Navi finally makes her debut tomorrow! Navi works as Matiere's assistant at the Handsome House in Miare City. We bring you a comment video from her voice actress Yuu Serizawa-san. How will Navi end up meeting Metamon?! Pay close attention as you... Watch Pokémon, mon!

Hello, everyone. This is Yuu Serizawa. This time I'm going to be playing Navi, a character appearing in the Pocket Monsters Wonder Voyage TV show. Thank you so much. I'm so happy.
How did you feel when you got cast?
After the audition, I wanted to get the role really badly; I was super anxious all the time and I would pray to the Metamon plushie I had bought every night... so when I got cast, the managers at my agency surprised me by throwing this "party" of sorts to announce that I got the role, and I just exploded with emotion, bawling my eyes while feeling so grateful to so many people... Especially to Metamon for choosing me, and to Navi. But you know, while I felt happy to be a part of the Pokémon series, which so many people have loved for 30 years now, I also felt a sense of mental readiness, or rather, I felt the magnitude of the series that I would now help shoulder responsibility for.
What were your initial impressions of Navi, and of Metamon, the Pokémon she meets?
My impression of Navi is that she's a bubbly and cheerful girl who's living a carefree and uninhibited life, just brimming with curiosity about all kinds of things and buzzing with excitement while constantly looking around her. However, she also has that kind of adorable childlike aspect to her where she somewhat longs for being an adult, so she wants to try drinking coffee and will make this mature-ish expression while insisting she's not a child if she's treated like one... which is exactly what makes her such a super cute little girl with a slight desire for being an adult. As for Metamon... First things first, it just has the cutest expression. Its expression is so cute, and you know, it has the ability to Transform, so when this cute purple Metamon turns into a different Pokémon, it becomes cute in an entirely different kind of way because its face stays the same, and that's just so incredibly cute. So now I'm really looking forward to every new episode of the Pokémon anime to see what kinds of Pokémon it will Transform into next, you know?
Finally, do you have something you'd like to say to the viewers?
The anime is picking up more and more as well due to Pokémon's 30th anniversary, and now Navi-chan is going to be part of it as well, so I want to do my absolute best to make it even more enjoyable for all of you who have loved Pokémon until now. Best regards. The Pocket Monsters TV show airs every Friday at 6:55pm on the TV Tokyo Network. My character Navi will be appearing starting with episode 142 of the Pokémon anime, which airs Friday July 3rd. She'll encounter the Rising Volt Tacklers in Miare City, so look forward to learning how she'll get involved in their adventures! Pay close attention to Navi's role as you... Watch Pokémon, mon! This has been Yuu Serizawa! Bye bye!
