Literally one of my favorite scenes in pokemon. Ash doesn't hear Lyra saying "look the best", but Dawn doesn't either, so they both look dense and I love it. Usually Ash is looked down upon from other characters for being kinda dumb, now is has someone with him

Lyra's reaction after is just great too. This is why I love these 2, they're both equally dorky and Ash has never interacted with someone equally dorky and dumb as him. Even pikachu is more aware than him lmao
