The sequence follows this pattern: you square the number, then add 2 to the result, then subtract one from that result; then you repeat.

If you check, you will see that 1 squared is 1; 1 plus 2 is 3; 3 minus 1 is 2; 2 squared is 4; 4 plus 2 is 6; 6 minus 1 is 5; and 5 squared is 25. So, the next term would probably be 25 plus 2, or 27.
