Ash Ketchum is preparing to retire as the star of Pokemon’s anime adaptation, but before the new world champion and his trusty PIkachu bid a fond farewell to the television series to make way for two new trainers, classic characters from the anime’s past will be making a comeback. One of the first trainers that Ash will be reuniting with is the Water-type trainer known as Misty, who was one of Ketchum’s first friends that he made on his journey to become a Pokemon master and a new preview hints at the upcoming meeting.
