>>41112319Anon, it's canon the more affection a pokémon and trainer share, the stronger and better-performing they become in battle. I just take that to its next logical step, by entering a consensual, loving relationship as an equal to unlock her fullest potential (Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and you must never get between a mama bear and her cub, imagine what coming up against a pokémon willing to go to the ends of the earth and beyond, for her trainer and lover is like).
