It's crazy to think that Pokemon the Series has been around for nearly 20 years, and this Saturday the hit animated show is celebrating its 1,000th episode. The episode, titled "The Professors' New Adventure," promises to be "a memorable one," according to The Pokemon Company, which teased that it will feature a wedding, something never been seen in the series. The following synopsis was also revealed:
Following their journey through the Ultra Wormhole, our heroes return to the Pokémon School, where Lillie thanks everyone for their help saving her mother. Later, during a walk on the beach, Professor Kukui asks Professor Burnet to marry him! They aren’t planning a wedding ceremony, but our heroes have other ideas...a surprise ceremony awaits! Then, Lusamine asks the Pokémon School class to join the Ultra Guardians—a group that protects Alola from Ultra Beasts. And just after the bouquet toss, Solgaleo appears! Ash gets his wish and thanks the Legendary Pokémon for all its help, and he looks forward to seeing it again someday.
Pokemon the Series has chronicled the fantastic adventures of Ash and Pikachu alongside their friends and companions, taking fans to a variety of different regions, islands, cities and towns within the Pokemon universe. The 1,000th episode is part of the Pokemon the Series: Sun & Moon - Ultra Adventures season, set in the tropical Alola region.
You can catch the 1,000th episode, The Professors' New Adventure, this Saturday, April 28 at 9:00am ET/PT. It will air on Disney XD and will also be available on demand and on the DisneyNOW app in the U.S.
