The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga gave Ash its own sendoff years ago, and it's far closer to what many fans were hoping for than the anime's finale.
Ash Ketchum's journey in the Pokémon anime came to a mildly controversial end in 2023, as it left many things open-ended in a way that some fans didn't appreciate. Those fans might instead be better off checking out the epilogue for The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga, as it drew many of those plot threads to a satisfying conclusion, while still leaving Ash with the open ending that the anime provided.
The Electric Tale of Pikachu is a manga that adapts the first two seasons of the Pokémon anime, in particular the Indigo League and Orange Islands arcs that made up the bulk of the series' beginning. It features all the characters from the anime, like Misty, Brock, Gary, and Team Rocket, and loosely adapts the plots of certain episodes while also taking time to tell its own stories on occasion.

The epilogue of the series sees Ash writing a letter home to his mother, which is hand-delivered by James of Team Rocket, whom Ash refers to as a "friend.
Since The Electric Tale of Pikachu stopped adapting the anime when it moved to Johto, it made sense to offer up an ending for this version of the characters at the time. That means ending right after Ash wins the Orange Islands League, what was certainly a high point of his even in the anime. By contrast, the anime's ending left Ash and Pikachu still traveling on their own, with Team Rocket still chasing after them to chase Pikachu, exactly as before.
The Pokémon anime wanted to end in a manner that would leave the door open for a return appearance by Ash Ketchum down the line, so they were afraid to diverge too far from the series' status quo, ultimately leading to an unsatisfying ending. The Electric Tale of Pikachu didn't have this problem, since it was just plain over, and was thus allowed to do things like pair up characters.
