PKMN motivational-Ash Ketchum

EDIT: now I know they're not medals, they're badges. Me and my shitty English -.-''

I love motivational posters... but this is the 1st one I make.

So I was searching for Pokemon motivational posters and suddenly I came up with the idea. I really don't understand, after all he's gone through (or so he says), tell me: how can he still not know what a damn Confuse Ray is?
His gym battle against Lenora (Aloe in Spain) was emitted here for the 1st time last week and he actually looked surprised when Oshawott got confused after being hit by a Confuse Ray. That's only the last one I've seen, but not the only one and you know it.

So... yeah, I think Ash is just plain idiot . Iris and Cilan rule, but NOT Ash ¬¬

PS: sorry for my terrible English
