A bond that has stood the test of time Unlike other characters who joined Ash's group and then went their separate ways, the bond with Misty has remained strong. Returns and promises: Many of Ash's travel companions said their final goodbyes. Not Misty. Their farewell was filled with promises to meet again, and in fact, she has returned on several occasions, proving that their bond has resisted distance and time. This makes her the most likely companion for a romantic ending. | Misty Pokémon
