>>52672384You're the one who is in full blown denial. You know how many Japanese kids' shows end with the protagonist all grown up at the end with a child that continues his journey? Many. It's a popular trope. And the green hair clip is an obvious nod to Ash. Not only that, Riko's description says that she has a talent for battling but remains quiet about her parentage. Gee, maybe it has to do with her dad being the goddamn Champion?
Seethe and cope.
