Yes, Pidgeot did rejoin Ash in the Pokémon Journeys: The Series, after Ash invited it to rejoin his team, which it accepted, as the Pidgey have matured themselves and no longer need as much protection. The circumstances of Ash’s reunion with Pidgeot are a bit silly, and hardly a new situation for Ash, but it’s nice to see Pidgeot again before the series ends all the same.
