On his journey to become a Pokemon Master, Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town has traveled a long way, exploring many different regions across the globe and capturing numerous powerful Pokemon along the way. Ash has always had the ability to unleash the potential of his loyal companions.
Together, he and his Pokemon have journeyed through various lands, facing countless challenges and battling numerous trainers and Pokemon to become a Pokemon Master.
