After over twenty years of adventure, Satoshi has finally become the strongest in the world! Many fans who have been supporting the anime series since its early days were deeply moved by the fact that Satoshi, who was originally a reckless character, has finally become the world champion after a long period of adventure. As it was the climax of Satoshi's adventure, which has been depicted over a long period of time, the final battle with the world champion Dande attracted a lot of attention. Even people who do not usually watch the Pokemon series may have watched only the final battle to catch a glimpse of the brave figure of Satoshi, who they cheered for when they were young. Satoshi's adventure has been depicted over a huge period of time, so I think most people do not know everything. So, in commemoration of Satoshi's victory in the world league, I would like to briefly summarize his twenty-year journey to the world's strongest. At a glance of this article, you will be able to understand Satoshi's general footsteps, so please check it out.
My dream is to become a Pokemon Master! !
Satoshi, a boy living in Masara Town, decides to go on a journey to become a Pokemon Master on his 10th birthday. First, he has to go to Professor Okido's laboratory to receive his first partner Pokemon from Professor Okido, but on such an important day, Satoshi ends up oversleeping.
Make the remaining Pikachu your buddy
Because he was very late, the Squirtle, Charmander, and Venusaur he was supposed to receive had already been chosen. So Satoshi had no choice but to choose Pikachu, who was not chosen due to his difficult personality, as his buddy.
Meeting and parting with many friends and Pokemon
At first, Satoshi had a hard time dealing with Pikachu, but he gradually became more comfortable with Pikachu, and he continued his adventure in the Kanto region, meeting and parting with many friends and Pokemon during his adventure.
A crushing defeat in his first league match
After clearing numerous gyms, Satoshi was able to participate in the preliminaries for the league match to determine the strongest in the region, but now he faces a trial. His newly evolved Charizard has completely stopped listening to him. Charizard does not recognize Satoshi, who is still inexperienced as a trainer, as its trainer and abandons the battle. This causes Satoshi to unexpectedly abandon the Pokemon League preliminaries.
Communicating with Charizard, a source of trouble
At one point, Satoshi's relationship with Charizard was at its worst because Charizard caused him a painful loss, but gradually Satoshi began to communicate with Charizard. Charizard also began to acknowledge Satoshi's efforts as his trainer, and he began to work even harder in battles under Satoshi.
"We don't need a weak Charizard"
Charizard gradually became Satoshi's best partner, but it became difficult for Satoshi to make the most of Charizard's abilities. So Satoshi decided to move Charizard to an environment where he could grow even more than he could. The adventure of Charizard and Satoshi will come to an end here. The scene where Satoshi tells Charizard "We don't need a weak Charizard" for his own sake is a scene that shows the kindness of his heart, who prioritizes the future of Pokemon over his own dreams.
Conquer the Battle Frontier! !
After overcoming numerous challenges in the Kanto and Johto regions, Satoshi then travels to the Hoenn region to challenge a facility known as the Battle Frontier. The Battle Frontier is home to many powerful trainers whose skills are comparable to those of the Elite Four, and it is impossible to break through unless you have considerable skill.
Although he was eliminated from the league, he put up a great fight! !
Satoshi managed to win the Battle Frontier with difficulty. Although he was eliminated from the Hoenn League, winning the Battle Frontier is just as amazing as winning the league, and it can be said that winning the Battle Frontier is a particularly great achievement among Satoshi's achievements so far. Winning the Battle Frontier is Satoshi's first brilliant achievement.
First time in the top 4! !
After that, Satoshi traveled to the Sinnoh region and challenged the Sinnoh League, where he succeeded in making it to the top four for the first time in a league match that had been a bitter struggle until now.
Defeat the formidable Shinji!
In particular, the quarterfinal match against Shinji, a strong opponent who has clashed with Satoshi throughout his journey in the Sinnoh region, is one of the most popular battles in the Pokémon anime series, and it can be said to be one of the best battles Satoshi has ever had. It was a match that also determined Satoshi's first time advancing to the top four, so there was a lot of excitement when it first aired.
The biggest trauma in the anime series
Satoshi barely made it to the top four, but now he has to face the mysterious trainer Takuto. Takuto is a trainer who has many mythical and legendary Pokemon in his possession, which is impossible according to common sense. Naturally, Satoshi's Pokemon will not work against such Pokemon, and Satoshi will suffer the biggest defeat in the Pokemon anime series.
Unsatisfactory Unova League
After the Sinnoh League ended, Satoshi headed to the Unova region, but he was unable to show his previous winning streak there and ended up in a slump.
Pikachu is unexpectedly weakened
There are many reasons for this, but the main one is that Pikachu was hit by a mysterious lightning bolt in the story and weakened. Pikachu had been adventuring with Satoshi and showing considerable strength up until now, but he ended up being significantly weakened in the Unova region.
A crushing defeat against an almost beginner
A variety of other conditions came together, and Satoshi suffered a crushing defeat against an almost beginner in the Unova League. Unlike Takuto in the Sinnoh League, who made full use of mythical and legendary Pokémon, this time he was defeated by a beginner who didn't even have a proper understanding of the number of Pokémon he had, and Satoshi's poor performance resulted in a flood of complaints.
Resurrection of the Kalos League
Satoshi was defeated in the Unova League, but he will perform extremely well in the Kalos League.
Add Greninja, the strongest Pokémon in the series, to your team!
In the Kalos region, Satoshi was able to acquire a trump card comparable to mega evolution by recruiting Greninja, known as the strongest Pokémon in the series and capable of transforming into a special form. Unlike previous league matches, Satoshi's own battle techniques have improved significantly, and he has shown a great performance that is different from the previous Satoshi.
A close defeat to the strongest rival in the series,,
It seemed like Satoshi might finally win this time, but unfortunately he was defeated by Alan, the strongest rival in the series, who was also competing in the league. Alan is a very different character from previous rivals, and a special story in which he appears as the main character has been developed in the anime series, making him a particularly important character in the series.
Finally, he wins the league! !
Satoshi has been prevented from winning the league by many strong opponents. After that, he finally achieves his long-awaited league victory in the Alola region.
The Alola Champion and the strongest Pokémon trainer!
Although this victory was in the Alola region, where the Pokemon League system is still underdeveloped, Satoshi became the Alola Champion in both name and reality, and obtained the title of Regional Champion, the strongest Pokemon trainer in each region.
Participate in the World Championship
After becoming the champion of the Alola region, Satoshi will then participate in the World Championship held in the Galar region. In this tournament, champions from each region will participate to decide who is the strongest, and Satoshi, as the Alola champion, will fight against champions from each region for the title of world's strongest.
Defeat the formidable opponent Dande! To become the world champion!
After defeating many of the strongest champions that have appeared so far, Satoshi finally wins against the world champion, Dande. The boy from Masara Town, who has grown up with many Pokemon while traveling through many regions, has finally become the world's strongest and become the world champion.
Summary
What did you think? This time, we have briefly summarized the journey of Satoshi, a boy from Masara Town, to become the world champion. We have focused on each league, but of course we want to keep in mind that Satoshi has moved forward by meeting and parting with many friends and Pokemon before challenging each league. Now that Satoshi has finally become the world champion in both name and reality, I'm looking forward to seeing how he will be involved in the new series.
