YEAAAH! CHOW TIME WITH FELMINA! Grilled meat! Grilled meat! Grilled meat!
I don't care what anyone says. Ash is lovably, unrelentingly optimistic in a way that's not annoying and that attitude is infectious. So far, everyone he interacts with ends up liking him and it's all in all just wholesome fun.
Again, Felmina could totally have been the snobby elite type of opponent, but she's just sorta "that nice meat lover" so far. No idea where their relationship will go, but as long as the buddy routine stays, I'm happy.
