  • Greetings, my comrades, and welcome back to Zanolith. The Pokemon anime's latest installment, Aim To Be A Pokemon Master, concludes the character arc of Ash Ketchum, the anime's protagonist for the last 25 years. However, this series has been disappointing to me and many other fans and hasn't delivered the conclusion fans have been waiting for. Therefore, today I set out to rewrite Ash's final journey; let's go!

    Right off the bat, I like that you handled the Gary and Ash interaction at the beginning, because it really helps to set the stage for Ash's thinking, like his noticing of Cynthia's outside interests besides being a Champion. Foreshadowing for Team Rocket's operations also being in the second episode fit well, as it helps to build tension, instead of just having them appear randomly at the end.
    Ash's companions getting closure, like Cilan who wants 'something more', and Serena coming to realize her dreams is also something MPM should've done, as it was the last time we would've been seeing them. If we know how Ash is going out, we should've at least learned how everyone else was doing.
    And the ending where Ash and Gary stand on top of Mt. Silver is just the most ideal way to go out. Not only does it reference Red atop the mountain, but it's just Ash and Gary, the two people who started out as bitter rivals, but slowly became close friends.
    Overall, this really is the most proper way to send Ash off, tying up all loose ends, and having Ash actually become a Pokemon Master.
    Great job, I really liked it!

    • @DarkEclipse23
      @DarkEclipse23 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think there were many issues though. the major being in that they made... the dumb decision to never age Ash. Seeing your protagonist age isn't new in anime or manga. We've seen Yugi, Ed, and Goku all physically age until they've reached their goal (Prior to spin-offs and a desire for a sequel to Dragon b all). Keeping Ash physically etc. "10" basically meant he completed his goal in less than a year when in reality it was at least six years.
      It would've been entirely stupid and plenty of people would have complained how he completed his goal in... less than a year (Which is already proven false by the time Ash received his Earth badge in Kanto).
      Part of it may be that they're backed in to the stupid corner they put themselves in, and the other. They're keeping Ash as a safety net.
      It's no secret that despite some toxic fans, Ash and Pikachu are VERY popular in terms of anime, so shelving him off is their way of both 'ending' his journey while keeping it going, and putting it off temporarily incase the new anime doesn't do well.
      Whether or not Horizons is going to be 'another' 25 year series is yet to be told, but It's possible. Chances are they're testing the waters, and if all else fails, they'll just drag Ash back into the spotlight for a movie or something. However, the pokemon team are 'experts' in dragging out a game for roughly 50 episodes, perhaps even more considering Hoenn had an extra season 9 where the entirety of it was the Battle Frontier. Hell, Kanto lasted 1.3 seasons, with both the Orange Islands AND the prologue to Johto filling up the rest of Season 2.

    I really like how Gary asks Ash about being a Pokémon Master in the FIRST episode instead of it being the LAST episode.
    While just going on a journey just to travel is alright, travelling for a purpose does help the story flow better and makes it feel less like the characters are just going wherever the heck they’re going.
    I totally agree with you on how the travelling we saw in the final episodes is more of the same thing, and I feel like for Ash Ketchum’s final season, it shouldn’t be just that.

      To be honest, guys, I hope Ash will NOT return in Pokemon Horizons, neither as a kid nor as an adult. Why? Because I think the guy had enough screentime already, and because I think it's time for him to settle down. That's why I was actually dissapointed of the final episode of the series ,,The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!'' because technically it WASN'T a final. He just set of on a new journey, which was a pretty unsatisfying finish to Ash's arc. Ash didn't stopped travelling, Team Rocket didn't got defeated for good, no things I would have expected from an ending were featured. Ash traveled for so long and left an unmissible mark in Pokemon History. So I say it's time for him to retire from traveling and lead a farely normal life. That's why I wrote my own finish story, which not only sees Ash retiring from traveling for good, but also solves one of the biggest mysteries surrounding Ash. You want to know it? Here it is:
      Not long after Ash and Pikachu left Pallet Town after the final episode, they stop at a Pokemon Center. Among those present is a man seated at a table, staring out the window over a hot drink. After Ash entered the center, the man gave him a quick look and then seemed quite shocked. Not long after Ash left the Pokemon Center, he was ambushed by Team Rocket. When it looked like they might be able to escape with Pikachu, the man in the center intervened with a shiftry and Team Rocket blasted off. After Ash thanked the stranger, he asked his name. The man reluctantly replied that his name was Mark Ketchum. Ash reacts with shock. The man notices this and pulls a photo out of his pocket. It shows himself and Delia Ketchum, Ash's mother, happily in each other's arms. When Ash was about to cry out, Mark stopped him and said he would explain everything to him, but in a different place. Back at the Pokemon Center, the man confirms that he is Ash's father. Ash is still confused and burning with questions. Mark begins to explain: Like Ash after him, he went on a Pokemon journey before Ash was born. It didn't go well for him for a long time though. Still, he refused to give up. He was just as enthusiastic and stubborn as Ash. But that all changed when Delia told him she was pregnant. Mark hesitated for a long time about what to do, continue his journey, or return home. Finally, he explained to Delia that he would return as soon as possible. At that point, he still believed those words himself. But as with Ash, one journey followed another, and then another, and another, and so on. And so the weeks became months and the months became years. When Mark found out that Ash had traveled himself, it was a shock for him because it was only at that moment that he realized how much time had passed. He realized he had suffered the worst punishment a father could have suffered: not being there for his son, not seeing his own child grow up. But he was also reluctant to return to Pallet Town, thinking that Delia despised him for not keeping his promise, that she wanted nothing more to do with him, and that she would refuse him to see his son. So he traveled on. From then on, not a day went by that he didn't wish he could return to Pallet Town to finally see his son. And with each of Ash's fights he watched on TV, his sadness, guilt, and longing grew. He had hoped that he would meet Ash on his journey, but somehow they always missed each other. A while ago, when Mark saw Ash's victory at the Coronation World Championship, he realized that his son had made the dream come true that he had been chasing for years. From then on, Ash's father didn't care. He didn't care about the title of Pokemon Master, he didn't care how Delia would react to him, he just wanted to be back with his family. He told Ash that he didn't want to be a Pokemon Master anymore, he wanted to be a father, he wanted to have a son, a family that he could love and who loved him. He also said that he would have traded a thousand Pokemon-Master-Titles for every single day he could have spent with his son. He was almost to Pallet Town when he saw Ash in the Pokemon Center. Since he had followed all his fights, he recognized him immediately. And now they are sitting here. As he spoke, Mark Ketchum cried. Ash couldn't hold back his tears either. When Mark asks Ash if he could ever forgive him for not being with him for the first ten years of his life, he hugs his father and immediately forgives him. Afterwards, Ash is on his way back to Pallet Town with his father. Touched by his father's story, Ash realizes that he already left his mark on Pokemon history and that he's retiring from traveling to devote more time to his family, which he's neglected for far too long. Delia was surprised to see Ash back so early since he had only just left. But when she saw who he had brought, she dropped the plate she was holding in her shock. For a while Mr. and Mrs. Ketchum just stared at each other. But then Delia fell into Mark's arms in tears and cried with joy. After she calmed down a bit, Mark said that he and Ash would stay in Pallet Town as they had a lot of catching up to do.
      This story solves many of the logic gaps in Pokemon: For example, even if Delia is acting encouraging of Ash's journey, I can't imagine, she is not depressed of how little time the two of them have to spend together since he started his journey. I know my mom would get a nervous breakdown. Besides, if you travel around your whole life, you miss time you could and should have spend with your beloved ones and not return to find out they all passed away. I know this would be a pretty dramatic and bitter thing, which could be the reason why the characters do not appear to age throughout the series, but from a realistic point of view, being on a Pokemon journey your whole life is not a realistic or good thing. As for Ash's father, even if he wasn't mentioned in the anime that often, I can't imagine Ash never wandered where he was or why he didn't met him. And I also can't imagine that Ash's father never had any pangs of conscience for not being their for his son. I mean, what kind of father would he be if he hadn't? Not a good one, that's for sure. And I wanted Ash to realize not doing the same thing. That he, if he will have children of his own one day, he will be there for them and see them grow up, like a good father. So this is my personal end for the Pokemon Anime. Tell me your opinion about it if you like, I would be very interested in it. Until the next video! See ya!

  • @guspeixoto7740
    @guspeixoto7740 ปีที่แล้ว +68

    My favourite part about this whole rewrite is how open-ended everything is: Max’s own Journey, Cilan possibly going beyond an S-Class Connoisseur, May, Dawn, and Serena working toward their goals, Ash and Serena’s relationship and if they’ll be together or not, Iris realizing she’s not falling behind, Greninja might STILL not be done with those stupid vines, and what the Team Rocket trio will do now that they’re done with the organization.
    These characters stories end with a sense of ambiguity. It doesn’t give a definitive ending to these characters, but it allows us as the audience to come to our own conclusion on everything. I do have some nitpicks(I wish Greninja rejoined Ash as in fully recaught, I would’ve kept Ash reuniting with Pidgeot, and I wish Dawn and Serena met and interacted slightly), but I am satisfied with what we got.
    Best Wishes, Ash Ketchum.

    Overall I enjoyed it just think their should be some small changes to make it even better.
    At the end credit Giovanni is recruiting allies to help take over the Region with each one taking a region. With them and the grunts wearing a modified outfit but in black with R with it. Making the anime version of Rainbow Rocket alongside making Team Rocket Strike Back a 4 parts. With the first episode being the surprise attack of villains. the second being the champions struggling the villains. The 3rd having Ash past rivals that we didn't meet during assisting the champions to defeat the villain, with the 4th part beating the villains and saving the day. I wanted it a 4 parts to have a better pace and have some dialogue between the characters. Doesn't need to show the full fight of the other champions, just show that they are having difficulty, then getting the assistance to defeat the villain.
    Kanto- Giovanni vs Ash, Jessie, James and Moewth
    Johto- Dr. Namba vs Lance, Ritchie and Drake (Orange Island)
    Hoenn - Maxie and Archie vs Steven, Wallace, Harrison and Tyson
    Sinnoh - Mars, Jupiter and Saturn vs Cynthia, Paul and Tobias
    Unova - Ghetsis Vs Iris, Trip, and Virgil
    Kalos - Lysandre vs Diantha, Sawyer, and Tierno

    I think the canon series and this one both have great elements and a mixture of both could have been nice. Your version is great because we get to see more companions one last time, something that was very lacking in the canon show. And the actual show was great in that we got to see a lot of Ash's Pokémon one last time, something I felt was rather lacking here (no offense). This one was also very action packed, while the other was a bit slower and down to earth. Again, both are nice. But I think what I liked about your version more is that you have Ash realize that he is and always had been a Pokémon Master. That was something I think the show should have done, rather than just having Ash continue on what is essentially an aimless goal. Overall, great video.

    I also like how you handled Ash’s reunion with Serena, having him address her feelings about him. I also love how you ended the final episode, with Ash getting ready to battle someone. I also love how you made Cilan more interesting, and having Ash and greninja finally beat Alain.
    Overall, this is a lot better than what we got in Aim to be a Pokémon Master. Although it has its moments, what you did here is more unique and interesting.

      Not true. Ash is not coming back. There won't be an movie like that. But I created an Ash and Misty in the Paldea Region as them as boyfriend and girlfriend with just the 2 of them. I can't post the picture though. But they wear new outfits there. So they'll be an cute couple like them and not Serena. Ash and Misty are the couple not Ash and Serena, it's too late. It's on deviantart. Also I'm making an story about it. It's so romantic. Ash and Misty will be going to the Paldea Region just the 2 of them on a date as they holds hands, make out, hug each other, make other blush and Ash does cute and romantic things for Misty. That's an comeback for Ash but with just bringing Misty. A love story in the Paldea Region with Ash and Misty.

    I like to think Oak gave Ash that portable box system the player has in Lets Go onward. How else could he have his reserves at the ready?
    "Hey are you a Pokemon master yet?"
    "Idk, lemme check
    Cilan is S Class? But he wants to go further? SSS Class confirmed BAYBEEEEEEEEEEE
    I'm glad you handled Serena and her relationship with Ash the way you did. Tastefully ambiguous. Most others would have them start dating right there. They're 10.
    "Screw being Champion, dead peoples drawings of Lord Llama's disciples is where it's at"
    "Yas Queen"
    Finally making that one opening come true with Cinderace v Lucario. Also love how Ash reminds Iris there's room to grow. Definitely got that from Leon.
    "Hey Alain, why did the Ninja Frog come back to me? To see you croak."
    Wait until Lei grows up and hears how his big brother Ash was blessed by every God in his religion because he made it look cool.
    Leon may not be an undefeated challenger, but he's still technically an "undefeated" champion. I'd imagine if Ash was aged up, he'd act just like Leon. If anything, Leon is clearly designed to be if a Pokemon protagonist grew up.
    I just realized Ash's last interaction with Brock and Misty us telling them to protect their homes. I'm sad now.
    I don't know why disbanding Team Rocket never happened in canon. They really serve no purpose anymore.
    "What makes me a Pokemon Master is the friends I made along the way" this is the only time I will accept this cliche. It's so perfectly in line with Pokemon.
    An older Ash? I bet he has the best worn out shoes around. 😊

    Near FLAWLESS rewrite. Far better than what we Actually got in MPM
    Only things I’d change, are having Greninja complete its mission in the fight with Alain, and going back with Ash(same way Pidgeot would in the actual show), throw in a little throwaway line about Nebby being caught at the party in Alola(adds the Kalos ace, and Ash’s first legendary to the fight with Giovanni. Yeah I know Nebby isn’t an Ace, but I feel that Nebby’s inclusion would be more climactic. Plus, there are still debates on whether Incineroar or Lycanroc are the Alola Ace), and Ash’s realization about what a Pokémon Master is, to correlate it with Leon’s episode, and the climax with Giovanni. Here’s a little thing I wrote of what I had in mind
    “As Ash gazed into the near infinite horizon Mt. Silver had on display, he spoke to Gary, with a rather heartfelt tone to his voice. “I was never journeying to become a Pokémon Master. I was journeying to become More of a Pokémon Master. I’ve made so many friends on my journey, and it’s because of them that I became World Champion” he said before turning to Gary, who felt rather stunned at how profound his old rival’s words were. “That Giovanni guy, he was too focused on pure strength to accomplish anything. Real strength comes from the bonds you form” Ash continued, redirecting his gaze to the Pokémon that’s been sitting on his shoulder since the very beginning. Pikachu was living proof of Ash’s ideology, managing to defeat the World Champion, and the World’s most Powerful Pokemon without even evolving. “And I wanna get stronger and stronger, and make more friends along the way. I want to be someone that can give the opportunity to be champions, to Every Pokemon in the world, regardless of how strong or weak they are. That’s what I believe a Pokémon Master is” the boy finished, putting his fist to his heart. Gary could do nothing but nod softly, and smirk. “You did good kid, you did good” he said with a smug tone to his voice. “Hey, I’m no kid anymore” Ash replied playfully, revealing a Pokeball in his hands, accepting Gary’s challenge for a rematch”

    @magnaknight9252 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I honestly think there are a couple of things that should have given him a proper send-off.
    1. Make him a strong trainer who is difficult for other trainers to face him in battle, and continue training his Pokémon and evolving them like his Gible.
    2. Get rid of Team Rocket. The Team Rocket Trio has been following Ash for years. You would think he is sick and tired of them chasing after him so they can capture his Pikachu, which there is nothing rare about him other than being trained. After all, Ash and his friends have destroyed every known evil organization in the franchise. So, why don't the writers get rid of Team Rocket? You would think if Team Rocket is gone, then the trio would stop following Ash.
    3. Reunite with some of the Pokémon he released, like Greninja and Goodra, so they can rejoin him on his journey like his Pidgeot and capture some legendary Pokémon like Latios and Latias on his team. I mean, there are so many legendary Pokémon Ash has met on his journey that can be perfect to be a part of his team. If someone as horrible as Goh should have a legendary Pokémon in his collection. Then why can't Ash?
    4. Ash should do something else in his life. He could be an Aura Guardian. After all, Ash now has a Lucario of his own, who is like a spiritual successor to Sir Aaron Lucario and that aura sphere Riolu. Not to mention, he is one of the only few people who can use Aura. Ash could also be a Pokémon Ranger. I mean, he loves rescuing Pokémon and always helping to protect nature, so this could be a perfect job for him. He could be a Battle Frontier. I mean, he was offered to become a Frontier Brain.
    5. Marrying Serena or any other girls he had a relationship with. Another example of being a proper send-off is settling down with someone, and he could have his own family.

    9 episodes of filler and some bait to thinking that ash will finally catch a legend and then end it off with saying that this isn't actually Ash's ending
