A Depressed Ash Some Confused Friends
Ash, Dawn, and Brock were travelling Sinoh together to compete at gyms and contests, what Dawn and Brock were confused about was why Ash was acting so depressed lately. Christmas was going to be here soon so they thought he should be happy. But his condition continued to do nothing but get worse now he wasn't even mentioning his gym battles or hunger. Team Rocket were following them again "why is the twerp so sad looking?" asked James, Jessie's response was "who cares maybe he'll be too sad to battle us for Pikachu", Meowth agreed "yeah let's take advantage of this opportunity". They Jumped out and begun their motto, halfway through ash said with an unenthusiastic flat sounding voice Ash told Pikachu to thunderbolt them away Pikachu followed through and sent Team Rocket "blasting off again" this only reminded him of what he was so upset about and he then begun to question himself under his breath, "why was I such an idiot? How could I have just kept everything to myself? Why couldn't I just say something?". Dawn tried to support him "Ash you're not an Idiot you taught me everything I know about Pokemon, you taught me to stand up for myself and never to loose hope even when you're down, and you did the same for May". Ash cringed when she said Mays name she didn't see it but Brock did and it rose some suspicions in his mind "does May have something to do with Ash's sudden depression?"
That night Brock woke up in the middle of the night and heard some faint crying. He went to go investigate and when he did he found Ash sitting on a rock holding his half terracotta ribbon crying with his forehead supported by his hand near a cliff out in the forest. The Ribbon raised Brocks earlier suspicions. Brock asked "Ash do you want to tell me why you're out here crying at all hours of the night?" All he got in return was silence, he then told him "well when you're ready to talk about it I'm here". Ash thought he was no longer within ear shot so he returned to talking to himself, "why did I let her go?" Unknown to him Brock heard this and continued to walk to the campsite. Brock begun to think "Now I'm almost positive it's May maybe he… wait is Ash even capable of that? Well he is teenager by now so I suppose… but wait he's always been so dense, uh this all too confusing I'll just
stop thinking about it."
Thus ends the first chapter when will we find out why ash is so depressed its quite possibly in the near future
