PenguinShipping is the belief of a romantic relationship between Dawn and Kenny. Kenny and Dawn are childhood friends, who are now also Contest rivals. This shipping is called PenguinShipping due to the fact that both of them have members of the Piplup evolution family.
Hints
Even though there are not many hints (Kenny has only appeared in 5 episodes to date), it has been shown that he and Dawn are very close to each other. Kenny even calls Dawn Dee-Dee (Japanese: ピカリ Pikari).
An incident which can be considered as a hint is in Getting the Pre-Contest Titters. When Kenny sees Dawn in her contest dress he is momentarily speechless. She starts flirting with Kenny and asks him if he thinks she's pretty to which he blushes and hastily tries to change the subject.
In Settling a Not-So-Old Score, Kenny seemed jealous of Ash and Dawn being together. He promises to Dawn after Jessie's appeal that he would make "that Seviper lady look bad."
In Journey to the Unown! when Dawn was being lifted into the Solaceon Ruins due to the confused Unown, Kenny worriedly called out her name. He did this again when Dawn was falling, later in the episode. He is the only one who did this on both occasions. Towards the end of the episode, he wanted to make sure that Dawn did not find out how scared he was in the ruins.
Alternate names
This ship is sometimes called ChildhoodShipping, since they are old childhood friends.
