Ash Ketchum and Pikachu have been the top trainer and top Pokemon in the anime series that has helped to introduce hundreds of pocket monsters over the years. With Ash becoming the new world champion during the Masters 8 Tournament, fans were shocked to learn that both Ketchum and Pikachu would be departing the series to introduce two new trainers to take the reins. Now, two English voice actors that brought Ash to life are sharing their thoughts and saying goodbye to their character.
This announcement has really surprised me. I am filled with so much emotion…I guess I’d never considered Ash’s journey ending. I need a minute to process…(This new beginning looks lovely.) https://t.co/OjhOTS5BNe
It’s been an extraordinary privilege to have been the English voice of Ash Ketchum for what will be 17 years. No matter what lies beyond his final chapter, he’ll live forever in the hearts of many generations to come. I’ll keep him present for all of us in every way I can. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/UZxPO4xD6E
