In a spectacular revelation during the Pokemon Presents August showcase, the Pokémon Company announced a brand-new anime, Pokemon: Path to the Peak.
This animated series promises a fresh take on the franchise, delving deep into the world of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
The upcoming short series follows the story of Ava, a young girl who joins a Pokemon club at her new school. Adjusting to a new environment, Ava grapples with settling in until she discovers the exhilaration of the ever-popular trading card game. The trailer portrays her journey as she finds solace in the fantasy realm of Pokémon battles, where player duels are magnificent in scale. This isn't a familiar Pokémon universe where trainers battle with real Pokémon; instead, we get a more grounded setting akin to our reality, focusing on how the love for Pokémon cards brings people together.
The anime seems to expertly intertwine our world with the illustrious Pokémon universe, establishing that these trading card battles hold as much weight as any battle in the Pokémon world. Ava, alongside her ever-supportive family, friends, and her partner Pokémon, Oddish, aspires to ascend the competitive ladder of the Pokémon TCG. The story culminates with Ava setting her sights on the ultimate goal - the zenith of Pokémon TCG competition.
