Pokémon: After 25 years, Ash Ketchum is finally the best trainer in the world!
He became the…”very best” and officially!
After 25 long years, ten-year-old Ash Ketchum has finally become the best Pokémon trainer in the world . We learned this pleasant news through the last episode of Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series , which played a few hours ago in Japan.
In this episode, Ash’s Pikachu defeated a Charizard that belonged to Leon, who if you’re a fan of the games, you’ll surely remember as a trainer in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. This great battle took place during the biggest Pokemon tournament, called “ Pokémon World Coronation Series Masters Eight ”, in which various champions from all over the world face each other.
This news is without a doubt pleasant for anime fans, since for over 25 years, Ash has been trying to achieve this goal and he finally succeeded and became the…”very best”.
Below you can also read the official statements from The Pokémon Company :
Ash Ketchum’s determination and persistence to achieve his goal and become the best in the world after 25 seasons represents what it means to be “o very best”!
We look forward to celebrating this moment with Pokémon fans when the new season of Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series and this episode air next year around the world. This is one season no one wants to miss.

The last episode was played a few hours ago in Japan and is expected to reach our parts in the future.
However, what will happen from now on? There have been many rumors in the last few hours that Ash will probably stop, and we learned this through the titles of the last three episodes of “Journeys”.
