#ash is probably in his obligated emo phase at this age so he’s sticks out like a thore thumb from everyone but Cynthia

*at some kind of League members meet up, mid lunch*

Kukui: he-hey. hey. Has anyone seen Ash anywhere?

Couple o’Gym leaders: *points*

22 y/o Ash: *chilling around a table on his phone while somehow wearing Alders poncho, Steven’s jacket and Wallace’s scarf. With Leon and Lance’s capes noticeably draped around his lap and falling into the floor. All the while Cynthia is standing behind him braiding his hair.*

All other Champions: *happily eating and conversing over Ash’s head. Completely ignoring him besides Cynthia-who’s still in the conversation. Geeta and Nemona just watching it all go down in confusion.*

Kukui:…. I shouldn’t be so surprised, yet here I am. surprised yet again.
