And here we start Ash's last 11 episodes for his journey. Hope y'all are ready.

It's a nice episode with Ash & Pikachu just going places where the wind takes them, and having to take care of Team Rocket's shenanigans once again, while helping out an injured Latias.

It's also the episode where we start seeing team rotations, bringing back Pokémon we haven't seen in action since Ash left them in Oak's Lab. (We're definitely getting to see this a lot so just headcanon in your mind that Ash is rotating his team every time he goes to a Pokémon Center)

Next week, we'll see Misty again, with her and Ash battling to see who gets... a Clauncher..
Look forward to the next!

Sceptile is one of my all time favorites and the littest plant type. You can't change my mind. And they went full nostalgia with the opening.

Why did they start this final arc with such a bland filler episode...? Like, they should try to grab people's attention immediately, right? I just can't understand what was the point of this. Hopefully more things happen in the next ones.

I told myself I wouldn't cry throughout any of these 11 episodes and I failed three minutes into this episode...

Anyway I swear to GOD I thought Satoshi was going to catch Latias! He had made a great connection with her and he ALWAYS CATCHES his pokemon when showing them love like this!!!

But then Latias flew away and I was pissed!!!


BUT THEN!!!! We see her at the end of the episode!!! I really think this series will end with Satoshi catching Latias giving him his first ever legendary.

Peak episode, peak opening, peak Pokemon.

This is exactly what I want to see for Ash's final series.

Infernape vs Electivire and Ash Greninja in the opening you love to see it.

God what a boring episode. What was even the point of this mini series if they're just going to pull the nostalgia pandering card by bringing back some old Pokemon for 11 episodes while still having the same godawful writing as before? This was a waste of an episode centered on Ash trying to protect Latias from TR, and that Latias might as well have been any Pokemon.

Im perfectly fine with these 11 episode being slice of life. As it is like the retirement arc of ash ketchem so it is just to recall the friends and pokemons, he has befriended along the way. I do not think it should be action-packed as it will just take away from the main goal of these 11 episode which is a nostagic trip.1

Why are you even watching it then, Lol. I mean it's obvious they are gonna share some nostalgia in this mini-series. Maybe Ash will achieve something big by the end of it, or we would get to learn some un-covered mysteries about the Pokemon world. But that's it. What the company is trying to accomplish, is bidding a farewell to the most important main-lead of the show!

it might be a "boring" episode but this is ash having no goal in mind at the moment, he just wanted to explore, for me its a good slice of life episode. glad that he is rotating his pokemon again, also, Noivern Sceptile, Dorphan, buizel!

Awesome remaster of the OP and they just straight up threw the OG ED in there.

Man this is going to have me crying in 11 weeks, isn't it?

I wondered if Latias remembered Ash. I guess not.
Maybe she'll be a recurring presence in this batch of episodes.

Ah well, next week we catch up with Misty!

pffffffffft HAHAHAHA not even 1 minute and i'm already crying from laughing, wtf
Pikachu didn't enjoy that Ash trolling ... that play time was awesome :D

oh this opening, nostalgic
they added some nice stuff like that picture with all his teammates

4:40 wow, the scene with magikarps, pikachu laugh totally didn't remind me of Power from Chainsaw when she laughed at Kobeni in the hotel room lols

5:00 totally didn't learn these moves from Tarzan... i mean Iris :v
he keeps getting distracted and falling lmao

5:50 wow Beedril is scary ... didn't expect it to want a touch lol

7min - mama san? is that how he calls her?
oh no, not his poems, good thing that MrMime took care of silencing him HAHAHAHA

8:15 WHAT THE HELL, Meowth came out of nowhere LOL
can i skip this part, i probably heard it 5000 times already
Pikachu face tho, he is as bored of them as i am haha

i thought Ash already knew about TR electric resistances lol he also does it every time

9:45 WAIT WHAT? Ash taking older pokemons with him? oh really? i wasn't expecting that

team rocket blasting off again!!!
and hitting... Latias? i wonder if it's the Latias from the movie who can transform, i would love to see her again lol

seeing them treat Latias was adorbs
ofc dumb rocket had to interfere ... and ofc they lost again, how unexpected

Latias left but kept stalking him, wonder if she will let herself be caught later

no idea if this ending was an old one or not but i'm not a fan lol

i was wondering if Ash was gonna catch anything at all, and here we are, fighting Kasumi for a crab :D

wow what an episode, if this last season of Ash is going to be all like this, then it will be amazing

And here it is, the begining of the end. The last few episodes of Ash's journey. This first episode was decent. Glad to see Latias, is it gonna join Ash? Hope so. The remastered op with new scenes in between was nice. 10 more episode to go.

It would be the perfect end of Ash's saga if he had at the end 1 legendary pokemon
We've seen other trainers in the pokemon saga having legendary pokemon
Best ending would be a legendary wishing to follow Ash

Ash and Pikachu's banter at the beginning was pretty fun. Wish we had more of those.

Mr. Mime definitely knows somethin' about Oak and Delia that we don't, judging from his expression.



I was hoping the Latias would be the one from the movie but alas we will never get to see the actual best girl.

The beginning of the end.

It's good to see Ash use his old Pokémon, you get a bit of a classic vibe here. There is definitely something building with Latias going forward...

Somewhat back to basics this episode with not one but two battles against Team Rocket. Seeing Latias was awesome though. Always amazing to watch Ash encounter and help out legendaries in the regular series, even if it has been normalised a lot recently. Overall a lovely and enjoyable start to the end.
