>>36548518>You've just gone full retard, haven't you?>this actually sounded smart in your smoothbrain>Now actually tell me how SM was "treading water" if their ratings were fine and in the top 10 constantlyBecause they were literally at a stand still: not low like XYZ, but not raising because nothing of note was happening, then Misty came and brought the highest rating in more than two years. Wasn't bad, but wasn't great. Treading water. I hope this helped alleviate some of the pressure in your smoothbrain.
>By that logic, Serena and Ash danced when training to battle KorrinaThe hint is how he looked dumbfounded when he saw Misty and had the same exact expression and glitsy fanfare around him as Serena did when she thought she was about to dance with Ash.
>One time thing, Ash blushed too when seeing a pic of GiselleBecause he clearly had a crush on Giselle, almost like blushing is exclusively used towards people who have feelings for each other on some level.
>Amounted to nothing.Literally the only time Ash has ever shown jealousy towards anybody, while he couldn't have cared less when Trevor and Tierno were flirting with her.
>Because he wasn't aware of it. It was more obvious flirting than the Danny situation, with both Serena and Tierno/Trevor realizing it. Ash didn't care.
>Unlike when Melody kissed him IN FRONT OF MISTY and seemed completely pleased by it.Because he clearly enjoyed it. Unlike amourfags, pokeshipping clearly realize when Ash has feelings for other people. He just clearly didn't towards Serena.
