Will Liko cross paths with Ash when she returns to Paldea?

Despite Ash's goal finally defining the term of his kiddy wish of being a big friend to everyone...it's not going to be surprising how Roy will hog him more than Liko anyway. Why mingle so much with a girl (lol) when he can have an epic battle of the ages Mega 'cario with Mega 'cario.
In all honesty he would probably wind up batting both, because they would want to show off Terastalization.

Unless Ho-OH or the original Mewtwo crossed paths within the Horizon story, I couldn't imagine a rational reason for Ash to meet the RVT if it serves no purpose to progressing Ash's goal.

Ash may have defeated the current strongest world champion (Leon), but he's never defeated or befriended one of the strongest pokemon (original Mewtwo) featured in the main story of the anime.

I'd imagine that if Ash were to appear or cross paths with Liko and Roy, the event would need to coincide with his pledged goal of becoming a Pokemon Master.

As mentioned in a previous thread, I speculate we wont see Ash Ketchum again anytime soon until perhaps the year 2029 or 2030, a 10 year hiatus since the end of Pokemon Journeys.

What If Pokemon Horizons does end with Ash Ketchum didn't show up for real, what will happen to this thread?

will it get locked too?

If Ash shows up or doesn't show up, this thread can get locked in both situations. We won't have much thing to discuss if Ash shows up also.
Will Liko cross paths with Ash when she returns to Paldea?
I know people write this thread for potential return of Ash. Moreover different topic that is related to Ash's return like returning, mentioning or cameos of other previuos characters are discussed here. Because they wanted to seperate Ash's return from other events and speculate in a special thread. However the thread was for very restricted possibility. It was for a possible meeting of Ash and Liko when she turns back from Indigo Academy to Paldea in the beginning of the story. It didn't happen.
Maybe we need a thread like "Ash's possible return to anime."

If Ash doesn't appear in Horizons, I'm sure somebody will make a new thread titled "Will [Gen 10 protagonist] cross paths with Ash?"
Will Damian, the Gen 50 protagonist cross paths with Ash even though he's in an alternate universe and they've long since fully retired Ash in any form for good meaning it's now basically impossible for Damian to meet him?

"Will Delia rob the next male protagonist's clothes for Ash and take credit for making it?"

I really doubt he’s gonna come back now that we are beginning the climax lol, even if we get another arc it’ll mostly be an epilogue arc so I doubt we’ll get him.

I expect to see him in a special or something during the 30th anniversary celebration, remains to be seen whether we get it this year or the next

He really should come back.
I truly think the pokemon anime series is giving him (Ash Ketchum) a 10 year hiatus before returning him to the franchise again.

My guess he returns in either the year 2029 , possibly 2030, or 2033. The 10 year anniversary of Pokemon Journey's (2019) preimer or after the ending of "Aim to be a Pokemon Master (2023).

Seems a little too long if you ask me.

It's already been 3 years since he left and I personally still haven't moved on from his departure. (Probably because of how crappy I felt it was.)

Eh, no way they wait 10 years.

Cute thematically but he's too popular and they probably want to recapture older fans soon. Like with Kasumi and Takeshi.

In my opinion, Ash's guest appearance is a real risk. I worry that some people will get the false hope that the creators intend to bring him back permanently at some point.

Crazy that Ash revealing what the ******* a Pokemon Master was turned all the canon episodes into filler and the filler into canon episodes.

(yeah see he never befriended his friends' pokemon so they don't count, so they were all filler too)

You say like some people aren’t going do that anyway. In all honesty some people are going to do that regardless of whether or not Ash winds up making any future guest appearance.
