Pokemon Journeys has been seeing Ash and his new friend Goh traveling the world following Ketchum’s big win in the Alola Region for over one hundred episodes, but it seems that their journey is set to come to a close. With the Masters 8 line-up being revealed, a new trainer is set to be crowned the strongest in the world, with Ash looking to have some serious competition as he will be battling some familiar faces during the World Coronation Series.

The World Coronation Series is an event within the world of Pokemon in which the champions of certain regions battle it out in order to determine who is the strongest Pokemon trainer in the world today. With Ash representing the Alola Region thanks to his victory during the events of Pokemon Sun And Moon, the seven trainers that will be competing alongside him certainly are nothing to sneeze at. Leon will be representing Galar, Lance will be representing Kanto, Steven will be representing Hoenn, Cynthia will be representing Sinnoh, Iris will be representing Unova, Diantha will be representing Kalos, and Alain rounds out the eight strongest Pokemon trainers in the world today.
Pokemon Journeys revealed the new roster of the Masters 8, with the upcoming World Coronation Series most likely set to see Ash have some of his toughest battles of the anime so far while bringing him closer than he ever has been to becoming the best Pokemon trainer in the world:
Hilariously enough, it seems that we’ll have two trainers who both rely on a Charizard with Alain and Leon being in front of their dragon-type pocket monster who is considered by fans to be one of the most popular Pokemon around. With Ash spending the events of Pokemon Journeys forming a new roster of some of the strongest Pokemon he’s captured to date, including the likes of Lucario, Dragonite, and Gengar to name a few.
What do you think of the final roster for the Masters 8? Do you think Ash Ketchum will finally be able to become the greatest Pokemon trainer in the world?
