Ash Ketchum’s Top 10 Unbelievable Wins That Prove He’s a Pokémon Legend!

BBG News

Over the course of several seasons of the anime, Ash Ketchum worked hard to shake off his image as a perennial loser. Time and again, he suffered defeats in crucial battles – whether they were against other trainers or in Pokémon Leagues. Each time he managed to win, it was always satisfying to see.

As Ash Ketchum journeyed toward becoming the Pokémon Champion, he accomplished much and vanquished several renowned Trainers globally. Simultaneously, some of his triumphs served to shape him as an individual, or at least offered evidence of his personal development. His victories are a significant part of Ash Ketchum’s life story and mark the pinnacle moments in his career.

Pikachu Defeats a Legendary Pokémon for the First Time

From my perspective as a dedicated Pokémon fan, the Ever Grande Conference in the anime is hardly the most memorable Pokémon League experience. It lacked the thrilling battles that usually captivate us and, unfortunately, Ash didn’t advance beyond where he had before. But, there’s always a silver lining! This very tournament sets the stage for the Battle Frontier Arc.

This arc serves as a testament to the growth Ash has experienced during his Hoenn journey, particularly when it comes time for him to square off against Pyramid King Brandon. It’s in these challenges that we truly see the impact of his adventures and the strides he’s made as a Trainer.

In the majority of the Battle Frontier, Ash seldom faltered; however, it required him three attempts to conquer Brandon, who was at Elite Four level. His initial attempt was hampered by a supernatural takeover. Nevertheless, through his determination and the assistance of his original Kanto squad, he finally triumphed over Brandon and his Legendary Regice. This battle signified Pikachu’s first triumph over a Legendary Pokémon, though it didn’t equal defeating an actual Elite Four member, it showcased Ash’s growth in strength.

The Full Power of Ash-Greninja Takes Ash to the Lumiose Conference Finals

In the thrilling world of Pokémon XYZ, my bond with Greninja is the epicenter, and our tale reaches its climax during the exhilarating semifinals of the Lumiose Conference. Here, Greninja, my trusted teammates from Kalos, and I square off against none other than Ash’s former fanboy-turned-rival, Sawyer. As I’ve never advanced past this round in the past, and Sawyer has left me bruised after our last encounter, the tension is palpable. The outcome of this battle promises to shape not only my journey but the very essence of Ash and Greninja’s extraordinary adventure!

In the heart of the epic showdown, it was none other than my supercharged Ash-Greninja squaring off against Sawyer’s formidable Mega Sceptile! This clash was one for the record books in the anime world. Ultimately, my trusty Ash-Greninja emerged victorious, marking a significant milestone in his journey and forever strengthening our unbreakable bond. This battle not only resonated on an emotional level but also set the stage for an exciting new chapter in Ash’s career – propelling him towards the Pokémon League Finals for the very first time!

Ash Conquers the Orange League & Its Invincible Champion

Ash’s defeat against Ritchie during the Top 16 of the Indigo Plateau Conference is one of his most memorable and significant losses. After this encounter, during his journey in the Orange Islands, Ash aimed to rectify the errors that led him to his predestined loss. When he eventually faced Drake, the Champion of the Orange Crew, he had the opportunity to showcase just how much he had progressed.

Ash’s fight with Drake marks the inaugural six-versus-six battle in the anime, but it’s the conclusion of this battle that truly stands out. Despite all the buildup surrounding Drake and his seemingly indestructible Dragonite, it’s Pikachu who ultimately tips the scales in Ash’s favor and secures his win. This victory over Drake was a significant achievement for Ash, serving as his first major milestone and hinting at a unique potential within him as a Trainer.

Ash Proves He’s Worthy of a Place in the Masters Eight Tournament

Over and over again in the Pokémon series, Ash found himself going head-to-head against members of the Elite Four, only to suffer crushing defeats – be it against Agatha, Drake, or Flint. However, with his ambition set on making it to the Top 8 of the World Coronation Series, Ash was forced to change this pattern and conquer Drasna.

In Pokemon Journeys, Ash’s latest triumph against Kalos’ Dragon-type expert demonstrates the remarkable strength he has achieved. Although he might have earned the Champion title earlier, the challenges faced in claiming it were relatively small. A victory like this one is crucial for validating his presence among the Masters Eight, otherwise it would feel somewhat absurd.

Pikachu Defeats a Legendary Pokémon Even More Powerful Than Regice or Latios

Even after winning the Alola League Championship, Ash had one more bout left before departing from his beloved second home. In a unique exhibition duel, Ash squares off against Professor Kukui, Alola’s previous top Trainer. Unlike their past encounter with Gladion, Ash gets to unleash the complete potential of his Alola-trained team in this match.

In the peculiar circumstances surrounding Ash’s Alola League triumph, and given that Alola doesn’t have an Elite Four, Ash’s battle against Kukui was crucial for validating his new title. This battle also serves to conclude Tapu Koko’s storyline, as it joins the fight as Kukui’s final Pokémon, engaging in a climactic battle with Pikachu. Alongside his trusted companion, Ash not only demonstrates his skills as a top-tier Trainer, but also conquers another Legendary Pokémon.

Ash Finally Breaks Free of Living in His Rival’s Shadow

From an outside perspective, Ash’s triumph over Gary during the Silver Conference Top 16 may seem insignificant in the grand scheme of his career as a Trainer. However, for the young boy who had been constantly measured against Gary, this victory holds immense significance. Although they had previously competed in a Pokémon League where Ash outlasted Gary, it wasn’t until Ash’s Charizard bested Gary’s Blastoise that he finally managed to silence the lingering comparison between them.

Despite not being an overwhelming triumph, Ash’s victory showcases a significant advancement in his skills as a trainer. In the Indigo Plateau Conference, Ash was eliminated in the Top 16, primarily due to the limitations with Charizard. However, here, Ash has progressed to the Top 8, largely because of the marked improvement in his training techniques for Charizard.

Ash Makes It to the Semi-Finals of a Pokémon League for the First Time

To Ash, the outcome of this conference is just as significant for his personal growth as it is for his Trainer career. It’s a major milestone that after two consecutive Top 8 finishes in Pokémon Leagues, he managed to advance to the semi-finals of the Lily of the Valley Conference by overcoming Paul. Moreover, his impressive performance during the battle has made fans and even the writers question if they should prevent him from capturing the League title by introducing Tobias and his team of Legendary Pokémon.

From my perspective, Ash’s clash with Paul transcends mere trainer abilities; it’s a confrontation rooted in contrasting philosophies. Fresh from a devastating defeat at Lake Acuity, this battle serves as Ash’s opportunity to demonstrate to his Sinnoh adversary that compassion for Pokémon surpasses raw power. With Infernape spearheading the attack against his harsh ex-Trainer, Ash successfully validates his philosophy and emerges victorious over Paul’s aggressive Electivire.

Ash Defeats the Champion Long Held as the Strongest Trainer in the Series

In the “Pokémon Diamond and Pearl” series, Cynthia emerged as a recurring figure in Ash’s life among all other Champions. From the Sinnoh arc onwards, she was the one who seemed most formidable, serving as a significant benchmark for Ash in his journey. In the semifinals of the Masters Eight Tournament, Ash finds himself in a challenging situation where he must overcome his mentor to advance and face Leon.

Watching Ash square off against Cynthia was nothing short of exhilarating. The Sinnoh Champion pushed Alola’s Champion to the limit with each victory earned through her Pokémon. The grand finale between Ash’s Mega Lucario and Cynthia’s Garchomp was particularly captivating, both aesthetically and in terms of its impact on Lucario’s character development. In a surprising turn of events, Ash managed to outsmart Cynthia, leaving him feeling not only worthy of confronting Leon but also capable of giving him a formidable challenge.

Ash Becomes the Champion of the Alola Region

One reason Ash’s tale remained captivating over such a long period was the ongoing enthusiasm from fans, eager to witness him triumph in a Pokémon League. Though some believed his dream would be realized in Pokémon XY, it took an additional series for that moment to arrive. In the finale of Pokémon: Sun and Moon, Ash squares off against Gladion in the Manalo Conference and emerges victorious.

In certain aspects, the contest between Ash and Gladion might seem anticlimactic. The Manalo Conference lacks formidable opponents, with no Elite Four-level trainers present, and the battle is limited to a three-versus-three encounter. Nevertheless, it’s undeniable that Ash’s victory in the Pokémon League for the first time, and his ascension to Champion status, was a truly historic moment.

Ash Finally Becomes a Pokémon Master

Triumphs rarely get as significant as one that solidifies a Coach as unparalleled, surpassing any greatness seen before. In the finale of the Masters Eight Tournament, Ash competes against the world’s best Trainer, the indomitable Leon. Remarkably, despite being at a disadvantage, Ash and Pikachu outperform all predictions, ultimately emerging victorious.

The showdown between Ash and Leon marks the climax of Ash’s long journey. Despite his past struggles, he outdoes himself by employing Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, and even Gigantamaxing, showcasing abilities he honed in Kalos and Alola. The battle is visually stunning, filled with one thrilling encounter after another, and ultimately Ash emerges victorious over Leon’s Charizard, securing the title of Pokémon World Champion for himself.
