Ash, Goh and others in “Pride of a Champion!”

So it is Diantha against Lance. Which shall I cheer for?

Ash, does that mean you know both of them?

Uh-huh. I even battled Diantha too. [That's true, although neither battles Ash had with Diantha were finished. But Ash did let Diantha know he had potential during their battles.]

You're amazing. You're also one of Lee's favorite trainers. That's so cool there's something about you that the Champions find interesting. [Hmmm...seems that Ash is also the other Champion's favorite trainers]
