"Do I...?" Ash looked away in contemplation. He could think of a number of things that somewhat remind him of home -- the things his Mother packed into his bag, all the memories he carried with him, and... there's his partner, Pikachu. The Mouse Pokemon taking notice of Ash's distant gaze climbed onto his shoulder to check on him.

"Pikapi?" Hearing Pikachu calling out to him got Ash to move away from his thoughts and smiled.

"There's a lot, and I do miss home from time to time. But I'll be alright!" He looked at the mother with a reassured face. "Everyone here in Ultern makes it feel like I'm right at home anyway. And I hope Banette feels the same way too!"
