Pokemon: A Journey of Love with a Crybaby

I must have come to this world just so I could meet Ash! Unlike the Ash I know, so lively, passionate, and strong-willed, the Ash Bess meets is shy and timid, insecure and weak... He seems completely opposite to the person in her memories. But... No matter what kind of personality Ash has, he really does love Pokemon most of all! Even when he’s so sad he sobs uncontrollably, even when he’s so timid and insecure he can barely stand up for himself... he’s still the bravest kid, always willing to do anything for Pokemon! So... “Ash! Please, let me be your traveling companion, no matter what. Let’s travel together!” “Belle? Why are you saying that all of a sudden... We, we... We agreed we’d always stay together, didn’t we?!” “...Yeah! I really do like Ash best!” P.S. This is the Ash from the Mirror World, who appeared in the XY arc. This is a self-insert romance story. The premise is that the Ash in a parallel world is completely different from the Ash in the main world, and that’s established from the very beginning, so there’s no issue with the plot or characterization being out of character. But whichever personality Ash has, I love him sooooo much! Following the anime’s setting that ten-year-olds are old enough to travel, the story will include affection developing during the journey, moments when feelings are revealed, and declarations of love, but it won’t quite count as love. So until they’re eighteen, they’ll remain childhood friends who are more than friends but not quite lovers. I’ve only watched the anime and don’t know the game lore very well. So the detailed information about Pokemon in this story is all from Baidu, and it definitely won’t hold up to strict scrutiny.
