okay so even though the Ash and Goh goodbye was ages ago, i still wanted to say something about it.
So, basically, looking back at all the goodbyes Ash has had in the past with other friends, I just noticed that they seem to be the one thanking him, and saying the kind of stuff along the lines of 'I'm glad i met you', in different ways I guess. (Like Lillie literally just says it, or Serena...yeah did that 👀) as shown...
Long story short, when it's time for Ash and Goh to say goodbye, i love how bittersweet it is and how they both have that fond look on their faces too, like neither of them really want to end their journey. This isn't even the point I'm trying to make rn but it's so cute kjhadzjs
ANYWAY (look at their smiles oh my god i cant) We find that in the end ASH is the one who suddenly announces to Goh, first as well, 'I'm glad i met you.' and he even goes on to say 'Thank you' after that as well.
I honestly thought that was so sweet, bc especially after Ash has travelled to so many regions he's used to being the one to be thanked by other people and it just kind of shows how much important Goh is to him. Even Goh was surprised and the bit where he said he might cry made me want to cry too 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
OK even though i wanted to maybe have a more better goodbye (maybe i'll talk about that in a later post) this was a very sweet moment that my attention latched onto <33
I MISS THEM SO MUCH BUT I HOPE WE SEE THEM AGAIN
The future is in the palm of their hands after all <3
okay. to be fair i haven't watched the episode in 2 years so forgive like. holes. if there are any. but LIKE. IF ASH TOOK THAT, HE WOULD HAVE LIKELY BEEN FINE. HE HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO ELECTRIC ATTACKS LIKE THIS MANY TIMES, ON PURPOSE ON SOME OCCASIONS MIGHT I ADD. CLEMONT DIDN'T NEED TO DO THIS. The fact he did though is really awesome to me. because it's something he would never do. in this moment, Clemont is mirroring the courage he sees Ash demonstrate. I'm sure that up to this point he's seen Ash do many crazy things -- i can only remember he's seen Ash jump off the prism tower with no hesitation up to this point. sigh. But yeah. Clemont studies this boy silently. Clemont observes, and becomes a little bit more of a person he can be happy with. In this scene he REALLY shows what he's picked up. it's awesome i love this episode i love this scene
