In December last year, it was reported that beloved Pokemon series protagonist Ash Ketchum (also known as Satoshi) from Pallet Town would retire after 25 years. While news of Ash's departure shattered the hearts of millions of fans worldwide, more recent coverage by Famitsu shows that Ash will be accompanied by old friends Brock and Misty during his sendoff in Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series.
Ash and his Electric-type Pokemon companion Pikachu will bid farewell in a three-episode finale, starting Friday, 13 January 2023, in Japan, with the final episode airing on Friday, 27 January 2023. The episodes will premiere at 18:55 JST | 10:55 EST | 7:55 PST on TV Tokyo. Unfortunately, there is currently no confirmed release date for the English version of the last season, but it should be released on U.S. Netflix in the near future.
It's worth noting that Ash and Pikachu's departure does not mark the end of the Pokemon anime series as a whole. Instead, this move will pave the way for new characters, Liko and Roy. Following the finale, Liko and Roy will embark on their journeys to becoming the world's greatest Pokemon masters in an all-new series set in the Paldea region, where the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet games take place.
Here is a breakdown of each episode, per the Famitsu report. Also, it is reported that each of these episodes will feature the 1997 classic Pokemon opening theme, tracing Ash's 25-year journey in the series.
Satoshi (Ash Ketchum) and Pikachu go on a journey, encountering wild Pokémon and facing off against Team Rocket, who tries to steal Pikachu. In the midst of their adventure, they come across the legendary Pokémon Latias, who is injured.
