Pokémon: Master Quest
What's the Story?
POKÉMON MASTER QUEST, the fifth and final season of the original Pokémon anime series, follows Ash Ketchum and his friends during their final adventures. The Olivine City Gym is closed, so Ash, Brock, and Misty, along with their Pokémon partners, travel through the Johto region of the Pokémon world to compete in a new challenge. While they continue to work hard on their training, Team Rocket keeps trying to sabotage them every step of the way. Making things more complicated is the fact that Ash will have to face Gary, his old rival, to win the Silver Conference.
Is It Any Good?
This fun, final series offers fans a chance to see what happens to Ash and his friends in their quest to become Pokémon masters. It also introduces a few new colorful Pokémons, while re-introducing some characters from past seasons in an effort to bring Ashe's overall story full circle.
The stories combine the expected life lessons, and feature the fantasy battles that the overall franchise is known for. But regardless of whether you are a member of the original Pokémon generation, or a fan of the more recent reboots, if you like Pokémon, you'll find Pokémon: Master Quest entertaining.
