Pokemon Journeys has officially brought back Alain to the anime after many years with the newest episode of the series, and that means a return from his Mega Charizard X in action as well! Ash Ketchum has been working his way up through the World Coronation Series through the newest iteration of the anime so far, and he’s finally reached the climax of the tournament now that the Masters Tournament between the final eight competitors. Some of these trainers are champions of their respective regions, but the one stand out of the final eight was Alain, who won a tournament in Kalos but isn’t considered the champion overall.
When fans saw that Alain was returning to the anime after several years away as part of the Masters Tournament, there was an excitement over potentially not only seeing him have a rematch with Ash but bring out his Mega Charizard X as well. But with the newest episode of the series, his match in the World Coronation Series ended up being the first in the quarterfinals bracket against the former world champion, Leon. This means we also got to see Mega Charizard X once more, and you can check it out as spotted by @Ockomet on Twitter:

Episode 115 of Pokemon Journeys has recently released in Japan, and Alain and Leon kicked off the first major battle of the Masters Tournament. While we got to see Mega Charizard X in the midst of battle against Leon’s Charizard, it was over just as quickly as it began as Leon proved his dominance and why he’s so undefeated in the first place. Unfortunately, this also means that fans will likely never get to see the rematch with Ash that fans have been anxious to see in action since he was confirmed to return to the anime.
It also goes to show that while Alain was strong enough with the use of Mega Evolution to make his way through the ranks of the World Coronation Series so far, it wasn’t enough against the rest of the champions. This also goes to show that Ash is going to have to do some major work to not only make his way through his respective battles, but will need to do so against Leon as well if he gets that chance.
How do you feel seeing Mega Charizard X in action again after all this time? How are you liking the Masters Tournament in Pokemon Journeys so far? Which battles are you most excited to see next?
