'''OrangeShipping''' (Japanese; '''ケンカス''' KenKasu) is the belief in a romantic relationship between [[Misty]] and {{Tracey}}.


'''OrangeShipping''' (Japanese; '''ケンカス''' KenKasu) is the belief in a romantic relationship between Misty and Tracey.
Misty and Tracey first met in ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]''. Tracey is a vocal fan of [[Professor Oak]], and after realizing that {{Ash}} knows him quite well, decides to join the group in the hopes of meeting his idol. At first, Misty didn't like the thought of a complete stranger simply inviting himself to their group, but soon they develop a great friendship while traveling the Orange Islands.

There are many who will contend that the Orange Islands (the only series at present in which Tracey was part of the main cast) was more suggestive to a romantic relationship between Ash and Misty, and will state that Tracey even hinted at the relationship itself. Other people believe differently. When Ash finishes the Orange League, the group returns to his house. Here, they reunite with [[Brock]], and Tracey stays with Professor Oak as Ash, Misty and Brock travel the Johto League.

*In ''[[H011|A Date With Delcatty]]'', after Misty receives a letter from [[Georgio]], she states she would like Tracey to come with her so she would feel more safe. However, {{an|Daisy}} stated that Misty couldn't go anywhere because she needed to do her chores. Misty then asks Tracey nicely if he could do her chores for her and that {{an|Casey}} would accompany her. Later on the episode, in the Japanese version, Misty turns down Georgio's request to be his girlfriend saying, "There's someone else..."  However, other Shippers argue that it is a reference to [[Shipping:PokéShipping|Ash]], [[Shipping:GymShipping|Brock]] or another character.

*There's a similar case with Casey in ''[[H011|A Date With Delcatty]]''. Interestingly enough, there are people who will contend that Misty is, in fact, blushing a little in the this case. There is also the scene in which Misty is asked by [[Georgio]] whether or not she 'likes someone else' - This has been a matter of great debate between Shippers. There are many who will contend that the line is a reference to Misty's 'feelings' for Ash, while others believe otherwise, stating that it is far too ambiguous, and given the previous blush, may refer to Tracey, or simply embarrassment over being asked such a personal question.
