Pokemon Journeys is definitely one of the biggest seasons of the anime series since the show began decades ago, with Ash Ketchum holding the role of protagonist throughout. With the Masters 8 line-up revealed and Ketchum being among them, it seems that an upcoming episode is set to focus on Goh as Ash’s right-hand man will be competing against Gary Oak for a spot amongst the Project Mew Team. While Goh might not be one of the strongest trainers in the world right now, it seems he still has some major challenges ahead of him.

Goh has been an interesting partner to Ash throughout the over one hundred episodes of Pokemon Journeys, not just seeking to become a strong trainer, but also looking to learn more about Mew and potentially do the impossible in capturing the legendary pocket monster. With Ash having been the lead of the anime series for over two decades at this point, many fans have been left wondering if this latest season has been a way for the franchise to finally pass the torch from Ketchum to his new travel companion. While Ash has captured wildly strong Pokemon such as Gengar, Lucario, and Dragonite, Goh turned plenty of heads earlier in the series when he was able to capture the legendary Pokemon known as Suicune.
Twitter Outlet Anipoke Fandom shared some new images from the one-hundred and thirteenth episode of Pokemon Journeys, apparently seeing Goh and Gary fighting side-by-side as they both vie for a spot in the organization that is seeking to learn more about the mysterious Mew:
The official description of the upcoming Pokemon Journeys episode reads as such:
“Goh, who had received his final Project Mew Trial Mission, heads alone to the Split-Decision Ruins in the Crown Tundra. His rival Gary is also there. Can Goh safely complete the mission? Who will become an official member of the Project Mew exploration team?”
Should Ash manage to actually become the strongest Pokemon trainer in the world, it might be the perfect opportunity to have Goh leading the series moving forward and setting up an eventual battle between the two friends down the line.
Do you think Goh is set to take the reins from Ash when it comes to being the main protagonist of Pokemon’s anime? 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.
