DD-chan, what a lovely, lovely, lovely essay!! ♥♥♥
You've totally managed to say just about everything there is to say about them, in your lovely, lovely style! ♥ You've really done them justice!
I love how you've described their relationship and their feelings; I know we've probably said it a dozen times already, but yeah, Ash really is dense! Plus you've got Misty's jealousy and everything in there - spot on! Also, quotes and references are love, makes it all look very professional! :)
One little thing I'll nitpick because I can sometimes be a nitpicker... XD So why should Misty, a young Gym Leader who is perfectly able to travel on her own and become stronger, follow around a trainer who isn’t worth her time at all?
Okay, so this comment might have been true at first: Ash was hapless, scatterbrained, uncoordinated, hopeless, a complete newbie... but he was most definitely worth her time later. His determination, loyalty, courage and love are more than admirable; there's a lot Misty could and did learn from him. Plus I think Misty kind of needed him, or someone like him. She's hotheaded and opinionated and sometimes she can fly off the handle a little too quickly. Someone like Ash can cool her down and rationalise her, but is also has a strong enough character to take her on and shout back at her when necessary. I think that travelling alone wouldn't have let Misty develop and become a better trainer, not like travelling with Ash did.
Overall, this is just lovely! (I need to think of other adjectives... apologies!) Aw, I miss Ash/Misty so much now... grr, I hate it when your favourite ship leaves the show because nothing ever compares again! And if Misty did come back, I'm sure Ash would be old enough to be able to cop on and realise that he doesn't just want to be her friend with whom she can bicker with and fry her bike, but that what he actually wants to do is snog her.

Well, we can dream, right?
