>>53786971>>53787002>Ash catches Dragonite because Goh refused to take one of his Poké Balls, saying he might need it himself. This is in spite of the fact that the specific reason they went to Dragonite Island was for Goh to catch the entire line.>Ash catches Gengar because Goh gave up on it for him, seeing that Gengar was more attached to Ash.>Ash finds Riolu specifically because Goh wanted to see a Pokémon egg in person, so Goh's desire to see one drew Ash straight to Riolu. Subsequently, after evolving into Lucario, Goh's Cinderace helps train it constantly.>Ash catches Farfetch'd after Goh fails to catch it, and evolves it into Sirfetch'd following training by Wikstrom, who Ash only trained with because Goh wanted to go to him for Scyther's sake.>Ash catches Dracovish because Goh chose to battle and catch Arctozolt instead.And still the sweetest meme of it all.
>Ash arguably only defeated Leon because Eternatus' distraction both prevented Leon's Cinderace from using its Libero ability and refueled Ash's Dynamax band. Despite Eternatus technically being "owned" by Leon at this point, it was initially caught by Goh, and Goh technically only put it in Leon's care until he could become strong enough to care for it himself.Only Gohbros who were paying attention during Journeys realized he aided Ash on his climb to the top of the WCS every single step of the way, and debatably helped him cheat to beat Leon via Eternatus.
