AmourShipping(Japanese: サトセレ SatoSere) is the name of the pairing of Ash Ketchum and Serena in the Pokémon anime. The name AmourShipping comes from the word amour which is French for "love". The name was chosen because in the XY series, like the XY games, are set in the Kalos region which is based on France. The pairing is becoming popular because Serena has met Ash in a summer camp in Pallet Town when they were young children and the recurring hints that Serena gives in the anime, to the point that some of the fandom believes that AmourShipping is canon.
Anime evidence
Serena's hints
- When Serena saw Ash on TV jumping of the Prism Tower, she acts in a some what scared/worried way, although this is shown, she could be just worrying for a person in danger, for the TV camera never shows Ash's face until his is safely on the ground. After rescuing his Pikachu in the Lumiose Tower from a rampaging Garchomp, Serena noticed that this could be the same boy that she saw when she was a child, she was shown looking at the TV while saying "that boy, no it couldn't be".
- At the end of the episode, she tells her Rhyhorn that something exciting is going to happen that could involve Ash, the scene is then followed up with her having a flashback of Ash as a young boy.
- When Serena goes to Professor Sycamore laboratory, she asked him, before choosing her starter Pokémon who was the guy that she saw her on TV, and then Sycamore replies that the boy is Ash. Then, she was overjoyed to know that Ash is the boy that she saw in their childhood.
- When Serena was walking down the steps in the city, she thought that she can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees her while her face was red.
- When she saw Ash, she is really happy to finally see him while he is battling Viola. While Ash was battling, she had her hands clasped together. She was sad when just after Ash lose the battle, he ran past without seeing her.
- After Serena returns Ash's backpack, she asks a question to him while her face was red, but was interrupted by the chime of the Pokemon Center bell.
- When Ash was on the ground from the intense training, Serena walks up to Ash and hands him a towel to clean up.
- In this episode, she asked alone to Ash if she remembers her when they met in the summer camp in Pallet Town. Also, through the entire Gym battle she was cheering for Ash to win way more than Clemont and Bonnie did.
Ash's hints
