004. Ash & Misty





This is the fourth submission for my attempt at looneytunerian's Pokeshipping 100 Theme Challenge.

4. Ash & Misty
Ash & Misty have a long-standing history together that all started when Misty fished him out of the water with Pikachu back in 1997 (1998 for us American fans) and continued on until 2007 when Misty, through her one-of-a-kind fishing lure, was last mentioned. Over those ten or so years, they've had many battles between each other, arguments that were sparked on the silliest pretenses, moments that made both laugh as well as cry, and overall a friendship that will last a lifetime.
The reason I chose to draw Ash & Misty battling instead of something more romantic is because I think that one thing both of them would enjoy when spending time together would be a battle. Ash is a trainer working on going through every league he comes across and Misty is a gym leader. They're pretty much in their element when it comes to battles. Granted, it's also to do with the focus of the show being of the action-adventure genre, but that's a secondary point.

So, you can call me a failure at this whole theme challenge seeing as I've so far drawn absolutely no 'pokeshipping' kind of pictures. ^_^;; I swear I'm not crap when it comes to romance! I love the whole idea and everything! I just... decided to draw a more general interpretation? XD I promise the other ones will be more geared towards the romance, for the most part. If I end up looking like a complete liar when I'm over the halfway mark in the challenge list, then you can come knock on my door with pitchforks and torches.

And now, with 004 out of the way, I can finally be sporadic with which theme to go to next! Hope you like 'em! :)
