Editing Ash Ketchum/Relationships (section)

=== [[Forte]]: ===
When Ash met Forte, he was nice to him at first. But when he saw the sudden look of evil in his black eyes, he and Pikachu grew suspicious and start to wonder whether if he is someone to be trusted. When he tricked Belle into going out into the Black Forest in an attempt to get rid of her, Ash decided not to go with her because he didn't trust Forte's suggestion. Soon, when Belle didn't return and Cogsworth is trying to find her for the Beast, Ash and Pikachu grew worried and wondered if Forte's suggestion was nothing but a setup. In order to prove it, they decided to go out and find her with Lumiere, Cogsworth, and some of his friends. But little did Ash knew, Forte made things worse when he tricked the Beast into believing that Belle abandoned her out of spite and then hypnotized him into loathing her so that he wouldn't fall in love with her. With the enraged Beast under his control, he manipulated him into destroying the decorations and the party table everyone left out for the celebration before going out after Belle in a blind rage. After saving her from her icy demise, the Beast arrogantly threw her into the dungeon under the false belief that she abandoned him, disobeyed him, and broke their promise to never leave the castle on her father's behalf. All hope seemed lost, and it looked like Forte had won when he seemingly succeeded in ruining Belle and the Beast's relationship and ruined Christmas for everyone. But just when the villainous pipe organ was about to fulfill the final phase of his plan as he begins to manipulate the hypnotized Beast into destroying the rose, Ash and Pikachu interfered and zapped the Beast back to his senses. With the Beast free from the mind-control and the rose safe, Ash and Pikachu were furious with Forte for setting Belle up, ruining the Beast's relationship with her, and for sabotaging the Christmas planning. After Ash and his friends managed to peacefully talk some sense into the Beast while reading Belle's book he received as a gift, they went down to the dungeon and released Belle, so they'll have the celebration for real. But Forte wasn't about to give up that easily. In a last attempt to stop Belle and the Beast from falling in love and breaking the spell, he tries to destoy the castle with his loud music. During the battle, Ash exposes Forte's plans to Belle, his team, and the entire castle, causing everyone to turn him. The pipe organ tries to hurt Belle who tries to protect Chip. But Ash risked his life when he pushed her to safety and ends up getting knocked out unconscious. The Beast finally sees that Forte is becoming far too dangerous and harmful to remain alive and defeats him when he destroys the keyboard.
