Top 10 Most Emotional Moments from the Pokemon Anime

The Top Ten
1 Ash, Misty and Brock Part Ways
2 The Maidens Ghosts story
3 Pickachu decides to fight Raichu as a Pickachu

Reminds me of a scene in the episode called "Gotta Catch a What?" where Goh's pikachu starts chasing Ash's pikachu with a thunder stone and it looks like that Ash's pikachu evolved but it was just a regular old raichu.

4 Brock gets angry at Damien for abandoning Charmander
5 Maylene loses her confidence after losing to Paul

Not only did she lose to Paul to add salt to the wound he calls her the weakest gym leader he ever fought even refering to badge as a lightweight badge.

6 Max gets upset after Ash beats Norman

Max loves and respects his dad Norman and gets really upset after he loses to Ash that he takes the badge and locks himself behind a door until Norman tells him that losing is a very important part of bieng a gym leader and all battles in general.

7 Misty's decision to stay with Rudy or stay with Ash

Rudy clearly loves Misty at first she enjoys all the affection she gets from him but when he asks her to stay with him her mood completly changes she becomes very worried over the tough descion to stay with Rudy or continue traveling with Ash eventually she makes her choice pretty clear when she cheers for Ash

10 Stoutland Dies

Saddest moment in S&M, along with mallow when she reunited with her mother in the mist.
