Pokemon Journeys Promo Sets Up Ash vs. Leon Part 2

Pokemon Journeys has kicked off the final match of the Masters Tournament with its latest episodes now airing overseas, and the promo for the next episode is teasing the next major step in the battle between Ash Ketchum and Leon! After spending the current iteration of the anime working his way up the ranks of the World Coronation Series and defeating all sorts of notable champions on the way, Ash has finally gotten to have the chance at a real match against the undefeated champion Leon. But through the start of this match he’s starting to see why Leon’s at the top.

The latest episode of the series saw Ash and Leon gauging one another’s strength, and while Ash now has the ability to use all of his Mega Evolution, Z-Move, and Gigantamax power ups he’s acquired through his journey so far, he’s still struggling against the strategies of such a tough champion. At the same time, there’s also a chance that Ash could figure him out and close the gap too. That’s the focus for the preview for Episode 130 of the series, and you can check it out in action below:
