Brock was exhausted after both the mission to rescue people from the witches, and the healing he'd had to do after in his weapon form. Especially Ash. He'd been a mess. If Brock hadn't been a potion at the time, he probably wouldn't have been able to stop tears running down his face as he looked down at Ash's pitiful frame on the operating table. As it was, his heart had been heavy as he and Naomi worked on repairing the significant damage done to the teenager.

Despite being completely drained of all potion, and desperately needing sleep to recuperate himself, Brock dragged himself into Ash's room, regardless of the admonishment Naomi had given him. He pulled a chair over to Ash's bedside, took his friend's small hand in his own, and leaned over, his forehead resting on the bed. "Ash...please be okay..."

That was a voice he recognized! It was Brock...but he didn't sound the way Brock was supposed to. It took a few minutes but he managed to open his eyes a little. It was to get a look and make sure the Brock next to him was real, but he was distracted by where he was. Not a cell but an actual hospital.

He glanced down at the hand holding his, wondering if this was something new. Trying to figure out just how long it would take for this pleasant scene to cascade into a nightmare.

"B-brock?" His voice cracked but it didn't stop him from speaking up, just like Naruto had shown them. If they were quiet, then the witches had won. He tried to move his hand to get his friends attention but his wrist was still sensitive and he stopped the attempts pretty fast.

Brock raised his weary, disheveled head at Ash's voice, his bloodshot eyes filled with relief as he looked up at Ash's face. "Ash...you're awake. Thank god..." His grip on Ash's hand tightened. "I was so worried...I didn't know if you'd pull through...I'm so sorry."

His eyes clenched shut as he brought up his hands along with Ash's, still wrapped in his grip, to his forehead and bowed his head, leaning on them. "I was so afraid you were dead..."

It takes a moment for him to focus, whatever was keeping the pain dull was always keeping him from paying attention easily. He shook his head carefully, "Can't die..." he muttered a little before clearing his throat and trying not to wince at his wrist being moved. "You look tired."

Yeah, not much sense there but he is gonna put a hand on Brock's head. Just to make sure that this Brock is really here, and not something his mind is cooking up just to mess with him.
