* How Wicke saved Stufful. During a patrol, she found the poor thing with its legs stuck under a fallen tree and rushed to help dig it out, taking it to be treated for its injury since there was no one else around to show where Stufful's family could be. You really see how much Wicke cares about the little pokemon when Stufful disappears, even if it's because Stufful is tailing Team Rocket.
* Stufful [[BigDamnReunion reuniting with its mother,]] who just so happens to be Team Rocket's Bewear. At first, Bewear is just dropping in like she usually does when Team Rocket's plans start going south. But when she notices Stufful clinging to Jessie's hair, they ultimately recognize each other, and Stufful jumps off of Jessie and [[BigDamnHug into Bewear's arms]]! Wicke is, of course, thrilled to see that Stufful's family came for it. Both Stufful and Bewear even wave goodbye to her before they leave Aether Paradise together, Team Rocket in tow.
** Later on, Wicke finds a leafy bowl filled with honey on the catwalk under where Bewear busted through the glass ceiling. Looks like Bewear and Stufful sent her a sweet little thank-you gift after they got home!

* After Ash screams in excitement that he'll be participating in the Battle Royale, Lei also screams in excitement and Professor Burnet asks Lei if he's copying his big brother. Not much later, as soon as Ash declares that it's time to start training for the Battle Royale, he gets a big hug from Lucario that he doesn't expect.

* After Ash defeats Leon and becomes the new World Champion, his voice cracks as he runs towards Pikachu and calls out to it. It's enough to show that Ash is feeling both disbelief and joy to the point of tears at winning the World Championships and with his lifelong partner no less.

* Ash’s journey in these final episodes isn’t finding the next great challenge or solving some big mystery, it’s catching up and traveling with old friends both human and Pokémon.

Added DiffLines:

* In ''Forest Grumps'', the main trio and the Team Rocket trio encounter Ursaring, causing Misty and Jessie to be separated from their usual friends. Both groups (Ash, Brock, and Jessie in one, James, Meowth, and Misty in the other) spend much of the episode looking for one another.
** Jessie takes note about how much Ash, Brock, and Pikachu care for Misty, and wonders whether or not her friends are worried about her. We find out in the next scene that James and Meowth ''aren't'' worried about her, because they are so confident about her ability to survive on her own.
** The episode displays why the main trio make for such great traveling companions, with Jessie and Misty noting that thanks to Brock's efforts they eat much better than Team Rocket. Jessie also is envious of how warm (literally and figuratively) of an environment being with them can be. The main trio each individually are willing to generously share what they have with their temporary allies.
** Ash has two tender moments with Pikachu, reassuring him in both that they'll soon be reunited with their friend. They snuggle together in Ash's sleeping bag.
** After successfully surviving a collapsing bridge, all six and their pokemon are so overjoyed that they briefly forget that they are supposed to be enemies, dancing excitedly with one another while the pokemon who spearheaded their rescue shake hands.
** When the groups are first reunited, and then later when the main trio have finally dispatched all the dangers around them, Ash, Brock and Misty express how much they missed one another and are glad to see the team back together.

* When Pikachu looks to have been too exhausted to continue, he has a vision of all of Ash's other Pokemon cheering him on. ''All'' of them. This gives him a HeroicSecondWind backed by "Mezase Pokemon Master".

* In a special episode starring Brock, a shot of his room shows several photos of all [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Brock_Memories.png his previous traveling companions]]. In a meta sense it also really shows just how long he's been on the anime, even if he received relatively little focus in spite of it.

* When Charizard returns for the first time in quite a while, he and Ash [[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/777/DP282.jpg share a fistbump]] after the obligatory Flamethrower greeting.
** The series of flashbacks Ash has of his time with Charizard are a meta example: even though we may never see Primeape or Pidgeot again, seeing them animated in the new style was pretty heartwarming. They've been gone from the show for over 12 years, after all.
*** Shortly after Charizard's return, he and Pikachu reunite and it involves Pikachu ''sitting adorably on Charizard's shoulder and raising a hand in acknowledgement of greeting.'' Charizard gives a thumbs up in reply.

* A meta heartwarming came after the English dub of this episode hit Netflix when Leon's English voice actor Creator/AlejandroSaab [[https://twitter.com/KaggyFilms/status/1304519476369453056 revealed]] that he'd been watching the show since he lived in Ecuador and didn't know how to speak English yet. Getting cast in the show is clearly a personal moment for him beyond being a PromotedFanboy.

* Ash receives a Pokémon Egg, and it hatches into a Riolu. Not only do they bond immediately after Riolu personally sees Ash's aura, but it goes meta as many fans wanted Ash to receive a Lucario from its anime debut in [[Anime/PokemonLucarioAndTheMysteryOfMew Movie 8]].
** Upon receiving the egg, Ash touches it and declares that it's "so warm"; Pikachu then leans in and begins ''stroking the egg''.

* When Pikachu looks to have been too exhausted to continue, he has a vision of all of Ash's other Pokemon cheering him on. ''All'' of them. This gives him a HeroicSecondWind backed by "Mezase Pokemon Master". In the English dub they use the original opening sung by Jason Paige instead, which qualifies as a meta- heartwarming moment since the English dub normally avoids 4Kids-era music.

* Meta example: On September 15th, 2019, Ash Ketchum trended on Twitter as fans all over the world celebrated him ''finally'' winning a regional Pokemon League. Even ESPN celebrated under both its main Twitter account and [=SportsNation=]. Creator/VeronicaTaylor, the English voice of Ash in the 4Kids era, even sent out congratulations in her Ash voice.
** The following year, "[=NationalAshKetchumDay=]" was trending online owing to fans. Veronica Taylor herself made a Tweet about it and then the official Pokemon Twitter account did so as well. Not bad for something started by the fans.



* Meta example: Fans were greatly disappointed over the amount of recap episode interruptions during the Masters 8 arc and the poor execution of the battles without Ash (except for Iris and Cynthia's battle). However, when it was discovered that the production team and animators were understaffed and overworked, the outrage died down with audiences being more sympathetic and understanding of the situation, and being more appreciative of the final battle which clearly had the most effort put into it.

** Despite the unceremonious leave from Team Rocket through its trade, Lickitung comes off as rather happy with its new owner, Benny, who in turn hopes Jessie takes good care of his Wobbuffet and as noted above he does need to worry.
