PearlShipping: Difference between revisions

* ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era]]''

: Dawn felt that Ash didn't respect or acknowledge her and both argued with each other through out most of the episode. She challenged [[Nando]] to a battle hoping to make Ash realize how good she was as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In the end, after Nando managed to explain to them that there was no reason to argue, both apologized to one another and exchanged a few very sentimental words thus strengthening their new friendship.

* ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]''

: Dawn was having a bad hair day and had her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} fix her hair. Before fixing her hair, she refused to let Ash see her for fear of having him judge her, or that she was simply being self-conscious. She also asked Ash afterward if he would like his done too.

* ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]''

: Dawn commented on how awesome Ash looked when making his appeal in the {{ci|Jubilife}} Contest.

* ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]''

: Dawn donned a cheerleading outfit and she and her Pokémon began cheering and dancing for Ash to win and thus giving him the confidence to earn his first [[Badge|gym badge]] in Sinnoh. This is a first since neither [[Misty]] nor {{an|May}} ever went to such lengths in any of Ash's battles; they usually sat at the side lines discussing if he would win, though they would usually throw him a few cheers.

: When Ash showed Dawn Misty's special lure, Dawn said, "I've never seen a lure like that," and Ash's reply was "This? Cool huh? I got it from Misty a long time ago." With this said Dawn seemed a little shocked that she had never heard of [[Misty]] and was found to be a little jealous of her. When Brock noticed this he tells her that Misty was an old friend of theirs that they used to travel with and Dawn seemed to calm down a little, as Brock just said "friend".  

: When [[Gardenia]] suggested to do a tag battle, Dawn quickly said she wanted to be Ash's partner.

* ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''

: When Brock asked Dawn what Pokemon she would use, she told him [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ambipom]] because of the experience from Ash. Later on in another scene, Dawn exclaimed, "Wow, Ash is really something!"

: Dawn cheered Ash again with more dancing for his Gym battle against [[Maylene]].

: Ash claimed the reason he won his new badge from [[Maylene]] was because of all the training Dawn did with {{AP|Buizel}} when it was still hers. This causes Dawn to blush and she says "Thanks, but it was all worth it to see an amazing battle between you and Maylene, Ash."

: At the start of the episode, Dawn commented on how Ash does very good in training his Pokémon and even saying: "Ash is incredible!"

: When Ash ran into [[Crasher Wake]] and fell to the ground, Dawn was concerned over Ash's well-being. In another scene, Dawn was so frightened by the appearance of the Croagunk, she held onto Ash and hid behind him.

: Dawn became worried that Ash's plan to get past the {{p|Psyduck}} would fail and that Ash would end up hurt.

: When Ash asked Dawn what Pokémon she would be using in the upcoming Pokémon Contest, Dawn winks at him and says, "Well who do you ''think'' I would use?"

: When Ash is feeling upset when all his Pokémon are badly injured he runs off and Dawn tries to follow him, but is stopped by Brock.

: In order to cheer up Ash after his confidence goes down, Dawn puts on a show for him.

: Ash didn't know why Dawn was doing the show at first, but Nurse Joy whispered to him that she was doing it to make him and his Pokémon feel better.

: When Ash, Dawn, Brock, [[Kazunari]], and {{an|Kotone}} are trapped in a room at the Valley Windworks, Kotone asks Dawn if there is anything going on between her and Ash. She quickly denied it.

: Dawn was dressed in a cheerleading outfit to cheer Ash on. When she started cheering with her Pokémon Ash noticed this and said, "Geez, thanks Dawn." As he said this, he had a big grin on his face.

: Ash calmed her nerves down after she had made what she thought was a bad appeal, and even used her frequent catchphrase, "''No need to worry!''" (Japanese: "''Daijōbu!''") to console her and gave her a caring and loving look.

: Ash's concern was continually focused on Dawn while he is split up from her and Brock, worrying the most about her being {{m|Bind|bound}} by an {{p|Onix}}.

: Ash signed up Dawn in the {{ci|Hearthome}} [[Tag Battle Tournament]] to cheer her up after her recent Contest loss. When he told her, she was against it because she thought she wouldn't do well, but Ash claimed he thought she would do great. He also told her to try her best. When she agrees, he raises his hand with a big grin on his face to give her a high five.

: Ash was deeply saddened when Dawn lost in the appeal round for the second time. After the loss, "[[Jessie|Jessalina]]" walks up to her and tells her to leave. Dawn tells "Jessalina" she wants to stay. The camera then turns to her slightly shaking fist. The camera then shoots over to Ash's face. The brown in his eyes can be seen, and this usually only happens when Ash is very upset. He then lowers his head, and hides his eyes behind his hat.

: When {{p|Hippowdon}} went down in the sand with {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} the first time, [[Brock]] and Ash went digging with their bare hands looking for it. That can show that Ash cared deeply for Dawn's Pokémon.  

: During the Croagunk Festival, Ash asked Dawn to dance.

: When Ash and Dawn climbed onto Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket's mechas|robot]], he fell off and screamed her name twice, once while he fell and again when he lost sight of her.

: Dawn made a comment about how Ash should treat his Pokémon like {{Gary}} does and Ash became furious. Some PearlShippers consider that to be jealousy of Dawn's supposed feelings for Gary.

: When Dawn became frustrated with designing her outfits for the collection, Ash commented on how all her designs were amazing and she should do her best.

: Dawn becomes concerned Ash's plan to get past the Psyduck will fail and he will get hurt. When Ash noticed, he told her, "No need to worry!" with a huge grin on his face.

: When Brock commented on how great [[Conway]] was with his {{p|Venonat}}, Ash began to get worried and yelled, "'Kay Dawn, hang in there!" Later, Ash was extremely happy that Dawn won the prize for being closest to her [[Pokémon]].

: When Ash sees Dawn running away from {{p|Rotom}}, he becomes worried about her and helps her get away from Rotom.

: Ash saved Dawn by putting his arm around her waist and pushing her to safety, protecting her from her {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} after it went charging at her for more Poffins.

*As [[Dawn's Buneary]] seems to have {{s|LagomorphShipping|a crush}} on [[Ash's Pikachu]]. This could be a sign that Dawn may have a crush on Ash, since [[Professor Oak]] and [[Brock]] have said in the past that Pokémon represent the feelings of their masters and when two Pokémon fall in love there is a good chance the Trainers will too. However, some can point out that Buneary developed this crush ''before'' Dawn caught it. The claim has also been refuted at various points during the series, so the feelings of the Pokémon are not always definitive to the feelings of the Trainers.

* Ash and Dawn are the only main characters to trade Pokémon with each other: Ash's {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} for Dawn's {{AP|Buizel}}.

: When [[Darkrai (movie 10)|Darkrai]] first appears in front of Ash and company, Dawn runs over to Ash's side. Several other scenes feature Dawn reacting to Ash's predicaments: when Ash is about to fall off the tower, Dawn rushes over to save him. When Ash saves her from falling of the platform, Dawn looks at him with a thankful expression on her face and is holding his hand. And when Ash begins to cry, believing he lost Darkrai, Dawn looks at him with a worried expression and begins to cry as well.

: When Ash becomes sad that {{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} left, Dawn says, "Oh, Ash" in a very caring tone.

===Other hints===

* ''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''

: Ash and Dawn are seen playing together in the lake, while Brock just is standing in the water watching them with a smile. Some Pearlshippers believe that Brock noticed feeling between the two and decided to keep his distance and watch.

: Ash and Dawn are challenged to a [[tag battle]] by [[Kato]] and [[Kiko]], which they accept. Once they win, they exchange a high-five. Not long after, a water tornado appears and Dawn is almost sucked into it. Ash is the first to react, and tries to save her, but almost gets sucked into it himself. This could mean that he possibly cares more for Dawn than Brock does, or that Ash just has better reflexes.
