“What were you thinking, Ash?” Lance scolded, as he wound bandages around the Pallet trainer’s wrist. “Gallivanting off on the roof like that! You’re lucky you didn’t break your neck!”

Ash flushed as he listened to the Dragon Master’s rebuke with half an ear. “I’m sorry?” He offered.

Pikachu licked his cheek sympathetically. She had landed without any problems, but Ash had tumbled like a sack of wet cement.

“I…”

“Yes?”

“I wanted to show off…”

“Ah.” Lance nodded. “What for?”

“I wanted to prove to Gary that I could walk across the roof without falling.”

“You two…” Lance shook his head. “Surely this rivalry of yours isn’t worth risking your life for?”

Ash flushed. “I…I guess you’re right.”

Lance finished, and released Ash. With a shake of his head, he walked off, cape undulating behind him.

Ash rubbed his wrist, wincing, and wondered why it hurt so much when Lance scolded him.
