I try not to remember it. [ Which is ultimately difficult because of those but during the day? He tries so hard to focus on other things. Which might be part of why he hasn't tried to learn how to use the stick, or anything else.
So is he turning a blind eye to reality? Yeah, he is. But could you really blame him? Well... depends on who you are, truth be told. ]
Mm... it wasn't that. [ It wasn't said much more than a whisper, but he still nods. It is true that sometimes moves or abilities can't be used because they're scared but that's not always the case as he's fully aware. ]
I-- I do try to do the best I can for my Pokemon as a trainer. I... [ He trails off, not really even knowing what to say to that. Because even though he does his best, Red is right. There's more that he can do, isn't there. Learn to heal, for one. But ...
Pikachu hops into Ash's lap to give him a voice of reassurance. Ash looks down at Pikachu for a moment, before looking at Snivy and finally Charizard before turning back to Red to respond. ]
Depends. There are times when they should try their best to get over it so they can become stronger. But, there are some things that they don't really need to learn or get over. They're fine just the way they are.
[ A few of his Pokemon come to mind as his speaks. For the former there is Oshawott, who was afraid to close his eyes underwater. Thanks to getting over that fear he was able to use Aqua Jet more accurately and get stronger.
For the latter... there was Infernape and its ability, Blaze. Ash told him he didn't need to use it in order to be strong. And that no matter what Infernape decided to do Ash will be there for him.
This situation was a strange mix of both, wasn't it? He doesn't have to learn it but he'll be stronger if he did. Yet, at the same time it almost feels like he has to or should learn it because it's nearly necessary. It's that or something else. Something that he's even less wanting to do. ]
But, no matter what it is I'll be right there with 'em and help 'em in anyway I can.
[ With those words he goes silent for a moment before speaking up again. ]
I'll ask my Pokemon this too, but what do you think, Red. Do ya think that I need to learn how to heal? That I'll regret it if I don't? Or that there is no other way?
