Pokemon Fans are Loving Ash's Huge New Win

Ash Ketchum has come a long way since he first decided to make Pikachu the first Pokemon in his roster as he set out on his journey to becoming a great trainer. Having won the Alola Region tournament during Pokemon Sun And Moon, Pokemon Journeys has taken Ketchum to the top by having the young trainer participate in the Masters 8 Tournament. With his latest battle seeing the protagonist take on Cynthia, fans are celebrating Ketchum's latest victory and what it means for the anime adaptation's future.     

The current season of Pokemon is setting the stage for Journeys' conclusion, with the confrontation between Ash and Leon having been built throughout one hundred plus episodes. Having first arrived as a part of Pokemon Sword & Shield, the trainer that hails from the Galar Region has earned his place as the world champion, having blown his way through the Masters 8 Tournament thanks to his Charizard and his roster of pocket monsters. With Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introducing a new region later this year on the Nintendo Switch, it's no surprise to see that Journeys is preparing to end to take the anime in a new direction to follow suit.

Will Ash become world champion and defeat Leon? Do you think the anime will continue with Ketchum as the lead should he claim victory? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of Pokemon.
