'''PearlShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトヒカ''' ''SatoHika'') is the belief that [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{an|Dawn}} belong in a romantic relationship. This [[shipping|Ship]] is among the more popular anime-based Shippings, along with {{s|Poké}}, {{s|Advance}}, {{s|Contest}}, and {{s|Amour}}. The name itself was coined from the belief that Dawn's {{ga|Dawn|game persona}} would be linked to the {{ga|Barry|Pearl}} name upon {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}'s release, as was the case for {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, before much was known about either the anime saga or Dawn's character.

: As Ash and Brock prepare leave the Sinnoh region, Dawn initially proclaims that she would like to accompany Ash to his hometown in Kanto now that her Contest run has concluded. This plan is quickly derailed, however, when an opportunity for Buneary in Sinnoh presents itself. Near the episode's conclusion, as Ash and Brock walk away, Dawn calls out for Ash one last time, prompting a startled Ash to turn around and see her right arm raised high above her head. The two high-five for the last time ((in the DP series) this seems to be the first time that's Dawn "asking" for the high-five). The camera pans down to show Pikachu and Piplup high-five and then hug one another. Dawn begins to cry as the boat departs but, upon hearing Ash yell words of encouragement, regains composure, quickly running after the boat and waving alongside a tearful Piplup.

At the end of the episode, Ash becomes worried about Dawn when she was crying as he left so he yells her catchphrase and cheers her up.
