@cricketlaxwolvesbandy - I'm going to respond to your post about Ash's feeling here rather than in the PM2019 Speculation Thread because I don't want to go off-topic, start a flame war, or get the thread locked.
I think Ash felt something for Serena by the end of the 1st Season. I don't think it was romantic, or that he understood it, but there are a ton of clues in the show.
I also think that Ash's density is slightly overblown. Most of the time, he seems to be aware of how Serena is feeling...but yeah, I hear you on Party Dancecapades. That episode is a huge OOC moment for everyone except Serena and Miette. Of all of the episodes in XYZ, that one is the only one I really want to rewrite.
And that reminds me...I need to make time to work on Chapter 2 of that story.
