Pokeshipping Week : 2016 Collection

Four one-shots written for 2016's annual Pokeshipping Week event featuring the following themes, in order:
1. "having each others' backs" - Misty faces her worst fears. An alternate scene from Pokemon 2000 wherein Ash isn't brought back from the brink by her shaking him and calling his name.
2. "if tracey never joined" - Based on a loophole I found in the prompt, Ash and Misty meet a local artist in the Orange Islands who sees something they don't. Takes place right after Pokeball Peril.
3. "changing the others' world" - Misty speaks her mind, Serena pays back a long overdue debt, and Ash finally sees the light. Takes place after Kalos.
4. "sleeping together" - Features a lot of symbolism. Ash is in love with a memory and he doesn't even realize. Takes place near the start of his Hoenn travels.
