Ash’s first significant victory in the Master’s Tournament came in the most recent episode of Pokemon Journeys, which aired in Japan. The series is currently gearing up for the semifinals of the tournament. With Cynthia’s victory in the previous match, Ash will finally face Cynthia for the first time in the series. In light of the amount of time they’ve spent together, it’s a dream match.
During the most recent Japanese airing of Pokemon Journeys, episode 118, Ash was shown defeating Steven Stone in battle. This means he will have to face Cynthia in the semifinals before he can face Leon in the main event, which he has been working towards since the previous episode when she defeated Iris. Ash has been aware of Cynthia’s abilities since their initial encounter in Sinnoh, but it has also been clear that Cynthia has been getting stronger over the years.
