Top 10 Reasons Ash Should End with Misty Instead of Serena

The Top Ten
1 She and Ash Have Better Chemistry

Well all the reasons here except for she is a gym leader. I mean, how does her being a gym leader like contribute to this?

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.

2 She's Saved Ash Life

I kind of like movie! pokeshipping as Misty seems less temperamental in general & has a lot of cute moments in them. But yea Serena is so stupid & useless she put everyone in danger just to save her pretty face! Great job!

Misty saved Ash from almost drowing in Pokemon 2000, in the same situation Serena would be just as usless as Aquaman on land.

Yeah, she saved ash too many time to count.

3 She Was Ash's Longest Female Companion

That was only the case because kris/crystal didn't exist till crystal version (when they had a lot of Johto episodes made), & there wasn't a young enough gym leader female to travel with ash in Johto...

Misty stayed with Ash all the way from Kanto, The Orange Islands and Johto and returns several times she even shows up at Ash's house when he returned from Hoenn.

She shares a long journey with ash and never leave him alone throughout the journey and helped him to become a good trainer... And she even take good care of his pokemon... She only likes Ash's bug pokemons

4 She Was the First to Travel with Ash

She may have started the journey for her cycle but later she liked travelling with him... And she was the very 1st companion of ash... She was always worried about him

5 She Became Really Jealous When Other Girls Got Too Close to Ash

There's a difference between jealosy and possessiveness. Serena does become a little jealous, but Misty literally pushes out any girl that gets in Ash's way (ex. Macy). And you say that Serena is the yandere?

I don't hate Misty. She has a realistic personality, which is rather unique. It's just some things that I don't like about her.

At one point she got so jealous when Macy got to close to Ash and threw her arm right between them, while in XY Serena mostly just stands there in shock doing nothing.

Misty becomes so jealous of other girls ,she really don't like Ash to be with others .Of course she hates it .

6 She Always Calls Ash Out Whenever He Does Something Stupid

Which is something Serena rarely ever does.

7 She's the Strongest Out of All of Ash's Female Companions

Yes she is, that 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' u mean she can kick the other pikegirl's butts without her Pokemon... then I can see that more than she has stronger Pokemon (though I think Iris is pretty strong too she took on a Pokemon with her bare hands & constantly swings on vines, having to continuously have her arms hold her weight).

8 She Gave Up Staying with Rudy to Continue Traveling with Ash

This is a good item anyone who says other wise has no idea what their talking about.

This is true love.. She gave up staying with rudy because she knew who is perfect for her

9 She's a Gym Leader

Actually, this hurts Misty's chance with ash. She has to stay close by the gym for challengers. But ash is a guy who likes to meet new Pokemon, travel, take on new challenges, & can't stay in one place. So their relationship can't work out.

However, Serena faces the same problem. Her goal is to be KALOS queen. So she has to mainly focus in kalos, & if she becomes queen, she has to stay their to promote, keep popularity in kalos, & defend her title. So unless Misty quits being a gym leader or Serena gives up her goal (which would make what her mom said true so she shouldn't do that), then a relationship with ash won't work.

10 She Didn't Become a Trainer Just to Travel with Ash
The Contenders
11 Ash's Showed More Affection Towards Misty Than Serena

This is extremely false. Even in the English dub, if you pay close attention without shipping goggles, you'll see ash is a regular self absorbed kid who liked to think he's the best & knows everything & gets angry at regular things that makes 100% sense for him to be angry at, & actually has no interest in misty beyond friendship. & this is true for not just misty, but Serena & all girls.

Ash may pull her leg... But he had a deep feeling 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 even in further series... He always kepts her presents safe and he did not let anyone to touch them..

12 She Showed Up at Ash's House to Welcome Him Home When He Returned from Hoenn

Misty showed up in his home when he returned from hoenn region

13 Her and Ash's Relationship Wasn't Forced

Yeah! Misty met Ash and grew to love him. Serena literally fell in love with him after ONE SECOND! False, very very false.

the 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.

It was forced! By 4kids dub! It was totally forced.

14 Ash Only Shows Jealousy for Misty

When misty is close to some guys ash showed his jealousy and affection... And there is a phrase that who quarrel more but really care for each other are the best couple and they are in love

Not only jealousy, but the only girl he blushes for. Like that time when Jessie called them a couple and they both denied it by blushing.

15 She Becomes Really Considerate Whenever Something Bad Happens to Ash

Only when something really bad happens to him? Wow, so for ash to get any kindness from Misty, your saying he must do something that gets him saverly injured? At least Serena is mostly kind & considerate to ash & without the need for ash to get harmed for her to be that way for him (not an boreshipper by means, but...)

16 Celebi Showed Up When Misty Kissed Him

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.

17 Misty is the Only One of His Female Companions Who He Has Ever Talked About After She Left

So true. And 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. Now as for Serena, if he loved her after all the signs she showed and kissed him at the end, he would have thought or mentioned her at least once.

Its kind of funny that Ash despite traveling with May, Dawn and Iris has never really talked about them after they left and 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 missis her.

18 She More Badass

Dudes you should consider that Misty is real badass, but Serena does ride big pokemon at the end. Plus right know Ash is a little too immature to know who to love.

Naruhinablaze1 You also do lots of pathetic insults to Misty, though.

Everyone is more badass than Serena...

I love badass characters

19 She Cares More About Her Pokémon Than Serena

Serena love's her Pokémon, she loves them as much as she loves ash.
She cares them because she loves them.
She would rather forfeit a showcase than abandoning her sweet little eevee

Serena treats her Pokemon like those pets carried around in purses

Well even if I love Serena more than Misty, I think this is somehow true

20 Ash Was More Sad After She Left

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 & company & he believes he's going to hoenn completely alone (besides pikachu) while the other pokegirls he was just heading back home. And 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 like when the other pokegirls.

After both Misty and Brock had 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 kind just goes like "yeah see ya".

21 She is Prettier Than Serena
22 She Helped Ash to Become a Better Trainer

Yes Misty did and she always helping Ash battle team rocket. Helped him In many ways and I'm glad that she did.

Totally Agree.
I wonder how much Serena will despise Ash if Ash broke her bike or something.

Well if Misty didn't help Ash Serena wouldn't even love Ash.

23 Misty Isn't Clingy Like Serena

Unlike Serena, Misty knows when to leave Ash alone. That's proof enough that Misty would be a better match for him.

24 Misty Has More in Common with Ash
25 She's More Useful

She is more interesting and funnier than Serena w

Pokémon will be quite boring without Misty,
for her some funny actions made us laugh and even some annoying behavior made us interested about her.
Serena might be pretty and more like a gentle lady, but she is less interesting than Misty.
