She was just going to go travel, yet had no idea where. Sticking with Ash wouldn't have meant giving up on her dream if her dream was simply to make people smile. She could literally train to do that anywhere. Heck, going with him to his specialized Pokemon school probably would have helped further her dream by greatly expanding her knowledge on Pokemon in a shorter period of time than if she tried to figure it out on her own.
And yet the thought never even crossed her mind to follow him.
And do you know why? Because the Kalos league taught her something about Ash. HE'S A LOSER AND IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A LOSER! Why would she want to be with such a complete failure? To remind herself of her own failure? Nah, she's going to go ride Steven's stone while he fantasizes about a a sentient rock fairy.
