>>56858107The "big meeting" was just the start but didn't Ash's and Pikachu's bond took a while to be really strong? I remember another big step being the Surge fight so putting everything then is kind of a disservice despite whatever you might think of them.
So, is their bond at the level of OS Ash and Pikachu yet? Sounds he was sure he could make that happen despite GF telling them how the starter pick was fucking lame since that's the first step of the PC's journey
