  • While the series finale follows the travels of Ash in ‘some regions’ the question remains if this ambitious character Ash Ketchum will be satisfied with just enjoying the final ride or end up finding a new lifelong aim.

How will the Anime End?

  • In a sense, that’s exactly what this final anime series will answer before bidding farewell to Ash. This will bring an end to his eventful journey starting back in Pallet Town. Traveling from one League to another and facing all kinds of challenges along the path. In the end, achieving his dream and a final wrap-up.
