Well, Misty's confirmed to be around for two episodes again, and the last two-parter - against all my realistic expectations - showed Misty acting in a way that I can't imagine as anything but flirtatious toward Ash, so we'll see what happens this time around!

For real? Wow, I'm legitimately surprised! Especially since the other former companions haven't been getting that kind of attention. What's going on here? Not that I am complaining!
At the moment, it seems like there are only going to be two episodes with Misty and Brock visiting Alola, but since the second episode seems to be focusing on Brock, one can hope the first episode might focus more on Misty. I loved the interactions between Ash and Misty in the last Kanto special—it reminded me of the golden days of OS—and I hope to see more of those interactions in this upcoming special.I noticed that Brock is getting a focus episode which gives me hope that there might be a 3rd episode that could be Misty focused? Or maybe the first episode is more Misty focused? Either way, I’m really not complaining about Brock doing his own thing and I’m actually grateful he is because that gives us more potentional for Ash and Misty to have interactions alone. Don’t get me wrong, I love the OS trio dynamic but I’m really hoping for more Pokeshipping.

Misty's only gotten cameos back in AG and now in SM, and no coincidence there were Kanto remakes in both gens. (FR/LG and now SM). We didn't see Misty in the DP saga or any other time for this reason even though they could have had her appear.
Well, we can't necessarily expect shipping scenes in the preview. From a marketing/advertising perspective, Pokéshipping is not the main attraction of these episodes; the return of Misty and Brock is. So of course the marketers/advertisers are going use the previews to focus on scenes such as Misty's Gyarados battling Team Rocket's mecha or Brock and Olivia working together in battle. That doesn't mean there won't be any moments that "pander" to Pokéshipping fans.TVTokyo has a preview of the eps up:

Misty is shown clutching Lana's Eevee, riding on Mantine, and going shopping with the SM girls. Also a brief scene of Gyarados fighting what looks to be a TR mecha. The rest of the preview is Brock flirting with Olivia. In terms of shipping though there aren't any Ash/Misty scenes in the preview.
