>>20818574disagree, its not like if she is completely neglectful with her pokemon. She shares a strong bond with Fennekin in a fairly short amount of time that seems pretty strong.
The sub plot also doesn't take away from the battles and other activities. It's not completely disconnected but I'd see why people would have a problem with it, but it isn't like if the plot comes to complete stand still for the pairing. Unlike the now infamous Korrina/Auradoge arc.
