In the [[Legend? Go! Friends? Go!|sequel episode]], Ash sees a [[Lugia (anime)|Lugia]] appearing in [[Orania City]] and pursues it.

The Pokémon allows the boys to ride on its back as it flies across the sky and dives deep into the sea. The shared experience leads to a bond between the two boys. After Lugia disappears, Ash and Goh return to [[Professor Cherry]]'s laboratory, where they inform everyone present about their encounter with Lugia. Impressed by the report, the professor offers them the opportunity to assist him in his research. Ash and Goh agree and move into the laboratory together, where they live from then on.

== Personality ==
== Personality ==
Already in the [[Pikachu|first episode]], it becomes clear that Ash wants to become a Pokémon Master and gives his all for it. He is very ambitious and determined. When saying goodbye to his mother, he seems happy to finally be able to leave. His courage becomes clear during the first battle against Team Rocket. Ash's ambition is also evident when, upon entering a town with a Gym, he wants to visit it immediately, without visiting the city's attractions, as his friends often want to do. He is also tempted to challenge supposedly stronger opponents, such as [[Lauro#In the anime|Lauro]], the Champion of [[Unova]].

That Ash often doesn't think before he acts becomes clear when he uses his new [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpillar]] against Pidgeot, which sees it as prey. He wants Misty to like his Caterpillar and Safcon, and isn't interested in her fear of Bug-type Pokémon. This "lack of planning" becomes apparent again and again throughout the rest of their journey. For example, Ash uses Pokémon with a type disadvantage or commands attacks that are ineffective, even though he has had this experience several times before. Later, he trains very diligently, especially for Gym battles and leagues, especially in [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Kalos]], in order to develop new attacks and strategies. Nevertheless, in [[Alola]] it seems as if Ash is still often too impetuous or careless, as can be seen when he lets his nose get too close to a [[Mabula (Anime)|Mabula]], whereupon it pinches him on the nose. In ''[[Love at First Spin!]]'', despite his extensive training experience, Ash needs all [[Ultra Ball|Ultra Balls]] to capture the [[Ultra Beasts|Ultra Beast]] [[Ash's Agoyon|Venicro]].
