It takes a lot to get Ash teary-eyed

But he's not afraid of expressing his emotions.

Ash and the gang are all tied up AND behind bars

What could they have possibly done to deserve such mistreatment?

There must be a good explanation for why they’re all together

Friends and foes united. Even though it was most likely unplanned.

Misty can be pretty abusive toward Brock

Even though he's inclined to interfere, Ash is staying out for his own good.

Team Rocket’s Pokemon team is pretty pathetic to say the least

Three Poison-types and a Pokemon that is "never first to attack" - they can't expect to ever defeat Ash and his Pikachu with a party like that.

When Misty’s not around, Ash serves as Brock’s official ear puller

It looks like Ash has absolutely no mercy for Brock's poor ear.

Jessie, James and Meowth bow before Ash and his Pikachu

Something tells me Team Rocket has an ulterior motive.

That feel when you’ve pretty much given up on everything

Togepi is the only one that appears to be happy.
