The time that many thought would never come has arrived, as the Pokemon anime has announced that Ash Ketchum and his trusted Pikachu will be leaving the series that they have starred in for twenty-plus years. Following Ash’s world championship win against Leon during the Masters 8 Tournament, the main trainer of the anime adaptation was set to say goodbye to Goh and set out on a new adventure. However, the next anime series following Pokemon has been announced and Ash will no longer be in the driver’s seat.
Understandably, fans were shocked and amazed at the fact that the long-time trainer who was introduced in April 1st, 1997 would be leaving the anime behind. Luckily, fans will have a few more episodes to follow along with Ash and Pikachu, as eleven final episodes will give viewers the final journey and closure between these two best friends. With new protagonists Liko and Roy set to be the new stars of the television series, Pokemon Journeys will end and the whole new region of Paldea introduced in the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet video games will be explored as Ash’s story 2.B.A. Master comes to a close.
Goodbye Ash And Pikachu
