What it means to be Ash Ketchum

As he prepared to face his final challenge, the Kalos League, the boy who’s strength they had all come to respect so much turned around, and spoke these words, and for no longer than a fraction of a second, one could certainly catch a glimpse of the feelings of doubt brought by his past experiences. 

In that moment, only Pikachu understood what it truly meant to be Ash Ketchum~

Something different this time, I'm not even quite sure what inspired me to do this, but basically this is about Ash's inner sadness, knowing that he might have to start over yet again soon, that the loop will indeed be endless. 

Granted, this time his chances of winning seem ACTUALLY quite real so I'm excited about that, but nevertheless gotta stay realistic when it comes to this show. No matter what happens I'll never forget about XY, it's been a great time~
