"I Wanna Make Friends With All The Pokemon In The World" Ash maintains his experiences from his previous travels, maturity and skill included. However, Ash is more overly excited to see Pokémon that he has seen before and ones he's never seen before. Although this trait has caused him a lot of trouble in the past and caused him to almost lose his friendships with his previous companions, Ash realizes that his excitement and stubbornness needs correcting due to his companion, Goh, being the same way and decides to not only help him cope with it but also help himself in the process. Also, Ash secretly understands that he needs to develop his Aura powers a little due to having to train one of his Pokémon, Lucario, in that field as he works hard to help it and himself. Ash also starts to understand more about what being a Pokémon Master means to him, seeing beating Leon and becoming World Champion as merely the first step as even though he become the new monarch, he still felt like trainer. Ash eventually comes to believe that befriending every Pokémon in the world is what being a Pokémon master is all about, and he strives to improve to achieve this seemingly impossible task.
