Always the bridesmaid but never the bride, Pokemon Trainer and hero to us all, Ash Ketchum, has finally become a Pokemon League Champion.
Ash did away with his Pokemon League Championship drought — one that lasted more than 20 years — in the 139th episode of the Pokemon Sun and Moon anime series, taking the title of Pokemon League Champion in the Alola region contest.
Fans flocked to Twitter celebrate Ash’s new title of Pokemon Master.
