Pokémon Dust and Smoke (series)

The eighth series of the Pokémon anime is based on TheRandomBlock (talk) 15:32, October 5, 2020 (UTC)'s Pokémon Dust and Smoke games. Like other series, Ash Ketchum is the main protagonist. It also introduces Ash's traveling companions of the Ruhno region: Avani, one of Ash' best girlfriends, and Nakir, the Pokémon detective.
Again, the series introduces a new art style. Ash's hair is the same as in The Power of Us, and his lightning marks are a slightly darker tan color instead of black.
Episodes have the suffix DS (which is short for Dust and Smoke). For the episode list of the series, see: Pokémon Dust and Smoke (series)/List of episodes.
==Blurb==
Ash Ketchum continues his Pokémon journey with the trip to Ruhno, a mysterious region which is on the west of the Hoenn region. He did not remember that, along with May and Brock, he was in Hoenn. However, Ketchum unites with Avani, a beginner Pokémon trainer who is also Ash's best girlfriend, and Nakir, the Pokémon detective whose goal is to catch Deoxys.
The three, using their Nintendo 2DS-esque Ruhno Pokédexes, hunt for the Pokémonn in the region. They also are going to collect Gym Badges to enter the Pokémon League. After the main protagonist gets all badges, Ketchum, Avani and Nakir enter the Ruhno League Mossdeep Conference, taking place in Hoenn's Mossdeep City. Will Ketchum win the Pokémon League the second time?
==Plot==
Avani, a soon-to-be Pokémon Trainer living in the Hoenn Route 113, pays a visit to the Mossdeep City, where Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu are. After a meeting they travel to the Ruhno region to discover new Pokémon. Kit, Ash and Avani's rival, is also encountered in Professor Beech's lab. As Avani chooses Aqualpod, and Kit chooses Pylava, Ash, as well as the two, begins his Ruhno journey, being joined later by the Pokémon detective Nakir.
