What was that line in the Japanese version? Can Satoshi be made into a pun, too?

I think it's more like "why did they make his name Ash specifically"

From Bulbpedo: "The original version made very clear when Ash was the one to save the world that Ash was the only "exceptional" trainer available at that moment due to collecting the treasures, instead of him being prophesized."

Like half the script for that dub was just made up by 4Kids and didn't have anything to do with anything anyone was saying in the original.
