Following Ash's defeat in the Indigo League, Professor Oak asked him to travel to [[Valencia Island]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]] to retrieve the [[GS Ball]] from a [[Pokémon Professor]] named [[Professor Ivy|Ivy]]. While in the Orange Archipelago, Ash learned of the [[Orange Crew]] - an elite group of Trainers not unlike Gym Leaders that provided challenges for Trainers to overcome in the [[Orange League]]. After Brock decided to stay with Professor Ivy and help her with her work, Ash and Misty were joined by an enthusiastic [[Pokémon watcher]] named [[Tracey Sketchit]]. Ash, Misty, and Tracey then traversed the Orange Islands on the back of a lost {{AP|Lapras}} whom Ash caught. He eventually defeated the four members of the [[Orange Crew]] and finally won the Orange League by triumphing over the [[Head Leader]], {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}. Before leaving the Orange Archipelago though, Ash managed to find his Lapras's pod and [[Release|released]] it back into the wild. Upon returning to Pallet Town, Ash discovered that Brock had returned due to some unknown incident that left the aspiring Pokémon Breeder in dread of even hearing Professor Ivy's name. Tracey, meanwhile, stayed at [[Professor Oak's laboratory]] as Professor Oak's assistant, and Brock rejoined Ash and Misty. After his victory in the Orange League, Ash encountered Gary again, and after being defeated in a one-on-one battle, he learned that his rival had been training hard in order to participate in the [[Silver Conference]] in [[Johto]].

Excited at the prospect of meeting new Pokémon and facing Gary again, Ash and {{ashfr|friends}} left for the Johto region to collect eight Badges from the Gym Leaders there and compete in their [[Pokémon League]]. Much like his travels through Kanto, Ash, Misty, and Brock impacted the many people and Pokémon they met along the way. In the middle of his travels, they visited the [[Whirl Islands]], who, along with [[Ritchie]], helped save {{jo|Silver}}, a child {{p|Lugia}}, and its parent, from the evil machinations of Team Rocket. Ash along with Misty then competed in the [[Whirl Cup]], with Ash placing in the top 8, who was defeated by Misty in a 3-on-3, though she also ended up losing in the next round.

Ash encountered Gary occasionally in Johto, and while they were still rivals, Gary seemed to view Ash with slightly more respect than before. Indeed, Ash's growth of character was evident throughout this story arc as he continued to think more and more about his Pokémon and less and less about himself. After earning eight Johto Gym Badges, Ash entered the Silver Conference along with Gary. Finally, the two rivals battled in the tournament in a [[Full Battle]]. Although it was very close indeed, Ash emerged victorious against his rival for the first time in his career as a Pokémon Trainer, marking one of the biggest turning points in said career. After the battle, Gary and Ash departed on good terms with each other, finally overcoming their boyhood animosity and recognizing each other as equals. However, Ash's journey through Kanto and Johto came to an end when he was forced to split up with Brock and Misty when the two of them received messages to return home.

As their adventures started coming to a close, Ash and his friends decided to take the long way back to Kanto, by sailing on a series of luxury liners through a chain of islands called the [[Decolore Islands]]. On the way, Ash met [[Alexa]], a Pokémon Journalist, from whom he learnt of the [[Kalos]] region. Soon after they reach Kanto, Ash splits up with Iris and Cilan, who wish to go in separate directions to follow their own dreams.

In the {{series|XY}}, Ash traveled to the Kalos region with Alexa, first visiting [[Lumiose City]] in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where he parted ways with with the journalist and tried to challenge the [[Lumiose Gym]] at Prism Tower. However he was forcibly ejected from the tower when the computerized security system, later revealed to be the [[Clembot]], found out that he didn't have any Kalos Badges. He was rescued by {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}, who started to travel with him after he calmed down a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} at the top of Prism Tower. In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', Ash won his first Kalos Badge, the [[Bug Badge]], after defeating the {{ci|Santalune}} [[Santalune Gym|Gym]] Leader [[Viola]]. The group was then joined by Serena, who still remembered Ash rescuing her in her childhood and decided to start her own journey to reunite with him, although he initially did not remember the two of them meeting. Ash and Serena later learn that Clemont was actually the Lumiose Gym Leader, who was exiled from his own Gym by his own invention. They then help Clemont face Clembot, and after the issue is resolved, the two boys promise to battle after Ash fulfills the original conditions set by Clembot (even if it is no longer necessary), to earn four badges. With that, the group sets of on their journey again.

As they travelled, the group started to learn the secrets of [[Mega Evolution]], after meeting [[Professor Sycamore]], [[Diantha]] and [[Gurkinn]], as well as briefly travelling with [[Korrina]]. During their journey, Ash caught a lost and traumatized {{AP|Goomy|Goodra}} which he raised into a {{p|Sliggoo}}, and later a powerful {{p|Goodra}}. After earning his fourth Gym Badge, Ash eventually faced Clemont in their promised 3-on-3 Gym Battle, and wins with the help of this Goodra, gaining his fifth badge. Later, Ash and friends come across Goodra's [[Kalos Route 14|old home]], where they learnt it was taken over by a {{p|Florges}} and her companions. After Ash saved Goodra's swamp from Team Rocket, while simultaneously solving the issue concerning Florges, Ash leaves his Goodra in the wetlands so it can act as the protector of its swamp and the Pokémon living in it.

The four later attended [[Professor Sycamore]]'s [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], where they met the party of [[Shauna]], [[Tierno]] and [[Trevor]], with whom the group started a friendly rivalry with.
