Ash's goal in the current series is to battle and defeat the strongest trainer in the world. And there's plenty of returning characters, and a new co-protagonist, so that might be signaling the end. Either Ash's journey comes to an end this series, or they'll keep him around until the pokemon franchise comes to an end
