So some interesting anime news today. First:
Ash's mother and Mr. Mom ( yes this is intentional) are traveling to Alola with him. So like the games, does Ash actually move there?
What if they are like "We are going to meet your father! Then it's professor's oak's cousin. That be funny but probably not happening.
And Ash's official art actually looks good. Hopefully in final versions of the anime, he looks this good.
And finally the next two episodes of XY have been announced:
The Pokémon Fan magazine in Japan has revealed another pair of new episode titles, this time for the fourty-fifth & fourty-sixth episodes of Pokémon XY & Z. These episodes is set to air on October 13th and October 20th respectively. The first episode features Serena finally battling Ash, and the second features Ash encountering Team Flare Admin Xerosic.
Episode 941: One Last Battle with Ash! Serena's Choice!!
Episode 942: Farewell, Ash-Greninja! Xerosic Strikes Back!!
In the first, Serena has a final battle against Ash before making her decision about her future.
Second:
"Xerosic who escaped during the events of team flare, makes his move in an effort to strike back and fulfill lysandre's goal. Upon hearing this, Ash and Greninja rush into action to stop him!"
So they're probably pulling some bs where Xerosic does something to prevent Ash Greninja from happening again. Thus allowing Greninja to be left at Oak's without it feeling like their bond was nothing.
Which is sort of stupid, but I guess it will work. Could see an Arc in Sun and Moon where the power they have is regained possibly. Maybe to fight ultra beasts.
