yeah. Me, death seer, and hopeful sleeper really supported the couple for real. If Pearl was in any other anime like yu yu hakusho, it would have become canon right now....
Man I have to tell you: Dawn leaving was like being stabbed and Ive never felt this way about any girl. She really loved being supportive of Ash and was fully committed to him. Unlike Misty or May, she actually felt like his equal and worried aout his dreams. IT was so adorable when she told Maylene "I sometimes feel that Im holding Ash back from his dreams".
