AAML, rispettivamente ASH AND MISTY LOVE...

È una delle coppie più gettonate degli anime: milioni di fan seguono assiduamente le loro avventure nella speranza ogni volta di vedere qualcosa di più, oltre la semplice amicizia... A rendere la coppia super gettonata è il semplice fatto che tra i due ragazzi non è praticamente mai accaduto nulla! Hanno 10 e 11 anni all'inizio della prima serie ed è un pò impensabile che alla loro età possa concretizzarsi qualcosa, è così allora che anche la più stupida presa per mano viene vista da molti dei fans come una qualche prova da archiviare, comprendere e commentare... ^^ Misty é un pò più grande, più matura (le donne sono sempre più mature) ed è innamorata di Ash, ne ha data più volte prova; Ash al contrario sembra non dare veri e propri segnali di un interesse che va al di là della semplice amicizia, tranne piccole e rare occasioni accidentali... Se c'è qualcosa non riesce assolutamente ancora a rendersi conto di provarla... ("pensa sempre ai Pokémon" aggiungerebbe Misty)
Ma la domanda è: accadrà? Vedremo qualcosa in futuro? Crescendo i due comprenderanno i loro sentimenti? Speriamo che la Nippon Animation ci regali qualcos'altro oltre alla semplice trasposizione del gioco per Game Boy ;)

A consolarci l'edizione americana ci rilascia alcune canzoni sui due protagonisti tradotte poi in quasi tutta Europa, tranne, guarda caso, in Italia! ^^ Ahahah, strano, eh?

Misty's song

Out here in the quiet of the night, benigh the stars and moon,
we both know we got something on our minds, we won't admit, but its true,
you look at me, I look away,
I want to tell you what i'm feeling but I don't know how to start
I want to tell you but know im afraid that you might break my heart
oh why can anything so easy ever be so hard to do
I want to tell you what im feeling and to say that, I love you
I practice all the things that i could say, line by line, word by word,
I tell myself today could be the day, but every time I loose my nerve,
I look at you, you look away,
I want to tell you what im feelin but I don't know how to start
I want to tell you but now im afraid that you might break my heart
oh why can anything so easy be so hard to do
I want to tell you what im feeling and to say that, I love you
Why, why do you turn away it must be your afraid like me, I try, but
I can't pretend that I feel for you the way I do can't you see,
I want to tell you what im feeling but I don't know how to start
I want to tell you but now im afraid that you might break my heart
oh why can anything so easy ever be so hard to do
I want to tell what im felling and to say, I love you
 

He drives me crazy

He Drives Me Crazy

He wanders off,
he's just lost, without me.
Doesn't matter what I have to say.
I try to give advice, I tell him twice,
He won't listen.
Gotta do it his own way.

Chorus
He drives me crazy,
All of the time.
He drives me crazy,
he drives me out of my mind.
So why I worry 'bout him?
Why do I care?
I don't know why I let it faze me,
but he drives me crazy...
He drives me crazy

Yeah yeah

He's here and there,
everywhere, just lookin'.
Always findin' something new.
I know he's kinda strange,
he'll never change, don't tell me,
what's a girl supposed to do?

Chorus

Just go off in you own direction,
and see if anybody cares.
Just don't come runnin' back to me,
Ash Ketchum, he'll be wishin' he had listened then,
'cause I told him time and time again.

Oh,

Chorus

He drives me crazy, all of the time, crazy
