In 2006, in conjunction with the launch of the NDS version (Diamond and Pearl), the TV animation simultaneously launched a new series "Pokémon Diamond & Pearl" (DP). After the Battle Frontier arc ended, Haruka said goodbye to Satoshi in order to challenge the Grand Tournament in the Johto region alone, and Satoshi returned to the Orange Gym, and Bron also went home. Satoshi was inspired by Mamoru and went to the Sinnoh region to challenge the league alone with Pikachu and the smuggled Longtailed Hand. The new heroine Hikari was based on the NDS version of the video game. In order to become a top coordinated trainer, Hikari came from her hometown of Futaba Town to the Yamanashi Research Institute in Masaga Town to receive the first Pokémon. At the same time, Satoshi also arrived in the Sinnoh region and reunited with Bron there. By chance, Hikari saved Pikachu who was captured by Team Rocket, and the three of them traveled together and embarked on a new journey. "Pokémon Pearl & Diamond" premieres in Japan every Thursday. The series was also broadcast in Taiwan by CTV, and the Mandarin dubbing of the first 105 episodes can be found on the Internet.
