Pokemon Journeys: The Series introduced fans to a new hero, Goh, and the newest episode of the series let Goh make one thing clear to everyone about his relationship with Ash. He wants everyone to realize that he's an equal rather than just a bystander looking onto Ash's journey much like the companions of series' past. Pokemon Journeys has shaken up things from the rest of the franchise in a number of ways, but the biggest had to have been the debut of a deuteragonist for the first real time in the anime franchise.
