PEAK! Gabite FINALLY! Always felt he should've had one! Also LETS go NO Dynamax Band. Zano, PEAK. Just, PEAK! INFERNAPE THE GOAT 🔥

Dude not gonna lie, the final clash between Infernape & Garchomp, the use of music and the fact that both Gabite & Lucario's efforts were mentioned in order for Infernape to win, i got emotional. Congrats, this as of now is my favorite battle in your series. 😭

The Ash & Iris consoling moment hit me bro! The emotions were all there! Absolutely beautiful! And when Ash called HIMSELF a kid to make her feel better, it just feels full circle. 😢

Ayo? That talk between Leon & Raihan gave me shipping vibes lolol

A fantastic battle! Loved every moment! Also, the music choice in the end? Absolutely perfect!

@Zanolith hi Zano , sorry i know i said that the question i asked from the last tweet would be my final question, but then i just thought of more, I don’t even know how: 1) why didn’t you have ash’s gible evolve into a gabite before the masters 8? Like during a training episode? 2) how excited are you to show us not only the upcoming final battle, ash vs Leon, but the upcoming rainbow rocket arc?

Umm how did gardevoir go down to Dragon type move

the last battle must end with pikachu and charizard and with ash winning like in the anime

Had a great time bringing a voice to both Peony & Calyrex! This is such a fun & creative series & I'm proud to be part of it!

The battles were so hyped! I loved it!

HOLY FLIP!!!! THIS TRAILER IS AMAZING!!!

I hope we see Silver in this Pokemon Journeys Rewrite. I want to see Silver as an ally to Ash Ketchum and is a friend to Jimmy, Marina and Vincent. Also, it is revealed that Giovanni is the one responsible for giving Silver his Nidoking.

I want to see Serena as Ash Ketchum's love interest in this Pokemon Journeys Rewrite. Also, Serena's Pancham needs to evolve into Pangoro.

I checked the cast list before watching every episode to see if I was in it. Ironic that the one time I don't is when it happens. I thought "oh it's the Cynthia fight, I can just sit back and enjoy. There's no way I'm in thi... Wait, is that me?"

5:35 No offense but the way they're screaming or yelling, it sounds like they're trying to kill each other 😭good video tho

Awesome video! Loved how Ash used his Sinnoh Pokémon to take on Cynthia. Not gonna lie though, I’m curious as to how Gliscor would’ve done in the battle, if it was included, especially knowing that it bested a Regi from the Crowd Tundra 🤔 I’m glad Infernape finally got the closure it needed with Cynthia and Garchomp! It’s especially fitting, bot only because Ash envisioned himself battling Cynthia after watching her battle with Flint, but also because it technically battled Cynthia’s Garchomp all the way back as Paul’s Chimchar, and it was the first Pokémon he chose to battle Garchomp…(I don’t know what he was smoking at the time 😂). But now, as Ash’s Infernape, the same Chimchar finished what it started years ago 🔥 Infernape and Garchomp’s battle as their trainers’ first choices was what started their inevitable rivalry. They started it off as the first choices, and ended it as the final bosses. Speak of the devil, I’m glad Paul got to see the battle with Ash and Cynthia too! Something tells me that message of his wasn’t just for Ash, but for Infernape too 😁🔥

I had no problem beating Cynthia in brilliant diamond

Zan once again fixing the timeline never disappoints can't wait for the team rocket arc it gonna be lit 🐦‍🔥🐦‍🔥🐦‍🔥🐦‍🔥🐦‍🔥

Torterra still gets knocked out even in the rewrite 😭😭 but bro what a great video! paying true homage to DP with an incredible battle using his Sinnoh team. glad to see gible evolve too!

SUPER ULTRA HYPER AWESOME AND SPECTACULAR!!!! 😊👍🤩 This entire battle had me at the edge of my seat! I loved seeing Gible finally evolved, and gabite was amazing! Lucario and infernape were PEAK EPIC!!! But infernape vs garchomp was SUPER ULTRA PEAK FICTION!!!! I’m super psyched for ash vs Leon, and team rocket,s evil plan. 👍😊🔥

That was awesome! Cynthia was an absolute menace, and Ash really had to think on his feet in order to come out on top. Bit strange how Garchomp dodged a move that can't miss, but it's the anime, so whatever. Infernape Vs Mega Garchomp was hype, with the victory feeling like a huge payoff. And that choice of thumbnail for Cynthia doesn't hurt either. Great episode, and I know that the next one is going to be explosive!

Here is a wasted plot for Pokemon Journeys that needed to be used in your Pokemon Journeys Rewrite: At its core, Aim To Be A Pokémon Master had everything it needed to be the ultimate send-off to Ash as the lead protagonist: Brock and Misty would rejoin him on his travels, he would start bringing back all of his old Pokémon after years of them sitting at Oak's Lab, and he would go about seeing the world fresh off his victory against Leon and becoming World Monarch. However, none of this farewell was followed up in a way that satisfied fans; much of the show dedicated itself to being a throwback to The Original Series by mostly being Filler episodes designed to tonally and spiritually homage the first few seasons and little else. By the end of it, Ash only got to reunite with Squirtle and Lapras while only adding Pidgeot back to his team and no one else (not even Primeape, who hadn't been seen outside of flashbacks for 25 years), many of said Pokémon who did come back got little to do aside from being involved in the plot of the various episodes, Ash never got to reunite with any of his other companions besides Cilan and Tracey, any potential follow through of him and Misty or Serena taking up a relationship that was previously teased never happened, and even the split-up of Team Rocket was undone within a few episodes, leaving them to continue following him until the end of time rather than Ash finally defeating Giovanni and disbanding the group for good. Worst yet, the series ends with Ash not becoming a Pokémon Master like the title implied, let alone rarely being acknowledged as the World Monarch, leaving things far too open ended for what was supposed to be his farewell. While it's likely that there are plans for Ash's story to continue-either as a movienote or to have him guest star on Pokémon Horizons: The Series-the end result left fans disappointed that, unlike other "farewells" such as Star Trek: Picard Season 3 or Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, he wasn't given proper closure. **Team Rocket in particular is a major sticking note. In Episode 9, they get into a major fight and break up, left working a menial cafeteria job that's taking a toll on them. You would think after so long, this would be the tipping point that convinces them, "Hey, it's not worth stealing Pikachu when all it's done is make you so miserable", right? Nope! They get back together again two episodes later, deciding it's worth trying to take Pikachu even if they never succeed. Naturally, fans weren't happy that the infamous trio never learned their lesson that Being Evil Sucks, and would rather waste their lives in this endless game of chase than truly accomplish something meaningful.

I really like the detail that Ash fought Cynthia with his Sinnoh team. It feels right for the Sinnoh team to help take down the Sinnoh champion.

Really had to waste Torterra?

Poor Ash. He never captured the legendary pokemon, and now Liko has outdone him by catching Terapagos.🤣 The Pokemon Campany is really strange at times, and this change is for the better.

Its amazing to see Ash's ace partner from "Diamond and Pearl" taking out Cynthia's undefeated Garchomp for a change, although I don't understand why you made Iris vs. Leon a 3v3 match while Ash vs. Cynthia is a full battle for the semifinals, but I have a very strong feeling that Giovanni is about to unleash his most evil plan yet for world domination which even shocked Chairman Rose.

Great episode! Still bitter about how Ash didn’t catch a single Galar Pokémon, but I won’t let that affect me too much.

Also Why haven't this one been added to the TV Tropes Pages for your Zanoverse Series yet? Although the other ones definitely needs more Tropes, Pages And Character Sheets added to them too.

Imagine if the writers of Journeys went this route? The reactions would have been absolutely chaotic and insane. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. 🦃

Awesome Job with the Semifinals Battle but did you really have to do Torterra like that? Hmmm Giovanni's Plan is a Army or is there something more that we're still not seeing yet?

If only Barry alongside his father Palmer, Cynthia's grandmother, Professor Rowan, Paul's brother, Sinnoh's Gym Leaders, and Elite Four were shown watching this. 🤩

I'm utterly shocked by how insane this alternate battle is from the original canonical version. You paid true tribute homage to the fans of Generation 4. Bravo, Zanolith. 👏

Ash vs Cynthia is peak

Alright got the alright the trio is back. Also I really am still thinking that Team Rainbow Rocket will be part of this somehow.

the team Ash should used against Leon should be 1. Pikachu 2. Charizard 3. Lucario 4. Sceptile 5. Lycanroc 6. Greninja

HELL YEAH GABITE

This battle was very satisfying and the fact that Ash used his Sinnoh team and that Infernape was the one to defeat Cynthia's Garchomp is a perfect conclusion to Infernape's arc that began in the Sinnoh saga.

This battle was 10 times better than the original, and really fits with what was teased back in Diamond and Pearl!

My version of Ash vs Cynthia Cynthia’s team: Garchomp (Mega), Lucario, Togekiss, Roserade, Milotic, Spiritomb Ash’s team: Pikachu, Infernape, Lucario (Mega), Sceptile, Greninja, Garchomp Final matchup, Cynthia’s mega Garchomp vs Ash’s Blaze powered Infernape.

RIP Torterra 😂😂😂

Awesome vidoe

8:40 Immediate Blaze? That's illegal...

THAT'S RIGHT HE'S THE GOAT, THE GOAT!!!!!!!

What ab great battle. I am a bit sad, that Lucario didn't have the final blow, but Infernape had deserved this one ❤

Hey Zanolith if you ever think about making a rewrite on Pokémon Horizons now sure you have better things to do, but if you could, it could be interesting and that Liko Roy and Dot would be Teenagers Liko could be 18 years old Roy could be 17 years old and Dot could be 19 years old

Hey Zanolith honest question how would your version of Ash Ketchum fair against Zactoshi’s version of Ash i’m pretty sure both versions of Ash will become pretty good Friends but how one of them were fair in a battle if they ever met could be interesting

Ranking Ash’s Ace Pokémon from worst to best Number 9 Harcross Number 8 Sceptile Number 7 Samurott Number 6 Infernape Number 5 Lycanroc Number 4 Lucario Number 3 Charizard Number 2 Pikachu Number 1 Greninja

@Zanolith this episode was so much better than the original. But most importantly, you gave us the battle that the original series never gave us, infernape vs garchomp. This battle has been set up for so long and the fact that this never happened in the original is a huge missed opportunity, so im glad you made it happened. ❤ also one last question: ( hopefully) will ash use all his aces from past regions against Leon? I mean it’s obvious he should since it’s the last tournament he’s entering and since this is his final chapter. This would also make the perfect culmination of his whole journey. Again thank you ❤
