Does Misty have a crush on Ash (discussion)?

Iceshadow3317, Apr 18: I think at some point she did, but I think since, that crush has faded. Honestly with how much time she spent with Tracey when Ash returned home, I think that crush went toward him more than Ash. Also need to remember that it was the dub who pushed...

Why does Haunter kept disappearing in Episode 23 Indigo League

Sweet Serenity, Nov 9: The Haunter in that episode was simply a wild Haunter that Ash befriended rather than captured and loved to joke around. Obviously, a wild Pokémon that is your friend isn't the same as one that is captured and therefore won't listen to you.
