PearlShipping: Difference between revisions

: Dawn feels Ash does not respect or acknowledge her, and both argue with one another throughout most of the episode. Hoping that in doing so Ash will come to recognize her abilities as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Dawn challenges [[Nando]] to a battle. In the end, after Nando manages to explain to them that their argument is baseless, Ash and Dawn exchange apologies, thereby strengthening their new friendship.

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

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

: Dawn comments on how awesome Ash looks when making his appeal in the {{ci|Jubilife}} Contest. Later, while running to the stage to perform her own exhibition, she meets Ash and the two exchange their first high-five (even if looks like Ash started to raise his hand first). Noticeably, the scene where they clap their hands is slowed and has a full-white background; also, in the Japanese version, there's no background music and the sound of the hands meeting is very loud.

* ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]''

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

: Dawn dons a cheerleading outfit while she and her Pokémon cheer for Ash. Ash is thus able to find the confidence necessary to winning his first [[Badge|gym badge]] in Sinnoh. Neither {{an|Misty}}, nor {{an|May}}, nor {{an|Serena}} ever went to such lengths in any of Ash's battles, instead choosing to more passively sit on the sidelines when cheering. However, {{an|Iris}} cheered Ash on with a bass drum and face make-up during his battle at the [[Virbank Gym]]. Dawn reprises her role as Ash's cheerleader [[DP068|twice]] [[DP179|more]] over series' run.

: After Dawn has won her first Pokémon Contest, she exchanges the second high-five with Ash.

* ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]''

* ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]''

: Dawn tells Ash she doesn't mind of Ash burning her bike before the beginning of their journey, because it was a warning situation and they had Team Rocket following them. In addition, it seems she never told Ash about Pikachu burning her bike before this episode, showing she never wanted to make him worry about it.

* ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]''

: Dawn has just lost the Hearthome Contest, but Ash has bought her a ticket for the Hearthome tag tournament. After having some doubts, she accepts Ash's inviting, getting temporarily over her sadness for the loss, probably because Ash insisted.

* ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''

: After Ash accepts to battle Spiritomb, Dawn seems very worried about Ash getting hurt and says "Please be careful, Ash".

: Dawn witnesses Ash leaving to train with his Pokémon and follows out of curiosity. Later, Dawn finds herself inspired by Ash's training, but, reflecting upon her recent Contest failure, suddenly begins crying. Ash, upon noticing Dawn's tears, asks whether she is okay and whether she has something in her eyes, the latter inquiry an (albeit faulty) assumption to which Dawn quickly agrees. Eager to avoid the possibility of having him worry over her, Dawn immediately follows this exchange with an invitation to snack on ice cream. A hungry and clueless Ash eagerly accepts.

* ''[[DP063|Hot Springing a Leak!]]''

* ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''

: When Dawn attempts to convince [[Maylene]] to take up Gym Leading again, she admits to Maylene that she wonders if her Contests are holding Ash back.

* ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]''

: When Ash accepts Sho's challenge, Dawn tells him to make sure he won't lose.

: When searching for Pikachu, Ash separates himself from the rest of the group. Only Dawn calls out his name when he takes off.

: When training for the rematch, Pikachu impresses Dawn by catching some Frisbees. She even comments on how she looks forward to seeing Pikachu's skills in a battle.

: At the episode's start, Dawn comments on how Ash does very well in training his Pokémon and notes that "Ash is incredible!" Also, when Wallace talks about the importance of love between the trainers and their Pokémon, Dawn agrees and looks straight at Ash as if she just realized something that involves him. Ash then looks back at her in confusion.

* ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]] ''

* ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]''

: Dawn is proud of Ash because he and Buizel, by turning the opponent's {{m|Ice Beam}} against it, successfully pulled off the {{m|Aqua Jet}}-{{m|Ice Beam}} combination, "[[Ice Aqua Jet]]." Dawn had previously attempted to perform this combination with Buizel in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''.

: Ash, upset over his Pokémon team's injuries, runs off. Dawn, concerned, attempts to follow but is stopped by Brock. Nevertheless, Dawn later puts on a complex show for Ash, trying hard to improve Ash's mood and self-confidence. While Ash is initially oblivious to the Dawn's motivations, Nurse Joy soon informs him that Dawn went through so much trouble solely on behalf of him and his Pokémon.

* ''[[DP137|Three sides to every story!]]''

* ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]''

: After Ash's match with Palmer, Dawn tells Ash that she has a new way to show off her Pokémon.

* ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy]]''

: When Ash and Paul find Dawn and Paul walking together, Dawn looks awkward for a moment, and then runs to Ash's side as if embarrassed to be caught by Ash talking with another boy.

* ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''

: As Ash and Brock prepare leave the Sinnoh region, Dawn initially proclaims that she would like to accompany Ash to his hometown of 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.

*''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''

: When Ash enters [[Cynthia]]'s villa in [[Undella Town]], Dawn playfully hides behind him while giggling when he cannot find her. She then surprises him with her appearance. Some moments later, she winks and raises her arm to propose Ash a high-five, like they used to do in Sinnoh. Later on, during her battle against Cilan's Pansage, Dawn also makes Piplup use Ash's old Counter Shield, a move they developed together.

: Just like Dawn, after Nando told them that their arguing was baseless, Ash apologizes to Dawn, saying he hasn't been very nice with her.

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

* ''[[DP018|O'er The Rampardos We Watched]]''

* ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]''

: Ash calms Dawn's nerves after she makes what she thought had been a bad appeal and consoles her through the use of Dawn's frequent catchphrase, "''No need to worry!''" (Japanese: "''Daijōbu!''"). While doing so, Ash expresses an encouraging look.

* ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]''

: In this episode, Ash is seen giving Dawn many kind gestures. First, after Dawn faints, Ash gives her some warm milk to make her feel better—though it is revealed Brock told Ash to go get it—and comments on how worried he is about her well-being. These kind words touch Dawn, prompting her to note that he is being really, almost uncharacteristically, nice to her. Later, during the Contest, Brock worries aloud that Dawn's performance might not go well; Ash objects and tells Brock that he thinks Dawn will be fine. Finally, after the first round of the Contest, Ash runs into the contestant area (Brock behind), telling Dawn that she was awesome and complimenting her Pokémon pair. Dawn is touched and she and Ash high-five. At the episode's end, [[Ursula]] comments on how close Ash and Dawn have become.

*''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]''

: Dawn tries on a princess outfit leaving Ash with a visibly stunned face (though some say it's because she looks so much like Princess Salvia). Ash praises Dawn, commenting that the dress looks good on her.

*''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''

: Throughout the episode, Ash was constantly joking around with Dawn. At the beginning of the episode, Ash tells Dawn's mother that traveling with Dawn was a lot of fun and that he enjoyed her around. 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.

*''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''

*''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]''

: Ash gets discouraged when it's Dawn specifically who teases him.

==Similarities==

* Ash lost a battle to both, Brock and Roark, who are the first Gym Leaders of their respective regions (Kanto and Sinnoh). When Ash lost to Brock, Misty offered to lend him her Water type Pokémon, which he declined, though, rudely. Dawn offered to lend Ash her Water type, Piplup, and Ash turned her down, though more respectfully.

* The rivals of their {{ga|Red|game}} {{ga|Dawn|counterparts}} ({{Gary}} and {{an|Barry}}) have appeared in the anime instead of making a cameo, as {{ga|Silver}} and {{ga|Brendan}} have.

* Both encountered {{TRT}} for the first time in the second episode of their respective series (Ash in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' and Dawn in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'').

* They are the only main characters that have battled members of the [[Elite Four]].

** Pikachu saved Ash from {{p|Spearow}} in the beginning of his journey while Piplup saved Dawn from {{p|Ariados}}.

** Both Dawn and Ash's first Pokémon have refused to evolve.

** Both also have a Pokémon they caught in its earliest form, which began to disobey them after evolving once, and then evolved again rather quickly. Eventually, both Pokémon started obeying their Trainers (however, it took [[Ash's Charizard]] longer to obey than [[Dawn's Mamoswine]]).

* In ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', Pachirisu becomes ill from having too much electricity, which also happened to Ash's Pikachu between ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'' and ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]''.

* Just like [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], [[Dawn's Piplup]] stopped evolving in the middle of the evolution process.

* Both own a {{p|Quilava}} that evolved from a Cyndaquil.

* Both released a {{AP|fully|Gliscor}} {{TP|Dawn|evolved|Ambipom}} Pokémon from their current team for training during the the ''Diamond and Pearl'' saga.

** Both are part of a two-evolution family and their base forms relate to Generation II.
