After 25 years of training, adventuring, as well as satisfying brand-new close friends in the process, Ash Ketchum has actually ultimately accomplished his life long desire for coming to be the globe’s ideal Pokémon fitness instructor. In the most up to date episode of the anime Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series Ash beat Leon in the Pokémon World Coronation Series, hence coming to be the No. 1-ranked fitness instructor in the program’s globe.

In the anime, the Pokémon World Coronation Series is an international champion that unites the very best fitness instructors from throughout all areas — consisting of previous champs like the fearsome Cynthia as well as others like Iris, Steven, as well as Lance. Of program, Ash didn’t manage the win all by himself. His friend, Pikachu, was there for every action of the means. His last group that permitted him to secure the globe title had Pikachu, Dracovish, Gengar, Sirfetch’d, Lucario, as well as Dragonite.

The suit finished with an extreme face-off in between Pikachu as well as Leon’s Charizard. It really feels ideal, considered that Pikachu is the just one of Ash’s Pokémon that has actually stuck to him throughout his 25-year trip. Typically, Ash begins each brand-new area with a brand-new group, while constantly maintaining Pikachu on it.

So his success is a little bit of a tear-jerker — particularly as the program includes cameos from Ash’s previous Pokémon companions as well as old traveling friends, like Brock, Misty, May, Max, Cilan, Dawn, as well as others.

Fans stateside will certainly need to wait to view the complete episode in English. The episode simply transmitted in Japan as well as will certainly broadcast globally at some point “in the future,” according to a press release. However, if this makes you sentimental you can go as well as view the initial period of the retro program on Netflix currently.

Fans gathered to social networks systems to share with each other in the pleasure of ultimately seeing Ash attain his desire with someone explaining it as a “special, legendary, historic day.” Before this, Ash’s lack of ability to reach his champion objective had actually been a reoccuring joke, due to the fact that it simply looked like it would certainly never ever take place — Ash neither aged or defeat the leading fitness instructor of an area, not to mention the globe.

This is not a desire, this is reality.

This day, on November 11th, 2022, Satoshi/Ash Ketchum ended up being the brand-new World Champion. 25 years planned. He did it.

What an unique, epic, historical day. This will certainly never ever obtain old. I’m so happy with him. pic.twitter.com/nAWl4PmKLJ

As a follower, it can’t yet aid really feel bittersweet. Now that Ash has accomplished his desire, what lays in advance for him as well as the anime? The Pokémon Company has actually not introduced prepare for a brand-new Pokémon collection with a brand-new lead character, yet that hasn’t quit fans from speculating that Ash’s trip could be concerning an end. Whatever occurs however, it’s nice understanding that with determination as well as the appropriate close friends, also a dorky child with a mischievous Pikachu can attain his desires.
