Experimenting with the dot brush
So it's all over uh? Im going to hecking cry, this boy built my entire childhood and the way I play and love my Pokémons, it's so hard to say goodbye as some song would say. At least Team Rocket won't give up on their everlasting dream of catching Pikachu.
Thanks Rica Matsumoto, you were the very best.
I missing ash pikachu so much
Heard a theory about Giovanni being Ash's dad and it just hit me how that explains why Team Rocket Trio Jessie, James and Meowth are constantly after him.
To be clear I don't think Giovanni planned to send the three after his son, that happened on its own, he found out about it shortly after it had started and is taking full advantage at it.
Now Giovanni knows the trio, he knows that at least when it comes to Ash they suck at stealing pokemon. So why doesn't he tell them to stop going after this kid's basic ass Pikachu, or if this Pikachu is so great assign somebody else to this kid.
Because he's Ash's dad, and unknown to everyone but them, Jessie, James, and Meowth are his babysitters.
Here's how it all went down;
Ash has a special talent for finding trouble and Giovanni likely found out about Pikachu's first episode issues with Ash from his mom. And later he finds out one of his teams went after them, so he looks into the trio.
Looking into them he is relieved to find out they aren't some of the actual cruel or genuinely evil members of the group. They are theatre kid evil, over dramatic, and while willing to steal pokemon they have a very weird and wholesome picture of what they think happens to them. And if they see someone trying to hurt someone human or pokemon, they will jump in to help. Hence why whenever he goes to a new region, Team Rocket is always convenient placed nearby and at the same time.
After the first few failed attempts at stealing Ash's pokemon, Giovanni is certain they won't ever actually succeed in ever stealing his son's pokemon. At max they screw him over time wise, but hey it's free training
So by having the three follow him, he gets regular updates on his sons whereabouts and condition. He can guarantee he has someone nearby if Ash is ever in real danger. And no one knows a damn thing about it, his family doesn't find out about his illegal activities, and his organization (and cops) don't find out about his family.
Pikachu cheek squish
(yea ik there are sooo many examples of this but i saw Iris's preview shots that werent in the main 'journeys trailer (x) and was reminded of this gif in my camera roll )
Today, on November 11, 2022, Ash Ketchum has finally fulfill his dreams! He became the very best like no one ever was! World Champion (Pokémon Master)!
I still remember (at age 14/15) when he first started out, the victories he won, the heartaches when he lost or let go of his pokémon, the friendships and companions he made, the journeys he travelled, all of it.
To me, Ash Ketchum isn't just a "cartoon" figure. He's so much more! He gave me 25 years long joy, happiness, sadness and friendship! Pokémon is one of the biggest highlights in my life and I will always cherish it, no matter how old I will be.
Congratulations, Ash & Pikachu! After 25 years, you truly deserve this! As a tribute, I made this drawing for them.
Thanx you, Ash Ketchum! To many more years, memories and victories! I love you!
