I absolutely cannot believe it's coming to an end. I remember the scene where Ash is getting geared up to begin his Pokemon journey to be incredibly inspiring to 10-year-old me in the late 90's.

Thank you, Ash and Pikachu. What an incredible journey it's been! You really do deserve a good rest!

I can't wait to see what the new series brings!! (ALSO, certainly TPC isn't changing mascots! ...right??)
