Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
Provided reasoning under cut:
so this is a little bit of a weird one, and i understand if it's decided that it doesn't count, BUT, i feel like these two definitely meet the criteria! a deep, constant bond, one that goes deeper than they can even explain, than those around them can understand? check! they have the closest bond out of any pair of characters in the show, pokemon, human, or otherwise, and it's developed organically on screen, with us seeing it start in a turbulent, conflict-ridden beginning, even! some form of finding each other in different worlds, different lives? yep! canonically, there are at least two main "universes," or timelines, with the pokemon anime! the main one, which most of the series takes place in, and what is typically called M20-verse, which three movies take place in! and they aren't just alternate timelines of the exact same events; ash doesn't meet any of the same characters nor pokemon in the M20 universe as he does in the main series, with the exception of maybe his charmander that's in a montage at the start of M20 but never actually appears properly? and pikachu. always pikachu. sticking with each other through death and revival? both of them have died multiple times. often in each other's arms. this one is the one that's a bit harder to qualify, since they always get revived basically immediately, but they do legitimately die, fully and completely. and obviously this isn't even REMOTELY romantic, even though that's not a requirement, but it's worth mentioning. they're just best friends and family and partners. and i love them and their bond. thank you for your time even if they do not get in since it's a Little bit of a stretch i will admit :D
They're literally so iconic and cool and their bond is amazing
they’ve resurrected each other multiple times
They literally have revived each other from being full on dead through the sheer power of their friendship. Multiple times. Also, an absolutely icon duo. Destined to be besties.
My cat is literally everything to me and I never shut up about her. Anybody who knows me knows my cat too. I had a dream last night that I obtained the power of prophecy and the first thing I did with it was predict where my cat’s soul would be reincarnated. Then I went on a journey to find her again. She is the most important thing in my life and I would die for her without even blinking. Wherever I go after this life, even if it is simply into the ground, I know I will find her again.
I want them and their cat to win I love cats<3
