I, Anonymous, self-professed Misty lover and Pokeshipping lifer, do humbly accept the final and true loss of my ship on this day Friday the 24th 2023. It is with great honor and respect that my preferred endgame joins the distinguished company of all the pairings that were never meant to be, in the great autistic beyond. I do so in good conscience, having seen my 20+ year commitment to its canonical end, and in good faith, without irony or ill will.
I proudly stand arm in arm with my rivals, who’s tenacity and fortitude have made this journey so fun and engaging these many years. Together, we cross into oblivion not as enemies, but as equals, for its was not solely the content of my ship that made this bowl worthwhile, but the quality of my competition. All of your girls/boys/Pokemon fought well, it was an honor shitposting with you gentlemen. May your fanfiction, your doujinshis and your headcanons treat you well.
To Takeshi Shudo, 4Kids Entertainment, and the Seiyuu who gave my ship life, you have my gratitude. To the fanartists, AMV creators, cosplayers and fellow Misty posters, a simple thanks will never be enough. To Ash and Misty themselves, fictional though you may be, I thank you for the time we spent together, and will continue to spend together, in the realm of imagination.
This isn’t the end, but a bright new beginning, for all of us. Thanks for all the smiles.
