Ash and Serena in “Till We Compete Again!”

Ash, thank you. [holding her hand to her heart, specifically the blue ribbon Ash gifted her] I'm glad I came with you. You're the kind of person I want to be!

[Ash gasps, having been taken aback by this sudden admittance]

[Clemont and Bonnie look at each other and laugh, knowing exactly what she means, and are happy that Ash finally seems to understand to an extent...]

Next time we meet, [winking] you're gonna like the type of person I've grown into!
