[After losing the Gym Battle to Wulfric in the previous episode, a depressed Ash sits in the woods]
Ash!
Huh...? [He looks up to see Serena, breathing heavily, has found him in the woods] I'm sorry... [holds the rim of his cap] I shouldn't have just left you like that.
[approaching Ash] Ash... if something is bothering you, you can talk to me. I'll listen, anytime you want! [Ash just looks down and says nothing] Seriously! Anytime, anywhere! [still no reaction] I know how you feel. I've been there! [Ash just continues to sit there moping] Remember when I really goofed at the Showcase?
[as she says this, Ash suddenly gets angered and stands up]
YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE HOW I FEEL!
[Serena is shocked at the sudden outburst and starts getting upset]
Then tell me about it!
It's none of your business. Leave me alone!
[He turns away and hangs his head. Having enough, Serena throws a snowball at Ash, much to his confusion.]
The Ash I know is full of energy. He's a leader. Always tries his best! He's always positive, and he never gives up! [welling with tears] He hangs in there until the very end! [continues throwing snowballs at Ash] You're not acting like the Ash I know! [a snowball eventually hits Ash in the face, and he collapses on the snow] Stop! Give me back the real Ash, because YOU SURE AREN'T HIM!
[She sobs and runs off as Ash lies there contemplating.]
"Real Ash"? Whoa... [An Oddish, Budew, and a Sentret watch him. Before long, he finally realizes that all Serena wanted to do was to help him through his depression...] Oh, man...!
[Ash screams in frustration, startling the Pokémon watching and some Fletchings, who fly out of a tree in a panic. He gets up and stretches.]
I've had enough of this! I'm overthinking it! It's making my head hurt. I've gotta get myself in gear! [stands up and stretches his legs] If there's something I don't understand, all I've gotta do is get moving! I'll figure it out. [puts on his cap and sets off]
