Pokémon trainer Ash Ketchum has finally become the very best, like no one ever was.
After kicking off his journey to become a Pokémon Master way back in 1997, Ash has won the Regional Pokémon League in the Pokémon Sun & Moon run of the anime series.
This is the first time hes won the main tournament in the anime, with the latest episode aired in Japan seeing Ash triumph over Gladion to win the Alola Region Pokémon League.
Ash has previously won tournaments like the Orange Island Challenge and Battle Frontier, but they arent as prestigious as the traditional regional competitions – which he has failed to win countless times across the show.
The news has unsurprisingly caused much jubilance across the community, with Veronica Taylor, who voiced the original English version of Ash in the animes first eight seasons, even writing a commemorative post.
