This took embarassing long to finish xD 

I thought I’d try something like this out since my animation class was a huge let down and i had to do stop motion rather than animation but it resulted in some Pokeshipping!

 I like to think Ash is older in Kalos and when Misty came to visit they were both overwhelmed and really happy to see each other… Until Misty realised Ash had grown a little bit taller than her :P

Will you give me this dance?

(I know it’s not perfect, but I tried!)

When you look at the scene when Ash realizes that Misty and him have to part ways, you notice how different Ash’s body language is compared to the other times his friends announced that they had to leave. Subsequent moments between his other friends were moments of mutual separations. There were moments of solemness but in general, Ash accepted his friends’ departures and was happy for their motivations and reasons.

Which is why it’s so striking when compared to Misty’s departure. The central crux of the episode was that Misty was saddened that Ash wouldn’t be emotionally affected by her departure. Ash is initially shown to be glad that Misty’s bike is fixed, his attempt at expressing graciousness for what he saw as a positive development for Misty, which results in Misty being upset. However, after the moment where Ash and Misty praise each other once they defeat the Invincible Pokemon Brothers, Ash gets an almost uncharacteristic strike of seriousness. His face sours. He motions to Misty’s bike with displeasure. In contrast to his earlier attitude, he says with discomfort, “There’s your bike,” almost unsure of how to continue the painful inevitability. 

Ash is now showing resistance to the fact that Misty has to leave. His happiness he showed for Misty at the Pokemon Center wasn’t the whole story; his happiness was expressed out of courtesy for a friend and actually dissembled his real feelings. So in fact, this separation is unique in that both Ash and Misty were the only characters both not mutually happy about what was transpiring. Which tells you a lot about how special Ash and Misty’s relationship is intended to be. 

Gotta Catch You Later was written by Hideki Sonoda who had also written Misty Meets Her Match. He would later write the first Misty special for Pokemon Chronicles, Cerulean Blues. In Misty Meets Her Match, Misty makes the painful decision to commit herself to Ash over Rudy, a decision point that could have lead to her a departure if Misty wasn’t staying true to her heart. So perhaps it’s fitting that Sonoda would be the screenwriter to pen her actual departure, illustrating and exploring the reciprocity of Ash and Misty’s relationship and the effects of involuntary departure on the heart as opposed voluntary departure. It seems to come full circle as he finishes Misty’s arc in Cerulean Blues. As Misty finds security in her gym, she also finds security in her thoughts of Ash. Departed or not, Misty’s commitment to Ash maintains its resolve.

Ash + jealousy

(I picked that specific moment from “Misty Meets Her Match” because while later in the episode it can be argued that Ash’s annoyance has more to do with Rudy as the gym leader not paying attention to him than with Misty, in that scene he still doesn’t know that Rudy is in fact the gym leader.)
