Ash Ketchum set off on a journey from his humble beginnings in Pallet Town to turn out to be the perfect like nobody ever was. Over 20 years later, he is now a Pokémon world champion.

Ash emerged victorious within the Pokémon World Coronation Series within the newest episode of Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series that was launched in Japan. The first 12 episodes of the season premiered Oct. 21 within the U.S. on Netflix, however the launch date of the episode exhibiting Ash’s final win has not but been introduced.

“Ash Ketchum’s determination and perseverance to achieve his goal of becoming the world’s top Pokémon Trainer over the course of 25 seasons represents the very best of what it means to be a Trainer,” Taito Okiura, vice chairman of selling for The Pokémon Company International, said in a statement.

In the very first scene of the sequence, Ash had simply turned 10 years outdated and was eligible for a Pokémon coach’s license.

“I will journey to gain the wisdom of Pokémon training, and I hereby declare to the Pokémon of the world, I will be a Pokémon master!” he declared.

Twenty-five years later, he did.

The sequence follows Ash and his Pikachu throughout quite a few areas as they make mates, meet new Pokémon and battle different trainers. Ash often got here shy of event victories till the lately established Manalo Conference, the place he grew to become the primary Pokémon league champion within the Alola area.

But to be a Pokémon world champion, the coach should be the strongest on the earth — not simply in a league.

It is unclear the place the sequence will go from right here now that Ash is the world champion. The Pokémon Company has not introduced its plans past this season and is holding the deal with this second.

The ultimate episode of the season is titled, “Pokémon! I’m Glad I got to Meet You!” The premiere — and the beginning of Ash’s journey — is known as, “Pokémon – I Choose You!”
