•One episode preview for Pokemon threw up a storm in the shipping fandom by focusing almost entirely on a romantic scene between Tracey and Misty, despite the latter's long-established crush on the protagonist. As it happened, the whole scene was just made up by one of Misty's sisters who thought that Tracey would made a handsome prince for her upcoming water ballet.
◦Then they did it again in the preview for the next episode both
characters appeared in. This time was a blushing scene that turned out to just be over a photograph of the whole group in Team Rocket's latest scheme. It didn't help that Misty was holding her new baby Pokemon that she had received from Tracey.
◦While many of Pokemon's pairings are full of shiptease, Appealshipping (Zoey/Dawn) takes the cake. Their scenes together are just tinged with touchy-feely-blushy moments.
◦How about the time Team Rocket teased Ash and Misty on their airship? No? I'll shut up.
◦Speaking of Team Rocket, Jessie and James are a total shiptease. Especially in the episode Training Daze where James falls awkwardly on top of Jessie and makes her blush◊.
◦May and Drew have their moments. Plenty of them. Including one scene where he hands her a rose after she wins a Contest... before saying that the rose is for May's Beautifly, not her. Mean? Yes. Complete ship tease? Also yes.
◦Ash/May has had a lot of Ship Tease, too. Pokemon Ranger and The Temple Of The Sea is one of the Advanceshippers' favorites for obvious reasons.
Back in the early days, there was Ash/Misty teasing going on since about the eighth episode. One of the most prominent examples is when the end of summer festival episode (the Maiden of the Rock to be precise). Ash sees Misty in a kimono, with her hair down, and his reaction could not have been more Shoujo...
◦In general there as been a lot of ship teasing of Ash and either May, Misty, or Dawn. People tend to forget that over the years, Ash has become more and more of a Chaste Hero so in Ship teasing is just that, teasing.
