Caught 'em at Last

Most everything I liked as a kid, I've kept a like for over the years, so I've never lost track of it or what it means to me. That is not the case with Pokemon, which I watched as a youngster but have barely thought about for over a decade. A random ad reminded me of it not too long ago, and I'm realizing just how big a part of my childhood it was. And the would-be affections Misty held for Ash, oddly enough, were my favorite part of the anime.

You can imagine this scene as happening at some indeterminate point "post-show," when Ash and Misty have made it into their teenage years, and Togetic has a vacation from his duties. Ash's outfit is a combination of all five that he's worn to-date (imagine the AG shoes on his feet below the drawing).
