on my hands and knees begging ppl to recognize platonic content. sometimes 2 guys r just friends . i dont mean this in the 'stop making everything romantic way' i mean this in the 'stop calling 2 friends who bicker siblings and stop treating any remotely caring remotely older character like a parental figure' ohhhh my god . they are not siblings they r buddies . u are all underestimating the power of having a buddy
a little self indulgent because I love the chikorita line but he uses a lot of his old pokemon in his contests so in one of them, his bayleaf evolves! she's the epitome of gentle giant but still a very affectionate sweetheart! I just think meganium fits his personas aesthetic really well too
this is probably around the first week or so of learning their way around the Ashley persona. they try to lean away from ash's style as much as possible but there are some things he won't give up. Ash and the TRios first couple weeks working together is rough because both ash and jessie are incredibly stubborn and do not trust eachother in the slightest.
What if Ash were a streamer in the real world. And all his ‘Pokemon’ were really just Pets he has.
Instead of fighting, his Pokemon are just diligently trained to be safe with humans, and Ash eventually gets a sanctuary filled with a mass of Animals that love him.
