>>34824243>literally the only canon on-the-lips kiss Ash has received>various promotional art of only the two of them and no other human character like Bonnie and Clemont>eternal heroine>immortal heroine>director himself states that he made it so that these two would get together in the future>no one at the top brass has attempted to stop this or made a comment on how Ash's future with girls is still not certain>life goal is literally to better herself that when she meets him again she would be a better woman for herOther girls/ships still trying to catch up years later. Lillie being paired up on the screen with Ash and in promotional material indicates that she is the main girl (sorry Lanacucks and Mallowcucks). It's natural, happens to every other girl, hence why Advanced, Pearlfags, and Negaifags exists despite no clear attraction from either of the characters (last one probably wants to strangle each other). But this constant spamming of Lillie and Ash (of fanart of all things) just shows the pathetic nature of their ship. Clearly, they are in a shadow that they cannot get away from, knowing how their ship is NON-CANON.
When the other girls just started the race, Serena is already at the finish line.
