Editing Ash Ketchum/Relationships (section)

===[[Peter Pan]]:===
Ash first met Peter Pan when he and his friends were assigned to help Wendy babysit her brothers while the parents were away. During their time in Neverland, Ash slowly grew jealous of Peter due to his popularity and they became more like rivals than friends. After he reluctantly helped Peter save Tiger Lily from Captain Hook despite having difficulty cooperating with him, his own teammates began to ignore Ash and looked up to Peter more often. Feeling left out, Ash berated his friends for betraying him and not helping him when he needed them. This tension caused them to go their separate ways and split up, believing they were better off with Peter than with Ash. It wasn't until he learned about Captain Hook's plan of killing Peter with a time bomb wrapped in a box from Tinker Bell that Ash put his jealousy aside and saved Peter's life with Tinker Bell's help. While recovering from the explosion, Ash explained his dilemma to Peter and how much trouble his popularities had caused between him and his friends. Though he was sympathetic, Peter asked why he never told him about it before. Ash replied that it was because he and Peter weren't friends before. Upon hearing that, Peter apologized for being a jerk and for hurting him immensely. He explained that he just loved having so much fun, especially when it comes to fighting Hook and his pirate crew. Peter promises to be a better friend and to be more considerate if he gave him another chance, which Ash happily agrees to. Ash then apologizes to Peter for being a jerk and for being so jealous of him at Skull Rock, to which Peter forgives him for. Soon after reconciling, the boys spent a bit of time getting to know each other and made a friendly truce, ending their rivalry for good. After working together to save everyone and stop Captain Hook, Peter told the Lost Boys, Wendy, John, Michael, Misty, and Brock the story of everything Ash had been through since coming to Neverland. Out of deep gratitude and generosity for the remarkable hard work and effort he had done, Peter gave Ash something he wanted ever since coming to Neverland: the praise and recognition from its citizens, much to Ash's happiness. Since then, Ash and Peter came to good terms and became much better friends.

In the sequel, Ash and Peter's relationship seemed to have improved a lot since they made their truce and became better friends. After rescuing Wendy's daughter, Jane Darling, from Hook, Ash told Peter that the pressures of World War II caused her to grow up too fast and locked away her inner child, making her become strict and cynical as her grandfather once was before her. He then asked Peter and the Lost Boys to help Jane reunlock her inner child, show her how to have fun, lighten up, and open herself up to people. Peter and the Lost Boys were delighted to help, though it proved to be a more difficult task than Ash and Peter expected it to be. After Jane angrily blurted out that she didn't believe in Peter, magic, and fairies, Tinker Bell started becoming sick and it made both Ash and Peter worried. Upon learning that Tink's light would go out and die if they didn't get Jane to reconsider her disbelief, it became apparent that the situation was getting worse than he thought. Ash tells Peter that he and his friends would stay behind and look after Tinker Bell while he and the Lost Boys went out and looked for Jane, which Peter deeply appreciated. Peter even promised Ash that he and the boys would help Jane loosen up once they found her, which he did when they played a small game of treasure hunt. In the midst of celebrating Jane becoming the first Lost Girl, the game turned out to be a trap formulated by Captain Hook. Peter Pan and the Lost Boys were then captured and taken to the Jolly Roger. Jane quickly rushed back to Hangman's Tree to alert Ash and his friends about Peter's plight after helping to restore Tinker Bell's light. Upon hearing the shocking news, Ash was angry at Jane for disobeying his orders to stay away from Hook and putting Peter's life at risk. After seeing how remorseful Jane was when she broke down in tears and admitted that she wanted to make things right, he naturally forgave her. Ash became incredibly desperate to save his former rival from the deranged pirate who wanted to kill him so badly. After making Jane promise she'd change her ways, Ash, Misty, Brock, Pikachu, Jane, and Tinker Bell formulated a rescue plan. Ash knew that they were gonna need as much help they could get, so they travelled to Mermaid Lagoon and the Indian Camp respectively to speak to the inhabitants and ask them for a helping hand in rescuing Peter. The mermaids provided aquatic weapons while the Indians provided arrows, bows, war paint, axes, and spears for the five heroes to use. They even went to a cave where they seek help from Captain Hook's old enemy, Tick-Tock Crocodile, so that he can act as their trump card for the rescue mission. With the battle preparations and rescue plan set in motion Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Brock, Jane, Tinker Bell, and the entire adventure team rushed to the Jolly Roger and successfully saved Peter Pan and the Lost Boys from the wicked Captain Hook. They soon sent the cowardly pirate and his crew packing, never to return and torment anyone ever again. In deep gratitude for the daring rescue, Peter escorted Ash, Jane, Pikachu, and their friends back home to London on Earth. After Peter spent time to see Wendy alone, Ash took Danny to see Peter fly away where they said goodbye and promised to see each other again one day.
