>>54225215>>54225220While the gold-digger meme places Koharu's moment of revelation during the PWC battle with Leon, I like to imagine she first got the idea when she went to Alola and learned Ash was basically worshipped as a god by the populace when she saw that stadium crowd line up behind him. I can totally picture her coming back to Alola with her Alola champ and now-world champ boyfriend and using him to elevate her own social status, soaking in the attention just due to association with him, keeping free stuff and special privileges just because "she's the champion's girlfriend." Koharu's a very smart girl, so she'd absolutely know how to work it to get the best possible treatment.
