Pokemon Journeys: The Series offered a new look at Ash Ketchum and Gary Oak’s past with a flashback in the newest episode! Pokemon Journeys has been a major walk down memory lane for both Ash and fans of the series as the newest iteration of the anime has opened up the franchise to the entire selection of past regions Ash has previously explored. This has led to a number of big reunions with familiar faces in previous episodes, and the newest finally brought him back together with his biggest and long time rival, Gary.
The flashbacks in today’s episode couldn’t have been more perfect. They gave us a brief recap of Ash and Gary’s past and showed two iconic scenes from both the Johto and Sinnoh League! If they’re trying to make me cry they succeed! 😭 #anipoke

Journeys upping the game with the flashbacks makes future possibilities exciting. Iris episode having 3 was a surprise in itself, so every chance we might get more than one in the next episode. Maybe an Infernape one when Ash and Go search for it.. that’d be cool. #Anipoke pic.twitter.com/gPiuwlLTXB
