PokéShipping: Difference between revisions

: When Ash sees that Pikachu, Misty, and Brock aren't in the cave, he yells Pikachu's name; then has a vision of Misty falling, and calls out her name too. Brock is never mentioned.

: When Ash regains consciousness, he sees Misty still unconscious and rushes over to her, shakes her and yells at her to get up. Then he notices Brock and tells him to get up, but he remains by Misty's side.

: When Misty shows up, holding a beach ball along with her bathing suit on, Ash stares at her with what some describe as a love-struck expression, and comments on how Misty looks like a girl for once. After Ash said that, she blushed an intense red. Later, when [[Moe]] yells at the group, Ash quickly hides behind Misty and holds her by the shoulders, showing he looks to her when he is scared or needs support.  

: Ash does a double take when Misty appears with her hair down and dressed in a formal kimono. Upon seeing her, the camera switches to his perspective, the bubbly background usually associated with passionate moments is used, romantic harp strings are played, and Misty's surprised facial expression clearly shows she is being looked at with interest. Also, the entire theme of the episode was romance-oriented, so it's only logical to assume this scene between Ash and Misty is as well. Interestingly enough, Misty was asking Ash to dance. When Ash accepts, Misty takes his hand and they are seen dancing together as the episode ends.

: When Ash sees Misty and Brock standing outside waiting for him, he decides to tease Misty, ignoring Brock. Once awake from being unconscious, Ash immediately greets Misty, not even mentioning Brock or Pikachu.

: When Misty goes missing, Ash expresses extreme concern.

: When Ash discovers Misty is in the magic act he says "Misty what are you doing up there? Are you part of the show?" Which causes Misty to blush intensely. Then Ash proceeds to compliment her, saying "That's a real nice outfit Misty."

: Ash, thinking Misty is entering the Princess Festival Contest to take a picture with the movie star host, gets jealous, groaning with his arms crossed, "You must really want that picture with [[Fiorello Cappucino|Fiorello]]...". Surprisingly, Misty reassures him she's only doing it for the doll set. Also, when Misty was dressed in a kimono during the contest, Ash stared at her and said, "Ohhh...", but so did Brock.

: When Ash wakes up after being thrown onto Pinkan Island, he immediately asks for Misty and Pikachu, leaving Tracey out completely.

: Climbing Navel Island's central mountain, Misty tells Danny the gym leader to be extra careful. Seeing how much concern Misty is giving to Danny, Ash with the same jealous expression yells, "What's she so worried about him for?!". He's distracted so much by Misty's little crush on Danny that he loses his concentration and falls down the mountain a bit. Much like his behavior in "Princess vs. Princess", another male getting Misty's attention seems to bother him. When Danny states, "What do they say, you always hurt the one you love?" Misty and Ash become extremely embarrassed. As Danny walks off, Misty runs up to him and says, "Oh, you've got it all wrong. I'd never get involved with a little kid like him. I prefer the more mature, intellectual type." Ash seems very disappointed after hearing that.  

: As the rain storm approaches and as Misty is unable to walk, Ash grabs Misty by the hand, arm and the rest of her body and leads her towards the cave. He then gently lowers her down, but keeps his arms wrapped around her. Afterwords, he stares at her with care in his eyes.

: When the creature pulls Misty into the sewer, Ash screams Misty's name, not even mentioning Togepi. After all the bubbles from where Misty was pulled in disappear, Ash screams again. After Tracey announces they should save her and Togepi, Ash's face gets angry, and says he will.

: [[Rudy]] moves in to court Misty after she helps rescue his younger sister, [[Mahri]]. Ash is clearly put out by Rudy's behavior, and jealous when Misty is flattered by the attention. When Rudy compliments Misty about her beautiful eyes during his attack test, Ash gets distracted and accidentally calls Charizard. Rudy invites Misty to dinner, and Ash is shocked when she accepts and appears unhappy when she leaves.  Later on, during the battle against Ash, Rudy looks at Misty and says "I dedicate this match the girl who saved my sister and stole my heart." Ash doesn't seem very happy and sarcastically replies, "That's real nice, but the victory is gonna be mine!" He gets a little antagonized with Misty when she tells him to beat Rudy, telling her he's not stupid, as if her recent behavior had upset and unsettled him.

: After Rudy presents Ash with his badge, he gives Misty some flowers, accepting her decision to stay with Ash. More importantly, he says, "I hope you know you're a very lucky guy, Ash." Ash cluelessly replies, "Lucky? What do you mean?" Rudy laughs and says, "You'll see some day." Ash just frowns in confusion. This incident supports the theory that Ash loves Misty, but he doesn't quite realize it yet. This is one of the stronger hints given that Misty and Ash may someday end up together.

: When Ash was really feverish, he asks in a weak voice for Misty and not for Pikachu or Tracey (or even [[Delia Ketchum|his mom]]).

: Ash expresses his horror when Misty is scared by illusions of Bug Pokémon, and gets angry with {{p|Hoothoot}} for running away, because it is the only one who can 'save Misty.'

: When Misty is trying to save {{p|Oddish}} from flying into the tornado, Ash screams her name and pulls her down by the waist, similar to how Brock did for {{jo|Mariah}} when she tried to save the {{p|Hoppip}}, whom he was currently crushing on.

: Prior to Misty's battle, Ash wakes up to find Misty staring out the window. They have a little talk and after that, Ash continues to gaze at Misty silently.  

: Brock comments about how Misty's battling style reminds him so much of Ash. Furthermore, Ash and Misty share similar victory poses when they win their round.  

: Upon showing Ash the invitation to the Togepi Festival, Ash gets excited and walks off happily. But Misty quickly pulls him back by the hood. Later on, when Misty gets abducted by Team Rocket, Ash is the first one to run after her.

: When Max informs everyone that the nearest [[Battle Frontier]] facility is near Cerulean City, Ash is pleased that Misty is able to travel with him and the group for a while.  

: May tries to befriend a Cleffa, but the Pokémon backs away from her in fright. Misty figures that it will talk to {{p|Azurill}}, and then Azurill jumps off her arms and starts playing with the Cleffa. Ash tells Misty how great her idea was.  

: When the Ash and the gang looks for Misty, Max, and Pikachu, Ash is the one carrying Misty's Spheal bag.  

: When Ash and the others are fishing, Ash uses the special lure Misty made for him. Dawn asks if she could use it, but Ash refuses, causing them both to argue. While they are distracted, a {{AP|Buizel}} comes and takes their lures, causing Ash to panic. He is determined to get the lure back, and once it is returned, he seems very happy and relieved.
