Pokeshipping Week 2024

Day 5: Nervous Ash

Following the letter handover, Ash seems to have cracked it open to see what Misty wrote for him. And by the looks of it, there's a lot to take in, emotionally speaking. Don't panic, Ash! You have the whole rest of summer vacation to think things through and give her the perfect response! Take your time, brainstorm it, and have it ready at the start of the new semester, bud. 👍

E si inizia con la Pokeshipping week! Primo giorno, ho scelto #Love letter

Misty è in piscina con Psyduck, quando un vecchio amico viene a trovarla. Indovinate chi? E porta con sé una lettera di un certo allenatore che deve essere consegnata a Misty.

Sooo happy pokeshipping week!!!! I made this drawing for a friend, so this wasn't exactly made with any prompt in my mind, but it kinda fits in a few, like height difference, or maybe vacation??

Anyways, I have a few drawings planned for the next few days which fits in some prompts perfectly, really excited to share them here!!! I'm also very excited to see art and read ffns!!!

POKESHIPPING WEEK 2024!

It's that time again, pokeshippers!

Last year, we announced that the format of Pokeshipping Week - one theme per day - was getting retired. We also said that we'd still put on a celebration of some kind going forward. Well, the time is here, and I'm happy to announce that we are planning a pokeshipping zine...next year!

If you'll forgive the bait-and-switch there, we have seriously talked about doing a zine, but time got away from us this summer. So, while we do hope to tackle that undertaking in 2025, for this year, we're planning what you might call an open Pokeshipping Week!

How does it work, you ask? Simple: over the years, you all have submitted a lot of potential themes for Pokeshipping Week. For every seven that got chosen each year, plenty were left behind. Well, now you can fill November 1 to 7 with art, fics, AMVs, GIFs, graphics, etc., all about our favorite Poke-couple, using any seven you'd like from the unused themes list.

Any and all contributions are welcome, and if they're tagged #pokeshipping week 2024, we'll reblog them here and on the main @pokeshipping blog. Besides Tumblr, we’ll keep our eyes out for the tag on Twitter and DeviantART for artwork, for fanfics on FF.Net and AO3, and for AMVs on YouTube (no NSFW, please).

The full list of unused themes (from years 2020 through 2023) is below the "Read More" break. Use, combine, and create as your heart desires, and we'll see you November 1!

Pokeshipping Week 2024

Prompt 7: Celebrating

Ash was avoiding her.

He had been the one to invite her. Hell, he had paid for her plane ticket! And yet here Misty was, all dressed up, sitting by her lonesome, no Ash or Pikachu in sight.

Okay, maybe she wasn’t alone, alone. Ash’s old local friends from the Pokemon School were all there as well, milling around, dancing, snacking on hors d'oeuvres and sipping on champagne. Lana had insisted she join them at their table, and she had even danced with Kiawe and Mallow for a while after dinner.

The professors and Lei were also there, it had been Lei’s first Manalo Conference appearance, and even though he lost in the first round of the single battles, his parents were so proud, they had been showing him off to everyone all night, much to the kid’s embarrassment.

But yet no Champion in sight.

She knew he was there. She’d seen him bee-bopping around the banquet hall throughout the night, just not anywhere near her, apparently.

She didn’t think he was upset at her or anything. He’d grinned and waved at her after his battle with Hau, who had won the League this year. Their battle had been close, but Ash managed to win it and keep his title for the tenth year in a row. A decade of being the Alola Champion. The whole reason this party was happening at all.

He had been rushed off to talk with the press, so she went back to her hotel to get ready, naively assuming Ash had any interest in spending some time with her during the celebration after insisting she be there.

She was just polishing off her third flute of champagne when a yellow flash out of the corner of her eye caught her attention. She perked up for a moment and scanned the room to try to catch it again, when a soft, familiar whisper filled her ear.

“Meet me outside in five?” Ash asked, sending an embarrassing little shiver up her spine, but by the time she spun around to face him, he had made his way back into the crowd.

~*~

Ash’s back was to her as he casually leaned against the balcony railing, backdropped by the twinkling, tropical, Alola night sky, Pikachu mysteriously missing. Someone had apparently convinced him to put on some nice clothes and forced a comb through his messy hair earlier in the evening, but he had managed to scruff himself back up since then, probably doing something stupid and noble and Ash-like.

He was beautiful.

“I’m not avoiding you,” he told her without turning around.

Misty raised a skeptical eyebrow. “Oh yeah? Could’ve fooled me.”

He turned around finally at that and gave her a crooked little smile. “I’m glad you’re here, Mist.”

Her heart did that stupid thing it always did when he called her that damn nickname, but she joined him at the railing and looked out into the ocean. “You gave me no choice, Ash,” she reminded him. He chuckled at that, but it sounded hollow. “You okay?” she asked. He shrugged.

“Yeah. I mean, I think so. It’s just been a weird day.” He sighed. “I thought this was going to be it,” he admitted, quietly.

Misty blinked in surprise. “It? What do you mean? Like, your last year as Champion?”

Ash nodded, a wry smile on his lips. “Hau did amazing, but Gladion almost had me last year. If he wasn’t challenging the Hoenn League right now, I think he would have taken me out once and for all.”

She studied his profile, looking for a sign in his expression to figure out how he felt about that, but he was intentionally, very carefully neutral.

At her silence, he sighed heavily again. “I love Alola. You know I do. This place is my home away from home. But it’s, you know, still not home like Kanto is home.” He paused for a moment, and ran his hand through his hair before turning to face her again and smirking. “I know Lance is planning to separate the Kanto and Johto Leagues, finally. There will be a whole new batch of Elite 4 positions opening up, and from what I’ve heard, you’re on the short list for one of them.”

“How did you hear about that?” Misty balked. “Lance said that information hasn’t left the Indigo League yet!”

“I have my ways,” Ash said with a grin, and Misty rolled her eyes. Lance was such a blabbermouth. “Lance is going to stick with Johto. You’ll need a new Kanto Champion, too.”

Misty perked up at that, realizing what Ash was getting at with a traitorous little flicker of hope in her stomach. “You want to compete to be the Kanto Champion?”

Ash shrugged a little shyly. “I mean, that had kinda been the idea. I’m not sure I have it in me to be Champion of both Kanto and Alola though. I’m not as young as I used to be.”

“Ash, you’re twenty-two,” Misty reminded him with a snort.

“Exactly! ” he laughed, but his expression quickly turned just a bit somber. “I guess I was just ready to, you know, have an excuse to spend more time at home… Around my favorite people.”

It was hard to tell in the dark, but she was pretty sure he was blushing. She tried not to think too much about that. “Favorite people, huh?” she prompted, bumping into his shoulder.

He smirked. “Yeah. My mom, Brock Tracy… Gary.” He drawled, and she bit back her smile to glare at him, unimpressed, until he finally cracked with a long, loud laugh. “And you, of course!”

“That’s what I thought,” she said haughtily, and after a beat, they both broke into giddy laughter. Once they finally settled down, Misty sighed, and summoning up her courage, she leaned over to rest her head on his shoulder, feeling him tense up at the motion. She forced herself not to think too much about that, either. “It’ll take Lance a while to get everything sorted out, you know. It might not be until next year.”

She felt him hum in acknowledgment more than she heard it, her heart speeding up as she felt his arm drape around her shoulders, and his head gently falling into a rest against her’s.

“Yeah,” he agreed, his voice just barely above a whisper. “I’ve already waited this long. What’s one more year?”

Just a quick picture I didn’t quite get to finish that’s for Pokeshipping Week 2024. I started a different picture but, as usual, I’m so darn slow so I crapped this out real quick instead. Maybe I’ll be able to finish the other one soon. I have no concept of multitasking. XD

4 giorno Pokeshipping week: A day in the life 

Ash, Misty e Brock prendono una pausa tra un viaggio e l'altro. Un ritaglio della loro quotidianità, tra lotte e palestre. Dopo aver trovato dei nuovi Pokemon Ash e Misty si ritrovano a parlarne insieme delle loro qualità, mentre Brock li osserva come un fratello maggiore.

Avevo dedicato troppe ore a questo disegno continuando a modificarlo e modificarlo, e infine l'avevo abbandonato nel mio archivio. Se non lo pubblico adesso finisco per modificarlo ancora 😅

Pokeshipping Week 2024

Day 1: Cooking Disaster

Much like last year, I'm flying by the seat of my pants trying to get these themes done asap. So, the simplicity you see for this is half due to me not wanting to go crazy with the prompts I chose, and the other half is due to time mismanagement! Whoopee! 🤪

If you look closely, you can see a sinister aura quietly leaking out of that container. Maybe that's why Ash is so hesitant to accept Misty's heartfelt work? Oh, whatever shall you do, young man? 😉

Day 5 Pokeshipping Week: Nervous Ash

I swear I'm not doing it on purpose 😅, sorry! It’s the second time that other pokeshipper designers have had the same idea as me for the drawing, first with karaoke and then with this drawing. 🙈😅😅 If I had known before, I would have drawn something else 🤔 I did this drawing because various versions were circulating on social media, and I hadn't seen the version with Ash and Misty yet. And when I'm about to publish, I discover that they beat me to it, lol 🤣 We pokeshippers think the same way, ahaha 😎👍 good!

This is where I found the background ⬇️

Secondo giorno Pokeshipping week #celebrating

L’idea era che Misty e Ash si rincontrassero dopo qualche torneo vinto, e i due celebrassero insieme la vittoria.

Per questo disegno mi sono basata sulla posa di una partecipante alle Olimpiadi 2024 mentre abbraccia il suo ragazzo.

Day 2: Fireworks

There's something of a timeline of events with the themes I chose this year. Hopefully, it's not boring to most of you when the week closes out. 😆

Careful, Pikachu! You may be electric type but that doesn't mean you're immune to burns, even from a little sparkler! And Ash, you be careful too!

Day 4: Kokuhaku Tegami (JP Love Confession Letter)

There was a notable bit of editing I had to do when I went from sketching to lineart for this one. A bit of anatomical re-structuring, you could say. 😅 Chalk it up to poor planning, I guess.

Summer vacation is just around the corner, and Misty is choosing now to confess her feelings?? How can she leave things hanging for a whole month?? Here's hoping no one's hearts give out in the interim...

Day 6: Video Call

... Or we can just jump straight into a phonecall mid-vacation to give our response. Why not? 🤪 If it's one thing he's known for, it's Ash's neverending patience and forethought, amirite?

One thing I know, though, is that their families are NOT going to let them live this down. Especially Misty's sisters. 'Cause what're siblings for? Hoo boy. 😅

Daisy was actually pretty fun to draw, especially her hair (if you can't tell). I didn't think too much and just did what I wanted. Maybe it came out too much like fur, but eh who cares (not me). 🤷‍♀️

3 giorno Pokeshipping Week: Karaoke

Quando sono stata in Giappone e sono entrata per la prima volta in un karaoke… be’, mi sembrava incredibile che esistessero posti simili dove poter cantare con persone che conosci, anche canzoni infantili, senza che altri ascoltino. E poter bere e mangiare! (Mi sei rimasta nel cuore Karaoke-chan, ahaha)

Quindi, perché non immaginare Ash e Misty divertirsi nel cantare a squarciagola diverse canzoni… soprattutto le sigle Pokemon italiane? (anche se a lungo sono stata indecisa di fargli cantare Apt di Rosé e Mars… non mi esce dalla testa, lol)

Day 3: Handkerchief

I really like drawing school uniforms. They're really kinda nostalgic for me despite never having been to Japan my entire life. I think it's really nostalgia for my childhood anime, but they're fun to draw regardless. 👍

Seems like something is beginning to grow, but whatever shall become of it? Is Ash potentially having a revelation of sorts or is it still too early to tell? Stay tuned! 😉

Pokeshipping week day 2: Karaoke

I imagine Ash and Misty in a karaoke similar to how Otani and Risa were (From Lovely complex).
