Ok, imagine this te are misty coming back several years later to meet a childhood friend and when te arrive te realize he's no different. I my self have heard many retarded things like he's a vampire o a real hysterical one a spirit.No he's neither see Pokemon just wanted to keep ash forever as a icona but wouldn't te think its weird if a friend te left as an adolescent never aged a bit? POOR MISTY is all i gotta say. But theirs a lot of weird things in Pokemon like the 38+ Officer Jennys and nurse joys
