Rumor has it we have a pokemon gym in a nearby town to me and Pikachu and Ash were seen there.. I did not believe it until I saw them training today,
I had to shoot through my windshield as I did not want to interrupt them. It does answer some questions I always had.
1) Does Ash have any other Hats? Yes, a black one.
2) Does Ash ever get old? Yes, even sports a beard now.
3) Did Ash train Pikachu? No!! Other way around apparently.
4) How does Ash afford to travel all the time? He works for Xfinity
It all makes sense now.
