He'd go to all sorts of lengths to get people to support it, to the point he even made a semi-fanfiction on deviantart denouncing amourshipping with Serena "saying": "I'm sorry Ash. But...I like you as a friend only. I like Sean more. I hope you understand." Which depending on Sean's mood that day, Ash would either be accepting or a broken-hearted sore loser hell-bent on destroying Sean in a pokemon battle, to which Sean sweeps him 1-2-3 because of course he does.
Yup, he pulled the Ron the death eater trope AND the gary stu trope in one cringeworthy package. And surprise surprise, nobody liked it and lambasted him for it, to which HE responds with those crocodile tears I mentioned earlier.
And I know this because I was one of his targets.
