Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master

Now World Champion, Ash hits the road again and reunites with Misty and Brock, who travel with him one last time. The trio revisits places and Pokémon from the beginning of the story, and Ash meets old friends again, like the Butterfree he let go years earlier. Along the way he wonders what being a Pokémon Master means now that he's beaten everyone. The answer comes slowly: it's someone who can be friends with every Pokémon in the world. In the end, Misty and Brock head back to their hometowns, and Ash and Pikachu keep traveling on an endless journey, with Team Rocket still close by.
