The joke is that the Admiral is trying to teach Wo-class proper Japanese characters used in speech, but Wo is depicted with her pokemon speak (where she can only say wo). As an additional joke, o and wo sound very similar in the Japanese language (the wo is sometimes used as a sentence particle and sounds exactly like o). As a result, Wo-class only got the o sound right, and she probably got everything else on the character sheet wrong in terms of pronunciation. They could never communicate properly to begin with.
