>>24856695i keep having to bring up new points because you keep making up new stupid comparisons. serena almost touching ash's shoulder but him getting up first after falling and serena touching ash when he recovered from a near death skydive does not in any way indicate a change in her level of shyness or confidence. that is pure fucking grasping and you know it.
shifting his face to this
>>24856660 is even more evidence that he was just being friendly. the artists are plenty good with expressions and that face is clearly conveying friendly encouragement.
he said that he hoped the pokevision turns out, and she agreed. he then related it to his battles, and the league. he was talking to her about battling and his goal. that is nothing personal for ash, that is not "opening up." that being the content of their most personal conversation only supports my argument about how impersonal they are.
