The Pokémon anime's first panel at San Diego Comic Con revealed an exciting development for fans - the original trio of Ash, Brock, and Misty will be reuniting for Ash's final set of episodes. Set to release on September 8, 2023, these episodes bring Ash's journey full circle after his tournament win and mark the return of beloved characters who haven't been seen for hundreds of episodes. With the Pokémon Ultimate Journeys anime nearing its end, there is still a block of 13 episodes yet to be released worldwide. These episodes will center around Ash, Brock, and Misty as they travel together once again, after a staggering 950 episodes apart. While Misty and Brock had left the show in order to introduce new companions and keep the series fresh, their absence has not been forgotten by fans. The announcement was met with enthusiastic cheers at the panel.
