'''FireShipping''' is the belief of a romantic relationship between {{Ash}} and [[Macey]]. The term comes from Macey's adoration of {{type|Fire}}s, along with the common association with fire as a representation of passion, which both him and her embrace wholeheartedly. This Ship is considered one-sided on Macey's side. | |||
This Ship was used as a minor subplot in the [[Silver Conference]] arc in the {{pkmn|anime}}. One of Ash's early ventures involving girls who develop a crush on him that the audience is directly privy to, Macey is one of the characters that sets up the stage for future unrequited Ships involving Ash, as the girls involved are technically one-off characters. This Ship is not cited often as the other one-sided Ships are, nor does it appear grossly popular, as it debuted within the series itself (as opposed to the {{pkmn|movie}}s) while Misty was still apart of {{ashfr|the group}}, and likely conflicted directly with the still-ragingly popular {{s|PokéShipping}}, whereas fans earlier could pretend the movies never happened within the anime's timeline. | |||

Once Macey makes plain her intentions, however, they get off to the immediate mindset of competitive rivalry, prompting to start battling before they are even scheduled to. But before they can begin, [[Team Rocket]] intervenes, capturing [[Ash's Pikachu]] and Macey's {{p|Vulpix}}.[[File:Fireshipping2.jpg|thumb|The beginning of Macey's infatuation]] | ||
: Putting their battle on hold, Ash, Macey, and | : Putting their battle on hold, Ash, Macey, and Ash's friends race after the cycling Team Rocket in an attempt to get their Pokémon back. There is no way to catch up with them, so Ash uses an unorthodox shortcut: sliding down the sides of the steep hill bracing the snaking road Team Rocket is using. Macey hesitates in following him, but ultimately does so. This proves disastrous, as Macey immediately slips and starts tumbling down the hill. Ash manages to catch her, and the two stop their tumbling descent in a typical fashion. Ash softens her impact by being the one to land against the jutting rock and Macey is stunned by Ash's heroics. After he runs off, telling her to stay behind and leave the issue to him, Macey is seen with with an expression of pure captivation and admiration. | ||
: Once Pikachu and Vulpix are properly rescued, Macey begins describing Ash in characteristics indicating hero worship, while her expression is not unlike the one he left her with the scene before. She begins waxing poetics, acting the appreciative princess role to Ash's knight, asking him how he can repay her and if they can go to lunch together. | : Once Pikachu and Vulpix are properly rescued, Macey begins describing Ash in characteristics indicating hero worship, while her expression is not unlike the one he left her with the scene before.

: [[Misty]] recognizes where Macey is going with this, and cuts in, her jealousy acting up. Macey, in response, starts slamming {{type|Water}}s, finishing up by asking if Misty was Ash's girlfriend. Misty, not at all willing to reveal any {{s|PokéShipping|feelings}} for Ash, claims to be his coach, and Macey sees her opening, telling her to keep out of his "personal life." She continues, telling Misty that Macey and Ash needed to talk about their future together. The chance never comes up, however, because Ash has already begun to run off, claiming he has to get ready for his upcoming battle. Whether or not he knows what he's running from—"getting ready" just an excuse to escape or his honest desire to start training immediately—is unknown. But Macey isn't distressed at his departure, waving goodbye to him and shouting to him that if she wins their match, he has to treat her to a date. | : [[Misty]] recognizes where Macey is going with this, and cuts in, her jealousy acting up.
