I don't own Pokemon.
Rebirthing
Ash Ketchum was lying in his bed at the Pokemon Center as he was feeling down and not very lively despite always having energy.
He had suffered a great loss at the Johto Silver Conference after making it so far to the top 8.
Misty and Brock tried everything they could think of to cheer the teen up and make him feel better, but nothing worked.
Even Pikachu tried to cheer up its trainer and friend, but even it didn't succeed in returning him back to normal.
Brock and Misty had agreed to bring in someone that they knew would make him feel better in no time.
They led him into the room where the raven-haired teen was and left the two alone.
The person sat next to Ash on the bed and shook him gently.
"Leave me alone, Misty." said Ash with his back to the person.
"Come on. Don't you wanna talk to me?" asked the person, causing Ash to perk up.
"Richie? Is that you?" asked Ash, turning around and realizing that it was his friend after all.
"Yep. It's me. I heard you were down about your loss. Losing happens." said Richie, smiling.
"Yeah. I didn't want to lose because I got so close to winning." said Ash, sitting next to Richie and looking down at the ground.
"Hey. Things happen. Don't get so down about it. Just look onto your next tournament." said Richie, cheering up his friend.
"You're right. I need to keep on looking for the next competition. Thanks so much, Richie." said Ash, standing up before turning and kissing Richie unexpectedly.
They both let go before they went back in for another kiss.
That was the start of something beautiful and both Misty and Brock knew this needed to happen.
