Ash had now burst into tears while Serena and Pikachu were consoling him . He was crying as he was really close with Brock whom ash thought of as his brother . Brock's betrayal had hurt the most to ash next to his mother's . Brock was a brotherly figure to ash and he was ash's best friend .
Serena:- There there ash , it's alright
Pikachu :- ( while crying ) Pika Pikachu Pika pii
Ash:- Ok I will stop
Ash sniffed and slowly stopped crying .
Alain:- What happened ash ? Why did you cry when you heard the name of —
Bonnie :- Don't say the name
Alain:- O..Kay ?
Aria:- But why did he cry ?
Ash:- I .. *sniffs* will explain .
Ash and everyone sit down in a circle and ash goes down the memory lane .
Ash:- It all began when I was 10. I woke up late on my tenth birthday and when I went to get my starter , professor oak revealed that all of the starters were gone . My choice was squirtle but it was taken away by Gary . So my only choice was a really strong yet stubborn Pikachu . I accepted him and continued on my journey . When I reached pewter city , the location of my first gym , I saw it was a rock and ground type gym . And being the noob I was , my team consisted of Pikachu , butterfree and a pidgeotto . I was brutally defeated by Brock who was the gym leader . His dad later helped me to win it and I win with the use of only Pikachu . He later came with me on my journey . He travelled with me throughout Kanto, Johto , Hoenn and Sinnoh . He was a brotherly figure , a mentor , a guide , an explorer and a genius . Though his one line always confused me . He called a rice ball a jelly filled doughnut . But then he betrayed me with the rest . I was hurt a lot but now I just gotta move on .
Alain:- Whoa
Aria :- I am so sorry
Everyone :- We too
Ash:- Don't be . Now let's go to sleep .

Ash:- Come on Pikachu , more power . I am using you in my battle against Brock .
Pikachu:- Pika Pika
Serena:- Ash where were you ? Do you realise how worried I was when you were not next to me ? I thought you had left me
Serena was now starting to tear up. Ash instantly regretted making her cry .
Ash:- Hey Hey Sere don't cry . I was just training . But I am sorry to not have informed you . From next time I will do that . Now please don't cry .
Serena:- Ok
Ash:- Come now we will sleep together . Return everyone .
