Ash Ketchum is FINALLY a Pokémon League champion and fans are going bonkers
Ash Ketchum is finally a winner.
After more than two decades of struggles and near-misses in the Pokémon League, Ash finally scored himself a championship trophy. It happened in the latest episode as the Alolan League came to a close, more than 1,000 episodes into the long-running anime.
The race to the championship led Ash into a showdown against his friend, Gladion. Their dramatic match-up pitted two Lycanroc Pokémon against one another, and Ash pulled out a win in the end.
