This far, appearances from classic characters in Pokémon Journeys have been sadly few and far between, with the series arguably not living up to its full globe trotting potential.

That question was answered yesterday with the announcement that Dawn, Ash's companion throughout the Diamond & Pearl arc of the Pokémon anime, will be returning to the series for two special episodes. The episodes, which go to air in Japan later this month on July 23rd and 30th, feature a story showcasing the Lunar duo legendaries Cresselia and Darkrai.
