Ash Ketchum won the Masters Eight Tournament of the Pokemon World Coronation Series and is now the official champion and best Trainer in the Pokemon world.
This just happened in the latest episode of Pokemon Ultimate Journeys: The Series, which started today in Japan and will be shown all over the world in the future. The win is important because it’s the end of 25 years of Ash’s adventures in the Pokemon world.
Finally the Pokemon Master
Ash’s journey began in the Kanto region, and he and his Pikachu have fought many opponents since then. They’ve participated in tournaments before, but they’ve come short of a tournament victory. At the Manalo Conference in the Alola region, Ash Ketchum became the first-ever Pokemon League Champion.
The Pokemon Company said, “Ash’s title of World Champion is also a big pop culture moment and a reason to celebrate for Pokémon fans all over the world who have been following his journey for the past 25 years.”
The vice president of marketing for The Pokémon Company International, Taito Okiura, said this about today’s news: “Ash Ketchum’s determination and perseverance over 25 seasons to reach his goal of becoming the world’s best Pokémon Trainer shows the best of what it means to be a Trainer. We can’t wait to celebrate this moment with Pokémon fans when the new season of “Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series” and this adventure-defining episode air around the world next year. Fans won’t want to miss this season!”
Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series can be seen on Netflix in the United States. More episodes will be made available in the future.
