>>52681559It's not really any different with a guy and a girl. Anyway, this line is clearly meant to be understood as "I'm glad we became friends!" and anything else is headcanon - which is fine for those that want to believe, and if it makes them happy. Shipping is supposed to be fun anyway, not something to be taken seriously. Me? I really liked the short exchange between Ash and Goh. Nothing long-winded, but it was more than just a straight-up goodbye. Could definitely tell these two had become close in the time they spent together.
