A funny way to interpret Ash’s non drastic reaction to being kissed was him just assuming that was just some weird Kalosian way of showing gratitude or platonic affection.

So like the next time he visits Misty, after spending the day hanging out at the gym, maybe getting some dinner, the last thing he does before he leaves is just fuckign plant one right on the lips and Misty’s face a mixture of shock, horror and confusion.

“Ash w-what was THAT?” she asks with her face completely red, and Ash just tilts his head and just goes “what? That’s how they say thank you in Kalos”.
