In the beginning, Pikachu "fried" Misty's bike, and she then held Ash responsible. Misty began to follow Ash to make sure he would pay off his debt to her. They bickered constantly, but, needless to say, their friendship grew stronger as the series progressed. They relied on each other not only for friendship, but for support as well. Many fans have taken quotes and actions by characters as evidence for PokéShipping in the anime; however, some of this evidence appears only in the dub version and can still be taken as friendship depending on the point of view of the viewers. In the original Japanese, the dialogue is read as a friendship between Ash and Misty with no romantic undertones. In a reverse fashion, many of the quotes in support of PokéShipping in the Japanese version were changed completely when translated into the English dub to come across more like friendship.

Most PokéShippers agree that Misty has a crush on Ash. This evidence became most prevalent during the Orange Season, long before it became occasional to have a girl have a crush on Ash.

*Misty tends to get irritated if Brock is cheering for a girl he likes instead of Ash. This is shown in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', where Ash is battling [[Jeanette Fisher]] and Brock is cheering for the latter.

* ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''
*''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''
:Once Misty catches up to Ash in the Pokémon Center in Viridian City, she is still extremely enraged towards him about what happened to her bike. Ash only changes her mood once he tells her that Pikachu is not doing well.
:When Team Rocket is trying to steal the Pokémon Center's Pokémon, Ash, Misty, and Nurse Joy attempt to stop them. After Ash fails to properly handle the situation, Misty decides to stall Team Rocket, so Ash can protect Pikachu from danger.
:At the very end of the episode, Misty gets Ash to handle Caterpie. She even hides behind him for protection after telling him that she hates bugs.
 
*''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''
:Ash, willing to continue his journey alone, is followed by Misty. Upon noticing her pursuing him in [[Viridian Forest]], Ash puts her on the spot and asks her, "Why are you still following me?" Misty sweat-drops and unconvincingly stutters back, "M...My [[bicycle|bike]]! I'm holding you responsible for my bike!" in an insincere manner.

:Why she is following him is made apparent near the end of the episode where she says, "I've never known anyone like him. He really does love Pokémon." She does so in body language befitting that of an infatuated girl. Also, in her statement, it is pretty much implied that she has some sort of interest in knowing Ash, who, at this point, is someone she barely knows. Furthermore, in this and the next episode, Misty seems very eager to make physical (if not courtly) contact with Ash.

* ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]
*''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''
:When Weedle scares Misty, she hides behind Ash for protection.
:After she starts to think about who Samurai might be seeking, she realizes that Ash is in potential danger.
:During the match, Misty suggests to Ash to recall Metapod, further adding that "Not even a bug deserves this!". This is the first time Misty shows compassion for something Ash cares about.
:When Samurai is searching for Ash, Misty runs toward him, shouting, "Ash!" sounding worried or scared.
:When Samurai is searching for Ash, Misty runs toward him, shouting, "Ash!" sounding worried or scared.
:After Ash is accidentally electrocuted by Pikachu's Thundershock attack on a Beedrill, Misty grabs him by the hand, and rushes him to safety.
:When Ash gets excited about discovering Metapod's whereabouts, Misty cover's Ash's mouth to silence him.
:When Metapod evolves into Butterfree, Misty comments on how beautiful it is, and is not freaking out about it, as she has been with Caterpie, and, to a lesser extent, Metapod.
:Before Ash and Samurai parted ways, Misty makes them promise not to match up Metapod vs Metapod again. This can mean that she wanted to see an exciting match between Ash and Samurai.
*''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''
:At the Pokémon Center, Misty explains to Ash that he needs to defeat Gym Leaders to obtain their respective badges, and to get into the Pokémon League. She then proceeds to ask him if he can do it.
:While eating at the Pokémon Center, Misty tells Ash if he's really nice, she'll help him with defeating Brock in a Gym Battle. Ash immediately refuses, and Misty storms out of the Pokémon Center.
:Later on, after Ash loses to Brock, while Ash is powering up Pikachu, Misty once again offers assistance to him, though, Ash once again refuses. Misty quips, "What do I care?", and "Stubborn. It'd be a lot easier if you would use some of mine, too."
:While Pidgeotto is fighting against Geodude, Misty whispers "Come on, Ash, use your head" as she watches.
:When Pikachu defeats Geodude, Misty is amazed, saying "Pikachu, nice going!"
:When the sprinklers are set off the fire in the Gym, Misty explains to Ash that Rock type Pokémon are weakened by water, which inspires Ash to keep the battle going.

:After {{oi|Ralph}}'s {{p|Nidoran♂|Tony}} and {{oi|Emily}}'s {{p|Nidoran♀|Maria}} kiss and evolve, {{Tracey}} comments about whether the battle or the kiss made them evolve. The idea of kissing embarrasses Misty and provokes Ash to ask the question, "Do people change when they get kissed?" after which Misty answers to him, "Guess we'll have to find out ourselves..." She could be seen blushing when she said this, as an obvious sign of either attraction to Ash or embarrassment. Earlier in the episode, Tracey compared the interaction between the Nidoran's Trainers to the relationship between Misty and Ash (although both vehemently deny it).

:Before the trio splits up and they go their respective ways, Misty asks Ash very sincerely, "Are you sure you'll be OK without me, Ash?"
:Misty got her own good-bye song (which completely left Brock out). One of the most significant lines in this song was "You're more than just my best friend." Ash was pretty clueless about how upset Misty was when they found out she had to leave, but when they actually parted, he did say that she’s his best friend, and cried when they left.

* ''[[SS011|A Date With Delcatty]]''
:In the original version, Misty initially rejects [[Georgio]] because there is "someone else." Taking into account of Misty's evident feelings in the series prior to this episode, it can be inferred that Misty is making a reference to Ash, although there is no implication that this is the case.

===Ash's hints===
Some PokéShippers will concede that Ash has not shown any proof of liking Misty beyond the already established platonic feelings. Naturally, PokéShippers believe Ash is capable of ''liking'' Misty. Furthermore, the theory also extends to the possible belief that Ash does love Misty, but is not mature enough to realize it. This idea is supported by the fact that Ash acts jealous when another guy shows interest in Misty or vice-versa, and the flirtatious tone of some of their teasing. This theory explains their bickering (to cover up how they really feel about each other), and it can be argued that Ash displays real feelings for Misty when she is vulnerable or scared.

* ''[[EP03|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''
:When Ash captures Caterpie, he celebrates, and has a dance with an unwilling Misty.
:When Koffing's [[Sludge_(move)|Sludge attack]] hits Pikachu, Ash hands Pikachu over to Misty, and asks her to protect it for him, no matter what happens. Ash doing this can be seen as a huge sign of trust in Misty, even though she has been insulting Caterpie for most of the episode, which annoyed Ash greatly.
:At the very end of the episode, Ash says to Misty, "Come on! We've got lots of Pokémon to catch!". This indicates that he has now grown to accept Misty as a traveling companion, the very idea which he opposed early on in the episode.

:When Ash discovers Misty is in the magic act, he says "Misty, what are you doing up there? Are you part of the show?", causing Misty to blush intensely. Ash proceeds to compliment her, saying "That's a real cute outfit Misty." However, it could be that Ash was just teasing Misty when he said this because he said it in a sarcastic voice.

:Climbing Navel Island's central mountain, Misty tells Danny 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 is 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 ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', another male getting Misty's attention seems to bother him.

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.

:[[Rudy]] moves in to court Misty after she helps rescue his younger sister, [[Mahri]]. Ash is clearly put out by Rudy's behavior, and becomes 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 {{AP|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 to 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.
