Fingers crossed. But the promise to return was only made in the dub not in the japanese original, so technically it is permanently gone like butterfree
But yet again, this can be true and Ash did use Lapras in a battle, so probably pidgeot return, but I hope it goes to Oak, because we don't need a flyer when we got a dragon tank.
This series ending should have an extra capture for Ash getting a Dunsparce, a normal type pokemon from gen 2, and we have it journey with Ash to the next gen, where it will be traded to another main lead character who will evolve it and then give it away to a ping pong player
Whoa, this is too much, even for a fanfic, this is too much. Why would he catch another dragon type and why Shiny Flygon? Cassidy and Butch are long lost cases and Ash's mates returning is the only one that can be seen.
