The opening though, god im tearing up again

Wait didn't latias kiss ash before

Ohh shit his using donphan, I still remember the time he evolved that shit was iconic

which region did ash get that metal elephant from also
the newest pokemon species that i ever saw is that deer pokemon in the first part of the episode

That's Donphan another iconic pokemon of Ash most known through his pre-evolved form Phanphy. He hatched from an egg in Johto.

I'm surprised that he stop using current team and how he only get zapped.

Latias is a dick
