And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know

Title is Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift

In the world of Pokémon battles, Ash Ketchum had faced countless challenges, but one fateful day, a battle took an unexpected turn. Ash and his trusty partner, Greninja, were locked in a fierce confrontation against a formidable opponent. Their determination to win knew no bounds, but victory came at a price.

After an intense clash of moves, Ash and Greninja emerged victorious, but not without injuries. Ash, trying to shield his beloved Pokémon from harm, had taken some powerful hits himself. As the adrenaline of battle subsided, he realized he was hurt more than he initially thought.

Later that day, Ash returned to their campsite, a pained expression hidden beneath his usual cheerful demeanor. He knew he had to address his injuries, but he didn't want to worry Serena and Bonnie. Instead, he confided in his friend and fellow Gym Leader, Clemont, about his condition.

"Clemont, I need your help," Ash whispered, his voice filled with concern. "I got hurt in our battle today, but I don't want Serena and Bonnie to know. Can you keep it a secret?"

Clemont, always loyal to his friend, nodded solemnly. "Of course, Ash. I'll do my best to help you, but remember that you can't hide this forever."

As the day wore on, Ash attempted to go about his usual routine, hiding his injuries under his shirt and pretending everything was fine. But Serena, perceptive and caring, noticed that something was amiss. She saw the way Ash winced when he moved a certain way, and she couldn't ignore the signs any longer.

In the late afternoon, Serena decided she had enough of Ash's stubbornness. She pulled Clemont aside and instructed him, "Clemont, take Bonnie out of the room. I need to talk to Ash alone."

Clemont, understanding the gravity of the situation, quickly went to fetch Bonnie, leaving Serena and Ash alone in their temporary camp.

With a stern expression, Serena confronted Ash. "Ash, I know something's wrong. You're hurt, aren't you?"

Ash hesitated for a moment before sighing, realizing he couldn't keep it from her any longer. He slowly removed his shirt, revealing the bruises and wounds he had been trying to conceal. Serena gasped at the sight.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Serena's voice held a mix of concern and frustration. "You can't just hide something like this."

Ash lowered his gaze, feeling guilty for keeping it from her. "I didn't want to worry you, Serena. I thought I could handle it."

Serena's expression softened, and she moved closer to him. "Ash, you don't have to carry everything on your own. We're a team, and we care about you. Let me patch you up."

Blushing slightly, Ash nodded, grateful for Serena's understanding. As she carefully cleaned and bandaged his injuries, their bond deepened. Serena's gentle touch and words of comfort were a reminder of the strength of their friendship and the importance of relying on each other.

Once she had finished, Ash smiled at Serena, touched by her kindness. "Thanks, Serena. You're right; I shouldn't have kept it from you. I promise I'll be more honest in the future."

Serena returned his smile, relieved that Ash had opened up to her. "Just remember, we're here for you, no matter what. You're not alone in this journey."

With their bond reaffirmed, Ash and Serena faced the challenges of their Pokémon journey together, stronger than ever, and with a deeper understanding of the importance of trust and honesty among friends.
