Top 10 Reasons Ash Should End with Misty Instead of Serena
Ash is meant for Misty, not for other foolish girls like Serena and Dawn.
I agree. Although Misty is a bit of a tsundere, they do have a stronger relationship, whereas deredere Serena has a one-sided crush.
I kind of like movie Pokeshipping as Misty seems less temperamental in general and has a lot of cute moments in them.
But yeah, Serena is so stupid and useless. She put everyone in danger just to save her pretty face! Great job!
Misty saved Ash from almost drowning in Pokémon 2000. In the same situation, Serena would be just as useless as Aquaman on land.
Yeah, she saved Ash too many times to count.
Misty stayed with Ash all the way from Kanto, the Orange Islands, and Johto. She returns several times and even shows up at Ash's house when he returned from Hoenn.
She shares a long journey with Ash and never leaves him alone throughout the journey, helping him to become a good trainer. She even takes good care of his Pokémon. She only likes Ash's Bug Pokémon.
Misty is Ash's true childhood friend, not Serena.
She may have started the journey for her bike, but later she liked traveling with him. She was the very first companion of Ash and was always worried about him.
At one point, she got so jealous when Macy got too close to Ash that she threw her arm right between them. In XY, Serena mostly just stands there in shock, doing nothing.
Misty becomes so jealous of other girls. She really doesn't like Ash to be with others. Of course, she hates it.
In the movie 2000, she was jealous when she saw Melody kiss Ash and ignored him when he asked her to come with him to the temple to find the stones. She was angry that Ash was showing interest in Melody.
Which is something Serena rarely ever does.
Yes, she is. That's why she's a gym leader and she deserves to be one. Her battling skills are awesome and the way she battles is amazing.
If by strongest you mean she can kick the other Pokegirls' butts without her Pokémon, then I can see that more than her having stronger Pokémon (though I think Iris is pretty strong too. She took on a Pokémon with her bare hands and constantly swings on vines, having to continuously hold her weight).
Rudy was completely in love with Misty. When he asked her to stay with him, she became conflicted but made her choice pretty clear when she cheered against Rudy for Ash.
Rudy even said, "She wants him," and then tried to hint to Ash by telling him he was a very lucky guy.
This is a good point. Anyone who says otherwise has no idea what they're talking about.
This is true love. She gave up staying with Rudy because she knew who was perfect for her.
As much as I like Serena, the whole reason she even became a trainer and went on her journey in the first place was to see Ash again, hoping that he would remember her and instantly fall for her. She was extremely disappointed when he didn't even remember her, which is not a great sign.
Meanwhile, Misty was already a trainer when she first met Ash and traveled with him after he accidentally destroyed her bike. She tells him the reason she follows him is so he will repay her for her bike, which he never does. But in reality, she wanted to travel with him.
The Newcomers
Ash may pull her leg, but he had deep feelings for her inside his heart. He really cared for her, and she is more than a best friend to him.
She is the only companion he talked about even in further series. He always kept her presents safe and did not let anyone touch them.
Don't you remember that Ash cried when she left him?
Ash only blushes for Misty, the only Pokégirl until now. He also had a crush on her.
Misty showed up at his home when he returned from the Hoenn region.
When Misty is close to some guys, Ash shows his jealousy and affection. There is a phrase that those who quarrel more but really care for each other are the best couples and they are in love.
Not only jealousy, but she is the only girl he blushes for. Like that time when Jessie called them a couple and they both denied it by blushing.
Once again, no offense to Amourshippers, but Ash and Serena's whole relationship was completely forced. Serena desperately wanted Ash to love her back, while Ash and Misty's relationship just felt very natural and not forced.
Yeah! Misty met Ash and grew to love him. Serena literally fell in love with him after ONE SECOND! False, very, very false.
They grew together, they matured, they had a great time, and she wasn't just following him around to like her.
I get mad when I hear that Serena and Ash had a history when he just took care of her hurt leg and then didn't even remember her at all.
When Celebi appears, it means there will be a bright future. He appeared right at that moment. That's proof that Misty is Ash's true love.
So true. She's the only one who comes back often. After seeing May in contests and then meeting Dawn, he could have said something about May and given advice to Dawn, but he didn't.
As for Serena, if he loved her after all the signs she showed and kissed him at the end, he would have thought of or mentioned her at least once.
It's kind of funny that Ash, despite traveling with May, Dawn, and Iris, has never really talked about them after they left. In Alola, he has not once mentioned Serena's name, while after Misty left, he talked about her a lot, even stating that he really misses her.
Dudes, you should consider that Misty is a real badass, but Serena does ride big Pokémon at the end. Plus, right now Ash is a little too immature to know who to love.
Yeah, she pretty much is. In my opinion, Misty is much better than Serena in every way.
Well, even if I love Serena more than Misty, I think this is somehow true.
I think it's because it's the first time since episode 1 where he's aware that he's going to be traveling away from home without any human companion for help and company. He believes he's going to Hoenn completely alone (besides Pikachu), while with the other Pokegirls, he was just heading back home.
Also, he's used to saying goodbye to friends by May. When Misty leaves other times, like with her cameos, he seems completely fine with it, just like with the other Pokegirls.
After both Misty and Brock left, Ash actually cries as he runs home to Pallet Town. Yet when May, Dawn, and Serena all left, he doesn't even shed a tear. He just kind of goes like, "Yeah, see ya."
While a lot of people think Misty was being mean by constantly yelling at Ash and even slapping him twice in the Japanese version, she really wasn't. In her own way, she was actually trying to help Ash by teaching him to use common sense in battles.
At that point, Ash was completely arrogant, careless, and reckless. After he lost to Richie, Misty tried cheering him up, but when he continued acting like a child over losing, she bluntly told him the cold, hard truth. With the way he was training, he was lucky he got as far as he did. She wasn't trying to put him down but making him face the harsh reality that his overconfidence was the reason he lost. She really cared about Ash enough to tell him the truth.
Unlike Serena, Misty knows when to leave Ash alone. That's proof enough that Misty would be a better match for him.
She is more interesting and funnier than Serena.
Pokémon would be quite boring without Misty. Her funny actions made us laugh and even her annoying behavior kept us interested in her.
Serena might be pretty and more like a gentle lady, but she is less interesting than Misty.
