Editing Ash Ketchum/Relationships (section)

===[[Charlie Barkin]]:===
Ash and Charlie had a rocky relationship at the beginning half of the movie. Upon learning about Charlie's past crimes, Ash wasn't terribly trusting towards Charlie and referred to him as a "back-stabbing mongrel". After seeing him warm up to Anne-Marie however, Ash slowly started to see that there could still be some goodness in the misguided dog. Throughout the movie him, Littlefoot, and the others decided to bring out the goodness in him by showing him that vengeance is not always the right answer and that money isn't always everything. They even taught him about love, friendship, loyalty, trust, compassion, understanding, courage, and honesty. When Annie-Marie ran got sick with pneumonia and was taken hostage by Carface Ash, Littlefoot and the gang went with Charlie to go save her. During the battle, the casino ship caught fire. Charlie told everyone to get out of there. Ash didn’t want to leave Charlie and wanted to help him save Anne-Marie. Charlie insisted that he'd be fine, and ordered him to take care of Littlefoot and his team since it was all his fault Anne-Marie got involved in his feud with Carface. With no other choice, Ash reluctantly did as Charlie told him and left to join the others. Charlie managed to get Anne-Marie to safety, but he could not save his life-watch as it filled up with water and stopped working. That caused him to drown and die underwater. Upon learning from Killer that Charlie died while saving Anne-Marie, Ash and his friends were devastated. To honor Charlie's sacrifice Ash, Littlefoot, and his team did a private funeral for him and saluted him as an honorary hero who gave his life for a sad and lonely little girl.
