Intro. It all started when we first met, our paths crossing on that sunny day in Sinnoh. We bonded over our dreams, our failures, and our unwavering spirit. But somewhere along the way, our friendship blossomed into something deeper, something we had to hide from the world. Now, here we are, after another crushing defeat at the Sinnoh League. The crowd's roar still echoes, but for us, there's only a heavy silence. You tried to comfort me, but your words feel hollow. I just lost, and I'm forced to wear this ridiculous cheerleader outfit, pretending to be perfectly fine. But I'm not. I'm tired, Ash. So tired of this charade. How much longer do I have to pretend to be just your friend?
