My 25 best Pokemon anime moments

April 1, 2022, marks the 25th anniversary of the Pokemon anime series as on this day, the very first episode of the Pokemon TV series aired on TV Tokyo. The episode where Satoshi (Ash) first met Pikachu and began their journey. For eight regions and over a thousand episodes later, their bonding is stronger than time itself. In honor of such an occasion, now is the time to jot down my top 25 best Pokemon anime moments.

HOLD IT! May contain the s-words so please binge-watch the entire series first!

25) Ash is so pumped up for the showdown against Celadon Gym Leader Erika. The problem is, he got kicked out because he felt disgusted over the pricey perfume, which turned out it was made from the gym itself. This is the episode where Ash turned himself into Ashley.

24) Iris's Emolga became part of Team Rocket? A certain episode from Adventures in Unova and Beyond saw our lovable Electric-and-Flying-Type Pokemon end up being with the bad guys. Turns out, this Emolga's pretending to be with them just so it can patch things up with Iris.

23) A Diamond and Pearl episode saw Ash, Brock, and Dawn end up in a middle of a mysterious place where all of their dreams come true. Turns out, this little dream they're in is a trap set up by a Ghost-type Pokemon named Mismagius. With Ash and Dawn trapped in their whims, Brock and his Croagunk are trying to snap them out of it. With the gang back from their senses, they team up to defeat Mismagius.

22) Ash's first and only Shiny Pokemon caught in the TV series is a Noctowl and a certain episode of The Johto Journeys saw the gang encounter a Noctowl with a different color. Having struggled to break through its hypnosis, Ash and the gang pulled all the stops to capture this elusive Noctowl.

21) Escaped from the sunken S.S. Anne but got wiped out by a Gyarados, Ash and his pals, including Team Rocket, got their Pokemon pals separated on a mysterious island...inhabited by giant Pokemon. Struggling to get together, the group settles their differences and works together to reunite with their respective human friends. It wasn't easy...but it's downright hilarious.

20) The episode where Ash said goodbye to his Butterfree is the saddest moment in Pokemon anime history as after saving a flock of Butterfree from the clutches of Team Rocket, Ash bid his Pokemon friend goodbye as his Butterfree is flying happily with the flock.

19) The secret origin of Meowth's uncovered in a Pokemon episode where we get to learn more about how Meowth talked. Following his heartbreak with a female Meowth named Meowsie, our least-lovable feline went through greater heights and began learning how to talk in a human language. This is the Meowth everybody loves to hate.

18) When Ash got sick, Clemont and Bonnie set off to find some medicine for Ash, and a Pikachu trainer is challenging Ash, what would Serena do? Pretend to be Ash! How hard can it be?!

17) The moment where Ash told his Charizard to go is by no means one of the most heartbreaking moments in Pokemon anime history.

16) The Pokemon Journeys episode where Goh's Magikarp enters the contest for the highest splash done by a Magikarp is by no means the most hilarious moment. Where does Goh's Magikarp head to after a spectacular Splash...no one knows? Oh wait, it ended up on the island of Slowpoke where Ash and Goh got their heads stuck by Slowking's Shellder. That splash is out of this world...literally.

15) Following her heartbreaking defeat at her Pokemon Contest debut, Serena vowed to her Pokemon friends to do better. This is where we get to see Serena's new look from the end of a certain XY episode.

14) The Cosplay Pikachu episode from Kalos Quest is proof we all love Pikachu, no matter the look. The episode saw Ash and friends fulfill a director's dream to create the perfect movie starring none other than Pikachu. This is where different versions of Cosplay Pikachu came in.

13) The beginning of the legend. Ash's encounter with Pikachu from the first Pokemon anime episode signaled the start of his dream. Normally, Ash would have picked one of the starters but because he arrived late, he got none until Pikachu came and an electric shock from Pikachu is a welcoming treat for Ash. The two struggle to get to know each other but after one mishap after another, well, this is the start of the legend. The story of Ash and Pikachu has begun.

12) The showdown between Ash and the rest of Kalos against Team Flare boss Lysandre reached its climax and the episode showcased Zygarde in its Complete Form. Unleashing its Core Enforcer attack, Lysandre's reign of terror is finally over and the Kalos region is saved.

11) The final episode of the Advanced saga saw the contest showdown between Ash's Sceptile and May's Blaziken end in a draw. After an explosive battle, Ash bids farewell to May and returns to Pallet Town. His little homecoming got interrupted when he was challenged by Gary. After Ash's Pikachu got knocked out by Gary's Electivire, it's a clear sign that Ash's prepared for his Sinnoh adventure.

10) Having lost to Vermillion Gym Leader Lt. Surge's Raichu, Ash has a choice. Will he evolve his Pikachu to a Raichu with the Thunder Stone and risk losing the Pikachu he loved? As a matter of fact, Ash's Pikachu wanted to stay like this and Ash agreed. Relying on Pikachu's strength, it appears the lesser one has trumped the greater one. Ash's Pikachu defeated Lt. Surge's Raichu.

9) The Pokemon School's having a stage play with Lillie the star of the play. The problem is, Team Rocket crashes the show, and with the change of plans, Ash and the gang are putting a hilarious twist on their stage play to save the day. Too many references involved.

8) Ultra Guardians vs. Necrozma. The ultra showdown determines the fate of the Alola Region. As the whole Alola unites to feed Necrozma, Ash and Gladion team up with Solgaleo and Lunala to finish it with the legends' Z-moves Searing Sunraze Smash and Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom. Peace has been restored in the Alola region but with every day saved comes a bittersweet farewell as Ash bids farewell to Poipole as it returns to its homeworld.

7) Sinnoh Pokemon League. Ash's Infernape vs. Paul's Electivire. One of the most memorable battles in Pokemon anime history. Just as we thought Ash's Infernape is defeated, all that taunting from Paul and Electivire caused Ash's Infernape to unleash its true power. With a final Flare Blitz gambit from Ash's Infernape, Paul's Electivire is down and Ash and Infernape won.

6) The showdown between Team Rocket's Mimikyu and Ash's Pikachu in the abandoned mart is the most intense Sun and Moon moment. When Team Rocket's Mimikyu unleashes the Z-move, Let's Snuggle Forever, we might think this could spell the end of Ash's Pikachu but thankfully, Ash's Pikachu learned Electroweb in the nick of time, giving Ash's Pikachu the opportunity to use 10,000,000-Volt Thunderbolt to defeat Mimikyu.

5) The showdown against Eternatus is by no means one of the coolest moments in Pokemon anime history. With Ash's Riolu evolving into Lucario during a battle against Chairman Rose and Goh's Raboot evolving into Cinderace, the two boys face off against the wrath of Eternatus. With help from the legendary Zacian and Zamazenta, Goh and Ash succeeded in capturing the biggest threat of all.

4) The end of the XY saga saw Ash bid farewell to Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena. The memorable moment before Ash's Kalos adventure ended is what Serena did to Ash. Whatever she did to Ash before saying goodbye to him...there are no words to describe it.

3) The showdown between Ash's Greninja and Alain's Mega Charizard X in the final round of the Kalos Pokemon League is what the fans called a close call. Both sides unleashed their finishing blows and in the end...victory goes to Alain.

2) The showdown between Ash and Gladion in the Alolan Pokemon League finals has reached its thrilling climax as both of their Lycanrocs unleashed everything in an all-or-nothing battle to decide who will be Alola's first champion. The fighting was fierce but thanks to Ash's Lycanroc's Counter, Ash miraculously defeated Gladion to become the champion of the Alola region.

and the best Pokemon moment is...

1) The penultimate episode of the Sun and Moon saga brings the explosive finale to the ultimate showdown between Ash and Professor Kukui. With the legendary Tapu Koko fighting on the professor's behalf, it became what is known to be the true final battle. With their Z-Rings regained power thanks to Tapu Koko, the two unleashed a Z-Move finale with the Professor unleashing Tapu Koko's Guardian of Alola and Ash's Pikachu using 10,000,000-volt Thunderbolt. After an explosive Z-move finish, Ash and Pikachu won!

Happy 25th anniversary to the Pokemon TV series! As Ash and Goh's Pokemon journeys near its climax, will Ash conquer the World Coronation Series and defeat Leon? Will Goh accomplish the toughest Project Mew mission in the hopes of catching Mew? Will Chloe become the best Pokemon contest coordinator with the help of her Eevee? Only time will tell but with new and returning faces coming full circle, the climax of their Pokemon journeys will be...legendary.

[ 365 Days of SasuHina || Day Two Hundred Seventy-Eight: The Hunt for ___ ] [ Uchiha Sasuke, Hyūga Hinata, Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Naruto, Uzumaki Kushina ] [ SasuHina ] [ Verse: Catch ‘Em All ] [ AO3 Link ]

“All right, young trainer...you’ve bested me. And for that, you’ve earned...the Thunder Badge!”

Standing beside his Flareon, Sasuke slowly brightens as it sinks in. He did it...he beat Vermillion’s gym! Smiling widely, he accepts the badge, looking at the yellow and orange metal in awe. “...thank you, sir…!”

“You’ve earned it,” the leader replies, smiling warmly. “You battled well! It’s clear you’re growing into a splendid young trainer, Sasuke. I’ll have to write to your father and tell him how your battle went!”

“You...you’d do that?”

“Of course! Your father and I are old friends, after all,” the blond replies with a grin. “Hasn’t he ever mentioned me? I’m Namikaze Minato! I guess I’ve just been so busy here in Vermillion, I’ve never had the chance to head south to Fuchsia and give you a proper visit. So I’m glad to finally meet you!”

Sasuke’s face slackens in surprise. He was aware that his father knows most of the other gym leaders as one himself, but he’s never really talked about many very personally. “...yeah, likewise, sir!?”

“You know, I have a son about your age...his name is Naruto. If you’re planning on staying in Vermillion a little longer, I’d love for you to meet him! He wants to be a trainer too - in fact, he even has a -”

“Oi!”

Pausing, the group - Hinata included - look to the doorway where a boy stands proudly, a glint in his blue eyes. He looks...just like Minato! “I’m here to challenge you!”

Blinking, Minato then laughs. “Naruto...how many times have I told you, you aren’t ready yet! You and your Vulpix need to train a little more before we can have an official battle! Besides...don’t you think you should expand your team a little, first…?”

“No way! I’m ready now, believe me! We’ve been training super hard!”

The leader heaves an exasperated sigh, smiling wearily. “...I’m sorry, Naruto, but...I actually just finished a battle, so my team needs to rest. Maybe next time.”

“Whaaat?!”

Chuckling, Minato gestures to Sasuke. “You remember me talking about my old friend, Fugaku? He runs the gym in Fuchsia? This is his younger son, Sasuke! He’s on a pokémon journey of his own, and just bested me! And this is Hinata - her mother used to run the gym in Cerulean. I believe your aunt runs it now, is that right…?”

“Y...yes sir!” Hinata chirps in reply, not expecting to be addressed. “M-my aunt Hotaru! She was married to my uncle Hizashi before he...passed away.”

“I see...and do you ever plan to try and be gym leader?”

Her cheeks flush pink. “I...well, I’d like to...Sasuke-kun is helping me form a t-team!”

“That’s wonderful! You know, there’s plenty of water type pokémon in the sea around Vermillion. It would be a cinch to catch some!”

“I’ve got my rod with me, so we can try to find a few if you want, Hinata,” Sasuke offers.

“O...okay!”

“That’s perfect! Why don’t you take Naruto with you? It’d be great for all of you to make friends, given you’re all - in a way - gym leaders’ kids!” Minato suggests with a smile.

Before Sasuke can object - this Naruto seems loud, he’ll scare all the water types! - Hinata nods. “Sure!”

“All right then. Once you’re done, I’d love for you both to join us for supper! You can stay at our place tonight, and then head out for your next gym in the morning, if you’re in a rush!”

“Thank you!”

“I guess we can,” Sasuke murmurs, looking ever so slightly dejected.

Minato gives a warm smile. “All right, then - Naruto, behave yourself with your guests! Show them around Vermillion and help them catch some water types, all right? Maybe you can even catch one, yourself!”

Still looking a bit annoyed at being brushed off for a battle, Naruto folds his arms. “Yeah, yeah…”

“See you lot later - I better get my team to the pokémon center to get patched up.”

As Minato closes the gym, the trio of new trainers stand a bit awkwardly outside.

“...so your dad’s a gym leader too, huh?” Naruto asks, lips a bit pursed in a pout.

“Yeah...poison types. My brother wants to take over when he gets older.”

“What’re you gonna do?”

“I wanna get all the badges, and challenge the League.”

“Hey, me too! But my dad keeps saying I’m not ready…”

“You only have one pokémon, right?”

“Yeah, Vulpix! I nicknamed him Kurama!” Grinning widely, Naruto takes out a pokéball, and releases the little fox. “Taadaa!”

Hinata looks curiously, Sasuke not very impressed. “That’s a f-fire type, right?”

“Mhm! And when he evolves, he’ll be a Ninetails! He’s gonna lead my team all the way to the Champion!”

At that, Sasuke smirks. “Not if I get there first. And I already have four pokémon on my team.”

Naruto’s eyes go round. “Whoa...really?”

“My brother caught me some early - I’ve had pokémon for a long time. I’ve got Ivysaur, Pidgeotto, Flareon, and Ekans.”

For a moment, the blond almost seems to deflate. “Well...I’ll…! I’ll get a team too, someday! And then I’ll beat ya!”

“Bring it on.”

Glancing between the boys, Hinata then softly interjects, “Should we, um...s-should we start fishing, if we want to catch some pokémon before Minato-san wants us to eat with them…?”

“Yeah, we should. So, know a good place to fish?” Sasuke asks, looking to Naruto expectantly.

“Yeah, yeah! Over here!” Taking off, he leads them to the western shore of the town. “I’ve seen people catch stuff here.”

“Like what?”

“I dunno! Just...pokémon!”

Sighing, Sasuke pulls out his brother’s pokédex. “Hm...I guess he didn’t catch anything here, there’s no data. Most people don’t catch stuff in town…”

“I know you can, I’ve seen it! Just give it a try!”

Deciding to take the blond’s word for it, Sasuke brings out his fishing rod, fiddling it before casting out into the water.

And so begins the hunt for some water types.

For a good long while...nothing happens. Hinata watches keenly for a time, but eventually takes to sitting in the sand, drawing shapes while Naruto builds sand castles. Once, he gets a hook! But it turns out to be a Magikarp…

Nose wrinkling, Sasuke makes to send it back...but Naruto jumps up.

“Hey, can I have it?”

“...you want a Magikarp…? Do you have any idea how useless they are?”

“But they grow into Gyarados, right? Right?”

“Well, yeah...but it’s super hard to get one to evolve. They’re so weak, getting enough experience is tough.”

“So? I can do it! Then that’ll prove that I’m a better trainer than you!”

Sasuke’s expression flattens. “...all right, try it. I doubt you even need to battle it, just...throw a pokéball.”

“Yeah!” Digging one out of his pack, Naruto lobs it, bonking the fish right on the head. The ball wriggles...wiggles...and then goes still.

“Yahooo!” Fetching the ball and holding it overhead, Naruto dances all over the beach. “I got it, I got it!”

“...I’m the one who fished it up,” Sasuke mutters, earning a giggle from Hinata.

Casting his line, he gives it another go...and to his surprise, it’s only a few minutes before another bite! “Whoa!”

Attention caught, the other two move to stand beside him, watching eagerly as he reels in...a Horsea!

Hinata immediately goes wide-eyed. “Ohhh...it’s so c-cute!”

Glancing at her praise, Sasuke nods. “All right...I’ll catch it!” Once it’s on the beach, he calls out his Ivysaur. “All right, let’s do it! Razor leaf!”

“Saur!” Striking a battle pose, the pokémon launches into action, and the battle begins!

Hands curled under her chin, Hinata watches with anticipation, cheering on her friend. “Y-you can do it, Sasuke-kun!”

Beside her, Naruto just pouts.

After a few exchanged blows, the water type is already looking tired. Sasuke grins. “All right, time for a pokéball!” Throwing it, he lands his mark, the Horsea vanishing into the ball.

Everyone goes still, watching as it rolls around in the sand...and then stops.

“You did it!” Hands in the air, Hinata runs across the beach as Sasuke picks up the ball.

“Here.”

“But -?”

“You wanna be a gym leader, right? This one’s for you! I’ll catch something else...I should have a water type on my team, too.”

Accepting the ball, Hinata wilts ever so slightly. “...that’s t-two pokémon you’ve caught for me…”

“Well, I kinda had to on the first one. But hey...you can get the next one, okay? We’ll do some training on the way, and then you can battle!”

After a pause, she brightens. “O-okay!”

With two pokémon caught, the pair let their new friends swim in the water near shore as Sasuke gives it one more go. Five minutes pass, then ten...twenty...and then a bite!

“Wha-!” Staggering forward, he nearly loses his grip on the pole, digging heels into the sand. “I-it’s strong!”

After a struggle, he finally manages to pull the pokémon up to reveal a Shellder!

“Ooh…!”

“Shellder, huh? They evolve into Cloyster...sounds good to me!” Calling on his Pidgeotto, Sasuke battles his catch, this one a bit more of a match for his teammate. The pair fight to a standstill, and Sasuke finally lobs a pokéball...only for it to break open!

“Whoa!”

Teeth grit. He’s not letting this one get away…! For good measure, he instead pulls out a great ball, throwing it with a grunt of determination. “I’m gonna catch you…!”

With a flare, the Shellder disappears...the ball rolls...and then goes still.

“You did it!” Naruto whoops, leaping up with a grin.

“G-good job, Sasuke-kun!” Hinata praises. “Now we’ve a-all got a water type!”

Picking up his ball with a smirk, Sasuke nods. “...mm!”

By now, the sun is nearly setting, and Naruto leads the way to his house. “My mom’s cooking is the best! Bet you can’t eat just one plate, believe me!”

The trio are welcomed inside, and the guests introduced to Kushina, Naruto’s mother.

“What a lovely little pair of trainers!” she praises with a grin. Immediately, they can tell where Naruto’s personality comes from. “Well don’t be shy, come eat!”

For the first time since leaving Fuchsia, the pair have a home cooked meal, and Naruto is right - they both eat to bursting, and are then shooed into a guest room by Kushina for the night.

“You two get some rest! We’ll have a hearty breakfast in the morning before you go, all right?”

“Okay,” Sasuke replies weakly, still nearly sick from all the food he’s already eaten. The thought of breakfast now is enough to make him woozy.

“What a g-great day…!” Hinata murmurs, tucked into a bedroll and looking bright-eyed. “We all got new pokémon, and you got a badge!”

“Yeah...pretty cool, huh?”

Sighing happily, she flops down, arms under her head. “Naruto-kun is really nice! I wonder if we’ll meet him again when he’s on his o-own journey…”

Laying down himself, Sasuke can’t help a small scowl. “Tch...he’s got a long way to go…”

“Well...so do I. I haven’t even gotten to battle, yet…”

“You’ll get there. I’ll teach you how.”

“...thank you, Sasuke-kun. For...everything.”

A pit of warmth forms in his belly at the praise. “...you’re welcome. Get some sleep, okay? Long day tomorrow.”

“Yeah...goodnight.”

“Night.”

                                                              .oOo.

     More pokes! I'd almost forgotten how fun it is to write this crossover - it's just so stinkin' cute xD      And this time we've got the Nami-Uzu family along! Poor Naruto, always lagging behind...but if he's anything like his canon self, he'll soon be a worthy rival for Sasuke! And given the looks Sasuke keeps giving him, and Hinata's compliments...that might be in more than one respect x3      Anywho, it's VERY late, and I'm wiped, so that's all from me for tonight! Thanks for reading~

(Blueberry leans in) Oh, you have friends? Perhaps I should bring them here. Healing is best with those you are close to! I was taught that when I was but a little Popplio. (Whip Cream taps her on the shoulder, holding a Sitrus Berry and a Leppa Berry) So I need to dice these right? (Blueberry turns around) Oh no, you're supposed to julienne them. There's a difference. And what have I told you about sticking berries on your Shellder? (She walks away to the kitchen, an odd smell filling the room)

“Trust me...its best they don’t come.  Friends they may be, but those assholes will NOT let me live this down.”
