   Summary

   This is an alternate universe where Ash Ketchum, the dense boy who might think romantic is another move in batte. In reality, he understand love. Romantic love. He knew even the smallest hints from the past companions he travelled with.

   Ash isn't dense. In fact, he put on this mask for years for reasons that are considered as heartbreaking. How will Ash tell the others once the masquerade has ended? Only this might tell.
