"You really need to stop being so reckless with yourself, Ash! One of these days you might end up in hospital without being discharged"
Gou was terrified even by his own sentence, he wouldn't be able to cope if that ever happened. Nevertheless, he ought to scold his crush to ensure it wouldn't.
"Who knows you won't worry yourself to death? Relax! I'll be fine. It's just a scratch"
"'Just a scratch'?"
Ash was grabbed by his older companion so he could see the wound dominating his arm.
"I'll be fine. You know stuff like this happened to me before"
"That concerns me even more"
They were interrupted by a Nurse Joy bursting through the door in a panic.
"We need to evacuate immediately!"
-Earlier-
"Are you sure this is going to work?", Alain asked his friend in worry as he readied Charizard to fly.
"Of course!", Mairin replied, "He'll never see it coming! It's the ultimate love gesture!"
"Just flowers or something would've been enough..."
"It's still a plant. It needs to be extravagant enough to hide the fact that we've been stalking him"
Professor Sycamore handed the other male a bag of seeds as he whispered, "A fellow man of trees...he should hang out with me, Birch and Oak sometime"
-Present-
Ash and Gou sprinted to the main entrance of the hospital, from which they could see a barricade of tall, strong trees. They looked as if they had just sprouted from the ground, seeing as the last time they saw the hospital they didn't recall it seeing them.
"Where did all these Ash trees come from?!"
As patients were being moved to ambulance cars, a flying Pokemon made its way down towards the two. Gou immediately noticed the bag of seeds and the band on the Trainer's arm, making his blood boil.
"You!", he yelled getting his attention, "Did you use Dynamax on those Ash seeds?!"
Alain ignored this random hotheaded stranger and proceeded to approach his crush. Annoyingly, the other blocked his path and seemingly wasn't planning to move.
"What is your problem?"
"I should ask you the same question! You just surrounded a hospital with trees! My, uh, b-boyfriend is getting treated here"
"Well then maybe you should stop wasting both our time and be with him"
"I was until you started walking towards him for no apparent reaso-"
"Alain!"
To Gou's dismay, Ash in fact recognised the other and greeted him with a handshake, which Alain somehow managed to turn into something of a hug.
"What are you doing in Galar?"
"Oh, you know, research with the Professor. Our next destination was a hospital, but, funnily enough, there are Ash trees everywhere"
He needed to play it safe just in case that hothead was in fact Ash's boyfriend, which as well as being heartbreaking, could mean he also didn't approve of the gesture.
Note to Alain. Stop going to Mairin for advice.
"I don't think I have to ask why you're in hospital. Being yourself, as always", he joked, cracking a chuckle out of Ash.

Pokemon Shipping Oneshots (Ash Ketchum Shippings Only)
FanfictionI decided to make this book where each part is a Oneshot of an Ash Ketchum shipping, since I don't really like ships that don't include him. I think most of them will be yaoi. I'm happy to take suggestions.
