|As implied by the title, it promotes the concept of individualism, at least in the English Dub. In addition, the character of Misty proceeds to risk her life to save Ash when he was nearly killed nearing the climax (with the Japanese version making a bit more blatant on the motivation by stating to Melody that "[Ash] is [her] burden.").
