>>18751057I can get where you're coming from, but is 'petty' the right word? Its simply an extension of what he's always done. The thing is, those outside factors, I think Ash would feel its not HIS and HIS mons efforts. If THEY give it their all, you're right, that is all that matters. I just think, if, say Alan turns out to be a gigantic asshole, or at least someone who wonders what all the hype about Ash is, he should be corrected of his notions, right?
Its a FAIR victory, since he's not borrowing legendaries, or using strength he didn't use with his own mons. He took no shortcuts.
Also, why Latias made you cringe? She was incredibly devoted, from what I can see. I mean ffs.
Plus, don't you want to see the Serena spaghetti at learning she stole Ash's first kiss?Then again, was it just a cheek kiss? Or a lip kiss? Or 'inbetween'?
