According to a new report shared by CentroLeaks, Ash Ketchum is expected to return as the main protagonist of the Pokémon anime. The information has quickly gained traction among fans, as Ash has been absent from the lead role since the conclusion of his long-running journey.
While The Pokémon Company has not made any official announcement, the leak suggests a major shift in the direction of the anime.
Serena Is Also Expected to Return
The same report states that Serena, one of the most popular companions from the Pokémon XY series, is also expected to return alongside Ash. Her potential comeback has sparked strong reactions online, especially among longtime fans of their storyline.
Original Voice Actors Would Reprise Their Roles
According to CentroLeaks, Sarah Natochenny would return as the English voice of Ash Ketchum, while Haven Paschall would once again voice Serena. If confirmed, this would mark a full return of the classic characters with their established English cast.
No Official Confirmation Yet
At this time, there has been no confirmation from The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, or TV Tokyo regarding Ash’s return. As with all leaks, this information should be treated as unconfirmed until an official statement is released.
Still, the report has reignited discussion about Ash’s future in the Pokémon anime and whether the series could shift focus once again after Pokémon Horizons.
