@monorail @dhalucario In one of the final Pokémon Journeys episodes (I watched it yesterday), Ash's Lucario
is having a difficult battle against Cynthia's Pokémon, and Cinderace
(whose trainer is Goh, Ash's companion in this series) gets out of its Pokéball to cheer on Lucario... I thought that was really cute.
There's also a much earlier episode where they're lost in the city together and have to fight Team Rocket, and they learn to get along... But after that, I think the anime keeps implying that they like each other...
I don't remember which episode this GIF is from, but just look at them :
