For Pikachu, it was a moment of encouragement. The journey until there was long and rough, and Pikachu have to go up and face the challenge.
For the viewer, who watched Pokémon since the beginning (probably since they was a kid), it's a throwback to all these years. As a quick flash of different moments of life when each team was the current of Ash. Of how you realize you grew up watching this journey, even from a distance, but still knowing some things. Because, even if you don't have too much faith in Ash for all his losses, you still care, even if a little.
