Viewers can expect a host of new challenges for Ash and his Pikachu to take on. Goh will continue to work on his objective of catching the Mythical Pocket Monster, Mew, while improving his skills as a trainer.

It seems The Pokemon Company agrees with the age-old adage that life is about the journey, rather than the destination. That's certainly the route they've taken with Ash's life. While no official trailer has been released yet, there is sure to be a video out soon since the series will debut this Summer.
