Pokemon's Ash And Pikachu Flashbacks Have Begun, And Fans Aren't Ready

Pokemon fans outside of Japan haven't been forced to start saying goodbye to Ash and Pikachu yet. However, the OG Pokemon trainer's final run of episodes is already halfway done in Japan, and a montage from the most recent episode showcasing Ash and Pikachu's best moments has really struck a chord.

Naturally if you're waiting for the episodes to air in the west to avoid spoilers, you might want to stop reading here. The latest episode to air in Japan focuses on Ash and Pikachu getting separated (thanks, Comicbook), something that has happened pretty often over the years. A Team Rocket explosion takes Pikachu away from his trainer, forcing him to team up with the enemies' Meowth who might well be the Pokemon he has battled most throughout his run.

Though separate, Ash and Pikachu are clearly connected as they both stare up at the moon at the same time. If Pikachu clutching Ash's hat doesn't pull at your heartstrings, the montage that proceeds to play on the moon probably will. A selection of famous Ash and Pikachu moments from throughout their 25-year run as the anime's lead characters.

It begins with the first time the two of them ever met. Ash showing up late to pick up his starter Pokemon in episode one and being given a troublesome Pikachu who then electrocutes him. It also shows the pair fleeing from a flock of angry Spearow which Pikachu eventually fights off to protect his new trainer, and the world's most famous Pokemon refusing Ash's thunder stone offer when he tries to aid his recovery.

After Ash's final run comes to an end, a new series focused on Paldea will air starting on April 14. The anime's new protagonist will be a character called Liko who fans currently know very little about. Liko will be joined by Roy who hails from Kanto and will bring a new Pokeball to the series. An air date for Ash's final run, and a debut date for the new series, outside of Japan hasn't been revealed.

Asian shares have fallen after a short-lived armed rebellion in Russia added to uncertainties over the war in Ukraine TOKYO -- Asian shares fell Monday after a short-lived armed rebellion in Russia added to uncertainties over the war in Ukraine. Benchmarks declined in Tokyo, Sydney Hong Kong and Shanghai, but rose in Seoul. The rebellion by mercenary soldiers who briefly took over a Russian Military headquarters on an ominous march toward Moscow was over. But the brief weakened President Vladimir Putin just as his forces were facing a fierce counteroffensive in Ukraine. Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagner troops were some of Russia’s most effective fighters in Ukraine. Their aborted takeover of the capital also left their fate uncertain. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 lost nearly 0.3% to finish at 32,698.81. South Korea's Kospi rose 0.5% to 2,582.20.

Rasmus Hojlund teases Man Utd debut with latest injury update

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has given fans hope that his delayed debut following a big money transfer could be coming sooner rather than later. Hojlund completed a move from Atalanta at the start of August that could eventually reached £72m and was presented to the Old Trafford crowd on the pitch ahead of the pre-season win over Lens. But the Dane has yet been able to get on the pitch properly, forced to miss Monday night's 2023/24 season opener against Wolves won with a solitary Raphael Varane header. That is due to an injury he was already carrying from pre-season with his former club. United did not disclose the exact nature of the problem when the club addressed it, but described it as only "small" and placed a loose time frame of a "few weeks" on Hojlund’s recovery. The 20-year-old has teased that he might not be sidelined for too much longer, sharing a training image on his Instagram stories with both devil and 'soon' emojis. United
