"Why?"

Ash turned his head to see his childhood friend/rival Gary giving him a pleading expression. The two friends/rivals were seated in coffee shop in Viridian City, as Gary is the temporary Gym Leader of Viridian Gym. Ash had a sprite since he doesn't like coffee, while Gary had a coke.

"Why what Gary?"-Ash asked as took a sip of his drink.

Gary gave him a mild glare as he asked again: "Why start a relationship with Cynthia, the Sinnoh Elite Four Champion? You know how demanding a job like that is Ash, plus she's older than you by 4 years. So why would you start a relationship with a Champion of all people? Was it because of the championship?" Gary nearly had a heart attack due to Ash's glare and killing intent.

When Ash spoke, it was in a deadly calm voice; "Gary, never ever say I'm with Cynthia for her championship! I actually don't care about the Sinnoh Championship, and the championship is not why I'm with Cynthia. Out of all the girls and women I met, she stood out the most. My journey through Sinnoh, our battles with Team Galactic and sometimes Hunter J brought us closer together as we got to know each other. I could actually see the two of us in a relationship. Besides she took me on as her apprentice. As for the age difference, 90% of romantic relationships between trainers and coordinators have an age difference. The most widely accepted number is ten years, so there's no problem."

"My mom has no problem with it since she's open-minded about nearly everything, so that's not a problem. So why do you have a problem with it Gary?"-Ash asked as he ordered a deluxe combo No. 6.

"I don't have a problem with it per say, just wondering why you know."-Gary said with a shrug. Ash gave him a hard look before digging into his arrived triple cheeseburger.

And cut! This was one was about how people would react to Ash's relationship with Cynthia.

I'm out this mutha.
