Question. And I’m probably going to look this up later anyway.

In Pokemon 2000 the prophecy literally says “That the world with turn to ash.” The characters find out that the prophecy didn’t mean destruction but rather the world would look to Ash Ketchum to save the world.

This was in the english dub. How did this play out in the original Japanese movie?

Also how come no one ever remembers that Ash has saved the world several times? The first movie gets a pass because their memories were literally erased but are the movies even canon?
