It just feels so forced, "for some reason" was used multiple times. It feels like you are going for a love at first sight situation, but ended up making it awkward and rushed. It makes me uncomfortable, because you are not doing so well on the delivery. Plus he is supposed to be mature, but he sees her for the first time and suddenly he acts his physical age. I understand love can make you do stupid things, but once again this is their first meeting, and you are forcing a "love at first sight situation". Not only that but you did this after he had already stated that he doesn't love her, and he would let ash save her, plus he wouldn't force himself onto girls. Finally you 100% forced this encounter with that Vulpix.
