The exploration of trust is also a big theme. How Ash used to trust his friends blindly and then how that trust is shattered. It could also show how he has to learn to be more cautious in future relationships. And sometimes, the fanfic might include a new friendship or alliance that Ash forms as a result of the betrayal, someone who stands by him when his old friends didn't.
One common theme could be Ash's feelings of isolation and despair. After being betrayed, he would likely feel very alone and question his past relationships.
Revenge might also be a theme. Ash could be driven to seek revenge on those who betrayed him, which could lead to a darker, more complex storyline. For example, he might plot against his former friends in a very calculated way. Another theme could be redemption. Maybe some of his friends later realize their mistake and try to make it up to Ash. This could involve a long and difficult process of rebuilding trust.
