Pokeshipping Week 2022 Day 6: Mirror-verse
Having stopped watching the anime, my first thought on reading Mirror Ash x Mirror Misty was like dark versions (I had this image of Ash being groomed to take over TR). After reading Bulbapedia, here’s a bit of a redux of a pivotal pokeshipping moment with Mirror Ash and Mirror Misty.
Mirror Mirror
The day before her sixteenth birthday, Misty made a list of all the things she had never done and probably never would do at this point.
She’d never left Kanto.
She’d never visited the Orange Islands.
She’d never visited a gym that wasn’t her own.
She’d never entered the Princess Festival Pageant.
She’d never raised a Pokemon from an egg.
She’d never been in a Pokemon battle that wasn’t for the cascade badge or training with her sisters.
She’d never met a gym leader from outside of the League.
She’d never owned a Pokemon that wasn’t a water Pokemon.
She’d never even learnt to ride a bike.
There was a time when she was eleven when she’d almost run away. She’d gotten so mad at her sisters she couldn’t even think straight. She’d packed a bag and her fishing rod and her bright red bike and left, pushing the bike beside her down the road.
But she’d only gone about a mile before she was pushing it back towards the gym. She had nowhere to go and no one to go to. And as bad as things were at home, it was better than being lost and alone with a dumb bike she couldn’t even ride.
So she pushed the bike home and Daisy apologised and that was that. Things went back to how they’d always been and she dedicated her life to becoming the Cerulean Gym leader.
It was the closest she’d ever come to some kind of adventure.
Sixteen meant she would officially be handed the reigns of the Cerulean Gym and Daisy would go off to start her real life and her own dreams.
And Misty would be here, in Cerulean. Never leaving Kanto. Never visiting another region. Never getting to battle just for fun. She would have the thing she’d been working towards her whole life, and nothing would change ever again.
“Well, screw that,” she muttered, ripping off the piece of paper and scrunching it up into a ball.
She had twenty-one hours before they signed the paperwork and hand it over the League for certification, and she was going cram as much life into the next twenty-one hours as possible. Starting with learning to ride a bike.

“When you said you had an emergency, I though you meant an actual emergency,” Brock complained, looking especially grim as he glowered down at her.
Misty had never met anyone who had mastered the dark, brooding thing as well as Brock Slate. All the girls - including her sisters and every Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny they’d ever met - ate. that. shit. up. His usual dark countenance was enhanced by the grime he’d accumulated in a hasty underground trip from Pewter to Cerulean on the back of an Onix.
“It is an emergency,” she insisted, not letting his harsh expression defeat her. “I will not turn sixteen without learning how to ride a bike.” She smiled at him sweetly, knowing if she held up her end for long enough Brock would relent. He’d always had a secret soft spot for her and rest of ‘the kids’ as he called the younger crop of gym leaders.
“Fine,” he said, annoyance still colouring his words. “Get on the bike.”
So she did and twenty-five minutes later she had mastered riding a bike.
“Can I hitch a ride with you to the Pewter Gym?” she asked when they were done.
He eyed her suspiciously, the innocent tone she put on not fooling him in the slightest. “What for?”
She shrugged, maintaining her false innocence. “I’ve never been before. And the Viridian forrest isn’t that far. I could catch some Pokemon there.”
“It’s mostly bug and flying types,” Brock pointed out. “Hardly any water Pokemon.”
“That’s fine,” she told him. “That’s exactly what I’m after.”
---
The Pewter Gym was … well it was a gym wasn’t it. They all basically looked the same except for maybe a few design elements here and there that referenced the main Pokemon type. A gym was a gym, but at least now she’d seen one that wasn’t the Cerulean Gym so she could check that off her list. Now she was on her way to the Viridian Forest to attack the next item on her list.
Capturing a non-water Pokemon.
It seemed pretty straight forward. The Viridian Forrest was basically teeming with caterpie and weedle so weak and defenceless even the most bumbling trainer could catch them.
She’d only been wandering through the Viridian Forrest for ten or so minutes when she found exactly what she was looking for - a weedle just wandered out of the bushes and stopped dead in the middle of her path on seeing her. She called out Psyduck, who could do with the experience, and called for the least damaging attack in Psyduck’s repertoire - confusion. She didn’t even wait for a volley from the weedle and threw a Pokeball.
And just like that she had captured a non-water Pokemon.
“Why would you do that?” called a panicked voice from behind. She turned to see a dark-haired boy around her age on the path behind her with a pikachu on his shoulder and panic in his eyes.
She snorted in derision. “Don’t tell me you’re one of those Team Rocket wanna-be’s crusading for the rights of Pokemon and calling training a blood sport.”
“Of course not,” he said, matching her tone. “I’m someone who knows that if you see a weedle it means there are a bunch bedrill nearby that are going to be fucking pissed that you captured their baby.”
She glared back at him. “Do you know who you’re talking to?” she asked him in an uppity tone. “I’m not some -“
She cut herself off as a low buzzing noise caught her attention. A noise that could only mean one thing.
“What do we do?” she asked, lowering her voice as though that might somehow help them avoid detection.
“There’s only one thing we can do,” the boy replied. The words themselves were declarative and bold, but the way he said them did not inspire confidence. Like her, he whispered and there was something almost grim and desolate about his tone. “We have to battle.”
His words left no room for argument so she recalled Psyduck and brought out the strongest Pokemon she had on her: Starmie. The pikachu jumped from the boy’s shoulder and readied itself for battle.
“Does your starmie know any electric attacks?” the boy asked, looking straight ahead as the buzzing noise became louder.
“Of course,” she replied, almost offended by the suggestion that she might have left her pokemon so vulnerable to a possible type advantage.
“Okay,” he said with a small nod. “Start with a water attack and then we can combine electric attacks for maximum effect,” he said, his voice sounding confident and commanding now, like a switch had turned and he’d become a whole other person. “Ready, Pikachu?”
“Pika,” the pokemon replied.
And then they were surrounded by bedrill on all sides. Misty called for hydropump, which did little to deter the pokemon. But then it wasn’t supposed to. The boy gave her a nod and they called the next attack simultaneously.
“Starmie, thunderbolt”
“Pikachu, thunder”
The space around them filled with light and noise, and then it was complete silent.
The ground was strewn with bedrill and debris and …
“My bike!” she exclaimed in horror, as she took in the mangled remains. “Look what you did to my bike!”
Gone was the vibrant red paint, the shiny silver rims, and black handles. All that remained was the charred skeleton of a bike she’d only just learned to ride.
Gone too, was the confident boy who’d co-ordinated their earlier onslaught. Cowering behind his raised hands, he rushed to defend himself. “It was an accident, I swear,” he all but begged. “I never meant to …”
“You’re paying me back for that,” she told him, getting right up in his face and pointing an accusing finger at him. “It was practically brand new.”
“But -“
“Don’t think you’re getting away from me,” she added, voice rising with every phrase.
“I wasn’t - “
“I’ll follow you all over Kanto if I have to!” she all but hollered at him.
“Okay.”
“I’ll - what did you just say?” she asked, deflating a little at the lack of resistance.
He shrugged, looking a weaselly and nervous as he said, “I mean, it’d be nice to have the company if you’re just going to follow me anyway.”
Well that took the wind right out of her sales. “I wasn’t actually going to follow you,” she said with a frown, the righteous anger fading as quickly as it had come over her and rational thought returning. “It was an empty threat so you’d pay me to go away.”
“I don’t have any money and I don’t mind if you hang around,” he admitted. “In fact, it’d be kinda cool. You’re Misty Waterflower, right? From the Cerulean Gym?”
She nodded, confusion growing by the minute.
“My names Ash - Ash Ketchum from Pallet,” he said offering a hand which she just stared at in wonder. He paused for a second and then rambled on. “I’m a trainer - I mean obviously a trainer. And I’m on my journey and I just competed in the league and me and Pikachu were going to head back to Pallet before our next step.”
“So, yeah,” he concluded lamely, his arm coming up to scratch the back of his head. “If you wanted to come along …”
It was a ridiculous offer and one she had no intention of accepting. Still, she found herself asking, “where are you going?”
“Orange Islands, then maybe Sinnoh or Johto.”
Misty found herself thinking of the crumpled up list back in her bedroom.
“I’ve never been to the Orange Islands.”
