Pokemon Journeys to Revisit Alola in Special New Episode

Pokemon Journeys is one of the most ambitious series to ever tackle the franchise, and fans would be hard-pressed to name a better season. Ash has done things in the past two years no one ever thought would happen, after all. Now, it seems the show is moving into its climax, and its latest synopsis confirms a return to Alola is in the cards for our favorite trainer.

The update comes from Japan as a new set of episode titles and synopses went like for Pokemon Journeys. It did not take long for fans like AnipokeFandom to share the blurbs with others, and the synopsis for “Triumphant Return! The Alola Champion” speaks for itself.

“Ash reunites with his All Pokemon classmates for the first time in a while. They decide to host a battle Royale where four groups of players battle at the same time. The venue becomes overcrowded because of the return of the Alola League’s triumphant champion, Ash! Will Ash be able to survive the tournament with strong enemies like Professor Kukui also participating,” the synopsis reads.

As you can see, episode 112 will be a wild one, and Pokemon Journeys plans for Ash to get some major training in while in the Alola region. Fans can expect this comeback to go down this month as Japan will drop this episode on May 27th. This will mark the first full Alolan reunion in Pokemon Journeys, but Ash has visited the region once already in this series. He managed to fly over to Alola a long time ago to visit Professor Kukui and his old Pokemon if you’ll remember. And now, it seems another homecoming is in the cards for Ash and Pikachu.
