| '''PearlShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトヒカ''' ''SatoHika'') is the possible pairing between [[Ash Ketchum]] and the newest character [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]] from the [[Pokémon anime]].
| |
| | |
| =Evidence=
| |
| | |
| ==Dawn's hints==
| |
| *In ''[[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, so she challenged [[Nando]] to a battle hoping to make Ash realize how good she was as a trainer, and 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.
| |
| *In ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', Dawn was having a bad hair day and had [[Dawn's Piplup|her 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.
| |
| *In ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]'', Dawn commented on how awesome Ash looked when making his appeal in the [[Jubilife City|Jubilife]] Contest.
| |
| *In ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]'', Dawn donned on a cute 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 [[May (anime)|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.
| |
| | |
| ==Ash's hints==
| |
| *In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', 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") to console her.
| |
| | |
| ==Other hints==
| |
| [[Image:HighfiveDP.JPG|thumb|right|Ash and Dawn exchanging a high five.]]
| |
| *[[Dawn's Buneary]] seems to have 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.
| |
| *In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score]]'', [[Kenny (coordinator)|Kenny]] seemed jealous of [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]] being together.
| |
| *While Dawn battled a revived {{p|Aerodactyl}} in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'' Ash was fascinated with [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] and [[Dawn's Buneary|Buneary's]] new dodging tactic that he asked Dawn to help him practice for his rematch. He then had [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]], [[Ash's Aipom|Aipom]], and [[Ash's Turtwig|Turtwig]] use them in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched]]'' in his rematch with [[Roark]], again in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters]]'' in his match against Kenny, and a few other times since, the tactic becoming a regular (if not frequent) feature in Ash's strategy.
| |
| *Ash and Dawn are often seen exchanging high fives whenever one of them accomplishes something, which might possibly portray a deep friendship, as Ash has rarely ever given a high five to anyone else on the show.
| |
| *Like [[Misty]] and [[May (anime)|May]], Ash's Pikachu also destroyed Dawn's [[bike]]. However unlike the first two girls, she never once pestered him for it.
| |
| *This doesn't happen all the time, but Ash and Dawn smiles every time they look at each other, and usually aren't there without one-another.
| |
| | |
| ==Similarities==
| |
| *Just like Ash's Pikachu, [[Dawn's Piplup]] wasn´t ready to obey her when they first met. Eventually, they became fast friends.
| |
| *Both Dawn and Ash saw a [[legendary Pokémon]] at the beginning of their journeys (Ash saw {{p|Ho-Oh}} in [[EP001]] and Dawn saw {{p|Mesprit}} in [[DP001]]), meaning she could possess an important connection to the legendary Pokémon of [[Sinnoh]] like Ash possesses an important connection to the Pokémon of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].
| |
| *Like Ash, Dawn is extremely confident, but unlike Ash she rarely looks back on her mistakes, and she is always looking to the future hoping that her dream of being a master coordinator comes true (just like Ash when he started out).
| |
| *Dawn is the only main character in the series, aside from Ash, who owns an {{t|Electric}} Pokémon.
| |
| *Like Ash is based on [[Red (game)|Red]], the protagonist from [[Pokémon Red and Blue]], Dawn is based on [[Dawn (game)|Dawn]] from [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]].
| |
| *Neither the father of Ash nor the father of Dawn have ever been seen, as far as we know. They are also the only children known to have no siblings.
| |
| *Ash and Dawn both come from the [[Player character|player's]] hometowns in their respective region.
| |
| *They both have childhood rivals, Ash's is [[Gary Oak]] and Dawn's is Kenny.
| |
| *Though Ash had previously participated in an unofficial Pokémon contest before, he first participated in an official contest at the same time as Dawn.
| |
| *Both Ash and Dawn have owned a powerful Pokémon that refused to obey them ([[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Dawn's Buizel]]).
| |
| *They are the only main characters who battle members of the [[Elite Four]].
| |
| *Both of their [[Starter Pokémon|starters]] were able to defeat their evolved forms. [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] beat [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{p|Raichu}} while [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] beat [[Kenny's Prinplup]].
| |
| *They both released the second Pokémon they caught: Ash released [[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeot]] and Dawn released [[Dawn's Pachirisu|Pachirisu]]. However, Dawn recaptured Pachirisu and Ash said he would come back for Pidgeot (though he has yet to do so).
| |
| *Their starter Pokémon protected them in the beginning (Pikachu saved Ash from {{p|Spearow}}, Piplup saved Dawn from {{p|Ariados}}).
| |
| | |
| ==Alternate names==
| |
| | |
| The Japanese name is サトヒカ, or ''SatoHika''.
| |
| | |
| PearlShipping has also been called ''ShinouShipping'', however this name conflicts with FortuneShipping (The pairing of [[Lucas (game)|Lucas]] and [[Dawn (game)|Dawn]] in the games) as both these shippings can be referred to as ShinouShipping.
