Cynical Optimist
No one said it's proof that Ash is 100% saying. Having any bit of nuance would lead you to realize that I posted it to let people have an opinion for themselves on what it means, but in my opinion it is pretty safe to say Ash is staying. But it's on you if you're misinterpreting this as 100% Ash is staying because his voice actress had an opinion on it and we give her statements more weight than randoms opinions who aren't involved in pokemon at all besides youtube videos.Again you can’t take what she says as evidence that Ash will stay. Just because something like Ash isn’t a Pokémon Master yet doesn’t automatically mean that he is staying as that is something she could saying regardless of whether or not he is staying.
Do just not really read what people post and just skim through because there are pretty much two people here that tried to use what Rica said as evidence that Ash will stay.

[Rica Matsumoto, Japanese voice actor for Ash Ketchum]“Although Satoshi [Ash] has won the title of Strongest Pokemon Trainer, he has still not become the Pokemon Master of his dream. It’s been 15 years since I began playing Satoshi, and he’s worked hard during this battle. The children who watched the first broadcast in 1997 have grown up and I think that some people have moved away from the anime. He’s one step away from becoming the strongest in the world of Pokemon. Kids and adults alike, please support Ash!”
