Ash’s “We’re going to the gym first!” attitude

This attitude of Ash has shown itself mainly when a female character wishes to do something different than a gym battle when they reach a city with a gym. This is mainly present when May or Iris want to do something.

It was seen in the most recent U.S. episode where Ash wants to battle Burgh when Dento suggest going for that ice cream cone and Iris agrees and Ash seems to go off along with Pikachu’s attitude (just notice its facial expression when Ash is yelling).

The worst time was in On a Wingull and a Prayer when he snapped off at May because they missed the boat to the next gym on Dewford Island.

Its like Ash thinks his gym battle is the MOST important thing that will happen when the group enters into a town.

How would you deal with Ash if you were traveling with him and you wanted to do something different than him and he snapped at you?

If it were me; first off no 10-year-old is going to snap at me and second I’d go and do what I wanted to do because Ash seems to think that everyone has to be at the gym to see him battle. The only reason that I’d go watch Ash battle would be if I were challenging the same leader and wanted to study their technique before fighting them.

    Yeah, that is a trait that I find REALLY annoying. Apparently, he never got over it after all these years...

    When I was a kid, I was like, "Dude, chill! It's not gonna go anywhere!"

    This is why all his female companions end up leaving him once he loses at the Pokemon League. Misty only stuck around for two regions because she had enough brains to remember that Ash owed her a bike.

    Ash is the star of the show - he can be a diva if he wants. Besides, isn't there a time limit? The League has a fixed date, after all.

    I'd ignore him. Maybe even drag him along to my contests/battles stuff, to give him a taste of his own medicine.

    Time limit is such a strong word that doesn't have a solid meaning in the anime at least not to me; a 5 minute contest battles that can potentially last almost an entire episode, a league or Grand Festival that takes place annually but characters that don't seem to age a day and other things of that nature.

    See, I get what you're saying but if I were in Ash's group I would mention that if you didn't stop to help EVERY person that has a problem on your way to the next city then maybe you would have time for fun instead of focusing only on getting to the gym.

    Not to mention that Ash and the crew seem to spend more time getting lost or sidetracked than actually making it to where they need to be. I mean that they eventually make it to their desired destination but one must consider that sometimes it takes awhile for them to make it there. Usually after fighting off TR, helping out the COTD, etc.

    I'd punch him and leave. He'll never be a Pokemon Master anyway.

    why would I be traveling around with a 10 year old boy

    I'd probably end up succumbing to his whims because I'm a pushover and what he has to do will actually advance the plot...much more important than my petty little ice-cream cone, I guess :(

    Unless it was chocolate trinity. Then, bitch, forget you, we're getting some ICE CREAM >:(

    I don't know what it is about you Ms. Piggy but your attitude and wacky posts makes my threads/blogs all the more interesting xD

    Yeah, I mean Brock was like 15 but traveling with 10 year olds all the time (and Max was even younger) but its more of a "what-if" thing in this scenario.

    Anyway, lol I'm a bit of a pushover myself because I'm too nice and not one to really say "No" however, for a 10 year old who should have hit puberty by now but still has a girly voice, I wouldn't let anyone like that yell at the top of their lungs while having a hissy fit over going to a gym.

    I am just hyped up on food right now. Been starving all day XDDD

    I know, I know. In fact, I'd like to think that even Dento is older than Brock (and possibly my age ^_^).

    Well, puberty hits everyone at a different time and pace. I mean, for Paul, it was obviously very early and VERY HARD. Poor guy. I've met 14-16 year olds who still had falsetto voices, so yeah...Ash may be one of them XD LOL, it's like Ash's traveling partners are his parents all the time, regardless of age :P I'd probably just let him loose and then let him come crawling back to me later when he realizes that he can't find the gym without his handy dandy human navigators.

    Haha, true he needs to think though in ep 05 Iris asked him if he knew where the gym was and his response???? Well, he didn't know lol

    Puberty is in the eye of the beholder lol but yeah its sad that Ash's rivals seem to have "matured" more than him makes the rivalry seem like teens against "a little kid"

    You are kind of in love with Dento aren't you xD

    No offense meant to our 10 year old gentlemen here... but aren't ALL 10 year old boys like that? Or is it just me?

    Chances are I probably wouldn't even want to travel with someone who acts that way.

    But if I did, I'd let him wander off if that's what he wanted. I ain't no supporting character and dammit, my ice cream is important.
