Once they arrive, Ash and Goh head to Kukui's habitation, where they are welcomed by all of Ash's Alolan team of Pokémon and Professor Burnet's newly born son, Lei.

Sun & Moon's Alola has a strong family unit vibe, and these moments of reflection and seeing how much the graphic symbol's lives have changed is a pleasant way to show not but their growth but how Ash affected them.

Plus, the series has been building up Bea to be Ash'southward battling rival.

While Goh loses the battle, he makes some new friends along the way. Despite Goh's lofty and ambitious goal of catching every Pokémon, including Mew, the Alolan gang support his dedication, clapping and cheering him on.
