At the start, Ash would be devastated. His whole world has been turned upside down. All the relationships he had built over the years seem to be gone in an instant. But as time passes, his natural resilience would kick in. He would remember all the challenges he has overcome in the past. He would start to analyze the situation. He might suspect that there is an external force at play causing his friends to act this way. So he would begin to investigate, while also trying to keep his spirits up. He would not let this setback completely destroy him. Instead, he would see it as just another big obstacle in his path to becoming a Pokémon Master.
Ash might be heartbroken at first. He'd feel a deep sense of loneliness and confusion.
I think Ash would be angry as well as hurt. He's a passionate trainer and his friends mean a great deal to him. He might challenge May in a Pokémon battle, not to defeat her but to make her see how wrong her betrayal is. And during the battle, he would keep asking her to come back to their old friendship.
Ash would be extremely hurt. He's a very loyal person, and having someone he cares about like Lillie betray him would be a huge blow. He might initially go into denial, not believing that Lillie could do such a thing.
Ash could get angry. He has a strong sense of justice, and he might feel that May has violated their friendship. He could challenge her, not in a violent way, but more in a way to get an explanation and to try to make her see the error of her ways. He would likely be determined to show her that what she did was wrong.
Ash would likely be shocked at first. He's so used to seeing the good in people, especially fellow trainers. But then he'd probably get angry and determined to set things right. He has a strong sense of justice, so he wouldn't let the betrayal go unpunished.
Ash would probably be initially shocked. He is used to seeing the good in people and would not expect such a betrayal from Cynthia. He might stand there in disbelief for a moment, unable to process what has just happened.
Ash would probably be really hurt at first. He's always been so trusting of his friends. He might go off on his own for a while to clear his head, like he did when he had a falling - out with some of his friends in the past.
Ash would probably be very shocked and hurt. Pokemon are like his family, and for Misty to steal one would go against everything he stands for.
Ash would probably be devastated. He would feel like his world has been turned upside down. At first, he might not believe it and think it's all a big mistake. As the reality sinks in, he could start to isolate himself from others, even from his Pokemon for a while. However, his strong will would eventually kick in. He would use this as motivation to become stronger, not just in his Pokemon battles but also in his ability to face challenges alone, without relying on his so - called friends.
Ash would be extremely devastated. Pikachu is not just his Pokémon but also his closest friend. He would likely first try to reason with Pikachu, not believing that Pikachu could truly betray him. He might be in denial for a while.
Ash would feel a deep sense of betrayal that could shatter his usually upbeat attitude. He might go through a period of self - doubt. However, his love for his Pokémon and his sense of justice would pull him out of it. Mewtwo, having already experienced betrayal from humans in the past, would be filled with a cold fury. It would use its psychic abilities to gather information about the betrayers. Ash and Mewtwo would work together, Ash learning from Mewtwo's insights and Mewtwo being inspired by Ash's tenacity in the face of betrayal.
