As he begins to return to the castle Ash gave one final moment with Macbeth

Um Macbeth sir. I just wanted to say..thanks.. for everything you taught me not just about your past life & other things you've gone through. Like remember that you told me that love can be blind sometimes? Well I kinda had difficulties with girls(especially female creatures) & i never had interacts with them maybe when we meet again, i'll fill you of all the girls who had a thing for me. Also i'll stick with being a lone guy. I don't think ill ever find someone for me. It's just too much for me, not to mention it'd be very scary as well & it might not or never will be my thing at all. No offense to that. The kanto native said with a regret expression

The gray beard gave a smile while chuckling.

My boy. There's no need to feel bad. We have a choice to make of what we choose in our path. If what you said to me is true then i shall respect it. Like i said before, just beaware who you meet. Macbeth said

Ash nodded while smiling. But deep down as he thinks of the time he kinda had a date with his friend kat.

Man i sure hope Kat is ok. I really wished i'd said goodbye to her. Boy do i owe her an apology & explanation for this. Also i should tell her that maybe we should stick as friends. Cause after what Macbeth had told me about getting involved with girls. Also about my female companions & Serena's.. Ehh. I might not want to think about that.

The kanto native snapped out of his thoughts to pay back attention to Macbeth.

Also, please live happily. That's what your beloved Gruoch would want you as do i. And know this...you have friends with you. You're never alone. No matter the cause.

The gray beard cried a bit as he never felt so warm before that nobody has ever said this remarkable courage he had ever heard.

I will young man. And thank you for this. I will treasure this for all my life. He said with a smile

The gray beard offered a handshake

Ash smiled as he shook.

Scene ends as their hands held on.

A/N: The mention of Ash's pairing story with Kat is owned by Oathkeeper0317. Also to all authors including the ones in my fave list as well as you & Ms. Aoi. Pairings is really blind. It's not always worth it. I've seen this & i used to be a part of it. But now i know & i need to beware of it. Same goes for you. Friendship,Family,Love(family love is what im saying)Fantasy,Adventure,loyalty,Courage & many other remarkable things are better for Ash along with others like my future stories(& characters). I do hope you'll understand & see through it. It's blind & we need to watch out of who we meet. Anyways happy reading & may you find your success in your stories.(as in getting them finished til the very end. All your stories finished is what im saying)
