anyway if i was misty just saying i'd leave the group train on my own rejoin and watch ash's progress and pay attention to his fighting styles again and challenge him until i won and then i'd slit his throat i'm sorry

#right so this has nothing to do with this poll but uh i saw misty and hard time and acted reflexively and now i have to talk about this #there is a reason why i have a visceral reaction here so let me explain #When i was a little girl watching pokemon ash had really started to get on my nerves #i didn't like his attitude.#i mean like he was arrogant wasn't he? he was.#i rmr getting increasingly annoyed bc he never loses and that just felt unnatural right but also like does he earn this?#does he really? or does he just scream about how cool he is and have tantrums #i just had my doubts about this kid #i really wanted to see him lose tbh #not even bc i hated him but bc like it was time #i felt this very strongly as a little 9 year old or something idr #like i was basically just watching the show for misty and brock at some point cos ash was really trying me by then right #anyway just as my irritation with him was coming to a peak i tune in one day and its the old one where the gym leaders are misty's sisters #and i was like YAAAAY MISTY #and she has sisters! and they're all gym leaders! how cool but scary right older sisters are not easy #but damn misty is finally gonna come into her own now #a moment of glory for misty here and it's in her home town! the significance! the meaning!#proving herself to her fam!#and she was gonna win against ash ya know making a more dynamic relationship between them and keeping the group interesting! what fun #and what a big moment right!#wrong #bc guess who gets the badge at the end #at her own family's gym. her home town. and her friend got the badge.#imagine the humiliation.#and like why though? misty is also really good at this she has the same experience as ash and it's HER HOME TURF #wouldn't it make SENSE that this battle would go her way?? using water pokemon her speciality? no? oh ok #that's cool i get it show #ash is god right? fuck the rest of us #i. fucking. hated it so much i never watched pokemon again #true story
