Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, family, and supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them. | Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained.

Ash's closeness to his Pokémon family has him fearing of losing them or having them leave him, as shown in ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]'' when he almost lost Pikachu when he temporally had amnesia, and sided with Team Rocket, and in ''[[XY116|The Synchronizing Test!]]'' when he had a nightmare, after he passed out during a battle with his close friend and rival [[Alain]], that {{AP|Greninja}} was leaveing him. Although he fears losing his Pokémon family the most, Ash does also fear losing his close friends and loved ones, as he doesn't want them to put themselves endanger. In the {{DL|List of XY series episodes|XYZ series}}, Ash's fears was his biggest week point in perfecting the Ash-Greninja form, although he wasn't aware of it until close to the end of ''[[XY120|All Hail the Ice Battlefield!]]'' when Gym Leader [[Wulfric]] hinted him as to why he was having trouble in perfecting the form. Ash went through a state of depression when he realize how far he let his fears get the better of him and for not doing something about the problem sooner, and even felt | Ash's closeness to his Pokémon family has him fearing of losing them or having them leave him, as shown in ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]'' when he almost lost Pikachu when he temporally had amnesia, and sided with Team Rocket, and in ''[[XY116|The Synchronizing Test!]]'' when he had a nightmare, after he passed out during a battle with his close friend and rival [[Alain]], that {{AP|Greninja}} was leaveing him.

Ash went through a state of depression when he realize how far he let his fears get the better of him and for not doing something about the problem sooner, and even felt guilty for letting Greninja get hurt that badly during the battle. Shown In ''[[XY122|the next episode]]'', Ash nearly lost himself if not for {{an|Serena}} reminding him of who he is and when he rediscover his reason as to why he wanted to become a Pokémon Trainer. Ash even perfected the Ash-Greninja form when he let go of his fear and synchronize his feelings with Greninja. Also, Ash does worry for his Pokémon safety as he would risk everything to keep them safe from danger, something that Team Flare's leader [[Lysandre]] used to his advantage by using Pikachu and his Kalos Pokémon, although Greninja was also part of the plan, as hostages to assure that he would cooperate with him. | ||
