ash is a good role model because he doesn't give up despite his failures, and he gets better every season (besides BW) so it shows that hard work does pay off, but not being #1 is not the end of the world and doesn't mean you should stop trying.
seriously i'm baffled, you people would make fucking AWFUL parents. never have children.
