Ash & Pikachu Gone From 'Pokémon'; New Series With Trainers Liko & Roy!

[Digimon_Sommelier]

Ash Ketchum finally became a Pokémon master in the anime when he and Pikachu defeated trainer Leon and his Charizard and just like that, him and his Electric Mouse-type partner are gone from the series after a 25-year journey together! Set in the Paldea region, a new Pokémon series starring new trainers Liko and Roy (with starters Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly) will follow the two newbies in a Scarlet & Violet take on the popular show.

There will be final episodes featuring Ash and Pikachu starting next month but the end is indeed near.

Q: What do you guys and gals think of this?

I think Ash should give up on ever winning a tournament and begin life as a janitor.

[Digimon_Sommelier]

Hey!

[PictureGuy]

Maybe they will both be killed off.

[Digimon_Sommelier]

Nope. Now there's a Captain Pikachu in the new series Pokemon Horizons.

[Clayton_n]

Well I'm pretty sure Ash is middle aged by now..

[Digimon_Sommelier]

I've heard zero people raving about this new series. All hype?

[Clayton_n]

Dude, there are only three people in here.

[Digimon_Sommelier]
