Well, the creators do like PokeShipping. Seriously, they have more hints since she left than when she was in the show. She was the queen of hearts in Spurt!, she gave Ash the Mini-Misty Lure (which he hated, but has since become his most prized possesion), she refused to date Georgio because there was "someoneelse" aka Ash, She lived with Delia for three weeks until Ash came home from Hoenn and wanted to travel over Kanto w/ him during the BF arc... and the list goes on. Remember the writers killed her off for more "eye candy"... of course Misty could have dressed like she did in Gen. II: With long hair and girl's clothes. To be honest, I wonder sometimes if ash is a eunuch because he's gotten less romantic over the years, or he went gay... remeber Giselle and how he looked at Misty on Maiden's Peak, since then the next shipping thing was him and Morrison. -vomits-
Cubone are rare remember. Plus they only kill da mommy Cubone. Papa's alive and sleeping with other cubone females, which die afterward... I love Cubone.
When is Lucas gonna show up and take Dawn away? I hate her. She dresses like a hooker.
Just tell you're friend it "wasn't meant to be" and console her, take her out parting and stuff and shell move on eventually. Alternatively send her to stalkers anonymous
