In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on {{ashfr}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|M02}}, {{OBP|Latias|M05}}, {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, {{OBP|Shaymin|M11}}, {{mov|Giratina}}, {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}, {{OBP|Victini|M14}}, {{OBP|Reshiram|M14}}{{tt|*|Black—Victini and Reshiram}}, {{OBP|Zekrom|M14}}{{tt|*|White—Victini and Zekrom}} and {{an|Meloetta}}. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted.

Ash has also participated in Contests. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, as well as one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the Contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a Ribbon he received in a Contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the third round.

Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]] for the first time, and fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before. Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and Brock then set off on their own paths to follow their respective dreams, with Brock saying he will no longer be joining Ash on his next journey.
