==Synopsis==

Everyone is going to [[Pacifidlog Town]] so {{an|May}} can participate in a {{pkmn|Contest}}. Two islands come into sight, and the engine breaks. They land on the left island while the captain fixes the engine. He tells {{Ash}} it might take a few hours to fix, and tells them that if they want to be on time for the Contest, they could take a ferry on the other side of the island.

Soon, they come across a group of {{p|Donphan}} using {{m|Rollout}}, and almost get run over. {{an|Brock}} explains that it is mating season and they are trying to impress the females. The same Donphan rolls towards them again, so they run away and leave the area. When they find a deserted area, they stop to rest.

Suddenly, a female Donphan shows up and a bunch of males come over to impress it. Ash and {{ashfr}} run away again. They call out {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} and {{AP|Corphish}} to protect them, since Water types are super effective on Ground types.

While this is going on, {{TRT}} watches the Donphan from the top of a hill. As usual, Meowth suggests catching one and giving it to their boss. They start setting up some nets as a female rolls by. They try to figure out where it was going, but get squashed by more males chasing it. Jessie tells James to have {{TP|James|Chimecho}} heal them, but he startles them instead by making it use {{m|Astonish}}.

They notice some Donphan with mates up ahead. Everyone comments on them, but another Donphan starts chasing them. The Pokémon attack it, and knock it into a rock. Brock bandages its nose, but suddenly a Shiny Donphan comes over and the injured Donphan chases after it.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is trying to catch a Donphan, but they just get squashed.

Ash sees the injured Donphan again as it tries to impress the female, but it just gets knocked out of the way by some other Donphan. As they watch, {{AP|Snorunt}} comes out of its [[Poké Ball]] and uses {{m|Ice Beam}}. Excited, Ash tells it to use the move again, and it freezes the ground under the Donphan, making them slip. The Shiny female expresses its disapproval and walks away. [[Max]] says they shouldn't have brought out Snorunt, so Ash tries to recall it. However, it just runs away so they chase after it.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has made a pitfall trap, and they're all congratulating each other. Unnoticed, Snorunt walks up and freezes them. Before the ice can melt, more Donphan roll by and crash into them, blasting them off again.

Suddenly, a number of Donphan roll at Ash. Brock and Max run one way, while Ash and May go the other. Ash and May get to the ferry, but May tells Ash that she won't get on, because even though she'll miss the Contest, she won't leave her brother. She remembers leaving her house and promising her mom to take care of Max, and Ash agrees. They head off.

Brock and Max see the injured Donphan, and ask it if it had any luck. It tells them that it didn't.

Meanwhile, May and Ash see the Shiny female. May gives it some Pokémon food and tells it about the injured Donphan. Brock and Max find Ash and May. The injured Donphan also finds the Shiny Donphan and starts using Rollout, but is knocked away by another male. All the other Donphan start rolling around the female, but the injured Donphan gets annoyed and knocks them all away. It starts to roll off with the female, but they both get caught in a net as Team Rocket appears. Ash wants to battle them, but May interrupts and scolds them, complaining that she would be in Pacifidlog if it wasn't for them. Team Rocket gets worried.

May sends out her Pokémon. {{TP|May|Beautifly}} pulls the Donphan away with {{m|String Shot}}, {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} cuts the net with {{m|Razor Leaf}}, {{TP|May|Skitty}} uses {{m|DoubleSlap}} on them, and {{TP|May|Combusken}} uses {{m|Flamethrower}}. Finally, the two Donphan use Rollout and blast them off again. Everyone thanks them and congratulates the injured Donphan on getting the Shiny female. Both Pokémon smile.

In the evening, they reach the harbor. As they look at Pacifidlog on the horizon, Ash says that they could have done it if Max hadn't gotten lost. Max says sorry but May tells him it was the Donphan messing everything up, not him.

Suddenly, they hear the captain calling out that he fixed the engine, so they get on board the boat. While they head toward Pacifidlog, the captain says that they are lucky because if he hadn't gotten there then, he would have thought that they got on the ferry. Max tells May that now she can be in the Contest.

'''A Fan with a Plan''' (Japanese: '''強敵！？ママさんコーディネーター登場！''' ''Formidable Enemy!? Mother Coordinator Enters!'') is the 77th episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 351st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on May 20, 2004 and in the United States on May 7, 2005.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==

The episode starts with the gang entering [[Rubello Town]], on their way to {{Ash}}'s next Gym battle, when [[Max]] spots a poster for a [[Pokémon Contest]] which is set to begin the next day. {{an|May}} is delighted and quickly decides to enter. {{an|Brock}}, however, notices a mysterious symbol on the Contest poster, "R1," the meaning of which is not known to the group. Fortunately, [[Nurse Joy]] explains that any entrant to this Contest must have at least one Ribbon.

In the [[Pokémon Center]], May runs into [[Drew]], who is also entering the Pokémon Contest. After insulting May, she gets angered with him, but before anything can happen, Drew is engulfed by a swarm of rabid female fans. Drew isn't exactly happy to see these fans, as they lean towards the obsessive side, but May becomes jealous nonetheless. The jealousy is forgotten when one of the women recognizes May and the group crowds around her instead. However, the fans seem more interested in [[Norman]] than either May or Max. During the discussion, [[Savannah]], the head of the group, explains that they saw May in the [[Verdanturf Town|Verdanturf]] Contest. Savannah also reveals that she will be entering the Rubello Contest as well. The group also introduces themselves with a cheer as the [[Mothers for Pokémon]], also known as MFP. They are a group of wives and mothers who love Pokémon. They decide to throw a party for May and Max. One of them tells Ash that he isn't on the list of "promising and handsome young [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainers]]."

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} enters the town very fatigued, but [[Jessie]], upon seeing the Contest poster, decides to enter. [[James]] and {{MTR}} groan. When she discovers that she needs a Ribbon to enter, and having none, she decides to steal one and enter the Contest.

Back at the reception, Savannah and the MFP compliment May and her father, Norman. Ash mutters angrily to himself, saying he does all the hard work, training and Gym battles, and is jealous of May. Nonetheless, Ash vehemently denies his jealousy when Max asks about his complaining. At the other table, Savannah and May realize that neither of them have picked Pokémon for the Contest. Savannah shows May her {{p|Lairon}} and {{p|Flareon}}. While showing May her Pokémon, Savannah reveals that this R1 competition requires the use of two Pokémon; one for the appeals round and one for the Battle Round. While Savannah only has to decide the order, May faces a more difficult decision; picking two candidates from her four Pokémon lineup. While Brock and Savannah go grocery shopping and meet Savannah's daughter [[Sandra]], May, Ash, and Max talk the Pokémon choice over. Savannah and Sandra invite the company to dinner in the end.

May trains late into the night, testing all four of her Pokémon to see which is the best choice for the upcoming Contest. {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} stumbles and trips in its attempted combination, but May remains confident and happily remembers the compliments she got from the MFP earlier that day. Her reminiscence is interrupted by Drew's voice, calling out orders to his new {{p|Masquerain}}. Drew notices May watching him and brags that "winning this Contest will be a cinch." Drew also notices May's Pokémon, and inquires about her new Bulbasaur, a rare find in the [[Hoenn]] region. Drew insults May's Bulbasaur as undisciplined. His comments provoke May, who decides to use Bulbasaur in the Contest, a decision which startles the rest of the group.

Meanwhile, Savannah nears the breaking point from stage fright, but completely forgets her fear at the sight of Bulbasaur, which she says was her first Pokémon long ago. May and Savannah decide to start a practice battle to train, with Bulbasaur having the disadvantage against Savannah's Flareon. However, the battle is cut short by Team Rocket's interruption.

James and Meowth are less than enthusiastic about the Ribbon theft operation, but Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} to combat the Pokémon Savannah and May already have out. However, Ash, Brock, and Max quickly arrive on the scene. Flareon's {{m|Flamethrower}} is deflected by {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, but [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Brock's Lombre]] and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} are quickly called out to join the battle. Wobbuffet deflects Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} and a pair of {{m|Water Gun}} attacks. Jessie orders her Dustox to attack Sandra, but that's the breaking point for Savannah. She becomes angry that Jessie would dare attack her daughter and orders Flareon to launch another attack. Wobbuffet steps forward, but the attack was aimed at the balloon, not Wobbuffet. Team Rocket goes down in flames. Jessie declares that she would rather give up James and Meowth than the Ribbons. This angers James and Meowth, who convince Jessie to surrender the Ribbons to the group. Sandra and Savannah launch a {{m|Water Pulse}} which sends Team Rocket blasting off.

The coordinators anxiously await the start of the Rubello Town Contest.

==Trivia==
* In this episode, Team Rocket uses a {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|A Fan with a Plan motto|variation}} of their motto.
* The dub title is a pun of the phrase "a man with a plan".
* The Contest poster in the beginning of the episode showed a Bulbasaur among other Pokémon. May chooses to use {{TP|May|her Bulbasaur|Venusaur}} this episode.

===Errors ===
[[File:PokémonTrainersChoice Seviper.png|thumb|200px|right|{{pkmn|Trainer's Choice}}]]
* This most infamous {{pkmn|Trainer's Choice}} incorrectly claims that {{p|Arbok}} evolves into {{p|Seviper}}. {{p|Seviper}} and the other two choices, {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Suicune}} don't evolve at all, and {{p|Arbok}} is the only Pokémon in an evolution chain.
* In both the original and the dub, May mentioned that she used Skitty in the {{to|Fallarbor}} Contest, but she actually used Beautifly in the [[AG051|contest in question]].
* When Team Rocket does their motto, Jessie states that the Contest is tonight, but at the end of the episode, May says the Contest is tomorrow.
* Also in Team Rocket's Motto, James states that Jessie's winning streak would go from zero to two, but with May's two Ribbons and Savannah's Ribbon, her "winning streak" would be three.
** However, he probably said it so it would rhyme.
* Wobbuffet appears to have used {{m|Counter}} in response to Flamethrower, a [[Special move]]. The correct move to produce a favorable result would have been {{m|Mirror Coat}}.
**However, this is not the first time this has happened, with [[Jessie]] usually telling {{p|Wobbuffet}} to use {{m|Counter}} against any attack launched at it. The only exception is in ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]''.
* Savannah calls Brock "a ''men'' who really understands."

===Dub edits===

====Pokémon Trainer's Choice====
* Question: Trainers, Which one of these Pokémon evolves into {{p|Seviper}}?
* Choices: {{p|Sableye}}, {{p|Arbok}}, {{p|Suicune}}
* Answer: OK, Trainers! If you chose {{p|Arbok}}, you were {{tt|right|As mentioned above, no answer is correct.}}!

'''Team Go-Getters''' (Japanese: '''チームガンバルズ''' ''Team Ganbarus'') is the main team in the anime special ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. The team is made up of a {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and a boy who turned into a {{p|Squirtle}}.
{{left clear}}

== History ==
Squirtle, a human that became a Pokémon, decided to join Team Go-Getters along with Charmander and Chikorita. At first, he had trouble using his {{m|Water Gun}} attack, which made him sad. The team got their first real mission to save a {{P|Pichu}} and his big brother, {{P|Pikachu}} from a very territorial {{p|Skarmory}}. After going through many trials, such as a cave full of {{m|PoisonPowder}} using {{p|Shroomish}} and [[Team Meanies]], the team saved the brothers and defeated Skarmory, with Squirtle finally mastering Water Gun.

It was first broadcast in Japan on May 8, 2003 and in the United States on February 28, 2004.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode starts with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} camped out near a lake. Ash was cleaning his [[Poké Ball]]s in preparation for his rematch with [[Brawly]]. {{an|May}} comments that Ash was really working hard. [[Max]] then commented that she should follow Ash's example. After Ash finished speaking to his Pokémon, {{AP|Corphish}} wandered away after it spotted a piece of seaweed. It began to eat the long piece of seaweed which was tangled up with some buoys attached to a rope. It ate the buoys as well. Ash told it to stop saying that it was going to get sick. Corphish pulled on the rope causing it to snap. Its claw went flying backwards and smacked Ash. Later, Ash introduced Corphish to all of the Pokémon. Corphish greeted them back by smacking them. May grabbed her Pokémon and began yelling at it, saying that it would never make friends that way. {{an|Brock}} disagreed, saying that it might be how Corphish say hello.

Later during breakfast, May notices that her {{TP|May|Wurmple|Beautifly}} was not eating and asked if it was sick. {{TP|May|Torchic}} offered its own food to it but it still refused. Corphish then appeared out of nowhere and began eating both Wurmple and Torchic's food. All of a sudden, a robotic hand comes from above and grabs {{AP|Pikachu}}. {{TRT}} then start their {{motto}} wearing Corphish claws. They put Pikachu inside an electric-proof cage, rendering its {{t|electric}} attacks useless. May then told her Wurmple to use {{m|String Shot}} on Team Rocket's balloon. All four {{pkmn|Trainer}}s grabbed on to the string of silk trying to hold Team Rocket back. Ash then made the mistake of telling Corphish to help. When it grabbed the string, it snapped it causing Team Rockets balloon to go flying out of control and crash. May started to yell at Corphish but Max said that it was Ash's fault for telling it to help. They then pursued Team Rocket.

It didn't take them long to find them. Ash commanded Corphish to attack with {{m|BubbleBeam}} which caused Pikachu's cage to go flying. [[James]] attempted to stop them with {{TP|James|Cacnea}} but it turned around and hugged him. [[Jessie]] then called out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} who caught Pikachu's cage with its tail. May then told Wurmple to use String Shot to grab Pikachu's cage. It worked and Pikachu was back in Ash's arms. May thanked Wurmple saying that it was the best. Jessie felt the need to show off her {{TP|Jessie|Wurmple|Dustox}} as she thought hers was better. Brock then said that all Wurmple looked the same to him. May and Jessie began to argue with each other over whose Wurmple was cuter. Then Jessie's Wurmple started to glow. A few seconds later, May's Wurmple also started to glow. Both Wurmple then evolve into {{p|Silcoon}}, or so Jessie thought. When Jessie picked it up, James and {{MTR}} noticed it looked {{p|Cascoon|different}} from May's Silcoon. But they ignored it. They attacked Ash again but he countered with Corphish's {{m|Crabhammer}} which sent Cacnea flying backwards. Ash then told Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} which sent Team Rocket {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|blasting off}}.

As they began to celebrate their victory, Corphish's skin turned bright red and it falls over. Brock checked its temperature and discovered it had a fever. Ash reached for its Poké Ball but then realized he left them back at camp. Convinced there was no time to go back, Ash decided to carry Corphish to the [[Pokémon Center]]. He took Pikachu with him while leaving {{AP|Treecko}} and {{AP|Taillow}} behind. As Ash began his hike up the mountain, he noticed Corphish becoming hotter. He stopped to think how he could bring its fever down and spotted water trickling down the mountain side. He scooped some of it up with two big leaves and gave it to Corphish which helped a little. Ash then heard the sound of his stomach grumbling realizing he never got to eat breakfast because of Team Rocket. Pikachu then spotted a [[Pecha Berry]] tree. Ash picked some Berries off it. As he was about to eat one, he realizes he stepped on a {{p|Shroomish}}. He apologized to it but the Shroomish did not accept it. It attacked with {{m|Stun Spore}} and Ash ran away with his Pokémon as fast as he could.

Later, Ash began to see [[Dewford Town]] in the distance. All he had to do was cross a river. As he began to cross a school of {{p|Carvanha}} began to attack and scared him out of the water. As he began to think how he could cross the river, he spotted a rowboat near the shore. The Carvanha started to attack again and Ash told Pikachu to hold them off with Thunderbolt. It worked for a little bit but they came back and ate the boat. Ash ran back to shore and had to think of another way to get across the river and quick. Corphish's fever was steadily increasing. A little bit down stream, Ash spotted a bridge. Thinking their worries over, Ash was disappointed to see that the bridge had been destroyed. He decided to just cross the river by wading through it. Ash put Pikachu and Corphish on a wooden plant and carried them over his head. The Carvanha soon spotted him and began attacking. Ash started to move quicker as the shore was just feet away. He told Pikachu to jump to shore and to attack Carvanha with Thunderbolt. Pikachu does its best to keep them at bay but a couple of them managed to attack Ash. Corphish started to worry about Ash. Ash promised Corphish that he wouldn't let anything happen to it. One Carvanha attacks Pikachu making it unable to stop any further attacks. As a group of Carvanha were about to pounce on Ash, Corphish fired a BubbleBeam attack at them. It stopped them long enough for Ash to get to shore. Relived, Ash takes a small break and thanks his Pokémon before going to the Pokémon Center. Around sunset, [[Nurse Joy]] told Ash that Corphish would be just find in the morning. It seemed that the buoys that Corphish ate earlier is what made it sick. Nurse Joy asked why Corphish ate it and Ash couldn't come up with an answer.

Later on Brock, May, and Max are seen around a campfire. All of a sudden they started to hear what Brock believed to be an {{p|Aron}}. Max found this strange as Aron usually stayed in [[cave]]s and never came out on the beach. They soon came across a tape recorder with Aron's voice on it. Before they could wonder why it was there, they were all trapped by cages. Everyone except Taillow that is. They soon found out that it was Team Rocket who set the trap. They then discovered that Pikachu wasn't with them. James realized that only two of the traps were activated and accidentally activates the third, which trapped Team Rocket as well. Treecko attempted to break the cage with {{m|Slam}} but to no avail. Little did they notice, the tide started to come in. Back at the Pokémon Center, Ash was at Corphish's bedside dreaming of being in a battle with it. He commands it to use Crabhammer and Corphish lightly bonks him on the head. Back at the beach, Brock finally realized that the tide was coming in and that they were all at risk of drowning. Brock then looked at Taillow and got an idea.

The next morning, Corphish felt a hundred percent better and Ash noticed it. Then Taillow came flying in from the window with a tape recorder around its neck. Ash played it hearing Brock's voice on it. He told him the situation and told him to hurry. Back at the beach, the tide was already up to their necks. They then spot Corphish swimming at full speed towards them. Following it was Ash and Nurse Joy in a speed boat. Ash then told Corphish to use Crabhammer on the cages which immediately sets everyone free. Back at the dock, Team Rocket thanked Ash for saving their lives. However this did not stop them from making one last attempt to steal Pikachu. Ash told Pikachu to use {{m|Thunder}} on them followed by Corphish's BubbleBeam which blasted them off for the second time. Afterwards Brock began to thank and flirt with Nurse Joy at the same time. May and Max then thank Corphish. Corphish happily started to smack everyone around.

*{{Ash}} scans {{TP|May|Silcoon}} with his [[Pokédex]], but not {{TP|Jessie|Cascoon}}. This may be because, like Jessie, he thought both Wurmple had evolved into Silcoon.
* Following the trend from [[AG023|the previous episode]], the title is a pun of a common phrase involving fish. In this case, it's the phrase ''A fish out of water''.
** Interestingly enough, both episodes have "Corphish" in the title.

===Errors===
* When Team Rocket fly away, May's Silcoon disappears.
* When Ash finds the Pecha Berries on the trees, he refers to the tree as a "Pechan" Berry tree.
* Ash's Pikachu uses Thunderbolt two times when Ash is in the water, so Ash would've been shocked too.

PikachuXRaichu: /* Ninetales */

Since the article's been moved and all, what about all the links to <nolink>[[Brock]]</nolink>? Should they get changed as well? [[User:J-J-M|'''J''']]'''-'''[[User talk:J-J-M|'''J''']]'''-'''[[Special:Contributions/J-J-M|'''M''']] 10:40, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
:We're slowly getting through them. Feel free to help. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 10:54, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

== Edit request ==

<nowiki>{{Electric Tale of Pikachu characters}}</nowiki>--[[User:Dennou Zenshi|でんのう]] ☢ [[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|'''Z'''えんし]] 19:45, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
:Done. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 19:55, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

== Doctor vs. Breeder ==

So... which one would be appropriate seeing the recent change about it. --[[User:Joeshie|+ Joeshie +]] ''([[User talk:Joeshie|is Mæ!]])'' 07:16, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

== On Hand vs. At Home ==

Ok, so Brock has returned home to study at become a doctor. So, just like Misty's page, should we list Sudowoodo, Chansey, and Croagunk as at home/Pewter Gym with all the other ones? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 17:05, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

== Trivia Edit Request ==

"''Despite starting out as a Rock-type Gym Leader, of all the Pokémon Brock currently owns, only one is pure Rock-type, Sudowoodo. '''Currently, it is with him.'''''" 
Remove the bold part please since all of his pokemon are with him.--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 23:48, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
:Done. Changed to "In [[DP191|Brock's last appearance]], it was with him."--[[User:Jediknightdtv|JediKnight]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|DTV]] 00:01, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

== Steel type ==

Brock is not the only main character with steel types because of [[Iris]] ''[[User:DoTheWave|<big>D</big>o]][[User talk:DoTheWave|The]][[Wigglytuff (Jungle 16)|Wave]]'' 22:44, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
:Removed. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 22:50, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

== Little League ==

In [[EP125|The Little Big Horn]] it is said that he played in {{wp|Little League}} when he was younger. Should that be noted? ''[[User:DoTheWave|Do]][[User talk:DoTheWave|The]][[Wigglytuff (Jungle 16)|Wave]]'' 21:13, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

== Flint City ==

In [[EP244|Enlighten Up!]] Brock mentions he is "Brock, from Flint City." I presume this is just a mistake on the part of the script writers (especially as Flint is Brock's father) but I thought I would check just in case I had missed something elsewhere. [[User:Nytik|Nytik]] 19:04, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

== Eye color ==
Why it's said they are black? He had his eyes opened only couple times and we never saw actual eyeballs. Sure, there is this screenshots: [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/8/87/Brock_open_eyes.png] and [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/3/3d/Brock_eyes_open.png] but we can see only dots, thats not enough to determine his eye color. If there is another source of information, it should be mentioned in the article --[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГЬ]] 12:23, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

== Harrison ==
Why doesn't it give Brock's surname at the top of the page if it's been confirmed? Lucariade 18:31, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
:Because it hasn't been confirmed. No official source has confirmed it. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 19:02, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
::And just in case you are wondering, voice actor confirmed =/= officially confirmed. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 22:46, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

== TCG ==

Shouldn't cards like [[Brock's Vulpix (Gym Heroes 73)]] be included in the TCG section? [[User:Bulbajer|Bulbajer]] 21:58, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
:I personally think it should be mentioned. I would go ask {{u|Maverick Nate}} about it since he's the Project TCG leader. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 00:26, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

== Ninetales ==

Shouldn't the Ninetales from ''Just Waiting on a Friend'' be listed as befriended? Brock commanded it, but he also befriended the Ninetales. [[User:PikachuXRaichu]] 03:36, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

PikachuXRaichu: /* Released */

[[Image:Alice_Telesu.png|thumb|Alice Telesu]]
'''Alice Telesu''' (Japanese: '''テレス・アリス''' ''Alice Telesu'') is a [[character of the day]] in the Pokémon anime.

She appeared in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''. Alice was traveling with her archaeologist [[Professor Telesu|father]], who was studying hieroglyphics near a lake full of {{p|Slowpoke}} that suffered a drought after an earthquake. According to the hieroglyphics, a Slowpoke needed to evolve into a {{p|Slowking}} to save the colony, but the {{p|Shellder}} in the lake kept on latching on to the Slowpoke and causing them to evolve into {{p|Slowbro}}. Alice's Slowpoke, Arthur, was able to make it, and was intelligent enough to lead the Slowpoke and Slowbro into an underground cave where water was plentiful.

Alice was saddened to see Arthur, who she had known since he was a baby, go. Nevertheless, she knew that it was for the best that he leave.

|desc=Alice had a {{p|Slowking}}, nicknamed '''Arthur''' (Jp: '''アーサー''' ''Arthur''), which she had ever since he was a Slowpoke. A legend stated that a Slowpoke needed to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a Slowking to save the colony from a drought, but the problem was that all the {{p|Shellder}} in the lake kept evolving them into {{p|Slowbro}}. Arthur first appeared beside Alice and was introduced to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}.

The group watched as Arthur jumped across several rocks in an attempt to reach the [[King's Rock]]. As the Shellder tried to attack him, Arthur dodged them, but also slipped into the water. Using his tail as a propeller, Arthur was able to climb out of the water. As he reached the King's Rock, several Shellder jumped and tried to bite him, but {{AP|Larvitar}} used {{m|Screech}} and scared them off. Arthur was able to grab the King's Rock, and a Shellder clamped down on it, allowing him to evolve into Slowking.

After battling {{TRT}}, Arthur led the Slowpoke and Slowbro through a waterfall into the Slowpoke Paradise. Alice realized she needed to release Arthur so it could stay with the colony. Although she was sad, she knew it was the right thing to do.

He made another brief appearance in ''[[EP263|Address Unown!]]'' where he was part of an {{p|Unown}}'s dimension.

His nickname may have been based off King Arthur, because Ash, Misty, Brock, and Alice called him "king" after Arthur evolved into Slowking.}}

|desc=While Alice never owned the {{p|Shellder}} that evolved with Arthur, she did have some degree of possession over the Shellder due to it combining with her Slowpoke to form Slowking, before releasing them both to lead the colony.

It also reappeared with Arthur in the {{p|Unown}}'s dimension in ''[[EP263|Address Unown!]]''

Shellder was not seen to use any moves before or after its evolution.}}

'''Cyrus''' (Japanese: '''アカギ''' ''Akagi'') is the boss of [[Team Galactic]], a man with the aim of destroying and then recreating the entire universe in his image, without emotions, so that there may be no conflict.

==In the games==
As the boss of Team Galactic, Cyrus is the nihilistic, god-complexed main antagonist of the [[Sinnoh]] games, with the ultimate goal of summoning {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} in order to destroy the universe so that he may start it again as its god. Born and raised in [[Sunyshore City]], he was known to be a good, albeit asocial, student, and so preferred the company of machines over humans and Pokémon. Despite being such a good student, however, he did not live up to his parents' expectations, and so felt rejected. Sometime after this, he decided emotions were the source of all strife in the world, and that only the elimination of emotions, along with spirit, was the only cure to fighting in the world, which lead to his plan and actions during the storyline in Sinnoh. His grandfather, who lives on {{rt|228|Sinnoh}} in {{game|Platinum}}, regrets not taking him in during his time of need.

==={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}===
The player first meets him in [[Mt. Coronet]], but he does not battle, nor give his name. Later on, the two men guarding [[Lake Valor]] will mention his name in passing, though Cyrus himself is not identified until he introduces himself after the {{player}} defeats a {{tc|Galactic Grunt}} and investigates the ruins in [[Celestic Town]].

After his defeat at Spear Pillar, Cyrus claims he will have revenge and disappears. His assets and duties are left to [[Saturn]].

====Quotes====
=====Mt. Coronet=====
:''"According to one theory, Mt. Coronet is where the Sinnoh region began. In a newly created world... A world where only time flowed and space expanded.. There should have been no strife. But what became of that world? Because the human spirit is weak and incomplete, strife has appeared... This world is being ruined by it...I find the state of things to be deplorable..."''

=====Celestic Town=====
:''"There appears to have been an insignificant struggle here. Everyone should step back and view things from a bigger perspective. Yes, a bigger perspective, one that is on a universal scale. My name is Cyrus. I seek the power to create a new world, a world without strife. However that power seems to be unavailable here... We've met before, yes? It was at Mt. Coronet. If you discover any power derived from the legends of Sinnoh, inform me. For that power is what I need to create my new world."''

=====Team Galactic HQ=====
*Before battle
:''"I see. You must be the Trainer I've been hearing about. The foolhardy one that's trying to stand up to Team Galactic. Although I'd hardly expected to see that the Trainer is a mere child. I'd heard that our Commanders had a rough time with you... I know why you're here, I can sense it in you. It's about {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, correct? You want to save them... I no longer have any need for them. I am finished with them. If your heart aches to save them, go right ahead, I couldn't care less. It will save me the trouble of disposing of them."''

:''"But I must say... You are a remarkable specimen. Those Pokémon have nothing to do with you, do they not? But still you came to rescue them out of pity? Such pitifully useless emotions... It's illogical and irrational. Pity and compassion are products of the weak and lacking human heart. You were compelled to come here by vacuous sentimentality! I will make you regret paying heed to your heart!"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"My last Pokémon."''

*During battle (less than half HP)
:''"I see... I may lose if this pace continues..."''

*When defeated
:''"Interesting and quite curious."''

*After being defeated
:''"I see. You are indeed strong. And the basis of your power is your compassion toward Pokémon. How wasteful... Such emotions are but mere illusions. And, like all illusions, they fade over time until death banishes them forever. That is why I have abandoned all emotions as useless sentimentality. But that doesn't matter. I doubt you will ever understand my position. That said, I recognize that you are strong and courageous to come alone. This is your reward."''

:''"The Master Ball is the ultimate Poké Ball. It will unfailingly catch any Pokémon in the wild. But it is not anything that I require. Unlike you Trainers, I do not make Pokémon my friends or partners. Unlike other Team Galactic members, I don't use Pokémon as tools. Instead, I make the power of Pokémon my own. If you wish to save the Pokémon from the lakes, take the warp panel ahead. I am off to Mt. Coronet. That's correct. Mt. Coronet. Where you and I first met. I will ascend the mountain to its peak and put an end to everything... No. I will bring about a new beginning for everything..."''

=====Spear Pillar=====
:''"Now all will end. And everything will begin. With this [[Red Chain]] I will pry open the portal to another dimension. I command that you unleash all your power for me... {{p|Dialga}}{{sup|D}}/{{p|Palkia}}{{sup|P}} the mythical Pokémon and the master of time{{sup|D}}/space{{sup|P}}! This will bring about the destruction of all things. With everything gone, there will be no fighting and no strife. Can you feel time/space distorting? Only I can choose to stop it. This is the mythical Pokémon that created Sinnoh! Dialga{{sup|D}}/Palkia{{sup|P}} the ancient deity of time/space! This world cannot be molded into the ultimate world I seek! It's far easier to create an entirely new world than to change this one! A new world in which I am the ruler of all things! I shall become a deity!"''

:''"Oh! Dialga{{sup|D}}/Palkia{{sup|P}}... This is... Fantastic! Beautiful! It's the creating of a new galaxy! My new world! ... Wh-what?!"''

*Before battle
:''"The Red Chain! It crumbled away to nothing?! But why? Why would {{p|Mesprit}}, the Pokémon of Lake Verity, appear by your side? But never mind that! It's all destroyed! My galaxy is gone! I won't allow this... I will capture those three again and craft another Red Chain! But before I even think about that, I'm going to completely crush you!"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"I admit that you have pushed me to this extreme."''

*During battle (less than half HP)
:''"This... this cannot be! It's not possible that I lose!"''

*When defeated
:''"I won't admit this! The power spoken of in mythology... I didn't just make it obey me, I made it my own!"''

*After being defeated
:''"What is truly ultimate to you? What do you consider perfection? The most important thing... What shines the brightest... Telling you is meaningless. But I will not give up. I will become a deity one day... And I will make the ultimate mine..."''

==={{game|Platinum}}===
[[File:CyrusPlatopen.png|thumb|right|256px|Cyrus in the opening of Platinum]]
Cyrus has, in a way, more of a role in {{v2|Platinum}}, as he is first met at [[Lake Verity]] near the start of the game. He is also met in front of the statue in [[Eterna City]]. Unlike before, he is first battled in the ruins of [[Celestic Town]]. After summoning both Dialga and Palkia at Spear Pillar, he is taken by {{p|Giratina}} to the [[Distortion World]]. After the player battles Giratina, Cyrus stays in the Distortion World, still vowing to create a world without spirit.

====Quotes====
=====Lake Verity=====
:''"...The flowing time... The expanding space... I will make it all mine one day... Cyrus is my name. Remember it... Until then, sleep while you can, legendary Pokémon of the lake bed...."''

:''"Allow me to pass. Step aside."''

=====Eterna City=====
:''"...So, this is Eterna's Pokémon statue... Shaping our world are time and space in an interwining spiral. Revered in Sinnoh are the Pokémon of time and space... Sinnoh's myth... Its truth needs investigation..."''

:''"...Pardon me. Stand aside."''

:''"..."''

=====Mt. Coronet=====
:''"According to one theory, Mt. Coronet is where the Sinnoh region began. In a newly created world... A world where only time flowed and space expanded... There should have been no strife. But what became of the world? Because the human spirit is weak and incomplete, strife has spread... This world is being ruined by it... I find this state of affairs deplorable..."''

=====Celestic Town=====
*Before battle
:''"I would like to know more about that legend, if you will."''

:''"My name is Cyrus. I want to put an end to pointless strife and hostility. I am seeking the power to create the ideal world. Thus, I want you to answer. The world today can't change because the [[Lake guardians|three Pokémon]] keep it in balance. Is that what you are saying?"''

:''"...Plead ignorance, will you? What a pointless attitude. You fail to appreciate that the world is incomplete. I will change the world. As the first step, I will destroy this cave painting that you've protected all these years. A new legend of a new world will take its place. Am I wrong? If you feel that way, challenge me."''

:''"...I know you, Trainer. We've met at Mt. Coronet. Why would to protect this incomplete world? As the boss of Team Galactic, I will show you the error of your ways."''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"You've forced my hand this time!"''

*When defeated
:''"Impressive. Your prowess is notable."''

*After being defeated
:''"...Remarkable. But, Elder, your attitude told me what I needed to know. If the beings of time and space are brought together, they can't be stopped..."''

=====Team Galactic HQ=====
:''"Fellow members of Team Galactic! Hear me! My name, as I appear to you today, is Cyrus. This world of ours is a crude one. In a word, it is incomplete. It has been, and always will be, a struggle to survive in this world. We humans and Pokémon are likewise incomplete. Because we are all so lacking, we fight, we maim... It is ugly. I hate the incompleteness. That we are all incomplete, I hate it with my entire body and being. The world should be complete. The world must change. Then, who will change it? Me, Cyrus. And Team Galactic. Yes, all of you. Together we pored over myths and exposed their secrets. Together we captured legendary Pokémon. And now, Team Galactic has obtained the energy to change the world! The power of dreams is within our grasp! Understand it, fellow members! My long-held dreamworld is on the verge of becoming reality. All those headed to Mt. Coronet, and those who remain here... Though our missions may differ, our hearts beat as one. Let there be glory for Team Galactic!"''

*Before battle
:''"...So you've come. You heard my speech, I take it. Snicker... A big lie, of course. It's true, insofar as my intention is to create a new world. But that world isn't for the likes of Team Galactic. I seek an entirely new world solely for myself. If not, it could never be the complete and perfect world. You've seen my minions of Team Galactic. You yourself must know that they are uniformly useless and incomplete."''

:''"I know why you're here. I can sense it in you. It's about {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, correct? You want to save them... I no longer have any need for them. I am finished with them. If your heart aches to save them, go right ahead. I couldn't care less. It will save me the trouble of disposing them."''

:''"But, I must say... You are a remarkable specimen. Those Pokémon have nothing to do with you, do they? But still you come to rescue them out of pity? Such pitifully useless emotions... It's illogical and irrational. Pity and compassion are products of the weak and faulty human heart. You were compelled to come here by such vacuous sentimentality! I will make you regret paying heed to your heart!"''

=====Spear Pillar=====
:''"... ... Everything is ready for the creation of a new world. Now, all will end. And everything will begin. With this, the Red Chain made from the crystals of the three lake Pokémon. And this, the Red Chain I replicated with technological means... With these Red Chains I will pry open the portal to another dimension. I command that you unleash your power for me..."''

:''"{{p|Dialga}}, the mythical Pokémon, and the master of time! ...And the other. {{p|Palkia}}, the mythical Pokémon, and the master of space and dimensions!"''

:''"I've waited so long for this moment, Dialga and Palkia. Shaping this world is a double spiral of time and space. Yes, the very things that you have the ability to control! You will do my bidding! I will have your abilities as mine! With the power I wield, I will create an entirely new world! The incomplete and ugly world we have now can disappear. I am resetting everything to zero. Nothing can remain. It is all for making the ultimate world. A world of complete perfection. Nothing so vague and incomplete as spirit can remain."''

:''"...I should have expected as much. {{p|Uxie}}, "The Being of Knowledge." {{p|Azelf}}, "The Being of Willpower." And {{p|Mesprit}}, "The Being of Emotion"..."''

:''"The Pokémon have come to protect Sinnoh? Pathetic and worthless. It takes the three of them, the three lake Pokémon that symbolize spirit, to balance either the Pokémon of time or space. But they can't maintain balance against the two. Not when both Dialga and Palkia are here. Their coming here is in vain. So much meaningless drama. Now, <player>. You've constantly interfered with my plans, but you will be forgiven. After all, there will remain no spirit for all time when I am done. All spirit will disappear. It will be ripped away... From you! From your Pokémon! From those precious to you...! It is time! My dream will be my reality!"''

:''"What is this pressure I feel...? Something...is enraged?"''

:''"Interesting. So, there is a Pokémon that can only appear as a shadow."''

:''"Regardless, the effort is rash and foolish. I have harnessed the powers of Dialga and Palkia..."''

:''"I, Cyrus, won't have any more interferererererere...!"''

=====Distortion World=====
:''"... The shadowy Pokémon isn't here. It abandoned me here, then disappeared somewhere farther down... Was it content to merely interfere with my plan...? Incidentally, do you understand the concept of genes?"''

:''"... If it's true, you've impressed me. Genes can be considered the blueprints of all life-forms. That includes humans and Pokémon alike. Genes are contained in a DNA strand. A DNA strand consists of 2 chains of opposing characteristics in a spiral. If one of the chains were to be broken, the other could replicate it. One or the other cannot exist without its opposite."''

:''"Do you understand where I am going with this? This is a bizarre world. Time doesn't flow. Space isn't stable. Only that shadowy Pokémon lives here. This world is the opposite of our world-- our world I wish to change. It is like the two chains composing the strand of DNA. The two worlds must be balancing each other to remain in existence. Without one, the other cannot exist. The shadowy Pokémon must play a role in keeping the worlds in balance. That is why it must have interfered and brought me here. The shadowy Pokémon must have made this bizarre world. That's why trying to change our world disturbed it and made it reveal itself. But that is all irrelevant. What matters is defeating that Pokémon and making this world disappear. I won't allow it to interfere with me again. With it gone, neither world will be able to revert to its original state..."''

*Before battle
:''"Why should I run and hide from the world and have to wait quietly? My aim is to rid our world of the vague and incomplete thing we call spirit. By freeing ourselves of that, our world can be made complete. That is my justice! No one can interfere!"''

:''"I won't lose! Not to that shadowy Pokémon! Not in any worthless world!"''

* After battle
:''"... Don't think that you can defeat or capture that Pokémon. This bizarre world is none other than that Pokémon itself! Capturing it or defeating it will make this world disappear! Very well! Do what you will! Rather than repairing the world, you're going to destroy it for me! Do it. You inherit my legacy."''

* After defeating or capturing Giratina
:''"That Pokémon... That shadowy Pokémon was captured/defeated?! Your doing so means that this irrational world will remain in existence! Does that make it impossible for me to create a new world? Even if I made new Red Chains, the new world can't be made! Why?! What compels you to protect the two worlds? Is spirit, a vague and incomplete thing, so important to you?!"''

* If the player fled from Giratina
:''"That shadowy Pokémon... You quelled its rage by refusing to battle it?!"''

:''"Silence! Enough of your blathering! That's how you justify spirit as something worthwhile?! That is merely humans hoping, deluding themselves that they are happy and safe! The emotions roiling inside me... Rage, hatred, frustration... These ugly emotions arise because of my own incomplete spirit! ... Enough. We will never see eye to eye. This, I promise you. I will break the secrets of the world. With that knowledge, I will create my own complete and perfect world. One day, you will awaken to a world of my creation. A world without spirit."''

[[File:Cyrus anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Cyrus in the anime]]
He made his first appearance in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', along with [[Mars]], [[Jupiter]] and [[Saturn]]. It was revealed that he is a rich businessman who has made most of the buildings and libraries throughout [[Sinnoh]]. However, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|the others}} do not know that he is also the [[Team Galactic]] leader. Using his businessman alter-ego, he visits the [[Celestic Town Historical Research Center]] while the remaining members of [[Team Galactic]] carry out a plan to steal the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Lustrous Orb}} from the Research Center, after having already stolen the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Adamant Orb}} from its [[Eterna City]] police escort.

He discovers from {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} that they have seen {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Mesprit}} when the two tell of their encounters with the mysterious Pokémon at [[Lake Verity]] and [[Lake Valor]], which apparently intrigues him

He appeared again in ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]''. He was seen in Team Galactic's headquarters alongside Saturn and Jupiter as well as [[Charon]]. They were coordinating Mars's mission on [[Iron Island]] and using a beam launched with the [[Spear Key]] to scan energy readings from the [[Spear Pillar]]. However, Mars's machine was destroyed when the scan had reached only 60%, presumably ruining their mission. Despite this, Cyrus did not appear to be discouraged.

Cyrus also appeared towards the end of ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', where he requested [[J]]'s services in capturing {{p|Uxie}}, Mesprit and Azelf. In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', he takes control of Dialga and Palkia, and steps into a portal created by the two legendary Pokémon. The portal was soon destroyed, leaving Cyrus's fate unknown.

He appeared briefly in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' in [[Team Rocket]]'s fantasy with all the other members of Team Galactic.

[[File:Cyrus Adventures.png|thumb|right|220px|Cyrus in Pokémon Adventures]]
Cyrus makes his first appearance in [[PS348|Vs. Stunky]] as a silhouette walking down {{rt|207|Sinnoh}} where he receives a package; he is fully revealed after signing the receipt and goes to [[Mt. Coronet]]. When {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} pass through Mt. Coronet he coldly attacks them with his newly evolved Probopass and Magnezone, trapping them underneath a pile of rubble and leaves while stating that they were disturbing sacred ground.

Cyrus later appears at the Celestic ruins where Diamond and Pearl finally meet him in person. He came to the ruins to find information of the Legendary Pokémon Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit. He battles [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] and later, Diamond and Pearl, who had stolen the camera he used to take pictures of the paintings in the ruins. As they battle each other, Pearl has his [[Chatler]] destroy the camera that Cyrus was fighting for. With his camera destroyed and having the information he needed, Cyrus takes his leave and traps the two boys on top of a pillar of stone.

After [[Mars]], [[Jupiter]], and [[Saturn]] arrive from their successful mission to capture the [[Lake guardians]], Cyrus begins the creation of the [[Red Chain]].

After managing to make one Red Chain, Cyrus is attacked by the researcher of the Sinnoh myths and the Sinnoh region Champion, [[Cynthia]]. After a long battle, Cyrus manages to escape with Cynthia and her Garchomp far too exhausted to follow him. When he goes to check on the progress of the second Red Chain’s creation, he finds that Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie have all been freed from their containers. Cyrus, realizing that recapturing them would be impossible and that he has to use his weaker, artificially created Red Chain, furiously flies off to the [[Spear Pillar]].

He arrives at the Spear Pillar where he greeted by his Galactic Commanders who were worried about his injured state. Cyrus tells them to ignore it and stop any intruders from interrupting his ritual to summon the Legendary {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Cyrus manages to summon the two dragon Pokémon and has them fight each other, causing Time and Space to distort in various ways. Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter are eventually defeated by the Sinnoh Gym Leaders and they all ambush Cyrus while he has Dialga and Palkia fight each other. Despite his best efforts, Cyrus is unable to stop them from breaking the Red Chain he was using and unleashes his fury onto them.

Later, when Diamond and Pearl go through with their assault on Dialga and Palkia, Cyrus attacks them while under the cover of a thick black {{m|haze}}. He reveals the reason for why he tried to make a new world; while Emotion, Knowledge, and Willpower make up a complete world, the world they live always has one that is lacking compared to the other two and as such, Cyrus aims to create a world without any of these aspects, a world that is perfect.

When Diamond uses his newly acquired {{p|Regigigas}} to stop Dialga and Palkia from causing anymore space-time anomalies, Cyrus attacks the boy and knocks him off the giant Pokémon. Cyrus states that Diamond wouldn’t be able to understand the reason why he does the things he does but the young boy replies with his own definition of Time and Space that he had learned on his journey with Pearl and Platinum. Cyrus at first ignores his words but quickly notices that Dialga and Palkia have stopped fighting with each other and quickly uses the Red Chain to get them fighting again. With only one Red Chain, Cyrus only has half control over the two dragons; Diamond and Pearl decide to take advantage of this and attack the two dragons with their teams.

Dialga and Palkia, now freed from their controlled status, use their powers to create a sphere of light that pulls Cyrus off the ground and into it. As he floats into the sphere of light, Cyrus looks at the Sinnoh Pokédex holders and realizes that they are a perfect combination of Knowledge (Platinum), Emotion (Diamond), and Willpower (Pearl) and that was the reason he was defeated. He is next seen lying unconscious on the ground where Cynthia decides to take him to the hospital before interrogating him. While he and the unconscious Gym Leaders he had defeated earlier are taken to get medical help an accident caused by [[Charon]]'s machine caused a [[Distortion World|hole]] to appear in the sky where mysterious {{p|Giratina|black tentacles}} grab Dialga, Palkia, and Cyrus into it.

===''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]''===
[[File:Cyrus DPA.png|thumb|right|Cyrus in Diamond and Pearl Adventure]]
Cyrus is first seen watching a contest being performed by [[Mitsumi]] in [[Hearthome City]]. He introduces himself as a friend of hers to [[Hareta]] and then leaves after asking Hareta to give her his regards on her performance.

Later, at [[Celestic Town]], Cyrus along with two of his commanders, [[Jupiter]] and [[Saturn]] arrive at the ruins after Hareta manages to throw a bomb they planted into a safe area. Here, Cyrus introduces himself to Hareta as the leader of Team Galactic and reveals that he is also searching for the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Dialga}}. After revealing his plans, Cyrus makes his leave while Hareta follows him and Mitsumi is left behind to battle Jupiter and Saturn.

After catching up to him, Cyrus offers to let Hareta join him in his operation; Hareta refuses and they begin battling. The two have an intense battle and eventually, Hareta is knocked off of the bridge they were fighting on and is sent into the water below. Cyrus soon mulls over his victory but Hareta suddenly returns from the water and defeats his {{p|Weavile}} with a {{a|Torrent}} powered {{m|Surf}}. Suddenly, Cyrus realizes that he is starting enjoy their battle; in a fit of rage, Cyrus commands his {{p|Gyarados}} to use {{m|Giga Impact}}, destroying the bridge and sending Hareta into water once again. Cyrus then leaves while questioning how he lost control over himself in their battle.

Later, at [[Lake Valor]], Cyrus arrives after Saturn is defeated by Hareta. Disappointed by his failure, Cyrus unceremoniously fires Saturn from Team Galactic and tells him to leave. Noticing that Hareta is still alive after previously defeating him, he is challenged to a battle by the boy and they begin battling. Cyrus almost defeats Hareta again but he quickly loses his advantage once Hareta sets up a well planned move. Before his Gyarados can be defeated by a {{m|Thunder}} fired from Hareta's {{p|Luxio}}, Saturn saves it with his {{p|Rhyperior}}'s {{a|Lightningrod}} and begs for another chance. Suddenly, Hareta defeats Saturn with a {{a|Torrent}} powered-up {{m|Surf}} from his Piplup; Cyrus takes the unconscious Saturn away and states that their battle was a draw.

Later, while Jupiter battles Mitsumi at Lake Acuity, Cyrus sends a phone call to Jupiter where he requests that Mitsumi comes to him. It is eventually revealed that Cyrus had picked up Mitsumi when she was a child and raised her to be Team Galactic's greatest warrior. By holding her beloved {{p|Eevee}} as hostage, Cyrus forces Mitsumi to once again fight for him and makes her battle Hareta. As they battle, Cyrus coldly tries to convince Mitsumi that she is alone in the world and that she only belongs in Team Galactic. Eventually, Hareta manages to break through to Mitsumi and convinces her to fight as a real Trainer instead of a member of Team Galactic.

After Mitsumi is defeated, Cyrus leads Hareta to the room where he holds the three Pokémon of spirit, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. Hareta manages to free them from their prison, but Cyrus managed to complete the item he was creating with the three Pokémon, the [[Red Chain]]. Cyrus assumes that Hareta hates him for his actions but is shocked to only find that he pities him instead. Cyrus gives Hareta a Master Ball and tells him to go to Mt. Coronet where they can have one last battle; he then leaves the exploding Galactic Building with Hareta still inside.

Later, at the Spear Pillar, after waiting for the return of Hareta, Cyrus assumes he had died in the explosion and goes on with his plan. With the Red Chain, Cyrus finally summons the Pokémon of Time, {{p|Dialga}} and takes control of it. With Dialga's control over time, Cyrus easily defeats Hareta's Pokémon and he announces his plan to destroy everything to start the world anew. Cyrus commands Dialga to send the world back to its beginning, causing everything revert back to the start of the universe. [[Hareta's Empoleon]] attempts to sacrifices itself to stop Cyrus, against Hareta's wishes, but is stopped by the [[lake guardians]] who saves them and breaks the Red Chain, freeing Dialga from Cyrus's control.

With Dialga freed, Cyrus has been defeated, but suddenly, the other god Pokémon, {{p|Palkia}}, arrives. While Dialga and Palkia fight, Cyrus witnesses Hareta, Mitsumi, and the Gym Leaders attempt to try and stop them, only to fail. Cyrus states that while the imperfect world will end, nothing will remain to replace it. Mitsumi states that Hareta won't let that happen because he is fighting for all of them. Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter come to help them fight Dialga and Palkia; this causes Cyrus to tell them how to defeat the two dragons.

Hareta uses Cyrus's plan and manages to get Dialga to use {{m|Roar of Time}}, stopping it momentarily. With Dialga frozen briefly, Cyrus and the others command their Pokémon to attack Dialga, stopping the fight between the two gods. After the events end, Cyrus disappears along with his commanders. Some time afterwards, Cyrus is captured by Charon, who takes over Team Galactic. When Kaisei accidentally breaks into Cyrus' prison cell in the Team Galactic HQ, he offers to free Cyrus, but Cyrus turns him down, saying that he is waiting to see what Charon plans to do with Team Galactic.

During the battle against Charon in the Team Galactic HQ, Mitsumi and the three Commanders free Cyrus, and they set out to the Distortion World to fight Charon. Cyrus and the others, seeing the battle against Giratina in the forest arrive to assist, and Cyrus is last seen fighting Giratina with the others.

Later, when Charon escapes to Stark Mountain hoping to capture Heatran, Agent Looker stops him, claiming that Cyrus has disbanded Team Galactic.

Dialga's known moves are {{m|Roar of Time}}, {{m|AncientPower}}, and {{m|Dragon Claw}}.}}

==Names==
His Japanese name, {{wp|Akagi}}, is a common surname in Japan, which may indicate that, like [[Giovanni]], his name in Japan is merely his last name, leaving his first unknown. "Akagi" means "red castle", "red tree", or "red future", the last of which may reference the many deaths that would have taken place if his scheme had come to fruition. It may also refer to the [[Red Chain]] which Cyrus needs to summon the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Dialga}} and/or {{p|Palkia}}, at the [[Spear Pillar]]. It could also be in reference to Planet X, also known as the Red Planet, Nibiru, Wormwood, Quetzalcoatl, and many more names. It is an apocalyptic conspiracy, but there are many different theories about what exactly it is. There is also a volcano called Akagi in the real-world [[wp:Kantō region|Kanto region]] of Japan.

The majority of Cyrus's localized names refer to the Sun; this fits in with the Commanders' planetary naming scheme, and may be a reference to how Cyrus would figuratively hold the Sun's position as center of his new world. The Korean and Chinese names contain both a reference to red, like the Japanese one, and to the Sun, like the localized Western ones.

==Trivia==
* The ''aka'' that appears in his Japanese name may refer to the color red, as a counterpart to [[Cynthia]], whose Japanese name refers to ''shiro'', white.
* In the games, Cyrus's Pokémon are all either of {{type2|Dark}} and/or {{type2|Flying}} (his Honchkrow is both). Also all of Cyrus's Pokémon are dual-typed, and they all have a weakness to {{t|Rock}}.
* Until [[Charon]]'s introduction, Cyrus was the only one of the four major characters of Team Galactic that does not share a name with a planet. Charon's Japanese namesake, {{wp|Pluto}}, is a {{wp|dwarf planet}}, but was considered a planet between its 1930 discovery and 2006. {{wp|Charon (moon)|Charon}} is the largest of Pluto's three moons. This makes Cyrus the only named Team Galactic member who is not named for a solar system object (though his English and German names are derived from one).
* Cyrus is the first leader of a [[villainous teams|villainous team]] to appear in the opening of a {{game3|Platinum|game}}.
* Although there are only three red gems visible on each of {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, Cyrus will recreate the Red Chain as many times as the player loses to him.
* Cyrus is the first leader of a [[villainous team]] to have his age confirmed. [[Looker]] confirms his age in the Team Galactic Headquarters in [[Veilstone City]].
* Cyrus shares {{p|Honchkrow|a Pokémon}} with Giovanni, another leader of a villainous gang, though the latter was never shown with one until the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
**Additionally, it is worth noting that {{adv|Silver}}, a counterpart to Giovanni's {{ga|Silver|own son}}, also possesses a Honchkrow.
***Silver and his counterparts own every single Pokémon Cyrus owns in the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl versions: Weavile, Honchkrow and Gyarados in Pokémon Adventures and Crobat in the games.
* In both the original Japanese version and English dub of the anime, Cyrus's voice actors have previously portrayed leaders of other villainous teams. [[Sean Schemmel]] played [[Team Aqua]] head [[Archie]], and [[Kenta Miyake]] also voices {{an|Giovanni}}, the boss of [[Team Rocket]].

They were friends 150 years ago when they were both alive. He had a tendency to shock people, and after a particularly nasty incident Sandy's parents left him in a box by the ocean.Sandy promised to meet him there, but they were both killed by a tidal wave before they could meet. 

Raichu then became a ghost and, because he thought Sandy had abandoned him, became quite bitter and belligerent. It wasn't until Pikachu and his friends stepped in to help that Raichu understood what really happened and reconciled with Sandy. He and Sandy then departed to the afterlife. 

Raichu and Sandy appear again when Eevee gets possessed by a Golduck ghost. They are shown not to have crossed over to the afterlife yet, remaining still in limbo. They then help Eevee regain control of his body.

Later he and Sandy appear, reincarnated as a little girl and Pichu. They meet and become friends once again.

'''Delia Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''ハナコ''' ''Hanako''), also known as '''Mrs. Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''ママさん''' ''Mama-san'') is {{Ash}}'s [[Mom|mother]] in the [[Pokémon anime]].

==History==
[[File:Younger Delia, Oak and Hale.png|left|thumb|A younger Delia with Professor Oak and Spencer Hale]]
Delia Ketchum is a relatively reserved woman. Despite striking some as unintelligent, she was once a student of {{an|Professor Oak}}, along with [[Spencer Hale]], possibly indicating intelligence normally unthought of her.

She lives in [[Pallet Town]] with [[Mimey]], a {{p|Mr. Mime}}, which she befriended in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]''. She was seen taking care of it while Ash was participating in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. Delia also traveled with Ash to the Unova region in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]''.

Her husband was mentioned in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' as a Trainer still on his journey. However, he has yet to appear onscreen.

According to [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s novelization, she runs Pallet Town's only restaurant, Pallet House, which she inherited from her mother. When she was younger, she dreamed of becoming both a model and a Pokémon Trainer, but abandoned those dreams to run the restaurant after Ash was born. {{an|Brock}} [[EP070|once commented]] that she would make a great Pokémon Trainer because of her perseverance.

She is usually a quiet, cheerful woman, but when angered, she makes it known, not caring who she is talking to, once telling {{mov|Entei|Entei|3}} he should be ashamed of himself in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Delia Ketchum EToP.png|thumb|right|110px|Delia in the manga]]
Delia appears briefly in the {{pkmn|manga}} series, ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'', which is based on the anime.

In ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You!]]'', she and Ash discover {{AP|Pikachu}} under the floorboards of their house, chewing on the wiring to eat the electricity. Later, she gives Ash a tearful farewell as he leaves on his Pokémon Trainer's journey.
 
 
 
 
 

==Trivia==
* In [[Pokémon Live!]] it is stated that she dated {{an|Giovanni}} and was in his gang, but took a better route in life when she met Ash's father, though this might not be the case in the anime.

'''Espeon, Not Included''' (Japanese: '''エーフィとサクラ！エンジュシティふたたび！！''' ''{{tt|Eifie|Espeon}} and Sakura! {{tt|Enju City|Ecruteak City}} Once Again!!'') is the 226th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 29, 2001 and in the United States on September 24, 2002.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} returns to [[Ecruteak City]] and decides to make a pit stop before they go on to [[Mahogany Town]]. They rest a while in front of a store, and {{an|Misty}} says that they should be meeting up with [[Sakura]] here. All of a sudden, an {{p|Espeon}} comes running towards them. Soon afterwards Sakura runs after the Espeon. She tells them that her {{p|Eevee}} has evolved into an Espeon, which completes her sisters' {{p|Eevee}} evolutions. They later go to Sakura's house, and the sisters come out, all formally dressed in kimonos. They explain that they are going to a place to meet a famous dance instructor. After her sisters leave, Sakura asks Misty, who readily accepts, to battle her. The two get ready for their match with Brock as the judge of the fight. Sakura fights with Espeon, and Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}. The battle starts off with Espeon going for a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Espeon quickly gets the favor of the battle, but Corsola, on the other hand, uses {{m|Recover}} and {{m|Pin Missile}}, seizing a win for Misty.

Later, at the place where they were going, the sisters are introduced to two people who seem to be dancers themselves. To start the demonstration, one of them sends out an {{p|Arbok}} and the other sends out a {{p|Victreebel}}, and they begin to dance with them. After the two dancer's demonstration is over, they ask the sisters to dance with their Pokémon. The sisters start off although {{p|Jolteon}} doesn't do much, {{p|Vaporeon}} jumps about, {{p|Umbreon}} just sits there, and {{p|Flareon}} runs around. Afterwards, the two "teachers" say that they will shape the Pokémon in the back room. Each one of them follows the teachers, and the door shuts behind them. They tell the Pokémon to go into another room, which looks rather suspicious. As soon as they gather in the center, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] release a hatch, and down they go into a trap! Umbreon calls out, and the sisters hear it. They make their way towards the door; finding out it was empty on the other side. When they went towards the darkened back room, the wall collapses, revealing a large Meowth head, {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]]! They start to float away with the Pokémon!

Team Rocket basks in their glory as Jessie counts the Pokémon: Jolteon, Vaporeon, Umbreon, and Flareon. All of a sudden, she gets enraged; she knows that one is missing, Espeon!

Meanwhile, the Eevee sisters come running to the battle scene and tell everyone what has happened. They search and none of them can find the missing Pokémon. Sakura gets an idea! Since everyone but Espeon is stolen, she knows that Team Rocket will look for it. Why not use it as bait and find the balloon?

Team Rocket looks around for Espeon from their balloon, eventually seeing it. They lower down near it and snatch it with a bug net. They are successful, but the others watch where they go. They follow Team Rocket's balloon as it heads to a forest clearing. After they land at their site, Team Rocket tries to attempt to trap Espeon with the others, first off by persuading it to eat some food then with a "pretty necklace." Espeon turns away and looks around, soon finding its friends in the cage behind the bushes. James tries to trap the distracted Espeon with a cage. Sakura calls out to it, and Espeon jumps out of the way and onto James's head. The battle starts off, Espeon and Misty's Corsola versus Arbok and Victreebel. The battle escalates until Espeon uses {{m|Psybeam}} onto Team Rocket, confusing them. Pikachu finishes them off with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Espeon then uses {{m|Swift}} on the cage in order to break its friends free from the cage and everyone is rescued.

At Sakura's house, Sakura asks if she can finally set off on her own journey. Her sisters say yes! Sakura explains how she will first set off for [[Violet City]], while Ash heads for Mahogany Town. Misty reminisces about how she started her journey, and then, she says bye to Sakura. They shout about the next time they will meet each other, and Sakura sets off on her own journey.

===Errors===
* When Satsuki and Tamao was focused in their dancing, the Poké Ball hair pin becomes completely red in one point.

* When Ash grabs Brock's ear to get him away from Satsuki, he grabs him by the right ear but when Ash drags him away he is pulling Brock's left ear (in the scene when Sakura decided to use her Espeon as bait).
* When the battle begins between Misty and Sakura, Misty's ponytail disappears.
* When Team Rocket finishes their intro, James's hand is visible.
* After Team Rocket gets Espeon in their net, Ash says, "They got ''him''!" This may not have been an error, though.

===Dub edits===
* Espeon is seemingly using {{m|Agility}} when [[Sakura]] tells it to use {{m|Quick Attack}}.

'''Poké Ball Peril''' (Japanese: '''なんごくポケモンとＧＳボール''' ''Southern Pokémon and the GS Ball'') is the 83rd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on February 11, 1999 and in the United States on January 15, 2000.
{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
After the events in [[EP082|the previous episode]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} managed to touch the {{wp|blimp}} down on [[Valencia Island]]. As they walk, Ash finds the tropical heat exhausting. They get to an outlook and realize that they cannot find [[Professor Ivy]]'s lab. {{AP|Pikachu}} points to what appears to be a [[Pokémon Center]]. They go inside and find [[Nurse Joy]], much like previous centers. Nurse Joy gives them directions to Ivy's lab. They get to the lab and go inside, finding it empty. A floor hatch opens and [[Professor Ivy's assistants|three girls]] greet them, leading the trio down to the beach. A {{p|Gyarados}} comes out of the sea as a woman pets it, shocking everyone by her skill. Gyarados takes her to the shore as one of the girls tosses her a lab coat. She introduces herself as Professor Ivy.

Back at the lab, Ivy shows them the gold and silver ball. She reveals the inscribed letters on the top of the ball, giving it the name the [[GS Ball]]. One of the assistants demonstrates how the ball could not be transported. Ivy also points out how multiple attempts to open it have all failed. Ivy hands the ball over to Ash to deliver to {{an|Professor Oak}}. Ash calls Oak and shows him the GS Ball. Ivy takes the phone and the two professors talk, the scientific terminology baffling Ash and prompting him to cut the call short.

At the airfield, {{MTR}} looks in shock at the ruined blimp. Both Meowth and [[James]] believe the blimp is beyond repair, but [[Jessie]] smacks them and reminds them that Ash and his friends have a return trip booked. Knowing that it means getting another shot at catching Pikachu, {{TRT}} gets to work repairing the blimp.

Ivy leads Ash and the others throughout the outside environment, which serves as her lab. {{an|Misty}} smells the flowers, but a {{p|Vileplume}} steps out of the bushes. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] and notices the Vileplume has {{shiny|different color leaves}}. The assistants rush out a crate of Pokémon food as other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} come out, all possessing different coloring than normal. Ivy points the difference to the tropical climate. {{an|Brock}} and the others are amazed at the varying Pokémon as Pikachu and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} take a sample of the food. Ash and Misty scold them, but attention quickly shifts when an assistant points out that the {{p|Butterfree}} has not eaten in days despite different food combinations. Brock samples the food before running off. He returns to smash berries, pointing out that the taste is important. He sprinkles the solution onto the food, and the Butterfree flies down immediately to eat. The professor is amazed at Brock's skill.

Back at the living quarters, everyone is shocked at the amount of disorder, the assistants referring to it as a little dump. Brock goes crazy at the need to clean, putting on his gear and going into a cleaning frenzy, making the place spotless and preparing an awesome dinner. The professor and the assistants jump into the food as Brock muses at the comparison to his family. Later that night, while everyone sleeps, Professor Ivy and the assistants watch Vileplume mark the area with their pollen. Brock meets with them and gives them a snack as he watches. The assistant notices a {{p|Raticate}} entering the pollen zone. Ivy rushes in to pull Raticate to safety, exposing herself to the pollen and weakening her. She orders the assistants to contact the Pokémon Center. At the center, Joy treats both Raticate and the Professor. Due to her actions, Raticate was not hurt very much and will recover. The assistants show their concerns to Ivy as Brock watches with admiration.

The next day, Ash and Misty prepare to leave, but they notice Brock is not with them. {{cat|Brock's Pokémon}} rush around with him as he fixes the roof. Ivy notes that Brock wants to stay. Brock explains that he can learn about Pokémon at the lab and that they need him more than Ash does. Ash agrees as they shake hands. Ash and Misty leave the lab and wave farewell to Brock, Professor Ivy, and her assistants.

As they walk, Misty notes how different it will be without Brock before bringing up the dilemma about getting back to [[Pallet Town]]. Ash brings out the blimp tickets as Misty mentions how the blimp was a disaster. When they get to the field, they find a brand new blimp on standby. A disguised Team Rocket whisks them aboard. The ship takes to the skies as {{an|Jigglypuff}} manages to get onboard.

When Ash and Misty request food, Team Rocket steps out and drops a steel cage to imprison them before revealing themselves. They notice Brock is not with them and James cracks a joke about Ash and Misty being [[PokéShipping|lovebirds]], which both of them blatantly deny. Ash orders {{AP|Pikachu}} to attack, but Jessie warns that the attack will destroy the entire blimp. Jigglypuff jumps in and {{m|sing}}s. Team Rocket quickly grabs {{wp|Parachute|parachutes}} and opens the hatch, flying out as well as Jigglypuff. Misty and Ash are stuck on the blimp without a pilot.

==Trivia==
[[File:Valencia Island Paras M02.png|thumb|200px|right|Normal-colored {{p|Paras}} from Valencia Island in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'']]
* [[Professor Oak's lecture]]: 
** Pokémon senryū summary: Beware of {{p|Electabuzz}}, thunder, fires, and fathers.
* Despite the fact that this episode marks the beginning of the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands arc]], both [[Kids' WB!]] and [[Cartoon Network]] aired the [[Pokémon Theme|first season intro]] instead of the [[Pokémon World (song)|Orange Islands theme]] for this episode and [[EP082|the previous]].
* Though Professor Ivy said that Pokémon have slightly different coloration in the Orange Islands, only Butterfree's coloration remained consistent in future episodes. All of the other Pokémon seen have had their regular colors in the Orange Islands. Even when a Paras and a Nidorina from [[Valencia Island]] appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', they were normal-colored.
* Near the end of the episode, right before Pikachu uses a Thunderbolt attack on Team Rocket, they warn Ash that the blimp is filled with inflammable gas, and if Pikachu did an electric attack they would "go Pika-boom!" (as Meowth says). This is most likely a reference to the {{wp|Hindenburg disaster}} of 1937, when a German zeppelin filled with inflammable hydrogen gas exploded and crash-landed while attempting to land in New Jersey, killing 36 people. The cause of the explosion was most likely due to a static electricity build-up that had sparked and ignited the gas.

===Errors===
* Both on the title card and on [http://www.pokemon.com/#tvmovies_230 the corresponding page] on [[Pokémon.com]] ''{{ball|Poké}}'' is spelled as one word, unlike its spelling in the games.
* When Ash and Misty are walking by themselves after waving goodbye to everybody, Misty's ponytail is on the right side instead of the left. When the camera changes to the close up, the ponytail is back on the left.
* When saying goodbye, Brock has on his apron, but then is shown with his usual green vest seconds later.
* While on the video phone, Professor Ivy has the receiver and so does Professor Oak, but Ash speaks without it. Ash can obviously hear Professor Oak talking, too.
* If Team Rocket thought Brock was going to be there, why were there only two chairs?

[[File:Pokémon Center online.png|right|thumb|The Pokémon Center North America site the day before closing]]
Online stores were available for Japan and North America, as well as an online store which is currently accessible via mobile phones in Japan. Around mid-January 2008, the Pokémon Center online store in North America displayed a closing message, encouraging shoppers to take advantage of closing sales, because the store would be closing at the end of the month. The store did close effective February 1st, but kept a Q & A site in place of the actual store. The reason given for the closing was: "Pokémon USA, Inc. (now part of [[The Pokémon Company International]]) has decided to sell Pokémon merchandise exclusively through its retail partners." The site continued to accept product returns that met their product return standards and were postmarked by February 21st of that year. Now if you search for "pokemoncenter.com", it will redirect you to the Pokémon website.

==Trivia==
* Every logo uses at least one [[starter Pokémon]], and the franchise mascot, {{p|Pikachu}}.

==Lyrics==
===TV Version===
<ab>''It's always hard,
When the journey begins.
Hard to find your way,
Hard to make new friends.
But there's nothing you can't do,
'Cause you've got the power inside of you.
It's not always black and white,
But your heart always knows what's right.
It's not about win or lose, it's the path you choose.
Let the journey begin,
Pokémon!''</ab>

===Movie Version===
<ab>''It's always hard,
When the journey begins.
Hard to find your way;
Hard to make amends.
But there's nothing you can't do,
'Cause you've got the power inside of you.

It's never easy,
To make a choice:
To keep things inside,
Or raise your voice.
But for everyone there comes a time
When the light inside begins to shine.

It's not always right or wrong,
As long as your spirit's strong.
It's not always win or lose,
It's the road you choose;
The answer's within.

It's not always black and white,
But your heart always knows what's right.
But let the journey begin—

So many choices;
How do we know?
So many places;
Where do we go?
What should I say?
What should I do?
Still, we're together: me and you!

It's not always right or wrong,
As long as your spirit's strong.
It's not always win or lose,
It's the road you choose;
The answer's within.

It's not always black and white,
But your heart always knows what's right.
But let the journey begin:
Pokémon!

There's nothing you can't do,
'Cause you've got the power inside of you.
It's not always right or wrong,
As long as your spirit's strong.
It's not always win or lose,
It's the road you choose;
The answer's within.

It's not always black and white,
but your heart always knows what's right.
Let the journey begin:
Pokémon!''</ab>

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} are all sleeping. All of a sudden, there is a glowing light, which wakes up Cilan, and Iris gets woken up by it too. On the other hand, Ash is still asleep, but soon wakes up and sneezes (accidentally) on {{AP|Pikachu}}. The glowing light is more distinctive than ever and they watch the light fade away, as Cilan says he is also a "Science Connoisseur" and explains all of the methods he comes up with. As such, he thinks it was a UFO, while Iris is surprised and Ash is excited.

The next morning, Ash, Cilan, and Iris are at a local diner. As they talk to a worker there, they realize that they are at [[Area 28]], a place where UFOs are common sightings, which Ash gets down as he thought they made a huge discovery. A customer, hearing this conversation, tells them about [[Professor Icarus]], who has been studying UFOs. Cilan gets excited, saying that he has just finished a book Professor Icarus wrote. The customer begins talking about Professor Icarus's research, and how everybody is very interested in it. One day, a mailman, while delivering, got a severe headache and witnessed outer space floating all around him. The worker continues the story from here, saying people were so concerned for this man they asked Professor Icarus, and Icarus insisted they left at once, and while leaving, they experienced the same feeling as the mailman.
Ash, Iris, and Cilan insist that they go to Icarus's house, and, soon, they head off.

On the road to Professor Icarus's house, there is a bridge. As Ash and company walk across it, an {{p|Elgyem}} sees them, and, when walking near the halfway point of the bridge, they see a vision of Ash falling through the broken parts of the bridge. The three of them get confused, and wonder if that's the future, while Ash raps on a part of a bridge, which falls off easily. All of them get surprised.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is seen spying on the Elgyem, while [[Jessie]] is impressed by Elgyem's powers, and so is [[James]], though he wonders how they're going to catch it with Elgyem using {{m|Teleport}}. {{MTR}} says they'll come up with a device to sense where Elgyem has teleported.

Ash and his friends have gotten across the bridge and are now rapping at Professor Icarus's door, especially Cilan. After a few moments, Icarus finally opens up, while Cilan gets excited, saying how he greatly admires Icarus's work and has just finished the book he has written, and Ash and Iris look slightly sheepish. Icarus, very surprised, invites them in for some snacks, and they allow him to lead them into the house.

The four of them are discussing the odd visions they are experiencing, while even Professor Icarus does not understand. Cilan, still a bit giddy from meeting Icarus, tells everyone the pointers of the book, and Ash, interested, insists that he should read it. Iris teases him since he "can't even get through page one". This upsets Ash, but before Ash and Iris can have their argument, all four of them experience a sudden vision of a lab exploding. Icarus is very fussed and runs, insisting that they don't come with him, though Ash, Iris, and Cilan, worried about what's going to happen to the Professor and the lab, follow anyway.

Icarus is typing wildly, attempting to prevent the building from exploding. Ash, Iris, and Cilan arrive, but Icarus gets annoyed, saying that they should have stayed back there, but Cilan persists that they must help. Icarus gives in and says they could help by pulling a plug out of a large UFO. Ash, Iris, Cilan, and even Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew|Axew}} try to help, but it's no good--the plug simply won't come out. When it looks like all is lost, some Pokémon uses {{m|Telekinesis}} to pull it out, saving the lab and all of them!

Ash and co. look around for the Pokémon, and then they notice an Elgyem, which Ash wrongly states for an alien. Upon finding out it is a Pokémon, Ash scans it with his Pokédex, but the Elgyem gets fearful and hides behind Professor Icarus. Professor Icarus tells Elgyem that it can trust him, and Elgyem comes out reluctantly. Professor Icarus tells them how he met Elgyem.

Suddenly there is a knock on the door, and they wonder who it is, Icarus asking. Apparently, it's Science Workers, who seem to have found out how to manipulate dark matter, something Icarus has been studying for years.So he gets very excited and demands them to show it. The two pull out devices that open, saying it prevents Pokémon powers. They pull out another device, which they do not explain and open it. Bolts of blue electricity wrap around the four of them, and the Science Workers are revealed to be Team Rocket!

Ash gets upset, and Elgyem senses danger and uses Teleport. Apparently the device that senses teleporting activates and it is immediately found out where Elgyem teleported. Another bolt of electricity come out and wraps Elgyem, and once put in the box cannot teleport. Meowth then comes in a machine, as Jessie and James hop in with Elgyem in tow.

Icarus gets very worried as they all attempt to break free. Cilan manages to pull out {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}}'s Poké Ball. Once Dwebble is out, Cilan commands an {{m|X-Scissor}} to break the device, and it works. When they get out, they notice Team Rocket is too far up from the sky, Icarus decides to use the UFO he's been building, and they run inside.

As soon as the UFO is lifted into the air, it lurches a bit, however Icarus is able to manage it. They continue up and get closer, which Team Rocket notices, and Meowth turns the ship upon command. Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} while Ash sends out {{AP|Tranquill}}. Both Trainers order a {{m|Gust}} which seems to have even power at first but eventually Tranquill's goes through, knocking out Woobat. James decides to avenge Jessie and sends out {{TP|James|Yamask}} and orders a {{m|Shadow Ball}}, which explodes, causing some of the shadows to hit Tranquill.

Cilan then sends out {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, and orders a {{m|Bullet Seed}} to destroy the device around Elgyem, and Elgyem teleports back to Professor Icarus. Ash orders a {{m|Electro Ball}} from Pikachu, who obeys and destroys Team Rocket's airship. Team Rocket then flee on their jetpacks but before they leave, James orders Yamask to use {{m|Night Shade}} on Icarus's UFO.

Professor Icarus is grateful, however the UFO goes down because of all of the damage it took from the sky battle. They are about to fall through from the bridge when Elgyem uses Telekinesis to lift it back up!

Back at Icarus's house, they mourn over the broken UFO as they thank Elgyem at the same time. Icarus thinks of how he'll start studying something else, and build another UFO to bring Elgyem back home. However, Elgyem then sends the four of them memories of when it was with Icarus. They all ponder for a while what it means, and Cilan works out that Elgyem wants to stay with Icarus, since it trusts him.

Mayor of Trovitopolis

2012-04-08T21:16:05Z

PikachuXRaichu: /* Abandoned */

[[File:Mayor of Trovitopolis.png|thumb|right|Officer Jenny and the Mayor of Trovitopolis]]
The '''Mayor of Trovitopolis''' (Japanese: '''ビッグシティの市長''' ''Mayor of Big City'') is a [[character of the day]] in the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''.

While {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} were heading through [[Trovitopolis]] on the way to [[Trovita Island]], they landed in the sewers after one of [[Team Rocket]]'s attempts to steal {{AP|Pikachu}} went wrong. The Trovitopolis [[Officer Jenny]] found them down there after [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] got kidnapped by a creature. After Ash and his friends got out of the sewers, they were locked in jail. The mayor wanted to get rid of the creature in the sewers so he could get re-elected, and hired a personal SWAT team to carry out his needs by guarding every sewer entrance in the city. However, after sealing all the exits in the sewers, it turned out the mayor was more concerned about getting re-elected than what was going on down below.

[[File:Mayor of Trovitopolis child.png|thumb|left|The mayor as a child]]
As Ash and his friends were looking for Bulbasaur, {{an|Misty}} and her {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}} got captured, too. It later turned out a {{p|Bulbasaur}} that was [[Giant Pokémon|twice its normal size]] was the creature wreaking havoc. It was lonely after being abandoned by the mayor when he was a child and was looking for someone to keep it company. Ash, Misty, and {{Tracey}} then showed the whole town that the monster was the Bulbasaur that the mayor previous owned, after the pipes got backed up from the concrete-sealed sewer exits and flooded Trovitopolis City Hall.

The mayor revealed the fact he abandoned the Bulbasaur because it wouldn't [[Evolution|evolve]]. After hearing what happened, the townspeople refused to vote for him. He was put away, and the town's [[Nurse Joy]] agreed to take care of the Bulbasaur.

When this didn't happen quick enough, he cruelly dumped Bulbasaur into a sewer and abandoned it without a second thought. Bulbasaur cried out sadly as the wooden raft floated down to the sewer.

As the years passed, although Bulbasaur still didn't evolve, it grew to twice the normal size and abducted [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], {{an|Misty}}, and {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}}. However, Bulbasaur wasn't malicious, it was simply lonely after being alone for so long. Eventually, with the help of his {{AP|Muk}}, Ash brought Bulbasaur back to the surface. However, the mayor still wanted nothing to do with it. While the mayor was arrested, Bulbasaur had a happy ending and was adopted by [[Nurse Joy]].

PikachuXRaichu: /* Trivia */

[[File:Bobby.png|thumb|250px|Bobby]]
'''Bobby''' (Japanese: '''ボビー''' ''Bobby'') is the [[character of the day]] in ''[[BW056|The Lonely Deino!]]''. He met {{Ash}} {{ashfr}} in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|5|Unova}} on their way to [[Driftveil City]].
Bobby helped run the Pokémon Day Care, where he looked after many {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, including three {{p|Deino}} which {{an|Iris}} wanted to befriend. Whilst at the Pokémon Day Care, Iris found that one of the Deino was shy and protective, and made it her challenge to befriend that Deino, even when the other two were returned to their Trainers.

Bobby, Ash, and {{an|Cilan}} took care of all the other Pokémon while Iris took care of the Deino. Once Iris befriended Deino and it was returned to its Trainer, Ash and friends left and continued towards [[Driftveil City]].

PokéShipping

2012-04-06T00:32:26Z

PikachuXRaichu: /* Other hints */

{{ship}}
----
[[Image:Pokeship.jpg|250px|thumb|Ash and Misty in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}]]
'''PokéShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトカス''' ''SatoKasu'') is one of many names given to the couple of {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, supported by many fans of the [[Pokémon anime]]. In the early years, PokéShipping was the most popular Ship in the fandom; it still maintains a strong following to this day, along with {{s|Advance}}, {{s|Contest}}, and {{s|Pearl}}.
{{spoilers}}

==Anime evidence==
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 your point of view. In the original Japanese, the dialogue is read as a friendship between Ash and Misty with no romantic undertones however the writers in Japan have stated there is a mild crush going on but they are too young to realize their feelings. 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.

===Misty's hints===
Most other Shippers tend to agree that Misty has a crush on Ash. This evidence became most prevalent during the Orange Season, long before it became occasional to set upon Ash a girl who becomes infatuated with him.

* ''[[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]]
: When Samurai is searching for Ash, Misty runs toward him, shouting, "Ash!" sounding worried or scared.

*''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''
: Misty tells {{an|Daisy}} that she's back home because of Ash. The remark makes Daisy think Ash and Misty are a couple, which causes Misty to blush an intense shade of red. Also the episodes before this, while trying to get Ash to avoid coming to this city would suggest other locations, often stating because they are "so romantic".

*''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''
: While Ash and {{an|Brock}} fall into infatuation with [[Giselle]], Misty gets angry. Some say that she was jealous because of Ash, while others say that it was because of {{s|Gym|Brock}}.

*''[[EP012|Here Comes The Squirtle Squad]]''
: When Ash gets caught in an explosion to protect {{AP|Squirtle}}, she screams Ash's name, while Brock just stares.

*''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''
: When the ghost skulls attack them, Misty grabs Ash's arm and holds on to him tightly. Ash never seems to have any problem with this, if anything looking like he wanted to be comforted, suggesting that they both look to each other when they are scared and are not embarrassed by this.
: At the end of the episode, Misty invites Ash to dance. When Ash accepts, she takes his hand and they are then seen dancing together as the episode ends.

*''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''
: At the beginning of the episode, Ash, Brock and Misty are walking through the mist on their way to Lavender Town and Brock says they should probably hold hands. Ash and Misty eagerly reply, "Okay!" The two of them hold hands and continue walking, but Brock, who came up with the idea, mistook Pikachu's tail for Ash's hand; Only Ash and Misty are holding hands. Also, when Brock grabs Pikachu's tail because he can't see through the mist, Pikachu fires an electric attack out of fear and Misty grabs onto Ash.

:Later, when Misty thought that Ash had died, she is driven to almost tears, but is interrupted by Ash who comes back to life and she wipes her nose and blushes.

*''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''
: As Ash, Misty, and Brock follow a [[Venonat]] through the Fuchisa Gym, Ash runs into a invisible wall. When the group turns away, Ash runs into another invisible wall and and falls. When she sees this, Misty grabs Ash by the waist and helps him up. Her face expresses concern. After Ash has gotten up, Misty continues to hold on to his arm for a few moments. Brock is completely still while this is happening. Later, when Misty and Brock think Ash had died, Misty is driven almost to tears.

*''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''
: When Misty sees Ash lying unconscious on the ground, she panics and runs to his side, begging Pikachu to "do something."

*''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''
: When Misty, Brock, and Squirtle are digging through the rocks to save Ash, Misty, in the dub, says to herself "Listen Ash you'd better hold on, don't forget you still owe me a new bike!" Also in the original Japanese Misty says Ash had better not die on her. Suggesting that she needs to reassure herself that Ash is okay.

* ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''
: One of the clearest examples to fans of Misty's growing feelings towards Ash in the Indigo League, would be the fact that she completely forgot about her bike being destroyed by Ash, supposedly being the only reason for her traveling with him.

* ''[[EP069|Lights,Camera,Quack-tion]]''
: When {{an|Jigglypuff}} {{m|sing}}s its song, Misty is seen sleeping on top of Ash's back.

* ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''
: Near the end of the episode, with Brock having left Ash and Misty to travel alone, [[James]] says, "I think we may have captured a pair of romantic creatures in our little cage," after which [[Jessie]] swoons and {{MTR}} blurts out, "They're lovebirds!" Ash and Misty deny it all but blush.

: The idea of Ash and Misty as a couple becomes a sub-theme throughout the subsequent Orange League Season, culminating into events in the second movie.

* ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''
: [[Danny]], the [[Navel Island]] [[Gym Leader]], quickly picks up on the nature of Ash and Misty's relationship during one of their arguments and says, "I can see the two of you are pretty close." After Misty asks what he meant by that, he replied, "What's that saying? 'You always hurt the one you love...'"

* ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon]]''
: 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..." 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).

*''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon!]]''
: As the storm comes Misty collapses from exhaustion and Ash is shown in the next scene to be holding her by the waist as he helps her to the safety of the rock.
: Misty yells, "Be careful, Ash!" before he goes to save the {{p|Magnemite}}. Misty has done this on many occasions.

* ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''
: When Misty sees the monster behind Ash, she screams in fear it might hurt him. When Ash turns around, she yells at him to do something. Tracey is completely silent while all of this is happening.
: After Ash passes out from fear, Misty is shown kneeling by his side, watching him to make sure he's okay. Tracey is standing by the creature.

* ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''
: This entire episode alone serves as conclusive evidence that Misty not only likes Ash but possibly has developed a case of young love for him. [[Rudy]], the [[Trovita Island]] Gym Leader, has a case of "love at first sight" with Misty after she saves his sister, [[Mahri]]. After several advances from Rudy, Misty agrees to what is essentially an impromptu date with Rudy, leaving Ash and Tracey to themselves and later declines Rudy's invitation to stay help him in the gym.

: According to accounts of the original Japanese version, during the dance after the date, Rudy not only asked Misty to stay on the island, but to marry him. What is significant here is that Misty was actually considering his proposal, evidenced by the fact that she didn't refuse him outright. Throughout Ash's gym battle with Rudy, Misty is clearly torn between deciding which boy meant more to her, finally rooting for Ash in the end as {{AP|Squirtle}} is hit by a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Rudy's {{p|Starmie}}. Rudy, in shock mutters, "She wants ''him.''"

*''[[EP107|Charizard Chills]]''
: When Charizard was thrashing around wildly, Misty tried to run to Ash's aid, and was only held back by Tracey.
: When Misty finds out that Ash's hands were rubbed raw, she gave up her blanket so Ash's hands wouldn't get any worse.

*''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]''
: Every time that Tracey and Ash need attention Misty comes to Ash first or expresses more concern for Ash.

*''[[EP124|Snubbull Snobbery]]''
: Misty finds a star map, and Ash says, "I know where the stars are, Misty." Misty giggles and blushes after that remark.

*''[[EP170|A Better Pill To Swallow]]''
: When [[Old Man Shuckle]] gives Ash his medicine and the medicine explodes in Ash's stomach, Misty asks Old Man Shuckle what he gave Ash. He reveals that it was Pokémon medicine, and Misty gets really angry. She calms down once Ash wakes up and says, "You know what? My stomach-ache is all gone!"

* ''[[EP185|The Light Fantastic]]''
: When Misty introduces Ash to [[Nurse Joy]], Joy quickly exclaims, "What a little cutie!" referring to {{AP|Pikachu}} on Ash's head. But Misty and Brock mistakenly think she's referring to Ash. Brock is left completely shocked, but Misty not only gets shocked, but quickly develops the same jealous expression she displayed when Melody flirted with Ash.

* ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]''
: After [[Temacu]] expresses her thoughts about marriage to Brock, Misty says to Ash, "You and I will be married someday too." And Ash nods his head without realizing what she had just said, and then shouts "WHOOA?" She could have easily meant that they would be married someday to different people, not necessarily to each other. However, this is a dub edit. In the original, Misty said, "Looks like she fell for {{tt|Takeshi|Brock}} in first sight."

: While giving a pep talk to Brock about pursuing a possible relationship with Temacu, Misty says, "Take it from me, it's a lot easier to like someone who likes you than to like someone who doesn't." Brock then asks her, "How do you know?", after which Misty gasps, blushes, then coyly replies, "Well that's...what I've heard..." She is not referring to Brock (much to the dismay of {{s|Gym|GymShippers}}), since she is openly encouraging Brock to pursue Temacu.

* ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match]]''
: When Ash and Misty find out that they have to battle each other, both are extremely shocked, not wanting to battle against each other.

* ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]''
: When [[Macy]] first invites Ash out to lunch, Misty quickly cuts in between the two and comments that Ash is "booked". Later in the same scene, Macy questions Misty's right to interrupt in Ash's personal affairs when she's not his girlfriend. Misty looks quite unimpressed as Macy continues to flirt with Ash.

* ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]''
: The departure of Misty from the group is a very emotional affair. After all is said and done, Misty says to herself, "Well, Ash Ketchum, finally, I know how you feel about me."
:In this episode, Misty gives Ash her handkerchief. In Japanese, as well as many other eastern Asian cultures, giving a handkerchief is done to, "wipe away tears" when someone leaves your life (eg. a death, a breakup, or saying goodbye to a good friend). 
:Misty got her own good-bye song (which completely left Brock out). 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.

* ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''
: After Ash is saved from the {{p|Tauros}} by Bayleef, Misty and Tracey come to check on them. Ash comments that his Pokémon are stronger than ever, and Misty tells him that Pokémon start acting like their Trainers, and teases him about knowing a 'certain Trainer' that has been running wild, while winking towards Ash.
: When Max informs everybody that the nearest [[Battle Frontier]] facility is near Cerulean City, both Misty and Ash are delighted that they can travel together for a while, and she gives him a wink.

* ''[[Pokémon Live]]''
: In this show, Misty yearns to tell her feelings for Ash, but is too afraid to tell him.

====Various songs====
* ''[[Misty's Song]]'' is a song from the ''[[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]]'' soundtrack in which Misty sings that she loves Ash. She also says that she wants to confess her love to Ash. This is one of the strongest pieces of evidence for PokéShipping. Part of the song was played in the episode ''[[EP132|For Crying Out Loud]]'', although the canonization of the song is disputed.
**Ash does not have a song for Misty.
* On the ''[[Pokémon Christmas Bash]]'' CD there are two songs that show strong evidence of her feelings towards Ash.
**The first song on the CD entitled ''{{OBP|Pokémon Christmas Bash|song}}'' has the three main characters along with Team Rocket singing about what they want for Christmas. In Misty's stanza she sings "Hey Santa if you're really listenin' / My wishlist has only one thing / Just gimme one dance with Ash / At the Pokémon Christmas bash!".
**Another song on the CD called ''[[Under the Mistletoe]]'' has Misty singing about how she wants Ash to know her feeling for him and about how she wants to meet Ash under the mistletoe. On the other hand, Ash is singing about how he hopes to not to be caught under the mistletoe, although at first he doesn't move away- many fans claim this is Shipping from Ash's side. Near the song's end, after leaving Ash feeling paranoid about the mistletoe, Misty has got Ash under the mistletoe. Ash realizes this, freaks out, and runs off to eat more cookies while leaving Misty wondering what his problem is.
* ''[[Toi et Moi]]'', the Japanese ending song of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', references PokéShipping several times, all from Misty's perspective; in particular, the reference to saving the one she loves from drowning (as in the movie.)
* ''[[He Drives Me Crazy]]'' is a song from ''[[Totally Pokémon]]'' and ''[[Pokémon 3: The Ultimate Soundtrack]]'' that is sung from Misty's perspective, although it was not sung by [[Rachael Lillis]]. This song highlights the feelings that Misty has but does not understand. Many PokéShippers regard this song as having undeniable proof of Misty's feelings for Ash.
* ''[[It Takes Two]]'' is a song used to advertise {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. It states evidence from both sides on how they work together.

===Ash's hints===
Even PokéShippers will admit 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.

* ''[[EP012|Here Comes The Squirtle Squad]]''
: 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.

* ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''
: 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.

* ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''
: 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.

[[File:Ash Misty Hold Hands.png|250px|thumb|Ash and Misty holding hands in ''[[EP020|Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'']]
* ''[[EP020|Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''
: 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.

*''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''
: When Misty goes missing, Ash expresses extreme concern.

* ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''
: 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.

* ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''
: 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.

* ''[[EP090|In The Pink]]''
: When Ash wakes up after being thrown onto Pinkan Island, he immediately asks for Misty and Pikachu, leaving Tracey out completely.

* ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''
: 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.

*''[[EP101|Get Along Little Pokémon]]''
: 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.

*''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''
: 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.

*''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''
: [[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.

*''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]''
: 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]]).

*''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion]]''
: 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.'

*''[[EP132|For Crying Out Loud]]''
:When Misty, Pikachu, and [[Wilhelmina]]'s {{p|Marill}} are lost on an island and the others go to find them, Ash mutters, "Don't worry, we'll find Misty," not even mentioning Marill or his beloved Pikachu.

*''[[EP137|Foul Weather Friends]]''
: 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.

* ''[[EP216|Dueling Heroes]]''[[File:Misty special lure DP034.png|thumb|right|Ash displaying [[Misty's special lure]]]]
: 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.

* ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''
: 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.

*''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''
: 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.

*''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-hanger]]''
: 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.

*''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing]]''
:Ash is feeling down about losing but regains his confidence back when he receives gifts from his mother and his friends. He especially shows off Misty's special lure to Pikachu with a big smile on his face. It shows that Misty still cares about him, far away as he is, romantically or not.

* ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This]]''
: 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.

==Movie evidence==
*''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''
: When Mewtwo throws Ash back with its psychic powers, Misty quickly runs up to him and asks if he's okay (Brock only stays put). At the ending, there's a scene of Ash, Misty, and Brock sleeping in their sleeping bags. Ash and Misty are placed conveniently near each other, while Brock's position is relatively away from them. When Ash is petrified by the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Misty murmurs "Please no" while Pikachu attempts to revive him.

[[Image:PokeShipping 3.png|thumb|325px|right|Misty is annoyed as Melody flirts with Ash]]
* ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''
: In the Japanese trailer of the film, there was a scene that was animated specifically for that trailer. When Ash jumps down the cliff to save his Pikachu, Misty tries to follow him but Tracey holds her back. Misty looks completely distressed, as can be seen by her tears.
: P2K, otherwise known as 'The Power of One', or 'Revelation Lugia' is the conclusion to everything related to Misty's love for Ash in the Orange Season. In this movie, Misty gets competition in the form of Melody, the Festival Maiden of the Legend Ceremony. {{mov|Melody}}, upon greeting our heroes, immediately comes up to Ash and plants a kiss on his cheek, provoking a glare of jealousy from Misty. Also, after Melody's performance at the festival party, she quickly kneels in front of Ash and grabs hold of his arm, provoking Misty to gasp and growl again in subdued jealousy.
:Also, upon being called Ash's girlfriend, Misty blushes uncontrollably. When Misty is talking about how stubborn Ash is, Melody starts to tease her, saying how Misty will have to get used to it once her and Ash get married. Upon hearing this, Misty protests, but blushes as well.
:Near the end, Misty openly admits to Melody that Ash is "her burden" and goes off to rescue him in Melody's place, stating that he'll never be alone as he'll always have her, which Melody respects (due to the debating between her and Misty of Misty liking Ash throughout the movie).

* ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest|Pokémon 4Ever]]''
: When our heroes are running from a Pokémon, Misty trips along the way. Ash (and Brock) run back to help her. They get to safety, at least for a little while, and all of a sudden some Pokémon appear to attack them. Ash runs in front of her and spreads his arms out to protect Misty.
:When Ash and Sammy are saved by Celebi and come down, Misty shouts, "Ash is okay!", not even mentioning Sam, Celebi, or Pikachu.

* ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''
: When {{mov|Bianca}}/{{p|Latias}} kissed Ash on the dock, Misty was so shocked that not only did she develop the same jealous expression seen in the series, but she also dropped her {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}.

* ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''
:In the dubbed version of the movie, Ash makes a reference on Misty (not by name): on the last day of the comet's showing, Max is disappointed that he will have to part with Jirachi; Ash sits down with him by the river and reassures him that Jirachi will always will be in his heart, telling him "A good friend left me, and I miss her everyday. But I know we'll be friends forever.", obviously referring to Misty. However, this elements are only in the dubbed versions. In the original, Ash talks about a completely different thing, trying to explain to Max that a thousand years last like a single istant for Jirachi and its comet, and it would't be the same staying with him (he doesn't even mention missing a friend or similar things).

==Manga evidence==
===[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]===
In The Electric Tale of Pikachu {{pkmn|manga}}, Ash has a huge crush on {{Gary}}'s older sister, [[Daisy Oak|May]]. However, there are some cases where Ash shows attraction towards Misty. He finds her eye-catching, especially when he first sees her in her Gym uniform, which happens to be a very attractive swimsuit (in the original). Another event is during a scene in a hot spring in the second volume (though the scene was cut from the American release of the manga).

Just like in the anime, [[Rudy]] also proposed to Misty, and Ash shows great deal of bitterness toward it.

==Other hints==
[[Image:PokeShipping 4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A scan featuring Ash and Misty with Pokémon]]
For those already convinced about PokéShipping, there do exist events which suggest inconclusively, something along the lines of romance. But the difference between hints and proofs are that proofs are essentially ironclad and undebatable in contemporary debate, whereas hints are quite debatable, and are open to interpretation. The following is a listing of some that are considered to be debatable hints, all of which vary in strength and worth.

* ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]''
: Misty is surprisingly eager to start a Pokémon-sharing relationship with Ash in this episode and gets very upset when Ash refuses. Later, while Ash is charging up Pikachu's electric sacs, Misty again offers help to Ash and gets snubbed. She then grumbles and says, "What do I care..." and runs off. Misty somewhat admits by her behavior and dialogue that she's really interested in getting to know him better.

* ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''
: Misty, at the beginning of this episode, continually keeps mentioning how "romantic" the surroundings are. She continues to do this not only in this episode, but subsequent episodes as well.

* ''[[EP007|The Waterflowers of Cerulean City]]''
: At the outskirts of [[Cerulean City]], Misty attempts to dissuade Ash from going into the city by tempting him to go to [[Vermilion City]]. She does so by mentioning the "neat Pokémon, the yachts pulling into the harbor, and a spot way up on a hill where you can sit and watch a romantic sunset". The mentioning of a romantic scene subtly suggests what she might have intended for all along, especially with how many times she's talked about romantic things in previous episodes.

* ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown!]]''
: After Nurse Joy breaks up an argument between the two of them, she comments that they say when two people fight, they really care about each other; although Ash and Misty instantly reject the idea, they are both blushing slightly when they turn away from the other.

[[Image:PokeShipping 5.png‎|thumb|250px|right|Ash's ghost lifting Misty up in the air in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'']]
* ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''
: When Ash enters the tower alone to try and catch a Ghost Pokémon, and is subsequently briefly separated from his body, Misty is the first one of her and Brock to express concern about how long Ash and Pikachu are taking inside. When Ash hovers beside her in his ghost form and lifts her in the air, Misty is the only one who can hear him despite Brock standing only a foot or so away from her, potentially hinting at a closer bond between the two. Also, before Ash and Pikachu return to their bodies, Misty is visibly near to tears as she pleads for Ash to wake up, and blushes immensely when he wakes up and greets her.

* ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''
: Misty, unaware that Ash is disguised as a girl among the crowd and using the same girlish demeanor she used in "Ash Catches A Pokémon," dreamily admits to the group, "I wish Ash would've heard that story..." She openly is expressing a desire for Ash's presence.

: Also, during Ash's gym battle with [[Erika]], the girls in the crowd start acknowledging Ash's skill and how much more impressive he is than he looks, provoking Misty to smile with reassurance.

* ''[[EP035|The Legend of Dratini]]''
: At the beginning of the episode, Ash is marching and singing. Misty is right behind him and longingly stares at him until they reach the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] warden's house. After Ash sings out his last lines, Misty imitates his enthusiasm and sings her own lines as well. Of course, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

: Also, later in the episode, when Ash is about to dive in the water to grab the bomb that Team Rocket threw in there, Misty stops him, and says that it is too dangerous. Although this hint is under debate simply because it could be merely her worrying for Ash, (as a friend would do), she also sends down her Staryu to save Ash after he is down there for too long. And afterward, when he comes back up, Misty smiles and is thrilled that he is alive, with a blush apparent.

* ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''
: Misty goes into perhaps the most extreme fits of blushing in the history of the series, all provoked by a simple compliment from Ash about her skimpy stage outfit. No one blushes like that out of mere embarrassment. She clearly holds Ash's opinion of her in exclusive priority.

* ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]''
: As Jigglypuff begins singing in the woods, Ash and Brock are standing next to each other while Pikachu and Misty are sitting a couple feet away. After Jigglypuff is done singing, Brock and Pikachu are sprawled out asleep by themselves while Misty and Ash are slumped against each other. It might not have meant anything if the two were already standing by each other, in which case it would have just been convenient, but they weren't. Either they moved into this position because they are very comfortable with each other, or the director(s) might have just thrown this in to plant an idea. It is also interesting to note that when they wake up, Misty comments, "What a nice nap."

* ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''
: Before the performance, Ash says, "This is gonna be great! I can't wait to see Misty!" While watching the show, Ash says to Brock, "Misty's doing really good!"

: At the end of this episode, Ash tells Misty how amazing she was at her performance of the underwater play. Misty disproportionately calls Ash's comments "sweet talk" and reminds him of the bike he owes her, something she supposedly forgot about back on [[Cinnabar Island]].

* ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''
: Upon arriving at the Xanadu Nursery, Brock spies on a pretty girl behind the window, after which Ash comes to look and says he doesn't see a pretty girl. Misty then says, "Just turn around" and giggles, clearly addressing Ash. Ash then jokes about her hallucinating, then starts chuckling.

: Ash, finally spotting a {{p|Gloom}} behind the window, asks Brock if "he's getting 'misty' over a gloom," This causes Misty to pull Ash's mouth wide with her fingers and ask him what is he saying about her, mistaking Ash's 'misty' comment with herself. Both seem to be blushing in the midst of their playfulness.

* ''[[EP077|Fourth Round Rumble]]''
: While watching Ash's match on the grass field in the spectator stands with Brock, Misty becomes particularly vocal whenever Brock shows signs of attraction for Ash's current opponent [[Jeanette Fisher]], yelling at Brock to remember whose side he is meant to be on. She also feels sorry for Ash when his mother and Professor Oak show up to tell him that all of Pallet Town is now rooting for him, recognizing the increased pressure this will put Ash under.

* ''[[EP155|Forest Grumps]]''
:At the beginning of the episode, Ash and Misty are surprisingly close to one another while tending to their Pokémon. Brock on the other hand is away from them asleep behind a tree.
:Upon reunion, Ash and Misty exclaim each other's names in joy, with Brock totally ignored by Misty, while the camera focuses on their faces. What's interesting to note is how the scripting and animation seem to focus just on their reunion alone.

* ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''
: After losing a beach ball, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, and {{AP|Totodile}} begin arguing over whose fault it was. Not realizing that they're fighting, Ash sends them off to find the beach ball. When they run off eagerly to prove themselves, Ash comments, "See Misty, they get along just like we do." Misty, who knows that the Pokémon were fighting, then says, "I hope not," possibly suggesting that her relationship with Ash is of special importance to her.

* ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''
: When Ash finally arrives home after his travels in Hoenn, he finds Misty at his house. She makes a point of being there, specifically so that she could see Ash as soon as he arrived back from Hoenn even though she apparently has no idea how soon exactly he would be returning. For all she knew, she could have been expecting a wait for a long time.
: Azurill is a good excuse to go down there but it does not explain her behavior:
:*Why did she stay at Ash's mother's house, and not at Oak's laboratory?
:*Why was she so concerned about getting to see Ash as soon as he arrived?
:*How can her somewhat wistfully delivered line of how Ash is the same as always be explained?
:*Why couldn't she have simply delayed her trip down there until Ash had already arrived?

* ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''
: Ash considers Misty as a rival at times and, when given the chance, he likes showing off to impress her. In this special episode, Ash receives an invitation from [[Dr. Yung]]. Upon reaching the mansion of Dr. Yung, he is surprised to see Misty and Professor Oak there. As Misty proceeds on asking him why he is there, Ash waves the invitation in front of him in an attempt to show off, saying that he got invited because of his great skills as a trainer. Misty stays composed and shows her own invitation, telling him that she also got invited, which surprises Ash.
[[File:Misty Winking At Ash.png|thumb|250px|Misty winks at Ash while speaking to him]]

: When Dr. Yung asks Ash and Misty to battle, Ash quickly expresses his excitement only to be foiled by Misty. The Gym Leader reminds Ash of his manners and says "Ladies first!" while winking an eye at him.

: In order to save Professor Oak, Ash decides to sneak into the castle through underwater. He could have chosen May or Max to come with him, but he chose Misty.

[[File:Spurt Card Ash loves Misty.png‎|thumb|250px|Misty and Delia, featured on the Queen of Hearts Card in the tenth Japanese OP, ''[[Spurt!]]'']]
* ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]
: In the first ever opening theme song of the Pokémon anime, there is a scene where the Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}} are in a forest by a campfire. It's an interesting note to see Ash and Misty sitting very close to each other, while Brock is quite far from them, sitting on the other side.

* ''[[Spurt!]]''
: In the fifth and final opening theme song for the Japanese Advanced Generation Pokémon anime series, Misty was shown in a "Queen of Hearts" card together with [[Delia Ketchum]]. One could say the two girls on the card likely represent the more important females in Ash's life.

* ''[[Under the Mistletoe]]''
: This song includes hints from both. Ash sings about that he is happy tonight and Misty sings about she knows she will meet her true love under the mistletoe. Later during this song, Misty comments that she and Ash stand under the mistletoe. Also, both sing they want to tell something to [[Santa Claus|St. Nicholas]]. Finally, when they are both under the mistletoe, Ash runs off. However, being created by 4Kids and so by the dub, this song doesn't belong to any original part of the anime.

*Misty constantly yelled at and insulted Ash throughout the show, and is an example of the hiding of feelings for children of that age, however depending on how much older they have gotten since they had met, this may or may not be a very big clue.

*When Jigglypuff sings its song, Misty and Ash are often seen leaning against each other in their sleep.

* When Misty was part of the group, Ash was well aware of signs of romance between humans and Pokémon, even knowing if a girl was flirting with him (such as when he nervously ran away from Macy in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]''). After she left the group, Ash has shown signs of being oblivious to anything romantic taking place around him, as well as not knowing when a girl was interested in him.

==Alternate names==
PokéShipping, as with many of the more popular Ships, is known by a variety of different names. Following the emergence of PokéShipping from amongst these as the de-facto standard, the other names have become associated with certain groups within the PokéShipping fandom, or certain methods of Shipping. A prominent few are detailed below.

* '''GakiShipping''' - An early term coined around the same time as TwerpShipping, the name was originally meant to be descriptive of both Ash & Misty being ''gakis'' (Gaki being a somewhat rude way to refer to a child in Japanese), but has since evolved to describe the actual shipper, and is now used only in an insulting manner towards shippers (not necessarily just PokéShippers) who use flimsy evidence to support their position, or otherwise act childish, especially when referring to their supported 'ships.

* '''SatoKasu''' - The original (Japanese) term for the ship, using the standard Japanese naming method of combining the first 2 characters from each characters name, starting with the dominant character.

* '''SakaShipping''' - Another early name for the pairing, from '''Sa'''toshi and '''Ka'''sumi.

* '''BikeShipping''' - this name refers to Ash and Pikachu breaking Misty's bike, and is among the least used of all names for this pairing.

* '''SushiShipping''' - from Ka'''su'''mi and Sato'''shi'''. Combining portions of the characters' names to form words was common early on, but now is hardly ever used.

* '''TwerpShipping''' - The original (English) name for the ship, the term is currently used primarily only amongst users on TRHQ, and by those who primarily associate themselves with {{s|Rocket}}.

* '''AAML''' - Standing for Ash And Misty Love. Also '''AAMRN''', Ash And Misty Romance Novel.

==Trivia==
* They have battled against each other twice for the ownership of a Pokémon: {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Totodile}}.
* The two have shared similar victory poses in the series. Imitation is known to be the ultimate form of flattery.
* [[Ash's Pikachu]] took a liking to Misty very early in the show. {{an|Professor Oak}} and other characters have stated that Pokémon reflect the feelings of their Trainers.

PikachuXRaichu: /* Misty's hints */

{{ship}}
----
[[Image:Pokeship.jpg|250px|thumb|Ash and Misty in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}]]
'''PokéShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトカス''' ''SatoKasu'') is one of many names given to the couple of {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, supported by many fans of the [[Pokémon anime]]. In the early years, PokéShipping was the most popular Ship in the fandom; it still maintains a strong following to this day, along with {{s|Advance}}, {{s|Contest}}, and {{s|Pearl}}.
{{spoilers}}

==Anime evidence==
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 your point of view. In the original Japanese, the dialogue is read as a friendship between Ash and Misty with no romantic undertones however the writers in Japan have stated there is a mild crush going on but they are too young to realize their feelings. 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.

===Misty's hints===
Most other Shippers tend to agree that Misty has a crush on Ash. This evidence became most prevalent during the Orange Season, long before it became occasional to set upon Ash a girl who becomes infatuated with him.

* ''[[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]]
: When Samurai is searching for Ash, Misty runs toward him, shouting, "Ash!" sounding worried or scared.

*''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''
: Misty tells {{an|Daisy}} that she's back home because of Ash. The remark makes Daisy think Ash and Misty are a couple, which causes Misty to blush an intense shade of red. Also the episodes before this, while trying to get Ash to avoid coming to this city would suggest other locations, often stating because they are "so romantic".

*''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''
: While Ash and {{an|Brock}} fall into infatuation with [[Giselle]], Misty gets angry. Some say that she was jealous because of Ash, while others say that it was because of {{s|Gym|Brock}}.

*''[[EP012|Here Comes The Squirtle Squad]]''
: When Ash gets caught in an explosion to protect {{AP|Squirtle}}, she screams Ash's name, while Brock just stares.

*''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''
: When the ghost skulls attack them, Misty grabs Ash's arm and holds on to him tightly. Ash never seems to have any problem with this, if anything looking like he wanted to be comforted, suggesting that they both look to each other when they are scared and are not embarrassed by this.
: At the end of the episode, Misty invites Ash to dance. When Ash accepts, she takes his hand and they are then seen dancing together as the episode ends.

*''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''
: At the beginning of the episode, Ash, Brock and Misty are walking through the mist on their way to Lavender Town and Brock says they should probably hold hands. Ash and Misty eagerly reply, "Okay!" The two of them hold hands and continue walking, but Brock, who came up with the idea, mistook Pikachu's tail for Ash's hand; Only Ash and Misty are holding hands. Also, when Brock grabs Pikachu's tail because he can't see through the mist, Pikachu fires an electric attack out of fear and Misty grabs onto Ash.

:Later, when Misty thought that Ash had died, she is driven to almost tears, but is interrupted by Ash who comes back to life and she wipes her nose and blushes.

*''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''
: As Ash, Misty, and Brock follow a [[Venonat]] through the Fuchisa Gym, Ash runs into a invisible wall. When the group turns away, Ash runs into another invisible wall and and falls. When she sees this, Misty grabs Ash by the waist and helps him up. Her face expresses concern. After Ash has gotten up, Misty continues to hold on to his arm for a few moments. Brock is completely still while this is happening. Later, when Misty and Brock think Ash had died, Misty is driven almost to tears.

*''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''
: When Misty sees Ash lying unconscious on the ground, she panics and runs to his side, begging Pikachu to "do something."

*''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''
: When Misty, Brock, and Squirtle are digging through the rocks to save Ash, Misty, in the dub, says to herself "Listen Ash you'd better hold on, don't forget you still owe me a new bike!" Also in the original Japanese Misty says Ash had better not die on her. Suggesting that she needs to reassure herself that Ash is okay.

* ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''
: One of the clearest examples to fans of Misty's growing feelings towards Ash in the Indigo League, would be the fact that she completely forgot about her bike being destroyed by Ash, supposedly being the only reason for her traveling with him.

* ''[[EP069|Lights,Camera,Quack-tion]]''
: When {{an|Jigglypuff}} {{m|sing}}s its song, Misty is seen sleeping on top of Ash's back.

* ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''
: Near the end of the episode, with Brock having left Ash and Misty to travel alone, [[James]] says, "I think we may have captured a pair of romantic creatures in our little cage," after which [[Jessie]] swoons and {{MTR}} blurts out, "They're lovebirds!" Ash and Misty deny it all but blush.

: The idea of Ash and Misty as a couple becomes a sub-theme throughout the subsequent Orange League Season, culminating into events in the second movie.

* ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''
: [[Danny]], the [[Navel Island]] [[Gym Leader]], quickly picks up on the nature of Ash and Misty's relationship during one of their arguments and says, "I can see the two of you are pretty close." After Misty asks what he meant by that, he replied, "What's that saying? 'You always hurt the one you love...'"

* ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon]]''
: 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..." 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).

*''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon!]]''
: As the storm comes Misty collapses from exhaustion and Ash is shown in the next scene to be holding her by the waist as he helps her to the safety of the rock.
: Misty yells, "Be careful, Ash!" before he goes to save the {{p|Magnemite}}. Misty has done this on many occasions.

* ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''
: When Misty sees the monster behind Ash, she screams in fear it might hurt him. When Ash turns around, she yells at him to do something. Tracey is completely silent while all of this is happening.
: After Ash passes out from fear, Misty is shown kneeling by his side, watching him to make sure he's okay. Tracey is standing by the creature.

* ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''
: This entire episode alone serves as conclusive evidence that Misty not only likes Ash but possibly has developed a case of young love for him. [[Rudy]], the [[Trovita Island]] Gym Leader, has a case of "love at first sight" with Misty after she saves his sister, [[Mahri]]. After several advances from Rudy, Misty agrees to what is essentially an impromptu date with Rudy, leaving Ash and Tracey to themselves and later declines Rudy's invitation to stay help him in the gym.

: According to accounts of the original Japanese version, during the dance after the date, Rudy not only asked Misty to stay on the island, but to marry him. What is significant here is that Misty was actually considering his proposal, evidenced by the fact that she didn't refuse him outright. Throughout Ash's gym battle with Rudy, Misty is clearly torn between deciding which boy meant more to her, finally rooting for Ash in the end as {{AP|Squirtle}} is hit by a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Rudy's {{p|Starmie}}. Rudy, in shock mutters, "She wants ''him.''"

*''[[EP107|Charizard Chills]]''
: When Charizard was thrashing around wildly, Misty tried to run to Ash's aid, and was only held back by Tracey.
: When Misty finds out that Ash's hands were rubbed raw, she gave up her blanket so Ash's hands wouldn't get any worse.

*''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]''
: Every time that Tracey and Ash need attention Misty comes to Ash first or expresses more concern for Ash.

*''[[EP124|Snubbull Snobbery]]''
: Misty finds a star map, and Ash says, "I know where the stars are, Misty." Misty giggles and blushes after that remark.

*''[[EP170|A Better Pill To Swallow]]''
: When [[Old Man Shuckle]] gives Ash his medicine and the medicine explodes in Ash's stomach, Misty asks Old Man Shuckle what he gave Ash. He reveals that it was Pokémon medicine, and Misty gets really angry. She calms down once Ash wakes up and says, "You know what? My stomach-ache is all gone!"

* ''[[EP185|The Light Fantastic]]''
: When Misty introduces Ash to [[Nurse Joy]], Joy quickly exclaims, "What a little cutie!" referring to {{AP|Pikachu}} on Ash's head. But Misty and Brock mistakenly think she's referring to Ash. Brock is left completely shocked, but Misty not only gets shocked, but quickly develops the same jealous expression she displayed when Melody flirted with Ash.

* ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]''
: After [[Temacu]] expresses her thoughts about marriage to Brock, Misty says to Ash, "You and I will be married someday too." And Ash nods his head without realizing what she had just said, and then shouts "WHOOA?" She could have easily meant that they would be married someday to different people, not necessarily to each other. However, this is a dub edit. In the original, Misty said, "Looks like she fell for {{tt|Takeshi|Brock}} in first sight."

: While giving a pep talk to Brock about pursuing a possible relationship with Temacu, Misty says, "Take it from me, it's a lot easier to like someone who likes you than to like someone who doesn't." Brock then asks her, "How do you know?", after which Misty gasps, blushes, then coyly replies, "Well that's...what I've heard..." She is not referring to Brock (much to the dismay of {{s|Gym|GymShippers}}), since she is openly encouraging Brock to pursue Temacu.

* ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match]]''
: When Ash and Misty find out that they have to battle each other, both are extremely shocked, not wanting to battle against each other.

* ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]''
: When [[Macy]] first invites Ash out to lunch, Misty quickly cuts in between the two and comments that Ash is "booked". Later in the same scene, Macy questions Misty's right to interrupt in Ash's personal affairs when she's not his girlfriend. Misty looks quite unimpressed as Macy continues to flirt with Ash.

* ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]''
: The departure of Misty from the group is a very emotional affair. After all is said and done, Misty says to herself, "Well, Ash Ketchum, finally, I know how you feel about me."
:In this episode, Misty gives Ash her handkerchief. In Japanese, as well as many other eastern Asian cultures, giving a handkerchief is done to, "wipe away tears" when someone leaves your life (eg. a death, a breakup, or saying goodbye to a good friend). 
:Misty got her own good-bye song (which completely left Brock out). 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.

* ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''
: After Ash is saved from the {{p|Tauros}} by Bayleef, Misty and Tracey come to check on them. Ash comments that his Pokémon are stronger than ever, and Misty tells him that Pokémon start acting like their Trainers, and teases him about knowing a 'certain Trainer' that has been running wild, while winking towards Ash.
: When Max informs everybody that the nearest [[Battle Frontier]] facility is near Cerulean City, both Misty and Ash are delighted that they can travel together for a while, and she gives him a wink.

* ''[[Pokémon Live]]''
: In this show, Misty yearns to tell her feelings for Ash, but is too afraid to tell him.

====Various songs====
* ''[[Misty's Song]]'' is a song from the ''[[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]]'' soundtrack in which Misty sings that she loves Ash. She also says that she wants to confess her love to Ash. This is one of the strongest pieces of evidence for PokéShipping. Part of the song was played in the episode ''[[EP132|For Crying Out Loud]]'', although the canonization of the song is disputed.
**Ash does not have a song for Misty.
* On the ''[[Pokémon Christmas Bash]]'' CD there are two songs that show strong evidence of her feelings towards Ash.
**The first song on the CD entitled ''{{OBP|Pokémon Christmas Bash|song}}'' has the three main characters along with Team Rocket singing about what they want for Christmas. In Misty's stanza she sings "Hey Santa if you're really listenin' / My wishlist has only one thing / Just gimme one dance with Ash / At the Pokémon Christmas bash!".
**Another song on the CD called ''[[Under the Mistletoe]]'' has Misty singing about how she wants Ash to know her feeling for him and about how she wants to meet Ash under the mistletoe. On the other hand, Ash is singing about how he hopes to not to be caught under the mistletoe, although at first he doesn't move away- many fans claim this is Shipping from Ash's side. Near the song's end, after leaving Ash feeling paranoid about the mistletoe, Misty has got Ash under the mistletoe. Ash realizes this, freaks out, and runs off to eat more cookies while leaving Misty wondering what his problem is.
* ''[[Toi et Moi]]'', the Japanese ending song of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', references PokéShipping several times, all from Misty's perspective; in particular, the reference to saving the one she loves from drowning (as in the movie.)
* ''[[He Drives Me Crazy]]'' is a song from ''[[Totally Pokémon]]'' and ''[[Pokémon 3: The Ultimate Soundtrack]]'' that is sung from Misty's perspective, although it was not sung by [[Rachael Lillis]]. This song highlights the feelings that Misty has but does not understand. Many PokéShippers regard this song as having undeniable proof of Misty's feelings for Ash.
* ''[[It Takes Two]]'' is a song used to advertise {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. It states evidence from both sides on how they work together.

===Ash's hints===
Even PokéShippers will admit 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.

* ''[[EP012|Here Comes The Squirtle Squad]]''
: 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.

* ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''
: 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.

* ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''
: 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.

[[File:Ash Misty Hold Hands.png|250px|thumb|Ash and Misty holding hands in ''[[EP020|Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'']]
* ''[[EP020|Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''
: 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.

*''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''
: When Misty goes missing, Ash expresses extreme concern.

* ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''
: 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.

* ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''
: 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.

* ''[[EP090|In The Pink]]''
: When Ash wakes up after being thrown onto Pinkan Island, he immediately asks for Misty and Pikachu, leaving Tracey out completely.

* ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''
: 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.

*''[[EP101|Get Along Little Pokémon]]''
: 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.

*''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''
: 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.

*''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''
: [[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.

*''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]''
: 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]]).

*''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion]]''
: 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.'

*''[[EP132|For Crying Out Loud]]''
:When Misty, Pikachu, and [[Wilhelmina]]'s {{p|Marill}} are lost on an island and the others go to find them, Ash mutters, "Don't worry, we'll find Misty," not even mentioning Marill or his beloved Pikachu.

*''[[EP137|Foul Weather Friends]]''
: 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.

* ''[[EP216|Dueling Heroes]]''[[File:Misty special lure DP034.png|thumb|right|Ash displaying [[Misty's special lure]]]]
: 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.

* ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''
: 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.

*''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''
: 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.

*''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-hanger]]''
: 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.

*''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing]]''
:Ash is feeling down about losing but regains his confidence back when he receives gifts from his mother and his friends. He especially shows off Misty's special lure to Pikachu with a big smile on his face. It shows that Misty still cares about him, far away as he is, romantically or not.

* ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This]]''
: 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.

==Movie evidence==
*''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''
: When Mewtwo throws Ash back with its psychic powers, Misty quickly runs up to him and asks if he's okay (Brock only stays put). At the ending, there's a scene of Ash, Misty, and Brock sleeping in their sleeping bags. Ash and Misty are placed conveniently near each other, while Brock's position is relatively away from them. When Ash is petrified by the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Misty murmurs "Please no" while Pikachu attempts to revive him.

[[Image:PokeShipping 3.png|thumb|325px|right|Misty is annoyed as Melody flirts with Ash]]
* ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''
: In the Japanese trailer of the film, there was a scene that was animated specifically for that trailer. When Ash jumps down the cliff to save his Pikachu, Misty tries to follow him but Tracey holds her back. Misty looks completely distressed, as can be seen by her tears.
: P2K, otherwise known as 'The Power of One', or 'Revelation Lugia' is the conclusion to everything related to Misty's love for Ash in the Orange Season. In this movie, Misty gets competition in the form of Melody, the Festival Maiden of the Legend Ceremony. {{mov|Melody}}, upon greeting our heroes, immediately comes up to Ash and plants a kiss on his cheek, provoking a glare of jealousy from Misty. Also, after Melody's performance at the festival party, she quickly kneels in front of Ash and grabs hold of his arm, provoking Misty to gasp and growl again in subdued jealousy.
:Also, upon being called Ash's girlfriend, Misty blushes uncontrollably. When Misty is talking about how stubborn Ash is, Melody starts to tease her, saying how Misty will have to get used to it once her and Ash get married. Upon hearing this, Misty protests, but blushes as well.
:Near the end, Misty openly admits to Melody that Ash is "her burden" and goes off to rescue him in Melody's place, stating that he'll never be alone as he'll always have her, which Melody respects (due to the debating between her and Misty of Misty liking Ash throughout the movie).

* ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest|Pokémon 4Ever]]''
: When our heroes are running from a Pokémon, Misty trips along the way. Ash (and Brock) run back to help her. They get to safety, at least for a little while, and all of a sudden some Pokémon appear to attack them. Ash runs in front of her and spreads his arms out to protect Misty.
:When Ash and Sammy are saved by Celebi and come down, Misty shouts, "Ash is okay!", not even mentioning Sam, Celebi, or Pikachu.

* ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''
: When {{mov|Bianca}}/{{p|Latias}} kissed Ash on the dock, Misty was so shocked that not only did she develop the same jealous expression seen in the series, but she also dropped her {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}.

* ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''
:On the last day of the comet's showing, Max is disappointed that he will have to part with Jirachi. Ash sits down with him by the river and reassures him that Jirachi will always will be in his heart. Ash tells him, "A good friend left me, and I miss her everyday. But I know we'll be friends forever." Many people would think this would be Misty. However this is in the dub only and can be argued. In the original, he only implies that he had many friends he needed to say goodbye to, not particularly a ''her''.
:In the Spanish language version, {{Ash}} says, "Sabes, yo extraño mucho a mi mejor amiga." It means ''I really miss my best friend'' (''amiga'' meaning a female friend, as opposed to ''amigo'', a male friend) He could very well be referring to Misty.

==Manga evidence==
===[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]===
In The Electric Tale of Pikachu {{pkmn|manga}}, Ash has a huge crush on {{Gary}}'s older sister, [[Daisy Oak|May]]. However, there are some cases where Ash shows attraction towards Misty. He finds her eye-catching, especially when he first sees her in her Gym uniform, which happens to be a very attractive swimsuit (in the original). Another event is during a scene in a hot spring in the second volume (though the scene was cut from the American release of the manga).

Just like in the anime, [[Rudy]] also proposed to Misty, and Ash shows great deal of bitterness toward it.

==Other hints==
[[Image:PokeShipping 4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A scan featuring Ash and Misty with Pokémon]]
For those already convinced about PokéShipping, there do exist events which suggest inconclusively, something along the lines of romance. But the difference between hints and proofs are that proofs are essentially ironclad and undebatable in contemporary debate, whereas hints are quite debatable, and are open to interpretation. The following is a listing of some that are considered to be debatable hints, all of which vary in strength and worth.

* ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]''
: Misty is surprisingly eager to start a Pokémon-sharing relationship with Ash in this episode and gets very upset when Ash refuses. Later, while Ash is charging up Pikachu's electric sacs, Misty again offers help to Ash and gets snubbed. She then grumbles and says, "What do I care..." and runs off. Misty somewhat admits by her behavior and dialogue that she's really interested in getting to know him better.

* ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''
: Misty, at the beginning of this episode, continually keeps mentioning how "romantic" the surroundings are. She continues to do this not only in this episode, but subsequent episodes as well.

* ''[[EP007|The Waterflowers of Cerulean City]]''
: At the outskirts of [[Cerulean City]], Misty attempts to dissuade Ash from going into the city by tempting him to go to [[Vermilion City]]. She does so by mentioning the "neat Pokémon, the yachts pulling into the harbor, and a spot way up on a hill where you can sit and watch a romantic sunset". The mentioning of a romantic scene subtly suggests what she might have intended for all along, especially with how many times she's talked about romantic things in previous episodes.

* ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown!]]''
: After Nurse Joy breaks up an argument between the two of them, she comments that they say when two people fight, they really care about each other; although Ash and Misty instantly reject the idea, they are both blushing slightly when they turn away from the other.

[[Image:PokeShipping 5.png‎|thumb|250px|right|Ash's ghost lifting Misty up in the air in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'']]
* ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''
: When Ash enters the tower alone to try and catch a Ghost Pokémon, and is subsequently briefly separated from his body, Misty is the first one of her and Brock to express concern about how long Ash and Pikachu are taking inside. When Ash hovers beside her in his ghost form and lifts her in the air, Misty is the only one who can hear him despite Brock standing only a foot or so away from her, potentially hinting at a closer bond between the two. Also, before Ash and Pikachu return to their bodies, Misty is visibly near to tears as she pleads for Ash to wake up, and blushes immensely when he wakes up and greets her.

* ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''
: Misty, unaware that Ash is disguised as a girl among the crowd and using the same girlish demeanor she used in "Ash Catches A Pokémon," dreamily admits to the group, "I wish Ash would've heard that story..." She openly is expressing a desire for Ash's presence.

: Also, during Ash's gym battle with [[Erika]], the girls in the crowd start acknowledging Ash's skill and how much more impressive he is than he looks, provoking Misty to smile with reassurance.

* ''[[EP035|The Legend of Dratini]]''
: At the beginning of the episode, Ash is marching and singing. Misty is right behind him and longingly stares at him until they reach the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] warden's house. After Ash sings out his last lines, Misty imitates his enthusiasm and sings her own lines as well. Of course, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

: Also, later in the episode, when Ash is about to dive in the water to grab the bomb that Team Rocket threw in there, Misty stops him, and says that it is too dangerous. Although this hint is under debate simply because it could be merely her worrying for Ash, (as a friend would do), she also sends down her Staryu to save Ash after he is down there for too long. And afterward, when he comes back up, Misty smiles and is thrilled that he is alive, with a blush apparent.

* ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''
: Misty goes into perhaps the most extreme fits of blushing in the history of the series, all provoked by a simple compliment from Ash about her skimpy stage outfit. No one blushes like that out of mere embarrassment. She clearly holds Ash's opinion of her in exclusive priority.

* ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]''
: As Jigglypuff begins singing in the woods, Ash and Brock are standing next to each other while Pikachu and Misty are sitting a couple feet away. After Jigglypuff is done singing, Brock and Pikachu are sprawled out asleep by themselves while Misty and Ash are slumped against each other. It might not have meant anything if the two were already standing by each other, in which case it would have just been convenient, but they weren't. Either they moved into this position because they are very comfortable with each other, or the director(s) might have just thrown this in to plant an idea. It is also interesting to note that when they wake up, Misty comments, "What a nice nap."

* ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''
: Before the performance, Ash says, "This is gonna be great! I can't wait to see Misty!" While watching the show, Ash says to Brock, "Misty's doing really good!"

: At the end of this episode, Ash tells Misty how amazing she was at her performance of the underwater play. Misty disproportionately calls Ash's comments "sweet talk" and reminds him of the bike he owes her, something she supposedly forgot about back on [[Cinnabar Island]].

* ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''
: Upon arriving at the Xanadu Nursery, Brock spies on a pretty girl behind the window, after which Ash comes to look and says he doesn't see a pretty girl. Misty then says, "Just turn around" and giggles, clearly addressing Ash. Ash then jokes about her hallucinating, then starts chuckling.

: Ash, finally spotting a {{p|Gloom}} behind the window, asks Brock if "he's getting 'misty' over a gloom," This causes Misty to pull Ash's mouth wide with her fingers and ask him what is he saying about her, mistaking Ash's 'misty' comment with herself. Both seem to be blushing in the midst of their playfulness.

* ''[[EP077|Fourth Round Rumble]]''
: While watching Ash's match on the grass field in the spectator stands with Brock, Misty becomes particularly vocal whenever Brock shows signs of attraction for Ash's current opponent [[Jeanette Fisher]], yelling at Brock to remember whose side he is meant to be on. She also feels sorry for Ash when his mother and Professor Oak show up to tell him that all of Pallet Town is now rooting for him, recognizing the increased pressure this will put Ash under.

* ''[[EP155|Forest Grumps]]''
:At the beginning of the episode, Ash and Misty are surprisingly close to one another while tending to their Pokémon. Brock on the other hand is away from them asleep behind a tree.
:Upon reunion, Ash and Misty exclaim each other's names in joy, with Brock totally ignored by Misty, while the camera focuses on their faces. What's interesting to note is how the scripting and animation seem to focus just on their reunion alone.

* ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''
: After losing a beach ball, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, and {{AP|Totodile}} begin arguing over whose fault it was. Not realizing that they're fighting, Ash sends them off to find the beach ball. When they run off eagerly to prove themselves, Ash comments, "See Misty, they get along just like we do." Misty, who knows that the Pokémon were fighting, then says, "I hope not," possibly suggesting that her relationship with Ash is of special importance to her.

* ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''
: When Ash finally arrives home after his travels in Hoenn, he finds Misty at his house. She makes a point of being there, specifically so that she could see Ash as soon as he arrived back from Hoenn even though she apparently has no idea how soon exactly he would be returning. For all she knew, she could have been expecting a wait spanning multiple weeks.
: Azurill is a good excuse to go down there but it does not explain her behavior:
:*Why did she stay at Ash's mother's house, and not at Oak's laboratory?
:*Why was she waiting at Ash's mother's house for days and days for Ash's arrival, especially given that they didn't know exactly how long Ash would take to return?
:*Why was she so concerned about getting to see Ash as soon as he arrived?
:*How can her somewhat wistfully delivered line of how Ash is the same as always be explained?
:*Why couldn't she have simply delayed her trip down there until Ash had already arrived?

* ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''
: Ash considers Misty as a rival at times and, when given the chance, he likes showing off to impress her. In this special episode, Ash receives an invitation from [[Dr. Yung]]. Upon reaching the mansion of Dr. Yung, he is surprised to see Misty and Professor Oak there. As Misty proceeds on asking him why he is there, Ash waves the invitation in front of him in an attempt to show off, saying that he got invited because of his great skills as a trainer. Misty stays composed and shows her own invitation, telling him that she also got invited, which surprises Ash.

: When Dr. Yung asks Ash and Misty to battle, Ash quickly expresses his excitement only to be foiled by Misty. The Gym Leader reminds Ash of his manners and says "Ladies first!" while winking an eye at him.

: In order to save Professor Oak, Ash decides to sneak into the castle through underwater. He could have chosen May or Max to come with him, but he chose Misty.

[[File:Spurt Card Ash loves Misty.png‎|thumb|250px|Misty and Delia, featured on the Queen of Hearts Card in the tenth Japanese OP, ''[[Spurt!]]'']]
* ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]
: In the first ever opening theme song of the Pokémon anime, there is a scene where the Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}} are in a forest by a campfire. It's an interesting note to see Ash and Misty sitting very close to each other, while Brock is quite far from them, sitting on the other side.

* ''[[Spurt!]]''
: In the fifth and final opening theme song for the Japanese Advanced Generation Pokémon anime series, Misty was shown in a "Queen of Hearts" card together with [[Delia Ketchum]]. One could say the two girls on the card likely represent the more important females in Ash's life.

* ''[[Under the Mistletoe]]''
: This song includes hints from both. Ash sings about that he is happy tonight and Misty sings about she knows she will meet her true love under the mistletoe. Later during this song, Misty comments that she and Ash stand under the mistletoe. Also, both sing they want to tell something to [[Santa Claus|St. Nicholas]]. However, when they are both under the mistletoe Ash runs off.

*Misty constantly yelled at and insulted Ash throughout the show, and is an example of the hiding of feelings for children of that age, however depending on how much older they have gotten since they had met, this may or may not be a very big clue.

*Every time that Ash has a near-death-experience or Misty thinks that Ash is dead, she expresses extreme anguish, almost to the extent of sobbing.

*When Jigglypuff sings its song, Misty and Ash are often seen leaning against each other in their sleep.

*If Ash is in danger, Misty will be very worried for Ash, more than other characters. Ash will also be very concerned for Misty if she's in any kind of danger.

* When Misty was part of the group, Ash was well aware of signs of romance between humans and Pokémon, even knowing if a girl was flirting with him (such as when he nervously ran away from Macy in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]''). After she left the group, Ash has shown signs of being oblivious to anything romantic taking place around him, as well as not knowing when a girl was interested in him.

==Alternate names==
PokéShipping, as with many of the more popular Ships, is known by a variety of different names. Following the emergence of PokéShipping from amongst these as the de-facto standard, the other names have become associated with certain groups within the PokéShipping fandom, or certain methods of Shipping. A prominent few are detailed below.

* '''GakiShipping''' - An early term coined around the same time as TwerpShipping, the name was originally meant to be descriptive of both Ash & Misty being ''gakis'' (Gaki being a somewhat rude way to refer to a child in Japanese), but has since evolved to describe the actual shipper, and is now used only in an insulting manner towards shippers (not necessarily just PokéShippers) who use flimsy evidence to support their position, or otherwise act childish, especially when referring to their supported 'ships.

* '''SatoKasu''' - The original (Japanese) term for the ship, using the standard Japanese naming method of combining the first 2 characters from each characters name, starting with the dominant character.

* '''SakaShipping''' - Another early name for the pairing, from '''Sa'''toshi and '''Ka'''sumi.

* '''BikeShipping''' - this name refers to Ash and Pikachu breaking Misty's bike, and is among the least used of all names for this pairing.

* '''SushiShipping''' - from Ka'''su'''mi and Sato'''shi'''. Combining portions of the characters' names to form words was common early on, but now is hardly ever used.

* '''TwerpShipping''' - The original (English) name for the ship, the term is currently used primarily only amongst users on TRHQ, and by those who primarily associate themselves with {{s|Rocket}}.

* '''AAML''' - Standing for Ash And Misty Love. Also '''AAMRN''', Ash And Misty Romance Novel.

==Trivia==
* They have battled against each other twice for the ownership of a Pokémon: {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Totodile}}.
* The two have shared similar victory poses in the series. Imitation is known to be the ultimate form of flattery.
* [[Ash's Pikachu]] took a liking to Misty very early in the show. {{an|Professor Oak}} and other characters have stated that Pokémon reflect the feelings of their Trainers.

PikachuXRaichu: /* Misty's hints */

FlowerShipping is the belief that {{an|Misty}} and [[Mikey]] belong in a romantic relationship.

== Evidence ==

== Misty's hints ==

*After Mikey gives her the flower, she smiles and watches him and [[Eevee brothers|his brothers]].
*In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Misty wonders if Mikey has a crush on her.
*Misty encourages Mikey to tell his brothers that he doesn't want to evolve his Eevee.

'''Victory Road''' (Japanese: '''チャンピオンロード''' ''Champion Road'') is the final journey one must take before they can face the [[Elite Four]]. Unlike previous Victory Roads, this one involves traversing both inside and outside the cave. The player can slide down the hillsides to access different portions of the cave and progress further.

After defeating [[Team Plasma]] at the {{un|Pokémon League}} and talking to [[Cheren]] on {{rt|5|Unova}}, he will stay here, where he can be [[rematch]]ed. He can be found in the topmost cave section, right before the exit to the Pokémon League.

==Map description==
These steep slopes are the last obstacle before the {{un|Pokémon League}}!

==Geography==

==Variable scoring==
Different tracks are added to the background theme one by one as the player progresses through the badge-check gates, resulting in the complete Victory Road theme once the player arrives at the entrance of the Victory Road cave system.

'''Explosion''' (Japanese '''だいばくはつ''' ''Giant Explosion'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is currently the most powerful move in terms of its base power.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Explosion has a power of 170 in Generation I.

Explosion does damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its power is listed as 170, the target's {{stat|Defense}} will be halved when damage from this attack is calculated, giving it an effective power of 340. The game rounds up to avoid infinite damage, so Explosion will then effectively have a power of 170 if used against a target with a Defense value of 1.

If Explosion breaks a target's {{m|Substitute}}, the user will not faint, though its image will be replaced by a blank image. Additionally, if the user of Explosion had a Substitute at the time of such a situation, uses Substitute later, or switches out, its regular image will once again become visible.

If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

In Stadium, if Explosion breaks a target's Substitute, the user will faint. The base power listed in Stadium is the one after halving Defense, ie. 340.

===Generation II===
Explosion's base power was [[List of modified moves|changed]] to the current 250. The Defense-halving step still applies, giving it an effective power of 500.

If Explosion is used against a {{m|Substitute}}, a {{t|Ghost}} type, or a Pokémon that has used {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}}, the user will still faint.

Unlike in the previous game, Stadium 2 lists Explosion's base power before halving Defense.

===Generations III and IV===
Explosion cannot be used when a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Damp}} is on the field.

===Generation V===
Explosion no longer halves the target's Defense.

==={{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon}}===
Explosion does not cause the user to faint, but instead cuts its HP in half, and affects all Pokémon, items, and walls within 2 tiles of the user, reducing HP by half on teammates, by 80 on hostile Pokémon, and destroying all walls, items, and [[dungeon tiles|special tiles]]. Explosion cannot be used in {{weather|rain}} or on any floor with a Pokémon with the ability {{a|Damp}}.

==Trivia==
