This one I came across while I was browsing around on Pixiv in the Pokémon Sword & Shield tags, an entry from what looks like to be an animation featuring the Gym Leaders Raihan (Kibana/キバナ) and Piers (Nezu/ネズ).

Got excited when I heard about the new Pokémon webseries, Twilight Wings. The first episode features Leon and Chairman Rose, but it’s so short at only 6 minutes! Who else thinks these should be full length episodes? And when can I expect more?!
