happy pride trans malcolm

Yo so this was kinda one of my favorite moments in DP and it does well to show why I really adore the relationship between Ash and Dawn.

I explained in an previous post a long time ago about how shocking it was to see Ash in such a defeated state after losing so bad to Paul in their first full battle, he’s never been so visibly shocked by a loss and it’s even noticed by Dawn and Brock.

Even when Ash managed to feel better and get back to his usual self, Dawn was still worried for his well being, worried that he might be trying to push himself a bit to hard. After all, his Pokemon were still rather injured from their battle yet they were already fired up for the next challenge despite their condition, it’s expected Dawn would still be worried for them overexerting themselves.

So in an showing of genuine kindness which highlights just how much she cares for Ash’s well being, Dawn takes the time to prepare an entire comedy routine with her own Team just to make him and his Team’s spirits even higher. Even grumpy ol’ Mamoswine is willing to put with the hijinks just to fulfill her wishes. Really, the fact that she went through all this trouble and took the time just to do this for Ash is endearing enough, but it’s even more so when you consider how in the past, Ash would be the one who attempted to cheer up Dawn and raise her confidence back when she was in a rut, and as such I like to see it this entire scene as a representation of the both of them coming full circle and solidifying the entire dynamic the two share. The moment she saw Ash feel down about his loss, she started making plans cheer him up, and that’s how it’s always been with these two, If one feels down the other will always be there pick them back up and vice versa, a great representation of the friendship they share.
