Anon has this headcanon where Ethan has a massive phobia of Beedrills (that started sometime when he was very young, or something.). And is just a little bit uncomfortable around bug pokemon, in general. Hence why our champion never has any bug types in his team or PC. If he got any from wild/trades, he'd always quickly release them later. So what I'm getting at is... Option 1: Any Bug type trainer (preferably Bugsy or Burgh. Aaron's fine, too.) topping Ethan hard by using his phobia against him in order to make him cooperate. Be as smutty as you want, anon~. usage of honey is also fine by me. Option 2: So Ethan's in a relationship with said Bug-type trainer. Something fluffy where he's dealing with the phobia better little by little with their lover's help?
