  • Now That Ash and Pikachu Are Jobless, Here鈥檚 What They Can Do Next

    Sadly, the new generation of kids won鈥檛 get to see Ash and Pikachu in any more adventures. Like the rest of us who鈥檝e had to grow up, here鈥檚 what we think Ash should do now that he鈥檚 out of a job.

    Written By:

    After 25 years of adventure, Ash and Pikachu’s Pokemon storyline will end this year. It’s sad, but they’ve had over 1200 episodes of fun and battles defeated by the power of friendship, so they鈥檝e tried.聽

    Now that they no longer have work, here are some things they can do to fill the void.  

    Grow old聽

    Now that he has time on his hands, he can consider looking like the 35-year-old man he鈥檚 supposed to be. I don鈥檛 know how Japan is o, but if he had a Nigerian mum, he鈥檇 have to drink anointing oil daily and go for deliverance.聽

    Visit his family members 

    I too, would go on a quest to avoid my family members, but this man child, who remains eternally ten might鈥檝e taken it too far. Does he occasionally see his mom and absent father? Yes, but now that he鈥檚 jobless, he can spend even more time helping out at her restaurant and paying tax like the rest of us. 

    Start a business 

    I mean, he鈥檚 already the best pokemon trainer. If he starts a gym, people will pay to be taught. He too dey vex, so I don鈥檛 know about him being a good teacher, but it鈥檚 better than loafing around. 

    Get into tech 

    Will catching pokemon put food on his table? No. Tech is in, and pokemon is out. All he needs to do is buy a MacBook, catch a python, invest in turtlenecks and start talking about seed funding for something. Boom, a million billion in his account.聽

    Rest

    Even God rested on the seventh day. If he鈥檚 not fighting , he鈥檚 training one difficult pokemon or preparing for a battle 鈥 all for free. It鈥檚 okay, abeg. He should rest.

    Become a travel blogger

    He already has 25 years of experience travelling around. I鈥檇 watch his 鈥済et ready with me鈥, 鈥渨hat I eat in a day鈥, and 鈥渙utfit check鈥 videos any day. This job would fit him well. 

    Realise the world is cold and dark, and friendship isn’t everything

    Optimism is out; pessimism is in. In real life, you can鈥檛 even defeat a bad-mouthed three-year-old with the power of love and friendship, not to talk of real-life challenges like stretching your January salary. He would understand sha. All the very many times he lost a fight prepared him for this moment.
