Pokemon Fans Bid Farewell To Pikachu And Ash

The time has finally come for anime fans to say goodbye to Ash Ketchum and Pikachu, with Pokemon Journeys bringing its season to an end and the anime's return looking to focus on two new trainers. With Ash achieving his dream of becoming the world champion, many fans believed that he would continue as the anime's star as the top of the food chain, but were staggered by the revelation that both the trainer and his trusty Pikachu were bidding the television series a fond farewell.           

Understandably, fans were shocked and amazed at the fact that the long-time trainer who was introduced in the late 1990s would be leaving the anime behind. Luckily, fans will have a few more episodes to follow along with Ash and Pikachu, as eleven additional episodes will give viewers the final journey between these two fast friends. With new protagonists Liko and Roy set to be the new stars of the television series, Pokemon Journeys will end and the new region introduced in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will be explored when Ash's story comes to a close.
