Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''Shipping'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[Bulbapedia:Project Shipping/To-do list|to-do list]].<br />
<br />
==Project Shipping==<br />
===Scope and aims===<br />
Project Shipping covers all articles about Shipping. When developing new pages or adding to old ones, adhere to this: [[Bulbapedia:Shipping]] for guidance on content.<br />
<br />
===Participation===<br />
'''PLEASE READ''': "All" is a misnomer; it is impossible to actively construct articles for all the known Ships. Bulbapedia is also an encyclopedia, and encyclopedias are professional tools. All information is relevant if it relates directly to the medium it spawns from, and is FACT. It is fact Ash is oblivious to the many crushes he's gotten; it is not fact he might currently reciprocate on any of them.<br />
<br />
Shipping articles do offer bias, as Shipping itself is as bias as it is factual. It's fact Shipping is a major part of the fandom; it's not fact everyone agrees with everything that will be represented as evidence. Therefore, if you are going to participate in cleaning up the articles or creating them, please be aware of what is acceptable within the article. You might insert information another does not believe belongs, even though it fits possible "evidence"; unlike the main space, information here is not judged the same, only because everything on the main space is generally ironclad and there is no room for fanon, weak evidence, or lazy information. In that frame of mind, even bias information is subject to disbelief, and can be deleted if the evidence is not sustainable.<br />
<br />
tl;dr - Crap is still crap. You can grasp at straws, but you're better off not, for the sake of an article's integrity. Know your information, and if you have to, explain it coherently (just not over-glossed and embellished).<br />

===Page Creation===<br />
If you want to create an article that is not listed on the [[Bulbapedia:Project Shipping/To-do list|to-do list]], it would be wise to ''ask'' the current project leader if it's actually okay, with ''a valid argument for it''. There are over 6,000 Ships in the Pokémon fandom alone; not all of them deserve articles on the merit of existence alone.<br />
<br />
AUGUST 21, 2009: There will be '''no more''' pages for nevermets without prior consultation with the Project Leader. Any future articles will need to have a founding basis for the article, and will be given a week-long trial on its worth. Meaning, unless it's an article on a somewhat canon interrelation, such as ChikoShipping, AdvanceShipping, or CollideShipping, it will be rightly judged if it's worth notability. So before publishing the page, please construct it to an adequate size. If there is little to be said for the couple past popularity and straw-clutching (IkariShipping), then chances are it's not worth it. However, we will be the judge of that, if it's worth its weight or not.<br />
<br />
===Structure===<br />
====Title====<br />
All articles should be known as 'Shipping:{name}Shipping' and a page, '{name}Shipping' should be created with only the template <nowiki>{{Shipping redirect}}</nowiki>. There is no need to put <nowiki>{{Shipping redirect|PAGENAME}}</nowiki> because the template has that covered.<br />
<br />
Also, at the start of each article in the Shipping namespace you should add a [[Template:Ship|<nowiki>{{ship}}</nowiki>]] template so as to warn people.<br />
<br />
If the article is a stub, use the template mentioned below.<br />
<br />
====Other====<br />
<br />
:''For further structure templates, including multi-ship articles, see [[Bulbapedia:Project Shipping/Article Structure]]''<br />
<br />
===Goals===<br />
# Write comprehensive and upstanding articles on Ships.<br />
##This means they are to be substantial, well written (even if they are short articles), and with substance.<br />
# Ensure that all hints/evidence/facts are in the originating media and not from fanfiction. All fanon information is to be eliminated.<br />
##All given hints/evidence/facts should also be meaningful and not tossed in there because it made the Shipper in you go squee.<br />

'''BreederShipping''' is the belief that {{an|Brock}} and [[Suzy]] belong in a romantic relationship. The namesake of the Ship comes from the fact that Brock wants to be the best {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} and Suzy is already a famous Pokémon Breeder. Suzy is first introduced in the anime in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''. In this episode, even though it is the first time Suzy and Brock meet eachother, there are many hints to be found. Suzy is only seen again (so far) in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', where the two enter a Pokémon breeding contest together.<br />
<br />
==Evidence==<br />
===Brock's Hints===<br />
* ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''<br />
: When Brock first met Suzy his face was deeply flushed and he was very sweaty. Brock couldn't talk after meeting her, but when he manages to talk, he asks to be Suzy's pupil. He is also able to recite Suzy's achievements, fame, and more, showing he is deeply interested in her. Then {{an|Misty}} asks about [[Brock's Vulpix|Suzy's Vulpix]] and Brock recites about Vulpix as well.<br />
: Vulpix, a picky eater, only eats Brock's cooking, and seeing as Vulpix is close to Suzy, people consider this a hint that if Brock's cooking is good enough for Vulpix, then Brock should also be good for Suzy.<br />
: Brock, along with {{Ash}}, assures Suzy not to give up on being a Breeder. Along with this same determination, Brock defends Suzy's breeding salon from [[Team Rocket]].<br />
* ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]''<br />
: {{an|Misty}} states that every time they reach a Pokémon Center, Brock rushes to check his email. Then we see Brock, who says, "Yes! I finally got a reply from Suzy!" This makes it apparent that he cares about her attention, and wants to speak to her more. The fact that he's so excited also seems to show much he cares.<br />
: Even though the contest Suzy is competing in is out of their way, Brock states; "I need to see Suzy!". <br />
: When seeing Suzy again after so long, Brock hides behind the roses he got her, then stammers, blushes, and hands them to her.<br />
: After Suzy asks him to compete in the contest with her, Brock blushes. After Vulpix agrees and Suzy settles the matter, Brock's face goes completely red muttering, "Me and Suzy, Suzy and me..." and faints. <br />
: When the gang meets [[Zane]], Brock gets instantly jealous. At the mention of him being a rival, Brock gets angry, asking if Zane is Suzy's sworn mortal enemy. It looks as if he would be willing to battle him for her, until Zane explains that they're rivals, but certainly not enemies. <br />
: When Zane leaves, Suzy says that he is the nicest guy in the world. Then she remembers that Brock is there, and tells him that he's very sweet in his own way too. Brock gets jealous and explains that Zane's not sweet, and they have to defeat him ''totally''.<br />
: When sitting down, Ash asks Misty what number Brock and Suzy are. She replies, and Ash asks when Zane is on. Misty says, "He's after Suzy," to which Ash replies with a sigh, "Yeah, Brock is, too... That's the problem."<br />
<br />
===Suzy's Hints===<br />
* Vulpix took a liking to Brock. This may be a sign that Suzy likes Brock as Professor Oak once said Pokémon reflect their Trainers' feelings. <br />
* ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''<br />
: Suzy is deeply impressed by Brock's breeding skills. She is also impressed that Vulpix likes his food. After all is said and done, Suzy gives her Vulpix to Brock, convinced he will take perfect care of it.<br />
* ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]''<br />
: Once Brock gives Vulpix back, he says he hopes that Vulpix is in good condition. Suzy assures him that from the moment she saw Vulpix, she knew that Brock had done an amazing job in raising it for her. Some think of this as a hint because it shows her confidence in his breeding skills.<br />
: When everyone is saying that Suzy and Zane should open a salon together and work as a team, Suzy doesn't really listen to their opinions, but instead asks Brock what he thinks of the idea. When Brock says that he thinks it's a great idea, Suzy agrees with the idea.<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are preparing a meal by a river. Meanwhile further upstream a {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}} named {{ra|Ben}} is trying to capture a {{p|Heatran}} which knows {{m|Eruption}}. Just before he could capture it, a small earthquake takes place making Heatran [[Escape|flee]]. Ben then catches a {{p|Pidgeot}} which is flying by and he uses to chase after Heatran. However as he finds Heatran so does {{TRT}} who use their [[Mecha|RoboDigglet]] to break the boulders in order to stop Heatran in its tracks. It quickly escapes and one of the boulders hits Pidgeot and sends Ben plummeting into the river. He then calls upon his {{DL|Ben (Ranger)|Feraligatr}} to rescue him and take him downstream, which Feraligatr sucessfully does.<br />
<br />
Ben then floats down the river to Ash, {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Dawn}} and introduces himself as a Pokémon Ranger. As he is talking with them he notices his [[Capture Styler]] is missing. He then asks them if they have spotted {{p|Heatran}}. Ben explains to them that it is a special one as it is the only one of its kind which can learn Eruption. He plans to take it to the [[National Park]]. Then he requests their help to which they gladly agree.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile as Team Rocket is walking down the stream they find Ben's Capture Styler and plan to use it to capture Heatran. Meowth then has a [[boss fantasy|fantasy]] of the boss using Heatran as a grill, a {{wp|sauna}} heater and a fireplace.<br />
<br />
Ben, Ash, Dawn, and Brock are climbing up a mountain. Ben then checks the temperature of the ground to feel if there are any volcanoes nearby. They keep going as Ben constantly checks the temperature which is getting warmer and warmer. They then approach a cave where the ground is especially warm due to the flow of magma and go inside it. Team Rocket then appears and follows them inside. As the group goes deeper inside the cave they find a lake of lava where they spot Heatran whose [[ability]] {{a|Flash Fire}} activates.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket appears again with their RoboDiglett and recite their {{motto}}. Then, James tries to use the Capture Styler but fails. Ben then says he's the only one who can use it. Meowth uses the RoboDigglet to try to capture Heatran, but Heatran stops it with Eruption. The cave wall is about to collapse and Heatran is in trouble. Ben bravely goes and helps Heatran, Ash and Dawn help him by cooling down the floor with their pokemon. Ben takes the Capture Styler from James, but the floor under him crumbles and he almost falls into the lava. {{AP|Pikachu}} then uses {{m|Thunder Bolt}} on Team Rocket and Meowth drops the RoboDigglet remote into the lava. Heatran then destroys the RoboDigglet with Eruption. <br />
<br />
Heatran is holding on to a rock that is falling into the lava, Ben then summons Feraligatr who uses Ice Beam on the lava. Heatran is saved then Ben captures it and they escape the cave as it collapses. Outside, Ben asks for a helicopter using his Styler to come by and pick him and Heatran up. He then shakes hands with Ash while the helicopter arrives. As the helicopter is leaving, he bids farewell to the group.<br />
<br />
The scene cuts with the [[narrator]]'s conclusion.<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
{{incomplete synopsis}} <br />
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are preparing a meal by a river. Meanwhile further upstream a [[Pokémon Ranger]] named {{ra|Ben}} is trying to capture a {{p|Heatran}}. Just before he could capture it Heatran [[Escape|flees]]. Ben then catches a {{p|Pidgeot}} which he uses to chase after a Heatran that knows {{m|Eruption}}. However as he finds Heatran so does {{TRT}} who sends Ben plummeting into the river. He then calls upon his {{DL|Ben (Ranger)|Feraligatr}} to rescue him and take him downstream, which Feraligatr sucessfully does.<br />
<br />
Ben then floats down the river to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}},he introduces himself as a Pokémon Ranger. As he is talking with them he notices his [[Capture Styler]] is missing, he then asks {{Ash}}, Dawn, and Brock if they will assist him in finding {{p|Heatran}}. Meanwhile as Team Rocket is walking down the stream they find Ben's Capture Styler and plan to use it to capture Heatran,Meowth then has a [[boss fantasy]] of the boss using Heatran as a grill, a sauna heater and a fireplace.<br />
<br />
{{ra|Ben}}, {{Ash}}, Dawn, and Brock are climbing up a mountain. Ben then checks the temperature of the ground to fell if there are any volcanoes nearby.They keep going as Ben constantly checks the temperature, they then approach a cave and go inside. Team Rocket then appears and follows them inside. As they go deeper inside the cave they find a lake of lava where they spot Heatran.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket appears again with their Robo{{p|Diglett}}, James tries to use the Capture Styler but fails. Ben then says he's the only one who can use it. Meowth uses the RoboDigglet to try to capture Heatran, but Heatran stops it with Eruption. The Cave wall is about to collapse and Heatran is in trouble. Ben bravely goes and helps Heatran, Ash and Dawn help him by cooling down the floor. Ben takes the Capture Styler from James, but the floor under him crumbles and the Styler falls into the lava. {{p|Pikachu}} uses thunderbolt on team rocket and Meowth drops the RoboDigglet remote into the lava. Heatran then destroyed the RoboDigglet with Eruption. Heatran is holding on to a rock that is falling into the lava, Ben the summons {{DL|Ben (Ranger)|Feraligatr}} who uses Ice Beam on the lava. Heatran is saved then Ben captures it and they escape the cave as it collapses.<br />

Mikey is actually an eevee brother because at the end of the episode one of them say to him they are truely the eevee brothers. {{unsigned|Yoster10}}<br />

:Mikey is mentioned on the page, but it also links to his main article. It's like when a Pokémon has an article.

This is a bit of a wierd question and you will probably say no but do you have any legendaries you are willing to trade for non-legendaries because on monday i am getting the final Pokémon i need to obtain all non-legendaries so i need just 8 legendaries left which are: [[Mew]], [[Celebi]], [[Jirachi]], [[Deoxys]], [[Darkrai]], [[Keldeo]], [[Meloetta]] and [[Genesect]]. {{unsigned|Yoster10}}<br />

What about the extra space at the bottom can that be taken off by any chance. [[User:Yoster10|Yoster10]] 19:34, 8 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

Do not threaten an administrator. By the way, the page was previously here [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mini-Dit&diff=prev&oldid=534358] but was redirected over three years ago--[[User:SandmanDP|SandmanDP]] 19:11, 15 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
:@Yoster: I won't restore it, and if you make it again, I will protect it from creation. If you look at [[Duplica]]'s page, we can see that Mini-Dit barely has any content in its table. I think that's a tell-tale sign that it's simply not notable enough for its own page. The next time you start an article, give it more substance. Pages with just the infobox and opening sentence will be deleted. <br />

I was not being threatening, if you are reffering to where i said 'i will just recreate it and add the content.' i meant that if you are unable to undo the deletion then i would not mind recreating.

== General Pokemon B/W Question ==<br />
Do Pokemon B/W games, or any other Pokemon games reset on their own once you have a certain number of hours on a game? I've heard that the maximum time that can be set in a saved file is 999:57.

:We prefer that people who welcome new users are constructive users that have been around for a while, since it's likely the new user will go to whoever welcomed them for help and advice. But you fit that category well enough, so I don't see any reason why you can't welcome new users. Go right ahead. Just put <nowiki>{{subst:welcome}}</nowiki> on a new user's talk, or click on it in the toolbar below, and it'll come up with the welcome message. Though just so it's put on the table, if there's someone that registered a while ago, and they haven't been welcomed, make sure they weren't blocked for some reason. We don't welcome users that are blocked indefinitely. Also, I'll answer just about any general question to the best of my abilities, as will the rest of the admins (Junior, regular, senior).

:I'd say in [[EP001]]; Pikachu is incapacitated by the Spearow, leaving Ash with no more Pokémon to use. If not that, then maybe one of the early Team Rocket battles (before they started blasting off), any of the gym battles Ash (or anyone else) lost, or even the Leagues.

<br />
It's usual situation when the trainer has left no Pokemon and so couldn't continue the battle.<br />
In AG068 Ash was hit by Ember and fell into a swoon although his Pokemon (Taillow) was '''not''' hurt. That's why he lose the battle with May and this situation is unusual. What do you think about it?<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
{{synopsis cleanup}}<br />
{{incomplete synopsis}} <br />
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are preparing a meal by a river. Meanwhile further upstream a [[Pokémon Ranger]] named {{ra|Ben}} is trying to capture a {{p|Heatran}}. Just before he could capture it Heatran [[Escape|flees]]. Ben then catches a {{p|Pidgeot}} which he uses to chase after a Heatran that knows {{m|Eruption}}. However as he finds Heatran so does {{TRT}} who sends Ben plummeting into the river. He then calls upon his {{DL|Ben (Ranger)|Feraligatr}} to rescue him and take him downstream, which Feraligatr sucessfully does.<br />
<br />
Ben then floats down the river to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}},he introduces himself as a Pokémon Ranger. As he is talking with them he notices his [[Capture Styler]] is missing, he then asks {{Ash}}, Dawn, and Brock if they will assist him in finding {{p|Heatran}}. Meanwhile as Team Rocket is walking down the stream they find Ben's Capture Styler and plan to use it to capture Heatran,Meowth then has a [[boss fantasy]] of the boss using Heatran as a grill, a sauna heater and a fireplace.<br />
<br />
{{ra|Ben}}, {{Ash}}, Dawn, and Brock are climbing up a mountain. Ben then checks the temperature of the ground to fell if there are any volcanoes nearby.They keep going as Ben constantly checks the temperature, they then approach a cave and go inside. Team Rocket then appears and follows them inside. As they go deeper inside the cave they find a lake of lava where they spot Heatran.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket appears again with their Robo{{p|Diglett}}, James tries to use the Capture Styler but fails. Ben then says he's the only one who can use it. Meowth uses the RoboDigglet to try to capture Heatran, but Heatran stops it with Eruption. The Cave wall is about to collapse and Heatran is in trouble. Ben bravely goes and helps Heatran, Ash and Dawn help him by cooling down the floor. Ben takes the Capture Styler from James, but the floor under him crumbles and the Styler falls into the lava. {{p|Pikachu}} uses thunderbolt on team rocket and Meowth drops the RoboDigglet remote into the lava. Heatran then destroyed the RoboDigglet with Eruption. Heatran is holding on to a rock that is falling into the lava, Ben the summons {{DL|Ben (Ranger)|Feraligatr}} who uses Ice Beam on the lava. Heatran is saved then Ben captures it and they escape the cave as it collapses.<br />

* Similar to the [[AG171|previous]] [[AG172|two]] [[DP071|Ranger]] [[DP072|specials]], the English dub of this episode followed a different order than the Japanese order when first aired, airing between ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning]]'' and ''[[DP178|For The Love Of Meowth!]]'' so as to be closer to the release of its respective {{pkmn|Ranger}} game, in this case [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]].<br />
** Unlike the [[DP071|Riolu]] [[DP072|specials]], this episode was returned to its original position in the season after the first airing. However, its placement in dub [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors|season 13]] is ''before'' ''[[DP168|Keeping in Top Forme!]]'' rather than after it, which is the case with the original Japanese ordering.

*In the Japanese version the [[Narrator]] mentions during the opening and closing monologues that the gang are on their way to [[Valor Lakefront]] for the [[Grand Festival]], however due to the dubbed episode being postponed so it could air nearer the release of ''[[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]'' (at which point the gang were now on the way to [[Sunyshore City]]) both speeches are changed so that the group's destination isn't mentioned.<br />

Mikey is actually an eevee brother because at the end of the episode one of them say to him they are truely the eevee brothers. {{unsigned|Yoster10}}<br />
:I know.

Ok then fair enough, but dont you think he should be on the page. {{unsigned|Yoster10}}<br />
:Mikey is mentioned on the page, but it also links to his main article. It's like when a Pokémon has an article.

This is a bit of a wierd question and you will probably say no but do you have any legendaries you are willing to trade for non-legendaries because on monday i am getting the final Pokémon i need to obtain all non-legendaries so i need just 8 legendaries left which are: [[Mew]], [[Celebi]], [[Jirachi]], [[Deoxys]], [[Darkrai]], [[Keldeo]], [[Meloetta]] and [[Genesect]]. {{unsigned|Yoster10}}<br />
:I don't own a Keldeo, Meloette, or Genesect, and I'm not interested in trading any of my others. Plus I've had issues with wi-fi lately.

Do not threaten an administrator. By the way, the page was previously here [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mini-Dit&diff=prev&oldid=534358] but was redirected over three years ago--[[User:SandmanDP|SandmanDP]] 19:11, 15 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
:@Yoster: I won't restore it, and if you make it again, I will protect it from creation. If you look at [[Duplica]]'s page, we can see that Mini-Dit barely has any content in its table. I think that's a tell-tale sign that it's simply not notable enough for its own page. The next time you start an article, give it more substance. Pages with just the infobox and opening sentence will be deleted. <br />

I was not being threatening, if you are reffering to where i said 'i will just recreate it and add the content.' i meant that if you are unable to undo the deletion then i would not mind recreating.

== General Pokemon B/W Question ==<br />
Do Pokemon B/W games, or any other Pokemon games reset on their own once you have a certain number of hours on a game? I've heard that the maximum time that can be set in a saved file is 999:57. What happens when my game reaches that - does the time just reset, or will my saved game delete itself? [[User:Judgement|Judgement]] 01:43, 17 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

:We prefer that people who welcome new users are constructive users that have been around for a while, since it's likely the new user will go to whoever welcomed them for help and advice. But you fit that category well enough, so I don't see any reason why you can't welcome new users. Go right ahead. Just put <nowiki>{{subst:welcome}}</nowiki> on a new user's talk, or click on it in the toolbar below, and it'll come up with the welcome message. Though just so it's put on the table, if there's someone that registered a while ago, and they haven't been welcomed, make sure they weren't blocked for some reason. We don't welcome users that are blocked indefinitely. Also, I'll answer just about any general question to the best of my abilities, as will the rest of the admins (Junior, regular, senior).

:I'd say in [[EP001]]; Pikachu is incapacitated by the Spearow, leaving Ash with no more Pokémon to use. If not that, then maybe one of the early Team Rocket battles (before they started blasting off), any of the gym battles Ash (or anyone else) lost, or even the Leagues.

It's usual situation when the trainer has left no Pokemon and so couldn't continue the battle.<br />
In AG068 Ash was hit by Ember and fell into a swoon although his Pokemon (Taillow) was '''not''' hurt. That's why he lose the battle with May and this situation is unusual. What do you think about it?<br />

'''Nimbasa City''' (Japanese: '''ライモンシティ''' ''Raimon City'') is a city located in central [[Unova]]. There are three routes connecting to it: to the south of the city is {{rt|4|Unova}} and the vast [[Desert Resort]], to the west is {{rt|5|Unova}}, and to the east is {{rt|16|Unova}}. Nimbasa City is the most populous city in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also the most densely populated city. In contrast to [[Castelia City]], which is the heart of business and economy in the Unova region, Nimbasa serves as the heart of leisure and entertainment. Nimbasa City is well known for its grand-scale landmarks such as the [[Pokémon Musical|Musical Theater]], [[Battle Subway|Gear Station]], [[Big Stadium and Small Court]], Battle Institute, and the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel and amusement park.<br />
<br />
[[Elesa]] is the Gym Leader of Nimbasa City. She specializes in the {{t|Electric}} type and hands out the {{Badge|Bolt}} upon defeat.<br />
<br />
==Places of interest==<br />
===Musical Theater===<br />
The Musical Theater is where the [[Pokémon Musical]] takes place, located in the north of Nimbasa. The player meets [[Bianca]] here upon their first arrival.<br />
<br />
Inside, the owner of the theater will give the {{player}} a Prop Case and show them how to dress up their Pokémon.<br />
<br />
===Gear Station===<br />
{{main|Battle Subway}}<br />
Gear Station is the central hub of the [[Battle Subway]]. All eight lines of the Battle Subway are accessed through Gear Station, including the only available route to [[Anville Town]]. The [[stats judge]] which can appraise a Pokémon's {{IV}}s is located in Gear Station as well.<br />
<br />
===Big Stadium and Small Court===<br />
{{main|Big Stadium and Small Court}}<br />
Nimbasa City's sports venues, Big Stadium and Small Court, are where sportspeople and sports fans go to practice and engage in both Pokémon battles and the sport of their choosing. They are also the places where sporting events are hosted in the [[Unova]] region. Big Stadium hosts sports requiring fields, specifically baseball, soccer, and football; meanwhile, Small Court hosts sports requiring courts, specifically tennis and basketball.<br />
<br />
Trainers may be battled daily at both facilities except during event hours.<br />
<br />
===Battle Institute===<br />
[[File:Battle Institute outside.jpg|230px|thumb|Outside the Battle Institute]]<br />
[[File:Battle Institute inside.jpg|230px|thumb|Inside the Battle Institute]]<br />
The Battle Institute (Japanese: '''トライアルハウス''' ''Trial House'') is a building just left of the Pokémon Center. The Trainers met here are the same ones that battle in the Battle Subway<!--, and the same Pokémon banned from the Battle Subway are banned from entering here, as well-->. The player can opt to fight five consecutive mock battles—called the Battle Test—of either single battles (requiring three Pokémon) or double battles (requiring four Pokémon). When battling, all Pokémon are auto-leveled to 50, whether they were below in level or above. Bag items are not permitted to be used. At the end of the fifth battle, the player is awarded a score and a rank.<br />
<br />
Unlike the Battle Subway, the Battle Institute does not require the player to save the game before participating.<br />
<br />
Each battle grows in difficulty, starting with pre-evolved Pokémon and potentially fighting [[legendary Pokémon]] by the end. Once the Battle Test begins, there is no quitting; losing one battle means continuing to the next, until all five battles are complete. The 'Run' command acts as a battle forfeit measure for that battle only. If it is not the fifth battle, the player's forfeit will trigger the next battle.<br />
<br />
The scoring system is:<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Each battle increases the max points that can be earned, meaning the max amounts of points one can earn in the first battle is lower than the max points one can earn in the last. Points are awarded depending on how many battles are won (no points are awarded for lost battles) and how well the player beats the opponent; fainted teammates count against the final score, as does damage taken.<br />
<br />
The scoring breakdown is as follows:<br />
* 1000 points per battle won<br />

===Rondez-View Ferris Wheel===<br />
The Rondez-View Ferris Wheel is a couples-only ferris wheel where N is battled as part of the main storyline, and after defeating Elesa, Trainers may be battled here daily. The Trainer varies with the season and the gender of the player, and—with the exception of Preschooler Winter—only their Japanese name is related to the season. After the battle, the Trainer will accompany the player on the wheel. In the Japanese version, the conversations on the Ferris wheel are laced with {{wp|double entendre}}s.<br />

Sometime prior to ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'', the trio started a mission which made it appear that {{MTR}} messed up and was fired, however, it was revealed in ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]'' that it was a plan to steal the gang's Pokémon.<br />
<br />
[[Nimbasa Town]], named after the city, is located on its outskirts.<br />
<br />

[[File:Jessie James AG.png|220px|thumb|Jessie and James]]<br />
'''RocketShipping''' (Japanese: '''コジムサ''' ''KojiMusa'') is the belief that [[Jessie]] and [[James]] of [[Team Rocket]] belong in a [[shipping|romantic relationship]]. It is also known as '''JAJL''', or ''Jessie and James Love''.<br />
<br />
==History of RocketShipping==<br />
[[File:RocketShipping.png|thumb|206px|An image from the epilogue to Electric Tale of Pikachu]]<br />
<br />
The term "RocketShipping" was the first time the suffix "[[Shipping]]" had been applied to any couple outside of the {{wp|X-Files}} fandom where it originated. Maria Rocket and other fans on the message board of [[TRHQ]] applied the term to Jessie and James. Other names for the pairing were coined later.<br />
<br />
The RocketShipping fandom has seen some changes over the years. In the beginning, there was only one kind of RocketShipper—the one who thought that Jessie and James were attracted to each other. Some fans hoped they would eventually become a full-fledged couple. The situation grew more intense when a member of TRHQ came across an untranslated graphic novel in a bookstore.<br />
<br />
Upon first glance, it appeared to be simply the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu volume 4|last volume]] of [[Toshihiro Ono]]'s [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, which was in the process of being released in the United States. However, inside the book was something that changed the face of the fandom. Inside [[ET20|the epilogue]] were two important scenes: one was James confessing his love to Jessie; the other was a full-page illustration in which Jessie and James were married and Jessie visibly pregnant. Most importantly of all, this was all official and approved by [[Nintendo]].<br />
<br />
The RocketShipping fan community went crazy. It finally had officially sanctioned proof that Jessie and James were a romantic couple. Some believed that it was only a matter of time before something similar happened in the TV anime series.<br />
<br />
Eventually, the famous manga was translated and released in the United States, and RocketShippers rejoiced now that they could hold the evidence in their own hands. Around the same time, a website named [[Pokemopolis]] was getting attention for rebutting the "evidence" found in the manga. Pokemopolis became and has remained the most prominent anti-Rocketshipping site in the Pokémon fandom, as well as the main proponent of the theory that James is gay. <br />
<br />
Around the same time, the number and frequency of the Rocketshippy hints on the anime decreased, along with other changes in characterization. As a result, the RocketShipping fan community split into several sects, each with different takes on RocketShipping.<br />
<br />
Nowadays, thanks to the episode ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'', RocketShipping has had a resurgence in popularity, and RocketShippers feel more confident about their ship than ever.<br />
<br />
==Sects of RocketShipping==<br />
These sects were in use to differentiate between various "types" of RocketShipper who each had a different perception of the ship. It should be noted, however, that they have not actively been in use in the fandom since the {{series|Advanced Generation}} of the anime started airing in America.<br />
<br />
'''RocketShippers'''<BR><br />
This is the general term for anyone who supports the idea of Jessie and James being a couple, whether past, present, or future. It is was also a term for a sect consisting of people who believe that Jessie and James are currently not in love but believed that they eventually would be.<br />
<br />
'''R*cketShippers'''<BR><br />
This was a more extreme type of RocketShipper, who believed that Jessie and James are currently attracted to each other. They fervently denied that James is anything but heterosexual.<br />
<br />
'''QueerShippers'''<BR><br />
Self-proclaimed "in-character RocketShipping". Supporters generally believed that James plays the role of a woman and Jessie plays the role of a man, but that they would become a couple nevertheless.<br />
<br />
'''WrongRocketShippers'''<BR><br />
Smaller sect which believed that Jessie and James are currently in a "friends with benefits" type relationship. They didn't necessarily believe that they are in love with each other, but did believe that they have some kind of secret physical relationship going on. They took a more relaxed and joking stance to the Ship.<br />
<br />
'''AntiRocketShippers'''<BR><br />
Supporters denied any sort of romantic relationship between Jessie and James. They liked to see them as best friends, but nothing more. In most cases, they believed that James is undeniably gay, based on the more camp portrayal of James by [[Eric Stuart]] and James' crossdressing. Opinions on Jessie's sexuality varied.<br />
<br />
==Evidence==<br />
The following is a list of points that point to a potential relationship between James and Jessie.<br />
===Anime evidence===<br />
====Jessie's hints====<br />
[[File:James Jessie SS012.png|220px|thumb|Jessie blushing after James accidentally falls on top of her in ''[[SS012|Training Daze!]]'']]<br />
* ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]''<br />
: Jessie blushes and looks at James adoringly when he is doing well in battle against Ash and company.<br />
* ''[[EP123|Spinarak Attack]]''<br />
: After James managed to break into the storeroom, Jessie started to flirt with him and appreciate his skills as she nudged him with her arm.<br />
* ''[[SS012|Training Daze!]]''<br />
: When James lets go of Meowth's tail and drops into the river, Jessie screams for him.<br />
: Despite having had twelve previous partners and managing to abandon them all without regret, when James is in the hospital and cannot join her for the final task, Jessie almost gives up. She then blushes when James accidentally falls on top of her.<br />
* ''[[AG066|Exploud and Clear!]]''<br />
: Jessie blushes after James plugs the holes in {{ho|Guy}}'s {{p|Exploud}}.<br />
* ''[[AG147|Sweet Baby James]]''<br />
: Jessie looked annoyed when James freaked out at the idea of being married to her.<br />
* ''[[AG154|Reversing the Charges]]''<br />
: When blasting off, James says that no matter how times this happens, he's fine as long as he's with with his {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} This causes Jessie to turn and look at him, very annoyed.<br />
* ''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]''<br />
: After Jessie, James, and Meowth decide to split up, [[Cassidy]] convinces James to join her. Jessie sees her drag him away and kicks a fire extinguisher in anger.<br />
* ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]''<br />
: Jessie tries to cheer James up by stealing {{AP|Buizel}} for him (and {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} for herself). When she sees how happy this has made him she smiles and holds his hands.<br />
* ''[[DP117|Noodles: Roamin' Off]]''<br />
: Once Jessie learns about James being in danger, she immediately rushes to look for him. She saves him by attacking Metagross with her Seviper and Yanmega, but then, she finds herself in danger as well, as she was nearly killed by Metagross along with James. When James apologized for getting her into this mess, she smiled and said that that's what friends were for.<br />
<br />
====James' hints====<br />
In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} when James watches Jessie participate in events under an assumed name, he keeps forgetting to call her by her fake name, and instead calls her Jessie before correcting himself. This could be taken as meaning he cares more about watching her participate than the current plan Team Rocket is up to. No one ever noticed James make this slip up. In ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]'', James cheered on Jessie using her real name and did not correct himself.<br />
* ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''<br />
: When it looked like Jessie and James were going to die, James says to Jessie "Someone, who said that beautiful people are destined to have a sad fate, must have meant us." implying that he thinks Jessie is beautiful.<br />
* ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]''<br />
: After Jessie is expelled from the test, James says in a determined voice that he'll do his best for her.<br />
* ''[[EP035|The Legend of Dratini]]''<br />
: When [[Kaiser]] starts shooting at Team Rocket, James smiles and tells Jessie to trust him, then grabs her by the waist and jumps off the roof to what he believed to be to safety. After they land, their parachute falls on top of them and they scramble to get out of it. During this, Jessie says "Where do you think you're touching?!" implying that James is doing more than simply trying to get out of the parachute.<br />
* ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]<br />
: After losing to [[Misty]] in the Princess Festival Contest, James hold Jessie's hands and tries to cheer her up by giving her a Team Rocket version of the doll set she wanted.<br />
: James dresses himself and their Pokémon as Hina Matsuri dolls to cheer Jessie up after her loss. <br />
* ''[[EP094|Snack Attack]]''<br />
: James blushes after Jessie compliments him on having a good memory.<br />
* ''[[EP141|Good 'Quil Hunting]]''<br />
: Jessie is feeling down and James holds her hands and tells her things to cheer her up. They also hug.<br />
* ''[[EP243|Hocus Pokemon!]]''<br />
: When Team Rocket is hanging on the cliff because of {{p|Murkrow}}'s attack, Jessie, James and Meowth are complaining what to do now. As the cliff shakes, James screams "No matter what happens to us, I want you all to know that I love you!" Jessie and Meowth respond with a light nod.<br />
* ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier]]''<br />
: As Regirock and Registeel use Lock-On attack to aim at Team Rocket, James immediately carries Jessie and tries to escape the dungeons, wanting to rescue her. <br />
* ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]''<br />
: When Jessie left to pursue a career in Contests, James was visibly hurt and wondered how strong their bond really was. He then ran off and cried. Later in the episode after Jessie saved him, James got on his knees and cried because he was happy she came back.<br />
* ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks]]''<br />
: Up until this episode, James has never liked Jessie using his Pokémon in Contests, mostly due to her mistreatment of {{TP|James|Chimecho}}. He now has no problem with it (most likely due to the fact Jessie has treated all his Pokémon very well since, and she is doing well in Contests) and even told {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} that's he counting on it and Jessie's third ribbon depends on it.<br />
* ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]''<br />
: When a sick Jessie overexerts herself and begins to faint, James catches her, helps her stand up, and supports her weight as he walks her back to bed, all the while having a comforting smile on his face. When Meowth says Jessie should rest, James agrees, saying with a caring tone of voice that, "That would be best." Later, James disguises himself as Jessalina and enters his first contest in her place. He ends up winning the ribbon for her.<br />
<br />
====Shared hints====<br />
Jessie and James have a tendency to hug or hold onto each other when they are scared (dubbed "fearhugs" by RocketShippers) or happy. Jessie and James also don't have a problem with physical contact such as sleeping on parts of the other's body or holding each other in ways that people who were simply friends normally wouldn't.<br />
<br />
* ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''<br />
: James wants the others to leave him behind, but Jessie tells him they'll go across together. James looks touched and hugs Jessie, begging her to not abandon him. She assures him that she won't.<br />
* ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''<br />
: When the [[Ghost of Maiden's Peak|ghost]] is dragging James away and he cries that he doesn't want to be separated from her, Jessie pulls out a bazooka and shoots the ghost. When James smiles at her with watery eyes and says her name adoringly, she says, "Don't get the wrong idea!" and attempts to hide the fact that she did it for his sake.<br />
* ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]''<br />
: At the end of the episode, Jessie is upset that James might have left to marry his fiance and inherit his money, but then he appears in their Meowth balloon and picks her up. James goes on to tell her he'd rather have his freedom with Team Rocket rather than money. They then smile and stare into each others eyes. They completely forget to pick up {{MTR}}.<br />
* ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]''<br />
: This episode gave the first evidence of Jessie and James sleeping next to each other. <br />
* ''[[SS012|Training Daze!]]''<br />
: In spite of being severely injured, James comes back to join their mission, to Jessie's shock. He assures her that he won't run away this time. She gets touched by his act and wipes away her tears.<br />
: Then, when James wanted to let go of Meowth's tail again, telling Jessie and Meowth to continue the test without him so they can become a good team, and Jessie refused to leave him behind, he let go nevertheless. However, that time, she made in time to grab onto his hand. When he told her to let him go and she refused again, he looked visibly touched.<br />
* ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]''<br />
: When [[Oscar and Andi]] assume Jessie and James are a couple, James looks confused and Jessie just ignores it. Since they didn't get upset at it like {{Ash}} and {{an|May}} did, it could be interpreted that neither has a problem with the idea. Later in the episode James was teasing Jessie about being ugly in a joking way, and Jessie smiled and covered her ears and pretended not to hear it. Since Jessie is obsessed with her appearance, her lack of getting mad about it and the joking way James did it might be interpreted as flirting. At the end of the episode when Jessie and James made up, they linked arms and smiled at each other.<br />
* ''[[AG141|Hail to the Chef]]''<br />
: Jessie and James were seen asleep on a bed with the covers partly over them. Jessie was sleeping on top of James.<br />
[[Image:DP133 Scale.png|250px|thumb|left|The scale in the Rocket motto]]<br />
* ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]''<br />
: When a {{shiny}} {{p|Metagross}} was about to kill Jessie and James, James smiled sweetly at Jessie and said that life wasn't a waste because he spent it with good friends. Jessie agreed and said that if there were another world after they die, they'd meet again there. James agreed to that, smiled, and no longer looked afraid.<br />
* ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''<br />
: One image from their motto shows Jessie and James on a set of scales with a pink heart symbol on it, seemingly at balance despite it swinging slightly.<br />
*''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''<br />
:Jessie and James hug each other tightly as the cloned pokemon get out of their containers.<br />
<br />
===Movie evidence===<br />
====Jessie's hints====<br />
* ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''<br />
: At the end of the movie Jessie and James are holding onto each other and talking about how they don't care about wishes anymore and are just happy to be alive. They smile and Jessie says she's fine just doing this.<br />
<br />
====James' hints====<br />
* ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''<br />
: After the leukocytes gets Jessie, James uses his {{TP|James|Cacnea}} to try and rescue Jessie. He gets out of the way when it tries to hug him showing how serious he is taking this. After he fails to rescue Jessie they both cry out to each other and she is dragged down. James stands there speechless, visibly heart broken, and then gets engulfed as well.<br />
<br />
====Shared hints====<br />
* ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''<br />
: Jessie and James are hugging each other throughout most of the movie.<br />
* ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''<br />
: Meowth says to Jessie and James "You guys act love-love all the time", causing Jessie and James to get upset and blush. A few minutes later they are seen hugging each other.<br />
* ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''<br />
: Jessie and James are seen holding onto each other after they are freed from the leukocytes.<br />
<br />
===Non anime evidence===<br />
* ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]''<br />
: At the end of the manga, Jessie and James end up married with a child on the way, and in the epilogue there is a panel in which we see a flashback to James confessing his love to Jessie. There is also some suggestive physical contact between the two throughout the manga.<br />
* ''[[It's a White Tomorrow, Team Rocket!]]<br />
: When Jessie, James and [[Mondo]] are about to be attacked by a hoard of {{p|Beedrill}}, they recite the lines of a famous {{wp|Kabuki}} scene when two lovers do a double suicide.<br />
* ''[[Pokémon Puzzle League]]''<br />
: During stage five in The Spa, they are dressed as a bridal couple, with the Bridal March as the theme.<br />
<br />
==Similarities==<br />
* Jessie and James have both owned {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon until the {{series|Advanced Generation}}.<br />
* They both have a similar style of fashion and always coordinate their outfits. They have also donned various disguises pretending to be a couple, most notably as a couple getting married, as {{p|Volbeat}} and {{p|Illumise}}, and wearing outfits similar to the ones [[Oscar and Andi]] wore, which may be a reference to the the manga ''{{wp|The Rose of Versailles}}''.<br />
* Jessie and James frequently use each other's Pokémon. Their Pokémon have rarely ever had a problem with this, and sometimes are happy about it.<br />
* James' {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon have occasionally "attacked" Jessie the same way they do James. Since James' Pokémon do it out of affection, some RocketShippers use this, among other things, to show that Jessie and James have a close relationship.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Jessie James fear hug.png|220px|thumb|Jessie and James' first fearhug in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'']]<br />
* Both [[James's parents|James's mother]] and [[Jessiebelle|fiancée]] look very similar to Jessie.<br />
* Jessie and James' first fearhug was at the end of the episode ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''.<br />
* Jessie and James have a {{wp|ramen}} shop named after them.<br />
* Jessie and James have had voice actors with prominent roles in the {{wp|Slayers}} anime series. Jessie's seiyuu, [[Megumi Hayashibara]], is also seiyuu to the main protagonist and heroine of Slayers, {{wp|Lina Inverse}}, while James's most famous English voice actor, [[Eric Stuart]], dubbed the voice for Lina's self-proclaimed guardian and constant traveling companion, {{wp|Gourry Gabriev}}. Incidentally, the two characters fell in love with each other over time.<br />
* Due to a mistranslation before release of ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', it was mistakenly thought for a time that the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] was the future son of Jessie and James.<br />

'''A Full Course Tag Battle!''' (Japanese: '''レストラン七つ星！タッグバトルでフルコース！！''' ''Seven Stars Restaurant! Tag Battle for a Full Course!!'') is the 76th episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 542nd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on April 24, 2008 and in the United States on September 13, 2008.<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
==Synopsis==<br />
{{ashfr|The group}} are waiting at Port Valor on the [[Valor Lakefront]]. {{an|Dawn}} excitedly tells {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} that they will get to meet {{an|May}}. Just then a {{TP|May|Beautifly}} flies across the lake towards them. Dawn scans it with her [[Pokédex]], and the Beautifly lands on {{Ash|Ash's}} head. Ash wonders if he knows this Beautifly as a ferry comes towards them with May waving from the bow.<br />
<br />
After greeting each other on the pier May gives Ash a wooden {{p|Teddiursa}} and {{an|Brock}} a wooden {{p|Ursaring}}. She then give Dawn a present, which turns out to be a {{p|Piplup}} necklace. {{TRT}} are spying on the group, and grumpily note the arrival of the "[[Hoenn]] [[Twerp]]ette", while rhyming. Their stomachs then rumble and they complain about being broke.<br />
<br />
The group are walking up some stairs and Ash asks after [[Max]]. May tells her friends that he is back at the [[Petalburg Gym]], taking care of [[Norman|her father's]] Pokémon, just like Brock showed him, making Norman very proud. Dawn then asks how long May has been in [[Sinnoh]], and May replies that she has been there for three days, as she wanted to do something in [[Snowpoint City]] first. She then sends out her newly evolved {{TP|May|Glaceon}} and after Dawn checks it on her Pokédex May explains that there is an ice cave [[Sinnoh Route 217|near Snowpoint City]], where an ice crystal makes {{p|Eevee}} evolve. She says that it would be fun to return to [[Johto]] with a newly evolved Pokémon. She then shows Dawn her three ribbons, but not before saying that she can't beat either [[Drew]] or [[Harley]] at the moment.<br />
<br />
May then tells Dawn that Ash told her all about her, including her two recent losses in the first round of the {{pkmn|Contest}}s, however May explains that her Johto Contest Campaign isn't going very well either, so the [[Wallace Cup]] should be both of their comeback contests. Ash's stomach then rumbles, and May reveals that she has made reservations at [[Seven Stars Restaurant|the most popular restaurant]] in Valor Lakefront. <br />
<br />
The group enter the restaurant and are greeted by the Maitre d'. He leads them to the next set of doors, but a young man bursts out of them and says that he will go and train, and that he will eat there if it is the last thing he does, before running off. The Maitre d' then lead them through the doors to a battlefield and explains that only those who beat the proprietor and his fiancee are allowed to eat at the restaurant.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile Team Rocket are looking into the restaurant through a window at the back, wishing they could get in. {{MTR}} reminds them that they are the "bad guys", and so don't earn their meals, they ''steal'' them.<br />
<br />
[[Roman]] and [[Kylie]] then introduce themselves, and the Maitre d' suggests that the group should battle two at a time and have tag battles. May and Dawn decide to pair up, and so Brock and Ash get ready to battle first. Brock sends out {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} while Ash sends in {{AP|Pikachu}}; Roman sends out {{p|Snorlax}} and Kylie sends out {{p|Munchlax}}. Dawn scans them both on her Pokédex, commenting that "evolution pairs are popular."<br />
<br />
Roman suggests that they all launch their moves at the same time, and Ash and Brock agree. The judge then starts the battle. Snorlax uses {{m|Mega Punch}}, Munchlax uses {{m|Giga Impact}}, Sudowoodo uses {{m|Double-Edge}} and Pikachu uses {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Double-Edge breaks through Giga Impact, and Pikachu dodges Mega Punch before hitting with Volt Tackle. Both Snorlax and Munchlax are knocked out. Ash and Brock express their surprise.<br />
<br />
Roman says that the winners may proceed to the restaurant and place orders, but Ash says that it is all of them or none of them. Roman sends out {{p|Girafarig}} and Kylie sends out {{p|Drifloon}}. May comments on how cute Drifloon is. Dawn then sends in Piplup, and May sends out {{TP|May|Blaziken}} which is looking stronger than ever, which Dawn checks on her Pokédex.<br />
<br />
Just as the judge is about to start the battle there is a loud crash and the waiter runs in from the restaurant saying that all the food has been stolen. Everyone is shocked, and May's eyes grow red and she is surrounded by fire, commenting that whoever did it won't get away with it. This causes Dawn to comment that she thinks May has turned into a {{type|Fire}}, and Brock to comment that one thing that will drive May over the edge is someone stealing her food. Dawn and Piplup wonder what happened to their "Princess".<br />
<br />
The whole dining area looks like a bomb-site, and the Chef reports that every morsel of food has been stolen. Roman starts to despair, but May sends out her {{TP|May|Munchlax}}. Pikachu runs up to greet it and May suggests that Kylie send out hers too. Both Munchlax dash about the restaurant to pick up the scent of the food, and May's then runs off happily. Kylie's is still running back and forth across the room, which makes her comment that May's Munchlax's sense of smell must be better. Brock suggests that it is its "sense of stuffing its face", which May objects to. Munchlax then runs off outside. The group give chase, and May tells Kylie and Roman to leave it to them.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile Team Rocket are stuffing their faces. Munchlax, and the group, discover them, so they finish the food off before any of them can react. They then perform their motto.<br />
<br />
May is amazed by the new motto, but when Brock points out a fridge nearby, she gets angry again. Brock and Ash are about to intervene, but May and Dawn stop them, reminding them that it is their turn; May sends out Glaceon and Dawn sends out {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}. {{TP|James|Carnivine}} uses {{m|Bullet Seed}} and Seviper uses {{m|Poison Tail}}, but both are countered with a double {{m|Ice Beam}}, pushing them back into Team Rocket and freezing them all. Glaceon then uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to lift them into the air, and Buneary uses {{m|Bounce}} to send them blasting off. Buneary then starts fawning over Pikachu, which May notices, causing Dawn to comment that Buneary is a big fan of Pikachu.<br />
<br />
Back at the restaurant, Roman thanks them. Ash says that May and Dawn did it, and May and Dawn say it was really the Pokémon. Kylie then tells them that she and Roman decided to let them eat without having a battle, but the chef tells them that it will take some time to prepare the food, as it must be made fresh. May and Dawn then decide to have their tag battle wile they are waiting.<br />
<br />
Girafarig and Drifloon face off against Piplup and Blaziken. Girafarig uses {{m|Bite}}, Drifloon uses {{m|Constrict}}, Blaziken uses {{m|Blaze Kick}} and Piplup uses {{m|BubbleBeam}}. Drifloon spins to bat away the BubbleBeam and grabs Piplup with Constrict while Girafarig dodges Blaze Kick before hitting Blaziken with Bite. Kylie says that it isn't easy to escape her Drifloon's Constrict, so Dawn tells Piplup to use {{m|Whirlpool}}. Both Drifloon and Girafarig are caught in the Whirlpool and pushed up towards the ceiling.<br />
<br />
May tells Dawn to get Piplup to use BubbleBeam, and when it hits she tells Blaziken to jump above them and use {{m|Fire Spin}}. The two attacks meet with Girafarig and Drifloon in the middle, creating the fusion of fire and water and sending out blue and orange sparks. The force of the attacks causes a small explosion and Blaziken lands behind Piplup. When the smoke clears both Girafarig and Drifloon are unable to battle. May and Dawn celebrate with high fives and Blaziken stands up with Piplup standing on its arm. Everyone compliments the battlers and then the Maitre d' announces that lunch is ready.<br />
<br />
That evening the group are standing on a balcony overlooking [[Lake Valor]]. May asks Ash if he still has his half of the {{to|Terracotta}} [[Ribbon]], and both hold their halves up. May tells the group that it has become her lucky charm, causing Dawn to show the group the ribbon that [[Johanna|her mother]] gave her, which is her lucky charm. Ash then reveals to May that [[Wallace]] suggested he enter the Wallace Cup with {{TP|Ash|Buizel}}, shocking May. And so Ash, May and Dawn all prepare to enter the Wallace Cup, all determined to win.<br />
<br />
==Major events==<br />
* {{an|May}} arrives in [[Sinnoh]] for the [[Wallace Cup]].<br />
* {{an|Dawn}} and May meet for the first time.<br />
* May's {{p|Eevee}} is revealed to have [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|May|Glaceon}} while in [[Snowpoint City]] and have learned {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Much like {{an|Misty}}'s guest appearance in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' and ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage]]'', May makes a return.<br />
*An instrumental version of ''[[I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~]]'' is used during the battle with [[Team Rocket]]. ''[[Pokémon Symphonic Medley]]'' is also used as background music.<br />
**On another note, ''I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~'' was left in the dub as the background music for the first time.<br />
*[[Roman]] and [[Kylie]] are based on the {{tc|Rich Boy}} and {{tc|Lady}} of the same names who can be battled in the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.<br />
* Instead of [[Professor Oak]]'s Pokémon lecture, the end of the episode featured a memorial to ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. This is part of a countdown to ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.<br />
* The dub title is the first dub title since ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'' to simply be a translation of the Japanese title.<br />
*Ash makes a reference to [[AG153|his own battle]] against the combination of fire and water.<br />
*This episode aired in the U.S. on the same day that {{game|Platinum}} was released in Japan. <br />
*When May's Johto ribbons are shown, it is observed that the last two ribbons (if May should earn them) would not have space inside the box, and would poke out slightly.<br />
* [[Ted Lewis]] returns to the series in this episode under the pseudonym of '''Ed Paul''', having been laid off with every other voice actor except for [[Jimmy Zoppi]] and [[Kayzie Rogers]] after the eighth season of Pokémon. This makes him the third of the main cast to return to the series (the first two being [[Rachael Lillis]] and [[Maddie Blaustein]] (although she died shortly afterwards)).<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:DP076 error.png|thumb|May's black glove error.]]<br />
*In two scenes, one of May's gloves is colored like Ash's gloves.<br />
*While Kylie's Munchlax used {{m|Giga Impact}} in this episode, it [[Anime move errors|can't learn it in the games]].<br />
*The [[Pokédex]] accidentally says that {{p|Snorlax}} can eat 400 pounds of food instead of 900. <br />
**In the Japanese dub, the Pokédex states that Snorlax can eat 400 ''kilograms'' of food.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
*In one scene, {{p|Drifloon}} was colored pink, instead of the original purple. This scene was changed into normal purple in the dub.<br />

Tag Battle for a Full Course!!'') is the 76th episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 542nd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]].

{{spoilers}}<br />
==Synopsis==<br />
{{ashfr|The group}} are waiting at Port Valor on the [[Valor Lakefront]]. {{an|Dawn}} excitedly tells {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} that they will get to meet {{an|May}}. Just then a {{TP|May|Beautifly}} flies across the lake towards them. Dawn scans it with her [[Pokédex]], and the Beautifly lands on {{Ash|Ash's}} head. Ash wonders if he knows this Beautifly as a ferry comes towards them with May waving from the bow.<br />
<br />
After greeting each other on the pier May gives Ash a wooden {{p|Teddiursa}} and {{an|Brock}} a wooden {{p|Ursaring}}. She then give Dawn a present, which turns out to be a {{p|Piplup}} necklace. {{TRT}} are spying on the group, and grumpily note the arrival of the "[[Hoenn]] [[Twerp]]ette", while rhyming. Their stomachs then rumble and they complain about being broke.<br />
<br />
The group are walking up some stairs and Ash asks after [[Max]]. May tells her friends that he is back at the [[Petalburg Gym]], taking care of [[Norman|her father's]] Pokémon, just like Brock showed him, making Norman very proud. Dawn then asks how long May has been in [[Sinnoh]], and May replies that she has been there for three days, as she wanted to do something in [[Snowpoint City]] first. She then sends out her newly evolved {{TP|May|Glaceon}} and after Dawn checks it on her Pokédex May explains that there is an ice cave [[Sinnoh Route 217|near Snowpoint City]], where an ice crystal makes {{p|Eevee}} evolve. She says that it would be fun to return to [[Johto]] with a newly evolved Pokémon. She then shows Dawn her three ribbons, but not before saying that she can't beat either [[Drew]] or [[Harley]] at the moment.<br />
<br />
May then tells Dawn that Ash told her all about her, including her two recent losses in the first round of the {{pkmn|Contest}}s, however May explains that her Johto Contest Campaign isn't going very well either, so the [[Wallace Cup]] should be both of their comeback contests. Ash's stomach then rumbles, and May reveals that she has made reservations at [[Seven Stars Restaurant|the most popular restaurant]] in Valor Lakefront. Meanwhile Team Rocket grumble about how they always eat well.<br />
<br />
The group enter the restaurant and are greeted by the Maitre d'. He leads them to the next set of doors, but a young man bursts out of them and says that he will go and train, and that he will eat there if it is the last thing he does, before running off. The Maitre d' then lead them through the doors to a battlefield and explains that only those who beat the proprietor and his fiancee are allowed to eat at the restaurant.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile Team Rocket are looking into the restaurant through a window at the back, wishing they could get in. {{MTR}} reminds them that they are the "bad guys", and so don't earn their meals, they ''steal'' them.<br />
<br />
[[Roman]] and [[Kylie]] then introduce themselves, and the Maitre d' suggests that the group should battle two at a time and have tag battles. May and Dawn decide to pair up, and so Brock and Ash get ready to battle first. Brock sends out {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} while Ash sends in {{AP|Pikachu}}; Roman sends out {{p|Snorlax}} and Kylie sends out {{p|Munchlax}}. Dawn scans them both on her Pokédex, commenting that "evolution pairs are popular."<br />
<br />
Roman suggests that they all launch their moves at the same time, and Ash and Brock agree. The judge then starts the battle. Snorlax uses {{m|Mega Punch}}, Munchlax uses {{m|Giga Impact}}, Sudowoodo uses {{m|Double-Edge}} and Pikachu uses {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Double-Edge breaks through Giga Impact, and Pikachu dodges Mega Punch before hitting with Volt Tackle. Both Snorlax and Munchlax are knocked out. Ash and Brock express their surprise.<br />
<br />
Roman says that the winners may proceed to the restaurant and place orders, but Ash says that it is all of them or none of them. Roman sends out {{p|Girafarig}} and Kylie sends out {{p|Drifloon}}. May comments on how cute Drifloon is. Dawn then sends in Piplup, and May sends out {{TP|May|Blaziken}} which is looking stronger than ever, which Dawn checks on her Pokédex.<br />
<br />
Just as the judge is about to start the battle there is a loud crash and the waiter runs in from the restaurant saying that all the food has been stolen. Everyone is shocked, and May's eyes grow red and she is surrounded by fire, commenting that whoever did it won't get away with it. This causes Dawn to comment that she thinks May has turned into a {{type|Fire}}, and Brock to comment that one thing that will drive May over the edge is someone stealing her food. Dawn and Piplup wonder what happened to their "Princess".<br />
<br />
The whole dining area looks like a bomb-site, and the Chef reports that every morsel of food has been stolen. Roman starts to despair, but May sends out her {{TP|May|Munchlax}}. Pikachu runs up to greet it and May suggests that Kylie send out hers too. Both Munchlax dash about the restaurant to pick up the scent of the food, and May's then runs off happily. Kylie's is still running back and forth across the room, which makes her comment that May's Munchlax's sense of smell must be better. Brock suggests that it is its "sense of stuffing its face", which May objects to. Munchlax then runs off outside. The group give chase, and May tells Kylie and Roman to leave it to them.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile Team Rocket are stuffing their faces. Munchlax, and the group, discover them, so they finish the food off before any of them can react. They then perform their motto.<br />
<br />
May is amazed by the new motto, but when Brock points out a fridge nearby, she gets angry again. Brock and Ash are about to intervene, but May and Dawn stop them, reminding them that it is their turn; May sends out Glaceon and Dawn sends out {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}. {{TP|James|Carnivine}} uses {{m|Bullet Seed}} and Seviper uses {{m|Poison Tail}}, but both are countered with a double {{m|Ice Beam}}, pushing them back into Team Rocket and freezing them all. Glaceon then uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to lift them into the air, and Buneary uses {{m|Bounce}} to send them blasting off. Buneary then starts fawning over Pikachu, which May notices, causing Dawn to comment that Buneary is a big fan of Pikachu.<br />
<br />
Back at the restaurant, Roman thanks them. Ash says that May and Dawn did it, and May and Dawn say it was really the Pokémon. Kylie then tells them that she and Roman decided to let them eat without having a battle, but the chef tells them that it will take some time to prepare the food, as it must be made fresh. May and Dawn then decide to have their tag battle wile they are waiting.<br />
<br />
Girafarig and Drifloon face off against Piplup and Blaziken. Girafarig uses {{m|Bite}}, Drifloon uses {{m|Constrict}}, Blaziken uses {{m|Blaze Kick}} and Piplup uses {{m|BubbleBeam}}. Drifloon spins to bat away the BubbleBeam and grabs Piplup with Constrict while Girafarig dodges Blaze Kick before hitting Blaziken with Bite. Kylie says that it isn't easy to escape her Drifloon's Constrict, so Dawn tells Piplup to use {{m|Whirlpool}}. Both Drifloon and Girafarig are caught in the Whirlpool and pushed up towards the ceiling.<br />
<br />
May tells Dawn to get Piplup to use BubbleBeam, and when it hits she tells Blaziken to jump above them and use {{m|Fire Spin}}. The two attacks meet with Girafarig and Drifloon in the middle, creating the fusion of fire and water and sending out blue and orange sparks. The force of the attacks causes a small explosion and Blaziken lands behind Piplup. When the smoke clears both Girafarig and Drifloon are unable to battle. May and Dawn celebrate with high fives and Blaziken stands up with Piplup standing on its arm. Everyone compliments the battlers and then the Maitre d' announces that lunch is ready.<br />
<br />
That evening the group are standing on a balcony overlooking [[Lake Valor]]. May asks Ash if he still has his half of the {{to|Terracotta}} [[Ribbon]], and both hold their halves up. May tells the group that it has become her lucky charm, causing Dawn to show the group the ribbon that [[Johanna|her mother]] gave her, which is her lucky charm. Ash then reveals to May that [[Wallace]] suggested he enter the Wallace Cup with {{TP|Ash|Buizel}}, shocking May. And so Ash, May and Dawn all prepare to enter the Wallace Cup, all determined to win.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Much like {{an|Misty}}'s guest appearance in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' and ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage]]'', May makes a return.<br />
*An instrumental version of ''[[I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~]]'' is used during the battle with [[Team Rocket]]. ''[[Pokémon Symphonic Medley]]'' is also used as background music.<br />
**On another note, ''I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~'' was left in the dub as the background music for the first time.<br />
*[[Roman]] and [[Kylie]] are based on the {{tc|Rich Boy}} and {{tc|Lady}} of the same names who can be battled in the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.<br />
* Instead of [[Professor Oak]]'s Pokémon lecture, the end of the episode featured a memorial to ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. This is part of a countdown to ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.<br />
* The dub title is the first dub title since ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'' to simply be a translation of the Japanese title.<br />
*Ash makes a reference to [[AG153|his own battle]] against the combination of fire and water.<br />
*This episode aired in the U.S. on the same day that {{game|Platinum}} was released in Japan. <br />
*When May's Johto ribbons are shown, it is observed that the last two ribbons (if May should earn them) would not have space inside the box, and would poke out slightly.<br />
* [[Ted Lewis]] returns to the series in this episode under the pseudonym of '''Ed Paul''', having been laid off with every other voice actor except for [[Jimmy Zoppi]] and [[Kayzie Rogers]] after the eighth season of Pokémon. This makes him the third of the main cast to return to the series (the first two being [[Rachael Lillis]] and [[Maddie Blaustein]] (although she died shortly afterwards)).<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:DP076 error.png|thumb|May's black glove error.]]<br />
*In two scenes, one of May's gloves is colored like Ash's gloves.<br />
*While Kylie's Munchlax used {{m|Giga Impact}} in this episode, it [[Anime move errors|can't learn it in the games]].<br />
*The [[Pokédex]] accidentally says that {{p|Snorlax}} can eat 400 pounds of food instead of 900. <br />
**In the Japanese dub, the Pokédex states that Snorlax can eat 400 ''kilograms'' of food.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
*In one scene, {{p|Drifloon}} was colored pink, instead of the original purple. This scene was changed into normal purple in the dub.<br />

'''Go Go Ludicolo!''' (Japanese: '''踊るバトルだ！ルンパッパ！！''' ''Dancing Battle! {{tt|Runpappa|Ludicolo}}!'') is the 67th episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 341st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on March 11, 2004 and in the United States on February 26, 2005.<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
== Synopsis ==<br />
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} travel to [[Petalburg City]] so Ash can obtain his 5th [[Badge|Gym Badge]], they decide to take a break and have a picnic. Ash decides to take out all of his Pokémon out of their [[Poké Ball]]s and introduces the team to his newly evolved {{AP|Grovyle|Sceptile}} with all of the team being delighted except for {{AP|Corphish}}. While Corphish tries getting fruit for the gang but eventually fails due to his overwhelming power, Grovyle {{m|Leaf Blade|cuts down}} the fruit and they can happily eat, making Corphish more jealous of Grovyle. Then, a {{p|Ludicolo}} suddenly appears (belonging to a Trainer named {{ho|Poncho}}). Poncho, after examining {{TP|Brock|Lombre|Ludicolo}} asks to have a battle. If any of the gang lost, they would have to give Poncho their sandwiches, and if Poncho lost, he would buy them some cheeseburgers. Poncho chooses his trusty Ludicolo, And although Ash was probably going to choose {{AP|Pikachu}}, Grovyle came wanting to battle, but not before Corphish would interfere. In the end Corphish loses, but does not admit defeat and runs off. The gang then figures out that they have been praising Grovyle far more than the now ignored Corphish, causing the aforementioned Pokemon to feel inferior. {{TRT}} then sees Ludicolo, his trainer and Corphish having lunch and have one of their fantasies involving {{an|Giovanni|the boss}} and Ludicolo. Team Rocket captures Poncho and Ludicolo but Corphish saves the two and helps lead Ash and friends find him. In the end, they all have lunch and go to Petalburg City, where [[Norman]] awaits.<br />

'''May''' (Japanese: '''ハルカ''' ''Haruka'') is a ten-year-old [[Pokémon Coordinator]] from the {{pkmn|anime}} and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}. Her goal is to compete in [[Pokémon Contest]]s and win [[ribbon]]s, win the [[Grand Festival]]s of the different regions, and become a top {{pkmn|Coordinator}}. She traveled through [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]] with Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and her little brother [[Max]]. She is the daughter of [[Norman]] and [[Caroline]], and her [[starter Pokémon]] was a {{p|Torchic}} given to her by [[Professor Birch]].<br />
<br />
==Character==<br />
[[Image:May Anime Artwork.png|thumb|left|150px|May in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]<br />
May is a young {{pkmn|Coordinator}} who loves shopping and eating treats. She has a particular fondness for food, especially noodles. When someone steals her food, she gets angered, to the point of yelling at people. May is generally very sweet and optimistic, though she shows a tougher side sometimes, such as when she argues with her little brother, [[Max]]. Even though they argue often, she has shown that she deeply cares for her brother. [[File:May rage.png|thumb|right|230px|May's rage at her loss of food]]<br />
<br />
She loves cute {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, dazzling techniques, and has a tendency to rely on luck, often using her {{TP|May|Skitty}}'s {{m|Assist}} or her {{TP|May|Munchlax}}'s {{m|Metronome}}. She sometimes takes an interest in helping other people with their romantic problems. She loves making her own [[Pokéblock]]s with recipes that she thinks up, including ones called "May's Purple Surprise" and "May's Pink Surprise" (Japanese: ''Haruka's Delicious'' and ''Haruka's Delicious 2''). The only ones who liked her Purple Surprise were [[May's Munchlax|her Munchlax]] and [[Jessie]]. "May's Pink Surprise" came from the recipe for food {{an|Professor Oak}} uses to feed [[Ash's Snorlax]]. Thus, after May [[AG118|first fed]] it to her Munchlax, it was automatically made full. This was subsequently used to feed Munchlax to prevent it from eating the food of others.<br />
<br />
[[File:May Wallace Cup.png|thumb|right|230px|May at the [[Wallace Cup]]]]<br />
It was revealed by [[Max]] in ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'' that as a small child, May was afraid of Pokémon. There was one instance in particular that truly embarrassed May. One day she was swimming in the ocean and was suddenly surrounded by a school of {{p|Tentacool}}. May got scared and called to her parents. She was wearing a blue swimsuit and a matching blue swimmer's cap, leading her mother to believe she was actually a Tentacool. Her mother tried to catch her with one of her [[Poké Ball]]s. [[Harley|One of May's opponents in a contest]] recorded Max telling him this to embarrass May into losing.<br />
<br />
When May debuted in the anime, she did not like Pokémon at all and was only interested in becoming a [[Pokémon Trainer]] so she could travel. Everyone expected her to become a Trainer, to follow in her [[Gym Leader]] [[Norman|father's]] footsteps. However, after seeing a Contest in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', she decided to become a Pokémon Coordinator. Though she was initially shown to not know much about Pokémon or [[move|attack]]s, she gradually gained experience through her journey and soon became a talented coordinator, with her skill being displayed in her [[Grand Festival]] rankings in the [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]] regions. {{an|Dawn}} once referred to her as the "Princess of Hoenn" when they met.<br />
[[Image:Younger May.png|thumb|left|Younger May, in a flashback]]<br />
<br />
As a Coordinator, May was able to learn more about Pokémon. For her Contests, she was able to come up with different attack combinations. She was able to use these combinations in battle. An example of this would be using her Combusken's {{m|Fire Spin}} and her Squirtle's {{m|Bubble}} to create a combination of fire and water, dubbed ''Fire and Water Whirlwind'' by [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]]. This even got a [[Harley|rival]] of hers mad, thinking she thought he was not worthy of the move so May did not use it against him.<br />
<br />
During her journey, she finds a rival in [[Drew]], a skilled and sometimes arrogant Coordinator who was one of her main inspirations to try harder to further her skills. Another rival of hers, [[Harley]], is a flamboyant man who goes to extremes to beat May. At the Kanto Grand Festival, May competed against [[Solidad]], an experienced Coordinator to whom she lost to in the semi-finals. At the end of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, she left to compete with Drew, Harley and Solidad in the [[Johto]] region, aiming to find her own style. May has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in [[Hoenn]], [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].<br />
<br />
May reappeared from ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' to ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' to participate in the [[Wallace Cup]] alongside {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and [[Zoey]]. During this period, she wore the {{v|Emerald}} of her outfit. May made it all the way to the finals of the Wallace Cup, but narrowly lost to Dawn in the end. <br />
<br />
May has a personal [[List of Japanese ending themes|ending theme song]], ''[[I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~]]'', performed by [[KAORI]]. It was first used as background music in the episode ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'' and again in next episode, ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love]]''. The theme was also used in the Appeals Round at the Wallace Cup for May's performance.<br />

'''Dawn''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリ''' ''Hikari'') is a ten-year-old [[Pokémon Coordinator]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}. Her goal is to become a great [[Pokémon Coordinator]] like her [[mom#In the anime|mother]], [[Johanna]]. Her [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] was a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} that she received from [[Professor Rowan]] in the [[DP001|first ''Diamond & Pearl'' series episode]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:DP001.png|thumb|left|Dawn's debut appearance]]<br />
Dawn began her journey with her Piplup after bonding with it. Unlike {{an|May}}, she knew from the beginning that she wanted to be a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}. After meeting Ash and Brock, she decided to journey with them, as their experience would likely be helpful to her. Like Ash, she is lucky enough to have seen a [[legendary Pokémon]] at the start of her journey, the projected soul of {{p|Mesprit}} in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]''. <br />
<br />
Dawn also had a [[bicycle]], but like {{an|Misty}}'s and {{an|May}}'s bikes, [[Ash's Pikachu]] destroyed it with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, she did not mention this to Ash until more than 30 episodes after it happened. Befor her leaving she planned to take a large suitcase full of dresses with her, but her mother made her leave it at home due to its impracticality. She had a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, and her Contest cry is "Spotlight!" (English) or "Charm up!" (Japanese). Johanna gave Dawn the first [[ribbon]] she earned as a Coordinator for good luck. <br />
<br />
Dawn lost her first {{pkmn|Contest}} in ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival!]]'' to her new [[rival]], Zoey who became one of her close friends after the contest and who later helps Dawn through many tough times. After her loss, her mother told her not to rely on her but on her friends. Eventually, in her [[DP027|second official Contest]], Dawn narrowly beat her childhood rival {{si|Kenny}} to gain her first [[ribbon]].<br />
<br />
[[File:DP012.png|thumb|left|Dawn and Zoey]]<br />
She later trains with Zoey in coming up with different contest moves regularly as evidenced by ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. However she was not able to perfect {{AP|Buizel}}'s [[Ash's Buizel#Moves improvised|Ice Aqua Jet]] despite coming up with the idea. Ash later accomplishes this in the [[Wallace Cup]].<br />
<br />
Despite her confidence and contest training, in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'', when she competed in the [[Hearthome City]] Contest, she lost in the Appeal Round, making her the first of the main characters to lose a Contest by losing in the appeal round. In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she lost the Appeal Round for the second time in a row. This marked a notable change in Dawn's character. After the second blow to her self-esteem, she didn't know what to do and was still very upset throughout ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''. After this, she became more focused and regained her confidence after {{pkmn|battle|battling}} [[Maylene]] in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''. Dawn began to practice in earnest and eventually was able to break her losing streak in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' and was able to win the [[Wallace Cup]] after narrowly defeating {{an|May}} in the final round. Dawn has since maintained her new found focus and humility. <br />
<br />
[[File:DP067.png|thumb|right|Dawn's Gym battle]]<br />
After learning of the next Contest in [[Celestic Town]], she became very dedicated in her training, and actually overworked her Pokémon in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''. Due to her hard work, she managed to win the Contest in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]''. One of Dawn's combinations in that contest gave {{Ash}} the inspiration for one of his notable tactic which he uses later on, the [[Counter Shield]]. In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', her {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} began to disobey her after [[Evolution|evolving]]. Despite this, she was still eager to train it well.<br />
<br />
This was evidenced by how much she cared for Mamoswine in ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]'' when both of them got lost and Mamsowine was injured. Using the medical knowledge she got from {{an|Brock}} in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', she was able to heal Mamoswine making it obey her. However Mamoswine still rebels and disobeys Dawn in the finals of the {{town|Lilypad}} {{pkmn|Contest}} in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success! ]]'' due to its short temper making her lose the contest. However she remains calm and remains optimistic as always.<br />
<br />
Her encounter with {{an|Mesprit}} and Ash and Brock's encounters with {{an|Azelf}} and {{an|Uxie}} respectively was revealed to be fate as [[Team Galactic]] capture the [[lake guardians]] to for the awakening of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} in the [[Spear Pillar]]. The lake guardians communicate telepathically with Ash, Dawn and Brock and teleport them to the [[Team Galactic HQ]]. Eventually with the help of [[Cynthia]], they foil Team Galactic's plans and free the lake guardians.<br />
<br />
With the help of [[Candice]] and [[Zoey]], after many failed attempts, she comes up with a new tactic, the Flame Ice. She uses this tactic later on in the [[Daybreak Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}. <br />
<br />
[[File:Young Dawn.png|thumb|250px|left|Young Dawn]]<br />
While she is the only female main character not to have a sibling, she has two childhood friends that appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{si|Kenny}} and [[Leona]], both of whom call her '''Dee Dee''' (Japanese: '''ピカリ''' ''Pikari''). <br />
Dawn has prevented them from telling Ash and Brock about the reason why she has this nickname, but in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', it was revealed that the reason for the name was due to her hair glittering (ピカピカ ''pikapika'') after being shocked by the class pets in her kindergarten, {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}, making it appear that she had '''D'''iamond '''D'''andruff. Due to the trauma from being teased by her entire class with the nickname, she has a certain fear of Plusle and Minun. <br />
<br />
[[Ursula]] uses this against Dawn in the by using Plusle and Minun and deliberately attempting to shock her hair. Even though Dawn temporarily succumbed to her trauma, with Mamoswine's and Cyndaquil's encouragement, she was able to get over her trauma and defeat Ursula and winning her final fifth ribbon in the process as well allowing her to participate in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]].<br />
<br />
She later trains in ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'' where she comes up with a new tactic, the Ice Chandelier for the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. This time, however, she is able to perfect the move by herself with some inspiration. After obtaining {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}}, she trains with it to find a way around Togekiss's need to move gracefully and is able to do so successfully.<br />
<br />
[[File:Poffin.png|thumb|right|Dawn's poffins]]<br />
Dawn entered the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', using her Buneary and Cyndaquil in the Appeals Round. She progressed through the round and battled [[Ursula]] first in [[DP175|the next episode]]. With Mamoswine and Pachirisu and her new combination, the Ice Chandelier, she was able to defeat Ursula's {{p|Gabite}} and {{p|Flareon}}. [[DP176|The following episode]], she defeated [[Jessie|Jessilina]] and progressed to the [[DP177|finals]] to fight [[Zoey]]. <br />
<br />
After a very close fight between her Piplup and Togekiss and [[Zoey's Glameow]] and {{p|Gallade}}, however, she lost. After the finals, she returns her mother's ribbon saying that she no longer is in her mother's shadow and only needs her Pokémon's care and support thus proving her growth as a Trainer.<br />
<br />
After the competition, Zoey told Dawn that [[Candice]] was throwing a victory party for her in [[Snowpoint City]] and that Dawn was also welcome; however, Dawn declined the invitation, stating that she still wants to support Ash in his upcoming battle at [[Sunyshore Gym]] and in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. She then thanked all the Pokémon that had traveled with her through Sinnoh for their hard work and pledged to not give up her dream of being a Top Coordinator.<br />
<br />
[[File:Dawn Cheer.png|thumb|left|Dawn in her Cheerleader outfit]]<br />
After staying for Ash's gym battle and the Sinnoh league, she contemplates whether or not to go with Ash and Brock back to [[Kanto]]. However after receiving an invitation by [[Paris]] for her {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, she decides to stay in [[Sinnoh]]. She and Ash later share a final high-five as they did throughout the [[Diamond & Pearl series]] before Ash and Brock leave for Kanto. <br />
<br />
After this, Dawn decided to spend some time at home before considering her next move and spent that time developing new contest combinations. She also spent a lot of time working with Cyndaquil, and eventually decided to head for [[Hoenn]] next knowing that it was the region that contests originated from and she was eager to hit the contest trail again. However she was having trouble deciding which Pokémon to take with her and which to leave with [[Professor Rowan]]. Although she knew she would take Piplup, she couldn't decide on the others as she knew there was still a lot she could do with them. Eventually, after visiting Professor Rowan and having another incident with some {{p|Ariados}} (which caused Cyndaquil to [[evolve]] into Quilava), Dawn decided to take all her Pokémon to [[Hoenn]] with her. Dawn soon left on her new adventure with her dream of becoming a Top Coordinator burning as big and bright as ever.<br />
<br />
==Character==<br />
[[File:Ash and Dawn Arguing.png|thumb|right|250px|Dawn's temper]]<br />
Dawn is notable for her confidence, since she is always looking towards the future rather than dwelling on her mistakes, although she has learned that this is not always enough. In the Japanese version, her catchphrase is, "{{tt|Daijōbu!|'It's fine!' or 'It'll be alright!'}}" Although not consistently translated in the English dub at first, she began to regularly use "No need to worry!" In stark contrast to {{an|May}}'s inexperience and self-doubt at the start of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Dawn was overly confident and assured in her own strength in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Over the course of her journey in Sinnoh, Dawn was able to come up with various combinations to show up her Pokémon's looks and strength. This began with something as simple as making her Piplup's beak grow longer, when using {{m|Peck}}, a combination she used even until the end of the Grand Festival. She later followed with simple spinning, a technique her Piplup and Buneary practiced for a while in [[Oreburgh City]]. The way it was used was adapted by Ash in his first Gym battle in Sinnoh. <br />
<br />
Later on, Dawn began with more complex combinations, such as Flame Ice and Ice Chandelier, moves that were both powerful and beautiful. After a lot of practice, Dawn's Pokémon were able to master these combinations in battle. Coincidentally, both of these were used to defeat [[Ursula]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Dawn snow pt.png|thumb|left|250px|Dawn in her winter clothes]]<br />
Dawn is much more different than any of Ash's {{ashfr|other friends}}. Dawn has more concern about her appearance, as she will not show herself to Ash or Brock until she feels that her appearance is perfect. That may be a reason why she decides to sleep inside a tent while the others sleep outside. However, she has recently been seen sleeping outside with the others, such as in ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears!]]''. Every time she's going to be on camera, she needs to take a moment to brush her hair before going on, such as in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]''. <br />
<br />
In ''[[DP070|The Bells Are Singing!]]'', Dawn revealed that she was the one to design {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s vest (but also admitted that her mother was the one to sew it). In ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', she demonstrated her talent for designing again, sketching many different dresses for the [[Hearthome Collection]], though she rejected all of them.<br />
{{-}}<br />
==Pokémon==<br />
[[File:Dawn Party SS024.png|thumb|250px|Dawn's current party]]<br />
Since catching her first Pokémon, the [[Pokémon]] that Dawn acquire tend to be cute and small like her starter, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. <br />
<br />
Because of her lack of experience, she may have some rough spots on how to deal with her Pokémon properly, as seen when she bickers with Piplup sometimes. This lack of experience also reflects with her Pachirisu and Mamoswine. Pachirisu occasionally hits unwanted targets with its {{m|Discharge}} while Mamoswine may easily be angered and disobey Dawn in the process. Despite all these issues she faces some times, Dawn still deeply cares for all her Pokémon, especially her starter, Piplup.<br />
<br />
As a Coordinator who is willing to win the Grand Festival, Dawn has trained her Pokémon in the art of Appeals, as well as battles. She is able to fully utilize her Pokémon capabilities. A commonly-seen example would be her Buneary's capability to use {{m|Ice Beam}}, which was used in various ways in the Contests Dawn participated in. She was also able to use her Togekiss in the finals of the Grand Festival to help her almost defeat Zoey, despite the lack of experience with it when compared to her other Pokémon, most especially Piplup, who was also used in the finals.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[Image:Dawn_PLL.png|200px|thumb|right|Dawn in [[Pokémon Learning League]]]]<br />
* On the [[Pokémon Learning League]] website, [[List of clothing in the anime|her clothing]] has been altered so that her white undershirt has sleeves and she is wearing black stockings or tights.<br />
* Dawn's Japanese name is Hikari, and [[Zoey|her rival's]] is Nozomi. The ''Hikari'' and the ''Nozomi'' are two Shinkansen "bullet train" lines. The Nozomi is faster than the Hikari, possibly symbolizing that Zoey is farther along in her coordinating skills than Dawn. It should also be noted that they go in opposite directions.<br />
* All of Dawn's Normal-type Pokémon are female.<br />

'''Jessie''' (Japanese: '''ムサシ''' ''Musashi'') is a member of [[Team Rocket]], more specifically the [[Team Rocket trio]] that follows [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{ashfr|friends}} around in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], but always failing.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
===Character===<br />
[[File:Jessie_BW.png|left|thumb|200px|Art from episodes [[BW001]] - [[BW022]] in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]<br />
Jessie's mother, [[Miyamoto]], was a high-ranking Team Rocket agent. When Jessie was around the age of three, Miyamoto left on a mission to the {{wp|Andes}} to record the voice of the elusive Pokémon {{p|Mew}}. However, after Miyamoto disappeared, Jessie was put into a foster home which had very little money. There were times when she had no choice but to eat snow because of a lack of more nourishing food. <br />
<br />
When she was old enough, she left home to become a Pokémon nurse in [[Johto]]. However, the school she was enrolled in was literally for ''Pokémon'' nurses (i.e. {{p|Chansey}}), so she failed to graduate and left, leaving behind a [[Nurse Joy's Blissey|Chansey]] she had befriended there. In the episode ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', Jessie was reunited with that same Chansey, which had since evolved into a {{p|Blissey}}. It is assumed that she then traveled back to [[Kanto]], where she enrolled in [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s school, she met [[James]], and subsequently failed and dropped out. After this, Jessie and James joined a bicycle gang in [[Sunny Town]], where Jessie was known for swinging a chain above her head as she rode her bike, acquiring the nickname "Chainer Jess". It was revealed in ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'' that she was a model at one point.<br />
[[File:Jessie BW anime.png|thumb|Jessie in the {{series|Best Wishes}} from ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' to ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]''|220px]]<br />
Due to conflicts in canon between Kanto and Johto episodes and the special episode ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between Jessie and James after the bike gang is unknown. What ''is'' known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}} but they quickly made up and became good friends.<br />
[[File:Jessie hair.png|thumb|Jessie after beating up her Seviper for biting off her hair|200px]]<br />
[[File:Jessie and James first appearance.png|200px|thumb|left|Jessie and James's first appearance in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]<br />
Sometime before joining Team Rocket, and it is not known when, Jessie obtained a [[Contest Pass]] in the [[Hoenn]] region. Also during the years before Team Rocket, she had several boyfriends, all of whom left her and/or treated her badly. In ''[[EP234|Xatu the Future]]'', she revealed that she had once worked at a T.V. station as the weathergirl. In ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', it was revealed that she once was a ninja. In ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'', it was revealed that she had a crush on a boy she had gone to school with named [[Astin]], who has a current-day counterpart [[Austin|with a similar name]]. <br />
<br />
She has a long-standing bitter rivalry with [[Cassidy]], another member of Team Rocket. Team Rocket member {{an|Wendy}} held a grudge against Jessie for failing to pay for a drink (making Wendy pay), but got her revenge when she added the charge to Jessie's overall Team Rocket bill.<br />
<br />
Jessie seems to have a special preference for snake-like Pokémon, owning both an {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and a {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké Showdown]]'', she expressed a preference for {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon in general.<br />
<br />
It is revealed in ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'' that Jessie is almost identical in appearance to James's fiancée, [[Jessiebelle]], with the two of them having virtually identical faces and the only noticeable physical differences between them being eye color, hairstyle, and slightly different hair colors. Meowth in particular takes notice of this and frequently reminds Jessie of the fact throughout the episode, something she takes strong offense to due to Jessiebelle's reprehensible personality. By the time the subject of Jessiebelle is breached again in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', she seems to have forgotten about her doppelganger and needs Meowth to remind her of who she is. The resemblance between the two was further explored in ''[[DP153|The Treasure is All Mine!]]'' when she disguised herself as Jessiebelle in order to grant herself, James, and Meowth, entrance into one of James's family mansions without James having to do so himself.<br />
<br />
Jessie is also known to be very vain and is also prone to explosive anger. She values her appearance, and she can get furious when her face or hair is damaged, such as in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile!]]'', ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'' or ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]''. When this happens, she may do things like beat up a Pokémon such as {{MTR}} or her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Furthermore, Jessie goes into a violent outrage whenever someone insults her beauty by calling her old, such as the episode ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' when {{an|Misty}} calls Jessie an "old hag" (Japanese: ''oba-san''). She spat fire in extreme anger after Misty called her that name in that episode. She is also angered (compared to her companions, who are usually depressed when they fail at something) when missions are either failed or botched, which is a regular thing. This anger was intensely demonstrated in the Indigo League, Orange Islands and part of the Johto League story arcs. However, her anger tantrums started to become less intense over the next two story arcs.<br />
[[File:Jessie Jessebella.png|thumb|200px|left|As Jessebella]]<br />
Starting in [[Hoenn]], Jessie became a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], entering every contest that she could. She frequently made it to the battle round, but usually lost there. However, in ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'', she finally succeeded in winning an (unofficial) contest by using [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]], which she had saved earlier in the episode. And, in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she won an official contest with her Dustox at [[Solaceon Town]]. Later in ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist]]'', she won a ribbon with help of her Yanmega. She has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in the Hoenn, Kanto, and Sinnoh regions.<br />
[[File:Jessadia.png|thumb|200px|As Jessadia]]<br />
In the Kanto contests, Jessie [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] herself as ''Jessebella'' (Japanese: '''ムサぴょん''' ''Musa-pyon'') wearing a red dress and glasses. Eventually, Ash, Brock, Max and May found out her true identity in the last contest.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jessalina.png|thumb|left|250px|Jessie disguised as Jessilina]]<br />
During the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Jessie dressed up as ''Jessadia'' (Japanese: '''プリティ・ムサリン''' ''Pretty Musalin'') and wore glasses, long white socks, a yellow and orange dress, and had her hair in pigtails. She worked there as an announcer and [[Lilian Meridian]]'s assistant; Lilian herself said she did not really like Jessadia's style, but recognized her talent. <br />
<br />
In Sinnoh {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, Jessie disguised herself as ''Jessilina'' (Japanese: '''キャンディ・ムサリーナ''' ''Candy Musalina''), using big glasses and an orange dress. She was notable for the fact that, in the appeals round of a contest, Jessie tended to use her Pokémon to show herself off, rather than showing them off. The orange dress she wore was ripped into pieces during her appeal for the Grand Festival in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]''.<br />
[[File:Jessie in Grand Festival.png|thumb|250px|Jessilina in the Grand Festival]]<br />
In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' she once again used her Jessadia disguise to report on the [[Wallace Cup]]. She used it again in ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'' to interview [[Fantina]].<br />
<br />
Although Jessie entered mostly every contest in Hoenn and Kanto, she lost in all of them, whether it was the first match of the Battle Rounds or the finals. However, in the Sinnoh region, she won three ribbons herself using her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}, {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, and obtained a ribbon after James won a contest in her place, as well as receiving one from [[Princess Salvia]] after she lost to her. Jessie is now eligible to participate in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], and has made it to the semi-finals, losing to Dawn.<br />
<br />
She's also used other aliases to disguise herself under, such as ''Jessilinda'' during her time at the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] and ''Jessilynlyn'' while competing in the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. Against [[Marilyn]] in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'', she used the alias ''Jessirilyn''.<br />
<br />
In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Jessie, James, and Meowth were sent to the [[Unova]] region under orders from Giovanni after they were promoted in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. Now wearing black uniforms instead of their previous white ones, Jessie and James, along with Meowth, followed various missions given to them by Giovanni through other people. To prevent them from getting too much attention, Giovanni did not allow their other Pokémon to be sent to them, only making them use Pokémon native to Unova. Unknown to the two, Giovanni was not certain they would be successful; however, he sees that their presence in the region will force [[Team Plasma]] to reveal themselves. In ''[[BW023|Battling for the Love of Bug-Types!]]'', Jessie and James go back to their white uniforms.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As with the standards set by the Team Rocket organization, Jessie initially started off with mainly {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon, but as the anime continued onward, her team has diversified. However, she is still strongly associated with Poison-type serpentine Pokémon, such as Arbok and Seviper. Most of her other Pokémon tend to be unusual in appearance and don't usually fit the general image of "cute". However, she does display a desire to obtain Pokémon that are considered "adorable" when the opportunity presents itself, especially feminine Pokémon such as {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Smoochum}}. She was also attracted to a {{p|Weavile}} in ''[[AG185|Duels of the Jungle!]]''. <br />
<br />
Occasionally, she manages to take control of some powerful Pokémon, but due to either inexperience or hubris, this often backfires and loses control of them. She doesn't appear to train her Pokémon that often. Instead, they are often used to fight against {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}. When she enters {{pkmn|Contest}}s, she tends to involve herself in her Pokémon's appeals. <br />

==In the games==<br />
==={{game|Yellow}}===<br />
Both Jessie and James appear in Pokémon Yellow as in-game bosses. They first attack the main character in [[Mt. Moon]], while trying to take one of the rare [[fossil]]s uncovered there.<br />
<br />
Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.<br />
<br />
They hold Mr. Fuji hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]]. They attack the {{ga|Red|main character}} on the seventh floor.<br />
<br />
Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching [[Giovanni|their Boss]].<br />
<br />
Unlike in the anime, Jessie and James do not follow the main character around and come up with their usual evil plans to capture Pikachu.<br />

<br />
===Pokémon Zany Cards===<br />
[[File:Zany Cards Jessie James.png|thumb|Jessie in Pokémon Zany Cards]]<br />

<br />
==In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga==<br />
[[File:RocketShipping.png|thumb|right|Jessie and [[James]] as a [[RocketShipping|married couple]] in the manga]]<br />
[[File:Jessie EToP.png|thumb|left|Jessie in the manga]]<br />
Jessie appears in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] along with her teammates [[James]] and {{MTR}}.<br />
<br />
Her first appearance is in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. She, James and Meowth tag along with a group of lost Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}}, to try and find the [[Hidden Village]]. When they arrive, she and James attempt to steal the Pokémon living in the village, but they are quickly expelled by a {{p|Kangaskhan}}. In this chapter, she uses a {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} in battle.<br />
<br />
Jessie's next appearance is in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. She and James attempt to steal a herd of wild {{p|Pikachu}}. At this point in the manga, Jessie's {{p|Ekans}} has evolved into {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, though its evolution is not depicted in the manga.<br />
<br />
While in the anime, the nature of Jessie's relationship with James is not explicitly stated, in the epilogue of the manga, James is shown [[RocketShipping|confessing his love to Jessie]]. They are shown afterwards married with Jessie visibly pregnant.<br />
<br />
Like many female characters in the manga, Jessie is depicted with an oversized bust, though this is edited down for [[VIZ Media]]'s English translation.{{-}}<br />

==In the TCG==<br />
[[File:SugimoriJessie.png|right|thumb|Art from the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} TCG Jessie theme deck]]<br />
Jessie and James appear on both versions of the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Here Comes Team Rocket!|15}}, which originally released in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set; it was re-released with different artwork in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}. In that expansion, there was also a preconstructed {{TCG|Theme Deck}} based on {{TCG|Jessie}}.<br/><br />

==Trivia==<br />
* According to James in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', Jessie is short for Jessica.<br />
[[File:Jessie Special Lure.png|Jessie's special lure|thumb]]<br />
* Jessie's hair color changed from red to magenta in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin at You, Elekid]]'' and all subsequent episodes. This episode was the first to feature digital colored animation. In all the hand-colored cel animated episodes before the latter, Jessie's hair color was red. Certain movies though, such as ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', depict her hair to be red, possibly because of a different style in coloring. <br />
* In the dub of ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'' Jessie is said to be 17 years old.<br />
* Jessie is one of only two human characters, and the only ''main'' human, to appear in [[Dare da?]] or its English equivalent, "Who's That Pokémon?" having dressed as a {{p|Venomoth}} in the Dare da? for [[EP161]], the other is [[Brutella]]. <br />
===Name origin===<br />
Jessie's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. Her Japanese name, Musashi, is taken from 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', a famous Japanese swordsman. In his most famous duel, he defeated his rival, 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', after whom James got his Japanese name. However, one can argue that she is also named after the Japanese battleship {{wp|Musashi}}, as her rival [[Cassidy]]'s Japanese name is based on the Japanese battleship {{wp|Yamato}}.<br />
<br />
She is based on a combination of [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s old girlfriend from when he was in school and the female antagonist of the ''[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1472 Time Bokan]'' anime series.<br />

'''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}}, and {{s|Contest}}. 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.<br />
<br />
==Anime evidence==<br />
===Dawn's hints===<br />
* ''[[DP003|When Pokemon Worlds Collide]]''<br />
In episode showed a worried expressions when Ash got hit by one of Team Rocket's Machine Tentacles and she had just met him. Later she suggests she travels with Ash and Brock saying that she could spend more time with Pikachu. Perhaps she used Pikachu as an excuse to get to know Ash better<br />
* ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
* ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]''<br />
: During a particularly bad hair day, Dawn becomes self-conscious and refuses to let Ash or Brock see her until after {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} is able to address the issue with {{m|BubbleBeam}}. Her problem remedied, Dawn next asks a hygiene-illiterate Ash if he would like his hair done too.<br />
* ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]''<br />
: Dawn comments on how awesome Ash looks when making his appeal in the {{ci|Jubilife}} Contest.<br />
[[File:Dawn Cheer.png|thumb|Dawn in the cheerleading outfit she wore to cheer for Ash]]<br />
* ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]''<br />
: Just as {{p|Aerodactyl}} is about to severely injure Ash and Pikachu with its {{m|Hyper Beam}}, Piplup and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} used Bubblebeam and {{m|Ice Beam}}, respectively, to stop the attack. Dawn rushes over with her Pokémon and specifically asks Ash if he is okay.<br />
* ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched!]]''<br />
: Dawn dons a cheerleading outfit while she and her Pokémon cheer for Ash. Ash is thus able to find find the confidence necessary to winning his first [[Badge|gym badge]] in Sinnoh. Neither [[Misty]], {{an|May}}, nor {{an|Iris}} ever went to such lengths in any of Ash's battles, instead choosing to more passively sit on the sidelines when cheering. Dawn reprises her role as Ash's cheerleader twice over series' run.<br />
* ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
* ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''<br />
: Dawn attempts to convince [[Maylene]] to take up Gym Leading again, perhaps finding herself able to relate with the Gym Leader's confidence issues. Dawn admits to Maylene that she wonders if her Contests are holding Ash back, suggesting the possibility that she may worry for his success almost as much as she worries for her own.<br />
* ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''<br />
: For the second time, Dawn cheers for Ash and his Pokémon in her cheerleading outfit. She even goes so far as to include some dancing.<br />
* [[DP069|''Enter Galactic!'']]<br />
: Ash asserts that his victory over [[Maylene]] owes to the training Dawn undertook with {{AP|Buizel}} when it was still in her possession. Dawn quickly blushes and responds somewhat sheepishly, "Well, let's just say that I was going to do anything I could to see an awesome Gym Battle between Ash and Maylene!"<br />
* ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]''<br />
: At the episode's start Dawn comments on how Ash does very well in training his Pokémon and notes that "Ash is incredible!" <br />
* ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]''<br />
: 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!]]''.<br />
* ''[[DP081|Chim-Charred!]]''<br />
: Ash tries to restrain his {{a|Blaze}} induced raging {{TP|Ash|Chimchar}} and his Pokémon bites him on his right shoulder. Dawn attempts to run to Ash's side, but is blocked by Brock. She protests to Brock that Ash needs help, but Brock tells Dawn to let Ash handle Chimchar.<br />
* ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]''<br />
: In another scene, Dawn becomes so frightened by the numerous advancing Croagunk that she clutches Ash's arm and hides behind him.<br />
[[File:High Five DP.png|thumb|right|180px|Ash and Dawn exchange their first high-five in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'']]<br />
* ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]''<br />
: Dawn tells {{an|Monica}} that Ash "won an amazing victory at the Pastoria Gym" and how she admires all of his success as a trainer.<br />
* ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]''<br />
: When Byron's Gym assistant exclaims that [[Byron]] has the upper hand during Ash and Byron's gym battle, Dawn angrily objects, "I am telling you you're wrong! Ash is going to win it for sure!" thereby revealing how confident she is in Ash's abilities.<br />
* ''[[DP113|Hold The Phione!]]''<br />
: When Ash asks Dawn which Pokémon she will use in the upcoming Pokémon Contest, Dawn responds with a wink, slyly asking him, "Well who do you ''think'' I would use?"<br />
* ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]''<br />
: Dawn states that she wants to enter {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} in the {{to|Sandalstraw}} Contest so that it might win for both her and Ash.<br />
*''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
*''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]''<br />
: When Ash, Dawn, Brock, [[Khoury]], and {{an|Lyra}} are trapped in a storage room at the [[Valley Windworks]], Lyra asks Dawn if Ash is her boyfriend. Dawn quickly denies this, expressing not only bewilderment but shock and defensiveness as well. Lyra nevertheless continues drilling Dawn on the subject, pointing out what she believes constitute Ash's strong points. Dawn appears to ponder some of Lyra's statements, perhaps realizing that Lyra has put him in a light she hadn't contemplated before.<br />
*''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''<br />
: After Ash falls into a Trapinch's {{a|Arena Trap}}, Dawn becomes worried and scolds him for endangering himself. While the two argue, Lyra looks on and thinks to herself how nice it is that both Ash and Dawn care for one another as much as they do. Later, Dawn is once again startled by Lyra's talk of romance, although this time Lyra discusses the possibility of {{s|JohtoFesta|dating}} Khoury herself.<br />
* ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''<br />
: After the conclusion of the Grand Festival, Zoey asks Dawn if she would like to accompany her back to Snowpoint City. Dawn declines, saying she has something to do. Zoey assumes that this "something" is cheering for Ash in his upcoming battles, an assumption that Dawn soon confirms is correct.<br />
* ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]''<br />
: Dawn again cheers for Ash and his Pokémon in her cheerleading costume for the third time.<br />
*''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''<br />
: 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. 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.<br />
<br />
===Ash's hints===<br />
* ''[[DP018|O'er The Rampardos We Watched]]''<br />
: Dawn dresses in a cheerleading outfit and cheers for Ash. Ash notices this and, with a grin on his face, remarks, "Gee, thanks Dawn." <br />
* ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
* ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]''<br />
: After Paul tells Ash that he has not seen either Brock or Dawn, Ash wonders if his friends have gotten lost in the maze. He then imagines Dawn yelling, "No need to worry!" while being {{m|Bind|binded}} by an {{p|Onix}} and immediately yells out, "That's when I worry the most!" In the original Japanese episode, Hikari/Dawn yells painfully, "I'm all right! I'm all right!" while Satoshi wryly says "You're not all right at all!" He quickly tells Pikachu that they need to go find everyone.<br />
* ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]''<br />
: Ash enrolls Dawn in the {{ci|Hearthome}} [[Tag Battle Tournament]] in an effort to cheer her up following a recent Contest loss. Informed of this, Dawn objects on the basis that she won't do well, but Ash counters with his belief that she will do great and asks her to simply try her best. Dawn agrees, and Ash, with a big grin on his face, raises his hand to to give her a high-five.<br />
[[File:Ash Displaying Sadness.png|thumb|right|Ash showing emotion over Dawn's second Contest loss]]<br />
* ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]''<br />
: Ash is deeply saddened when Dawn loses in the appeal round for the second time. After the loss, "[[Jessie|Jessilina]]" walks up to her and tells her to leave. Dawn refuses, telling "Jessilina" that she wants to stay, while the camera focuses on Dawn's slightly shaking fist. The camera then cuts to Ash's face. The brown in Ash's eyes can be seen; this usually happens only when Ash is very upset. Ash lowers his head and hides his eyes behind his hat.<br />
* ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''<br />
: Ash credits the training Buizel underwent with Dawn while still in her possession for his recent earning of a badge from [[Maylene]]. Dawn blushes and replies, "Thanks, but it was all worth it to see an amazing battle between you and Maylene, Ash." Ash smiles widely at her.<br />
* ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]''<br />
: Ash asks Dawn to dance during the [[Pastoria Croagunk Festival|Croagunk Festival]].<br />
* ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]''<br />
: Ash and Dawn climb onto Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket's mechas|robot]], but Ash falls off. As he does so, Ash yells Dawn's name twice, once while falling and again after losing sight of her.<br />
* ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''<br />
: Dawn infuriates Ash by suggesting that Ash treat his Pokémon as {{Gary}} does. Some PearlShippers consider that to be jealousy over Dawn's supposed feelings for Gary.<br />
* ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''<br />
: Dawn becomes frustrated while designing outfits for the collection. Ash assures her that all of her designs are good and tells her to just do her best. <br />
* ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''<br />
: When Brock comments on how great [[Conway]] is with his {{p|Venonat}}, Ash begins to worry and yells, "'Kay Dawn, hang in there!" Later, Ash is happy to see Dawn win the prize for being closest to her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<br />
* ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''<br />
: Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}}, hungry for more Poffins, charges her. Ash quickly responds, saving her from injury by placing his arm around her waist and pushing her to safety.<br />
* ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''<br />
: [[Ursula]] insults Dawn, angering her. Dawn prepares a retort but Ash beats her to the punch, yelling to Ursula that Dawn is a much better Coordinator and Trainer than she is.<br />
* ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]''<br />
: Ash discovers that Dawn has fallen into the river and thus becomes worried. He continues to express concern over her well-being until she is found. Meanwhile, {{an|Brock}} does not show nearly as much concern.<br />
* ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''<br />
: Dawn puts on a show for Ash and his Pokémon, but Ash does not know why. Nurse Joy informs him that it Dawn is trying to cheer up not only his Pokémon but him as well. Ash quickly gives Dawn a weird look as if to say, "Is this true?" Dawn responds with a smile and a wink and starts the show. Ash and his Pokémon enjoy themselves.<br />
* ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''<br />
: When Lyra invites Dawn to battle with her {{p|Chikorita}}, Ash exclaims, "Yeah, go Dawn!" and pushes her to the podium by the shoulder.<br />
* ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''<br />
: Lyra tries to play matchmaker with Dawn and Khoury as the target couple. Later, Ash and friends are separated by a flock of {{p|Zubat}} while exploring a cave. Dawn is shown alone and scared with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, but, soon after, Ash is shown running up to her and calling out her name.<br />
* ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]''<br />
: In this episode, Ash states Dawn is awesome and "number one."<br />
* ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
*''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
[[Image:DP191.png|thumb|250px|right|Ash and Dawn's final high five]]<br />
*''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''<br />
: Throughout the episode, Ash was constantly joking around with Dawn. Some PearlShippers think that this was his way of making the goodbye not as heartbreaking. 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.<br />
<br />
===Other hints===<br />
* Unlike {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Iris}}, Dawn asks in a straightforward manner to come along with Ash in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'' rather than coming up with some reason to hide her intentions. In return, Ash accepts her request. While Ash felt some obligation to Misty and May due to Pikachu ruining their bikes, Iris invited herself.<br />
* Since ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'', Ash and Dawn are often seen exchanging high fives whenever one of them accomplishes something, which might possibly portray a friendship.<br />
*[[Dawn's Buneary]] has {{s|Lagomorph|a crush}} on [[Ash's Pikachu]]. This could be a sign that Dawn may have a crush on Ash, since {{an|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. It is to be pointed out that Buneary developed this crush ''before'' Dawn caught it. The claim has also been refuted at various points during the series, so the feelings of the Pokémon are not always definitive to the feelings of the Trainers.<br />
* Ash has watched all of Dawn's Contests. He did not do this with May because he would sometimes be training his Pokémon instead of watching her.<br />
* Dawn is the source of some of the moves and strategies used in battle by Ash, which include [[Ash's Buizel|Ice Aqua Jet]] & [[Dawn's Piplup|Spin]]. Ash watching Dawn's Contest may (in part<!--so as not to exclude their friendship-->) be so he can learn new things to apply in battle, though some say this is because of advice given to him by others.<br />
* One of the movie posters for ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' depicts Pikachu and Piplup sitting on Ash's and Dawn's heads, respectively. Some fans have pointed out that the distance portrayed between Dawn and Ash is very small. However, other fans point out how Ash's hair, which can usually be seen from the sides of his hat, is not present. This may mean the Trainers are not really wearing their hats.<br />
[[File:High Touch Pearlshipping.gif|thumb|200px|Pearlshipping in the Japanese opening [[High Touch!]]]]<br />
* [[High Touch!]] <br />
: The opening is sung by Ash and Dawn. The lyrics show how close their friendship is to each other and their Pokémon. But, mainly to each other. <br />
* ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]''<br />
: While Dawn battled a revived {{p|Aerodactyl}}, Ash is fascinated with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s new dodging tactic that he asks Dawn to help him practice for his rematch. He then has {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}}, and {{AP|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.<br />
* ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]''<br />
: When Ash and Dawn were in the submarine, they saw a school of {{p|Luvdisc}}. Some PearlShippers consider this a hint because Luvdisc's [[Pokédex]] entry says if two people see a school of Luvdisc, they will be blessed with eternal love (however, there's been long-debated discrepancies about how much the anime and the game are relatable, and should not be taken at face value. Also, {{s|Advance|AdvanceShippers}} have a similar hint from the [[M09|ninth movie]]).<br />
<br />
==Movie evidence==<br />
===Dawn's hints===<br />
* ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''<br />
: When {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} first appears in front of Ash and company, Dawn runs over to Ash's side. Several other scenes feature Dawn reacting to Ash's predicaments: when Ash is about to fall off the tower, Dawn rushes over to save him. When Ash saves her from falling of the platform, Dawn looks at him with a thankful expression on her face and is holding his hand. And when Ash begins to cry, believing he lost Darkrai, Dawn looks at him with a worried expression and begins to cry as well.<br />
* ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''<br />
: When Ash tries to defeat Marcus, he has trouble beating {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Bronzong}}. As soon as they both attack Pikachu, Dawn and her Piplup protect Ash and Pikachu, and help him fight. During this time, Brock is not with Dawn and Ash but with [[Sheena]] and [[Damos]].<br />
*''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''<br />
:When Ash became electrocuted, Dawn right away comes to his side to comfort him and make sure he is okay. <br />
<br />
===Ash's hints===<br />
* ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''<br />
: When both Ash and Dawn are falling off the tower together, Ash holds Dawn tight so that she doesn't fall.<br />
* ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''<br />
: When Dawn gets sucked into the Reverse World, Ash yells ''"Dawn!"'' and runs after Dawn into the portal. Brock, for some reason, does not follow Ash's lead.<br />
<br />
===Other movie hints===<br />
Movie Posters<br />
* Throughout most promotional posters of Diamond & Pearl movies, Brock seemed to be excluded, leaving only Ash and Dawn in them.<br />
<br />
==Similarities==<br />
* Both Dawn and Ash saw a [[legendary Pokémon]] at the beginning of their journeys (Ash saw {{an|Ho-Oh}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' and Dawn saw {{p|Mesprit}} in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'').<br />
** They have both seen a [[Lake guardians|lake guardian]]: Dawn and Mesprit in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', and Ash and {{p|Azelf}} in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' (eventually, Brock saw {{p|Uxie}} as well).<br />
* Neither of Ash or Dawn's fathers have ever been acknowledged on-screen in the anime. They also are only children with no siblings.<br />
* They both have childhood [[rival]]s: Ash's is [[Gary Oak]] and Dawn's is {{si|Kenny}}.<br />
* 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.<br />
* He first participated in an official Contest at the same time as Dawn.<br />
* They are the only main characters that have battled members of the [[Elite Four]].<br />
* Just like Ash's Pikachu, [[Dawn's Piplup]] wasn't ready to obey her when they first met. Eventually, they became friends.<br />
** Pikachu saved Ash from {{p|Spearow}} in the beginning of his journey while Piplup saved Dawn from {{p|Ariados}}.<br />
** Both Dawn and Ash's first Pokémon have refused to evolve.<br />
** Both of their {{Pkmn2|starter}}s were able to defeat their evolved forms: {{AP|Pikachu}} beat [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}}, while {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} beat {{si|Kenny}}'s {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}}.<br />
** As of ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', [[Dawn's Piplup]] seems to have become an "out of the ball" Pokémon, as it rarely stays inside its [[Poké Ball]] anymore, and is often seen being carried around by Dawn just as Ash carries around Pikachu on his shoulder.<br />
[[Image:Dominos Ad Nov08.png|thumb|220px|right|Scene from a {{DL|Pokémon food products|Pokémon Domino's Pizza Promotion|2008 Domino's Pizza commercial}}]]<br />
* Both Ash and Dawn have owned Pokémon that refused to obey them at one point (Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, and {{AP|Primeape}}, and Dawn's {{AP|Buizel}} and {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}).<br />
** 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]]).<br />
* They both released the second Pokémon they caught: Ash released {{AP|Pidgeot}} and Dawn released {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. However, Dawn recaptured Pachirisu and Ash said he would come back for Pidgeot (though he has yet to do so).<br />
* Ash and Dawn are the only main characters to trade Pokémon with each other: Ash's {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} for Dawn's {{AP|Buizel}}.<br />
* 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!]]''.<br />
* Just like [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], [[Dawn's Piplup]] stopped evolving in the middle of the evolution process.<br />
* Both own a Pokémon in the {{p|Cyndaquil}} evolutionary line.<br />
* Both released a fully evolved Pokémon from their current team for training during the the ''Diamond and Pearl'' saga.<br />
** Both are part of a two-evolution family and their base forms relate to Generation II.<br />
* In ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'', Dawn rented an affectionate {{p|Grimer}} whose behavior is similar to that of [[Ash's Muk]].<br />
* In ''[[DP105|Get your Rotom Running]]'', while communicating with {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Ash's Grotle|Grotle]] and [[Dawn's Mamoswine|Piloswine]] tackle Ash and Dawn down with affection.<br />
**These two are newly evolved Stage 2 Pokémon.<br />
* Both Ash and Dawn have a primate Pokémon in training. [[Ash's Primeape]] is training for the [[P1 Grand Prix|Pokémon Grand Prix]], while [[Dawn's Ambipom]] is in training for Pokémon Ping-Pong.<br />
*Dawn and Ash both owned a {{p|Cyndaquil}} that knew {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|SmokeScreen}}, and {{m|Swift}}. Both of their Cyndaquil evolved into {{p|Quilava}} and learned {{m|Eruption}} right after their evolutions.<br />

This [[shipping|Ship]] is among the more popular anime-based Shippings, along with {{s|Poké}}, {{s|Advance}}, and {{s|Contest}}.

* ''[[DP003|When Pokemon Worlds Collide]]''<br />
In episode showed a worried expressions when Ash got hit by one of Team Rocket's Machine Tentacles and she had just met him. Later she suggests she travels with Ash and Brock saying that she could spend more time with Pikachu. Perhaps she used Pikachu as an excuse to get to know Ash better<br />
* ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
* ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]''<br />
: During a particularly bad hair day, Dawn becomes self-conscious and refuses to let Ash or Brock see her until after {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} is able to address the issue with {{m|BubbleBeam}}. Her problem remedied, Dawn next asks a hygiene-illiterate Ash if he would like his hair done too.<br />
* ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]''<br />
: Dawn comments on how awesome Ash looks when making his appeal in the {{ci|Jubilife}} Contest.<br />
[[File:Dawn Cheer.png|thumb|Dawn in the cheerleading outfit she wore to cheer for Ash]]<br />
* ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]''<br />
: Just as {{p|Aerodactyl}} is about to severely injure Ash and Pikachu with its {{m|Hyper Beam}}, Piplup and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} used Bubblebeam and {{m|Ice Beam}}, respectively, to stop the attack. Dawn rushes over with her Pokémon and specifically asks Ash if he is okay.<br />
* ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched!]]''<br />
: Dawn dons a cheerleading outfit while she and her Pokémon cheer for Ash. Ash is thus able to find find the confidence necessary to winning his first [[Badge|gym badge]] in Sinnoh. Neither [[Misty]], {{an|May}}, nor {{an|Iris}} ever went to such lengths in any of Ash's battles, instead choosing to more passively sit on the sidelines when cheering. Dawn reprises her role as Ash's cheerleader twice over series' run.<br />
* ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
* ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''<br />
: Dawn attempts to convince [[Maylene]] to take up Gym Leading again, perhaps finding herself able to relate with the Gym Leader's confidence issues. Dawn admits to Maylene that she wonders if her Contests are holding Ash back, suggesting the possibility that she may worry for his success almost as much as she worries for her own.<br />
* ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''<br />
: For the second time, Dawn cheers for Ash and his Pokémon in her cheerleading outfit. She even goes so far as to include some dancing.<br />
* [[DP069|''Enter Galactic!'']]<br />
: Ash asserts that his victory over [[Maylene]] owes to the training Dawn undertook with {{AP|Buizel}} when it was still in her possession. Dawn quickly blushes and responds somewhat sheepishly, "Well, let's just say that I was going to do anything I could to see an awesome Gym Battle between Ash and Maylene!"<br />
* ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]''<br />
: At the episode's start Dawn comments on how Ash does very well in training his Pokémon and notes that "Ash is incredible!" <br />
* ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]''<br />
: 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!]]''.<br />
* ''[[DP081|Chim-Charred!]]''<br />
: Ash tries to restrain his {{a|Blaze}} induced raging {{TP|Ash|Chimchar}} and his Pokémon bites him on his right shoulder. Dawn attempts to run to Ash's side, but is blocked by Brock. She protests to Brock that Ash needs help, but Brock tells Dawn to let Ash handle Chimchar.<br />
* ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]''<br />
: In another scene, Dawn becomes so frightened by the numerous advancing Croagunk that she clutches Ash's arm and hides behind him.<br />
[[File:High Five DP.png|thumb|right|180px|Ash and Dawn exchange their first high-five in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'']]<br />
* ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]''<br />
: Dawn tells {{an|Monica}} that Ash "won an amazing victory at the Pastoria Gym" and how she admires all of his success as a trainer.<br />
* ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]''<br />
: When Byron's Gym assistant exclaims that [[Byron]] has the upper hand during Ash and Byron's gym battle, Dawn angrily objects, "I am telling you you're wrong! Ash is going to win it for sure!" thereby revealing how confident she is in Ash's abilities.<br />
* ''[[DP113|Hold The Phione!]]''<br />
: When Ash asks Dawn which Pokémon she will use in the upcoming Pokémon Contest, Dawn responds with a wink, slyly asking him, "Well who do you ''think'' I would use?"<br />
* ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]''<br />
: Dawn states that she wants to enter {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} in the {{to|Sandalstraw}} Contest so that it might win for both her and Ash.<br />
*''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
*''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]''<br />
: When Ash, Dawn, Brock, [[Khoury]], and {{an|Lyra}} are trapped in a storage room at the [[Valley Windworks]], Lyra asks Dawn if Ash is her boyfriend. Dawn quickly denies this, expressing not only bewilderment but shock and defensiveness as well. Lyra nevertheless continues drilling Dawn on the subject, pointing out what she believes constitute Ash's strong points. Dawn appears to ponder some of Lyra's statements, perhaps realizing that Lyra has put him in a light she hadn't contemplated before.<br />
*''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''<br />
: After Ash falls into a Trapinch's {{a|Arena Trap}}, Dawn becomes worried and scolds him for endangering himself. While the two argue, Lyra looks on and thinks to herself how nice it is that both Ash and Dawn care for one another as much as they do. Later, Dawn is once again startled by Lyra's talk of romance, although this time Lyra discusses the possibility of {{s|JohtoFesta|dating}} Khoury herself.<br />
* ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''<br />
: After the conclusion of the Grand Festival, Zoey asks Dawn if she would like to accompany her back to Snowpoint City. Dawn declines, saying she has something to do. Zoey assumes that this "something" is cheering for Ash in his upcoming battles, an assumption that Dawn soon confirms is correct.<br />
* ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]''<br />
: Dawn again cheers for Ash and his Pokémon in her cheerleading costume for the third time.<br />
*''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''<br />
: 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. 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.<br />
<br />
===Ash's hints===<br />
* ''[[DP018|O'er The Rampardos We Watched]]''<br />
: Dawn dresses in a cheerleading outfit and cheers for Ash. Ash notices this and, with a grin on his face, remarks, "Gee, thanks Dawn." <br />
* ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
* ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]''<br />
: After Paul tells Ash that he has not seen either Brock or Dawn, Ash wonders if his friends have gotten lost in the maze. He then imagines Dawn yelling, "No need to worry!" while being {{m|Bind|binded}} by an {{p|Onix}} and immediately yells out, "That's when I worry the most!" In the original Japanese episode, Hikari/Dawn yells painfully, "I'm all right! I'm all right!" while Satoshi wryly says "You're not all right at all!" He quickly tells Pikachu that they need to go find everyone.<br />
* ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]''<br />
: Ash enrolls Dawn in the {{ci|Hearthome}} [[Tag Battle Tournament]] in an effort to cheer her up following a recent Contest loss. Informed of this, Dawn objects on the basis that she won't do well, but Ash counters with his belief that she will do great and asks her to simply try her best. Dawn agrees, and Ash, with a big grin on his face, raises his hand to to give her a high-five.<br />
[[File:Ash Displaying Sadness.png|thumb|right|Ash showing emotion over Dawn's second Contest loss]]<br />
* ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]''<br />
: Ash is deeply saddened when Dawn loses in the appeal round for the second time. After the loss, "[[Jessie|Jessilina]]" walks up to her and tells her to leave. Dawn refuses, telling "Jessilina" that she wants to stay, while the camera focuses on Dawn's slightly shaking fist. The camera then cuts to Ash's face. The brown in Ash's eyes can be seen; this usually happens only when Ash is very upset. Ash lowers his head and hides his eyes behind his hat.<br />
* ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''<br />
: Ash credits the training Buizel underwent with Dawn while still in her possession for his recent earning of a badge from [[Maylene]]. Dawn blushes and replies, "Thanks, but it was all worth it to see an amazing battle between you and Maylene, Ash." Ash smiles widely at her.<br />
* ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]''<br />
: Ash asks Dawn to dance during the [[Pastoria Croagunk Festival|Croagunk Festival]].<br />
* ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]''<br />
: Ash and Dawn climb onto Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket's mechas|robot]], but Ash falls off. As he does so, Ash yells Dawn's name twice, once while falling and again after losing sight of her.<br />
* ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''<br />
: Dawn infuriates Ash by suggesting that Ash treat his Pokémon as {{Gary}} does. Some PearlShippers consider that to be jealousy over Dawn's supposed feelings for Gary.<br />
* ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''<br />
: Dawn becomes frustrated while designing outfits for the collection. Ash assures her that all of her designs are good and tells her to just do her best. <br />
* ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''<br />
: When Brock comments on how great [[Conway]] is with his {{p|Venonat}}, Ash begins to worry and yells, "'Kay Dawn, hang in there!" Later, Ash is happy to see Dawn win the prize for being closest to her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<br />
* ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''<br />
: Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}}, hungry for more Poffins, charges her. Ash quickly responds, saving her from injury by placing his arm around her waist and pushing her to safety.<br />
* ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''<br />
: [[Ursula]] insults Dawn, angering her. Dawn prepares a retort but Ash beats her to the punch, yelling to Ursula that Dawn is a much better Coordinator and Trainer than she is.<br />
* ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]''<br />
: Ash discovers that Dawn has fallen into the river and thus becomes worried. He continues to express concern over her well-being until she is found. Meanwhile, {{an|Brock}} does not show nearly as much concern.<br />
* ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''<br />
: Dawn puts on a show for Ash and his Pokémon, but Ash does not know why. Nurse Joy informs him that it Dawn is trying to cheer up not only his Pokémon but him as well. Ash quickly gives Dawn a weird look as if to say, "Is this true?" Dawn responds with a smile and a wink and starts the show. Ash and his Pokémon enjoy themselves.<br />
* ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''<br />
: When Lyra invites Dawn to battle with her {{p|Chikorita}}, Ash exclaims, "Yeah, go Dawn!" and pushes her to the podium by the shoulder.<br />
* ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''<br />
: Lyra tries to play matchmaker with Dawn and Khoury as the target couple. Later, Ash and friends are separated by a flock of {{p|Zubat}} while exploring a cave. Dawn is shown alone and scared with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, but, soon after, Ash is shown running up to her and calling out her name.<br />
* ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]''<br />
: In this episode, Ash states Dawn is awesome and "number one."<br />
* ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
*''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
[[Image:DP191.png|thumb|250px|right|Ash and Dawn's final high five]]<br />
*''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''<br />
: Throughout the episode, Ash was constantly joking around with Dawn. Some PearlShippers think that this was his way of making the goodbye not as heartbreaking. 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.<br />
<br />
===Other hints===<br />
* Unlike {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Iris}}, Dawn asks in a straightforward manner to come along with Ash in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'' rather than coming up with some reason to hide her intentions. In return, Ash accepts her request. While Ash felt some obligation to Misty and May due to Pikachu ruining their bikes, Iris invited herself.<br />
* Since ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'', Ash and Dawn are often seen exchanging high fives whenever one of them accomplishes something, which might possibly portray a friendship.<br />
*[[Dawn's Buneary]] has {{s|Lagomorph|a crush}} on [[Ash's Pikachu]]. This could be a sign that Dawn may have a crush on Ash, since {{an|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. It is to be pointed out that Buneary developed this crush ''before'' Dawn caught it. The claim has also been refuted at various points during the series, so the feelings of the Pokémon are not always definitive to the feelings of the Trainers.<br />
* Ash has watched all of Dawn's Contests. He did not do this with May because he would sometimes be training his Pokémon instead of watching her.<br />
* Dawn is the source of some of the moves and strategies used in battle by Ash, which include [[Ash's Buizel|Ice Aqua Jet]] & [[Dawn's Piplup|Spin]]. Ash watching Dawn's Contest may (in part<!--so as not to exclude their friendship-->) be so he can learn new things to apply in battle, though some say this is because of advice given to him by others.<br />
* One of the movie posters for ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' depicts Pikachu and Piplup sitting on Ash's and Dawn's heads, respectively. Some fans have pointed out that the distance portrayed between Dawn and Ash is very small. However, other fans point out how Ash's hair, which can usually be seen from the sides of his hat, is not present. This may mean the Trainers are not really wearing their hats.<br />
[[File:High Touch Pearlshipping.gif|thumb|200px|Pearlshipping in the Japanese opening [[High Touch!]]]]<br />
* [[High Touch!]] <br />
: The opening is sung by Ash and Dawn. The lyrics show how close their friendship is to each other and their Pokémon. But, mainly to each other. <br />
* ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]''<br />
: While Dawn battled a revived {{p|Aerodactyl}}, Ash is fascinated with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s new dodging tactic that he asks Dawn to help him practice for his rematch. He then has {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}}, and {{AP|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.<br />
* ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]''<br />
: When Ash and Dawn were in the submarine, they saw a school of {{p|Luvdisc}}. Some PearlShippers consider this a hint because Luvdisc's [[Pokédex]] entry says if two people see a school of Luvdisc, they will be blessed with eternal love (however, there's been long-debated discrepancies about how much the anime and the game are relatable, and should not be taken at face value. Also, {{s|Advance|AdvanceShippers}} have a similar hint from the [[M09|ninth movie]]).<br />
<br />
==Movie evidence==<br />
===Dawn's hints===<br />
* ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''<br />
: When {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} first appears in front of Ash and company, Dawn runs over to Ash's side. Several other scenes feature Dawn reacting to Ash's predicaments: when Ash is about to fall off the tower, Dawn rushes over to save him. When Ash saves her from falling of the platform, Dawn looks at him with a thankful expression on her face and is holding his hand. And when Ash begins to cry, believing he lost Darkrai, Dawn looks at him with a worried expression and begins to cry as well.<br />
* ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''<br />
: When Ash tries to defeat Marcus, he has trouble beating {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Bronzong}}. As soon as they both attack Pikachu, Dawn and her Piplup protect Ash and Pikachu, and help him fight. During this time, Brock is not with Dawn and Ash but with [[Sheena]] and [[Damos]].<br />
*''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''<br />
:When Ash became electrocuted, Dawn right away comes to his side to comfort him and make sure he is okay. <br />
<br />
===Ash's hints===<br />
* ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''<br />
: When both Ash and Dawn are falling off the tower together, Ash holds Dawn tight so that she doesn't fall.<br />
* ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''<br />
: When Dawn gets sucked into the Reverse World, Ash yells ''"Dawn!"'' and runs after Dawn into the portal. Brock, for some reason, does not follow Ash's lead.<br />
<br />
===Other movie hints===<br />
Movie Posters<br />
* Throughout most promotional posters of Diamond & Pearl movies, Brock seemed to be excluded, leaving only Ash and Dawn in them.<br />
<br />
==Similarities==<br />
* Both Dawn and Ash saw a [[legendary Pokémon]] at the beginning of their journeys (Ash saw {{an|Ho-Oh}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' and Dawn saw {{p|Mesprit}} in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'').<br />
** They have both seen a [[Lake guardians|lake guardian]]: Dawn and Mesprit in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', and Ash and {{p|Azelf}} in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' (eventually, Brock saw {{p|Uxie}} as well).<br />
* Neither of Ash or Dawn's fathers have ever been acknowledged on-screen in the anime. They also are only children with no siblings.<br />
* They both have childhood [[rival]]s: Ash's is [[Gary Oak]] and Dawn's is {{si|Kenny}}.<br />
* 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.<br />
* He first participated in an official Contest at the same time as Dawn.<br />
* They are the only main characters that have battled members of the [[Elite Four]].<br />
* Just like Ash's Pikachu, [[Dawn's Piplup]] wasn't ready to obey her when they first met. Eventually, they became friends.<br />
** Pikachu saved Ash from {{p|Spearow}} in the beginning of his journey while Piplup saved Dawn from {{p|Ariados}}.<br />
** Both Dawn and Ash's first Pokémon have refused to evolve.<br />
** Both of their {{Pkmn2|starter}}s were able to defeat their evolved forms: {{AP|Pikachu}} beat [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}}, while {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} beat {{si|Kenny}}'s {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}}.<br />
** As of ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', [[Dawn's Piplup]] seems to have become an "out of the ball" Pokémon, as it rarely stays inside its [[Poké Ball]] anymore, and is often seen being carried around by Dawn just as Ash carries around Pikachu on his shoulder.<br />
[[Image:Dominos Ad Nov08.png|thumb|220px|right|Scene from a {{DL|Pokémon food products|Pokémon Domino's Pizza Promotion|2008 Domino's Pizza commercial}}]]<br />
* Both Ash and Dawn have owned Pokémon that refused to obey them at one point (Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, and {{AP|Primeape}}, and Dawn's {{AP|Buizel}} and {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}).<br />
** 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]]).<br />
* They both released the second Pokémon they caught: Ash released {{AP|Pidgeot}} and Dawn released {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. However, Dawn recaptured Pachirisu and Ash said he would come back for Pidgeot (though he has yet to do so).<br />
* Ash and Dawn are the only main characters to trade Pokémon with each other: Ash's {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} for Dawn's {{AP|Buizel}}.<br />
* 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!]]''.<br />
* Just like [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], [[Dawn's Piplup]] stopped evolving in the middle of the evolution process.<br />
* Both own a Pokémon in the {{p|Cyndaquil}} evolutionary line.<br />
* Both released a fully evolved Pokémon from their current team for training during the the ''Diamond and Pearl'' saga.<br />
** Both are part of a two-evolution family and their base forms relate to Generation II.<br />
* In ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'', Dawn rented an affectionate {{p|Grimer}} whose behavior is similar to that of [[Ash's Muk]].<br />
* In ''[[DP105|Get your Rotom Running]]'', while communicating with {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Ash's Grotle|Grotle]] and [[Dawn's Mamoswine|Piloswine]] tackle Ash and Dawn down with affection.<br />
**These two are newly evolved Stage 2 Pokémon.<br />
* Both Ash and Dawn have a primate Pokémon in training. [[Ash's Primeape]] is training for the [[P1 Grand Prix|Pokémon Grand Prix]], while [[Dawn's Ambipom]] is in training for Pokémon Ping-Pong.<br />
*Dawn and Ash both owned a {{p|Cyndaquil}} that knew {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|SmokeScreen}}, and {{m|Swift}}. Both of their Cyndaquil evolved into {{p|Quilava}} and learned {{m|Eruption}} right after their evolutions.<br />

[[Image:Pearlshipping.png|thumb|250px|right|Ash and Dawn holding hands]]<br />
'''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}}, and {{s|Contest}}. 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.<br />
<br />
==Anime evidence==<br />
===Dawn's hints===<br />
* ''[[DP003|When Pokemon Worlds Collide]]'' In episode showed a worried expressions when Ash got hit by one of Team Rocket's Machine Tentacles and she had just met him. Later she suggests she travels with Ash and Brock saying that she could spend more time with Pikachu. Perhaps she used Pikachu as an excuse to get to know Ash better<br />
* ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
* ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]''<br />
: During a particularly bad hair day, Dawn becomes self-conscious and refuses to let Ash or Brock see her until after {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} is able to address the issue with {{m|BubbleBeam}}. Her problem remedied, Dawn next asks a hygiene-illiterate Ash if he would like his hair done too.<br />
* ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]''<br />
: Dawn comments on how awesome Ash looks when making his appeal in the {{ci|Jubilife}} Contest.<br />
[[File:Dawn Cheer.png|thumb|Dawn in the cheerleading outfit she wore to cheer for Ash]]<br />
* ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]''<br />
: Just as {{p|Aerodactyl}} is about to severely injure Ash and Pikachu with its {{m|Hyper Beam}}, Piplup and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} used Bubblebeam and {{m|Ice Beam}}, respectively, to stop the attack. Dawn rushes over with her Pokémon and specifically asks Ash if he is okay.<br />
* ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched!]]''<br />
: Dawn dons a cheerleading outfit while she and her Pokémon cheer for Ash. Ash is thus able to find find the confidence necessary to winning his first [[Badge|gym badge]] in Sinnoh. Neither [[Misty]], {{an|May}}, nor {{an|Iris}} ever went to such lengths in any of Ash's battles, instead choosing to more passively sit on the sidelines when cheering. Dawn reprises her role as Ash's cheerleader twice over series' run.<br />
* ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
* ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''<br />
: Dawn attempts to convince [[Maylene]] to take up Gym Leading again, perhaps finding herself able to relate with the Gym Leader's confidence issues. Dawn admits to Maylene that she wonders if her Contests are holding Ash back, suggesting the possibility that she may worry for his success almost as much as she worries for her own.<br />
* ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''<br />
: For the second time, Dawn cheers for Ash and his Pokémon in her cheerleading outfit. She even goes so far as to include some dancing.<br />
* [[DP069|''Enter Galactic!'']]<br />
: Ash asserts that his victory over [[Maylene]] owes to the training Dawn undertook with {{AP|Buizel}} when it was still in her possession. Dawn quickly blushes and responds somewhat sheepishly, "Well, let's just say that I was going to do anything I could to see an awesome Gym Battle between Ash and Maylene!"<br />
* ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]''<br />
: At the episode's start Dawn comments on how Ash does very well in training his Pokémon and notes that "Ash is incredible!" <br />
* ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]''<br />
: 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!]]''.<br />
* ''[[DP081|Chim-Charred!]]''<br />
: Ash tries to restrain his {{a|Blaze}} induced raging {{TP|Ash|Chimchar}} and his Pokémon bites him on his right shoulder. Dawn attempts to run to Ash's side, but is blocked by Brock. She protests to Brock that Ash needs help, but Brock tells Dawn to let Ash handle Chimchar.<br />
* ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]''<br />
: In another scene, Dawn becomes so frightened by the numerous advancing Croagunk that she clutches Ash's arm and hides behind him.<br />
[[File:High Five DP.png|thumb|right|180px|Ash and Dawn exchange their first high-five in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'']]<br />
* ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]''<br />
: Dawn tells {{an|Monica}} that Ash "won an amazing victory at the Pastoria Gym" and how she admires all of his success as a trainer.<br />
* ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]''<br />
: When Byron's Gym assistant exclaims that [[Byron]] has the upper hand during Ash and Byron's gym battle, Dawn angrily objects, "I am telling you you're wrong! Ash is going to win it for sure!" thereby revealing how confident she is in Ash's abilities.<br />
* ''[[DP113|Hold The Phione!]]''<br />
: When Ash asks Dawn which Pokémon she will use in the upcoming Pokémon Contest, Dawn responds with a wink, slyly asking him, "Well who do you ''think'' I would use?"<br />
* ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]''<br />
: Dawn states that she wants to enter {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} in the {{to|Sandalstraw}} Contest so that it might win for both her and Ash.<br />
*''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
*''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]''<br />
: When Ash, Dawn, Brock, [[Khoury]], and {{an|Lyra}} are trapped in a storage room at the [[Valley Windworks]], Lyra asks Dawn if Ash is her boyfriend. Dawn quickly denies this, expressing not only bewilderment but shock and defensiveness as well. Lyra nevertheless continues drilling Dawn on the subject, pointing out what she believes constitute Ash's strong points. Dawn appears to ponder some of Lyra's statements, perhaps realizing that Lyra has put him in a light she hadn't contemplated before.<br />
*''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''<br />
: After Ash falls into a Trapinch's {{a|Arena Trap}}, Dawn becomes worried and scolds him for endangering himself. While the two argue, Lyra looks on and thinks to herself how nice it is that both Ash and Dawn care for one another as much as they do. Later, Dawn is once again startled by Lyra's talk of romance, although this time Lyra discusses the possibility of {{s|JohtoFesta|dating}} Khoury herself.<br />
* ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''<br />
: After the conclusion of the Grand Festival, Zoey asks Dawn if she would like to accompany her back to Snowpoint City. Dawn declines, saying she has something to do. Zoey assumes that this "something" is cheering for Ash in his upcoming battles, an assumption that Dawn soon confirms is correct.<br />
* ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]''<br />
: Dawn again cheers for Ash and his Pokémon in her cheerleading costume for the third time.<br />
*''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''<br />
: 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. 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.<br />
<br />
===Ash's hints===<br />
* ''[[DP018|O'er The Rampardos We Watched]]''<br />
: Dawn dresses in a cheerleading outfit and cheers for Ash. Ash notices this and, with a grin on his face, remarks, "Gee, thanks Dawn." <br />
* ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
* ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]''<br />
: After Paul tells Ash that he has not seen either Brock or Dawn, Ash wonders if his friends have gotten lost in the maze. He then imagines Dawn yelling, "No need to worry!" while being {{m|Bind|binded}} by an {{p|Onix}} and immediately yells out, "That's when I worry the most!" In the original Japanese episode, Hikari/Dawn yells painfully, "I'm all right! I'm all right!" while Satoshi wryly says "You're not all right at all!" He quickly tells Pikachu that they need to go find everyone.<br />
* ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]''<br />
: Ash enrolls Dawn in the {{ci|Hearthome}} [[Tag Battle Tournament]] in an effort to cheer her up following a recent Contest loss. Informed of this, Dawn objects on the basis that she won't do well, but Ash counters with his belief that she will do great and asks her to simply try her best. Dawn agrees, and Ash, with a big grin on his face, raises his hand to to give her a high-five.<br />
[[File:Ash Displaying Sadness.png|thumb|right|Ash showing emotion over Dawn's second Contest loss]]<br />
* ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]''<br />
: Ash is deeply saddened when Dawn loses in the appeal round for the second time. After the loss, "[[Jessie|Jessilina]]" walks up to her and tells her to leave. Dawn refuses, telling "Jessilina" that she wants to stay, while the camera focuses on Dawn's slightly shaking fist. The camera then cuts to Ash's face. The brown in Ash's eyes can be seen; this usually happens only when Ash is very upset. Ash lowers his head and hides his eyes behind his hat.<br />
* ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''<br />
: Ash credits the training Buizel underwent with Dawn while still in her possession for his recent earning of a badge from [[Maylene]]. Dawn blushes and replies, "Thanks, but it was all worth it to see an amazing battle between you and Maylene, Ash." Ash smiles widely at her.<br />
* ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]''<br />
: Ash asks Dawn to dance during the [[Pastoria Croagunk Festival|Croagunk Festival]].<br />
* ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]''<br />
: Ash and Dawn climb onto Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket's mechas|robot]], but Ash falls off. As he does so, Ash yells Dawn's name twice, once while falling and again after losing sight of her.<br />
* ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''<br />
: Dawn infuriates Ash by suggesting that Ash treat his Pokémon as {{Gary}} does. Some PearlShippers consider that to be jealousy over Dawn's supposed feelings for Gary.<br />
* ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''<br />
: Dawn becomes frustrated while designing outfits for the collection. Ash assures her that all of her designs are good and tells her to just do her best. <br />
* ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''<br />
: When Brock comments on how great [[Conway]] is with his {{p|Venonat}}, Ash begins to worry and yells, "'Kay Dawn, hang in there!" Later, Ash is happy to see Dawn win the prize for being closest to her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<br />
* ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''<br />
: Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}}, hungry for more Poffins, charges her. Ash quickly responds, saving her from injury by placing his arm around her waist and pushing her to safety.<br />
* ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''<br />
: [[Ursula]] insults Dawn, angering her. Dawn prepares a retort but Ash beats her to the punch, yelling to Ursula that Dawn is a much better Coordinator and Trainer than she is.<br />
* ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]''<br />
: Ash discovers that Dawn has fallen into the river and thus becomes worried. He continues to express concern over her well-being until she is found. Meanwhile, {{an|Brock}} does not show nearly as much concern.<br />
* ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''<br />
: Dawn puts on a show for Ash and his Pokémon, but Ash does not know why. Nurse Joy informs him that it Dawn is trying to cheer up not only his Pokémon but him as well. Ash quickly gives Dawn a weird look as if to say, "Is this true?" Dawn responds with a smile and a wink and starts the show. Ash and his Pokémon enjoy themselves.<br />
* ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''<br />
: When Lyra invites Dawn to battle with her {{p|Chikorita}}, Ash exclaims, "Yeah, go Dawn!" and pushes her to the podium by the shoulder.<br />
* ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''<br />
: Lyra tries to play matchmaker with Dawn and Khoury as the target couple. Later, Ash and friends are separated by a flock of {{p|Zubat}} while exploring a cave. Dawn is shown alone and scared with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, but, soon after, Ash is shown running up to her and calling out her name.<br />
* ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]''<br />
: In this episode, Ash states Dawn is awesome and "number one."<br />
* ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
*''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
[[Image:DP191.png|thumb|250px|right|Ash and Dawn's final high five]]<br />
*''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''<br />
: Throughout the episode, Ash was constantly joking around with Dawn. Some PearlShippers think that this was his way of making the goodbye not as heartbreaking. 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.<br />
<br />
===Other hints===<br />
* Unlike {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Iris}}, Dawn asks in a straightforward manner to come along with Ash in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'' rather than coming up with some reason to hide her intentions. In return, Ash accepts her request. While Ash felt some obligation to Misty and May due to Pikachu ruining their bikes, Iris invited herself.<br />
* Since ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'', Ash and Dawn are often seen exchanging high fives whenever one of them accomplishes something, which might possibly portray a friendship.<br />
*[[Dawn's Buneary]] has {{s|Lagomorph|a crush}} on [[Ash's Pikachu]]. This could be a sign that Dawn may have a crush on Ash, since {{an|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. It is to be pointed out that Buneary developed this crush ''before'' Dawn caught it. The claim has also been refuted at various points during the series, so the feelings of the Pokémon are not always definitive to the feelings of the Trainers.<br />
* Ash has watched all of Dawn's Contests. He did not do this with May because he would sometimes be training his Pokémon instead of watching her.<br />
* Dawn is the source of some of the moves and strategies used in battle by Ash, which include [[Ash's Buizel|Ice Aqua Jet]] & [[Dawn's Piplup|Spin]]. Ash watching Dawn's Contest may (in part<!--so as not to exclude their friendship-->) be so he can learn new things to apply in battle, though some say this is because of advice given to him by others.<br />
* One of the movie posters for ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' depicts Pikachu and Piplup sitting on Ash's and Dawn's heads, respectively. Some fans have pointed out that the distance portrayed between Dawn and Ash is very small. However, other fans point out how Ash's hair, which can usually be seen from the sides of his hat, is not present. This may mean the Trainers are not really wearing their hats.<br />
[[File:High Touch Pearlshipping.gif|thumb|200px|Pearlshipping in the Japanese opening [[High Touch!]]]]<br />
* [[High Touch!]] <br />
: The opening is sung by Ash and Dawn. The lyrics show how close their friendship is to each other and their Pokémon. But, mainly to each other. <br />
* ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]''<br />
: While Dawn battled a revived {{p|Aerodactyl}}, Ash is fascinated with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s new dodging tactic that he asks Dawn to help him practice for his rematch. He then has {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}}, and {{AP|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.<br />
* ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]''<br />
: When Ash and Dawn were in the submarine, they saw a school of {{p|Luvdisc}}. Some PearlShippers consider this a hint because Luvdisc's [[Pokédex]] entry says if two people see a school of Luvdisc, they will be blessed with eternal love (however, there's been long-debated discrepancies about how much the anime and the game are relatable, and should not be taken at face value. Also, {{s|Advance|AdvanceShippers}} have a similar hint from the [[M09|ninth movie]]).<br />
<br />
==Movie evidence==<br />
===Dawn's hints===<br />
* ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''<br />
: When {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} first appears in front of Ash and company, Dawn runs over to Ash's side. Several other scenes feature Dawn reacting to Ash's predicaments: when Ash is about to fall off the tower, Dawn rushes over to save him. When Ash saves her from falling of the platform, Dawn looks at him with a thankful expression on her face and is holding his hand. And when Ash begins to cry, believing he lost Darkrai, Dawn looks at him with a worried expression and begins to cry as well.<br />
* ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''<br />
: When Ash tries to defeat Marcus, he has trouble beating {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Bronzong}}. As soon as they both attack Pikachu, Dawn and her Piplup protect Ash and Pikachu, and help him fight. During this time, Brock is not with Dawn and Ash but with [[Sheena]] and [[Damos]].<br />
*''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''<br />
:When Ash became electrocuted, Dawn right away comes to his side to comfort him and make sure he is okay. <br />
<br />
===Ash's hints===<br />
* ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''<br />
: When both Ash and Dawn are falling off the tower together, Ash holds Dawn tight so that she doesn't fall.<br />
* ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''<br />
: When Dawn gets sucked into the Reverse World, Ash yells ''"Dawn!"'' and runs after Dawn into the portal. Brock, for some reason, does not follow Ash's lead.<br />
<br />
===Other movie hints===<br />
Movie Posters<br />
* Throughout most promotional posters of Diamond & Pearl movies, Brock seemed to be excluded, leaving only Ash and Dawn in them.<br />
<br />
==Similarities==<br />
* Both Dawn and Ash saw a [[legendary Pokémon]] at the beginning of their journeys (Ash saw {{an|Ho-Oh}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' and Dawn saw {{p|Mesprit}} in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'').<br />
** They have both seen a [[Lake guardians|lake guardian]]: Dawn and Mesprit in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', and Ash and {{p|Azelf}} in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' (eventually, Brock saw {{p|Uxie}} as well).<br />
* Neither of Ash or Dawn's fathers have ever been acknowledged on-screen in the anime. They also are only children with no siblings.<br />
* They both have childhood [[rival]]s: Ash's is [[Gary Oak]] and Dawn's is {{si|Kenny}}.<br />
* 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.<br />
* He first participated in an official Contest at the same time as Dawn.<br />
* They are the only main characters that have battled members of the [[Elite Four]].<br />
* Just like Ash's Pikachu, [[Dawn's Piplup]] wasn't ready to obey her when they first met. Eventually, they became friends.<br />
** Pikachu saved Ash from {{p|Spearow}} in the beginning of his journey while Piplup saved Dawn from {{p|Ariados}}.<br />
** Both Dawn and Ash's first Pokémon have refused to evolve.<br />
** Both of their {{Pkmn2|starter}}s were able to defeat their evolved forms: {{AP|Pikachu}} beat [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}}, while {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} beat {{si|Kenny}}'s {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}}.<br />
** As of ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', [[Dawn's Piplup]] seems to have become an "out of the ball" Pokémon, as it rarely stays inside its [[Poké Ball]] anymore, and is often seen being carried around by Dawn just as Ash carries around Pikachu on his shoulder.<br />
[[Image:Dominos Ad Nov08.png|thumb|220px|right|Scene from a {{DL|Pokémon food products|Pokémon Domino's Pizza Promotion|2008 Domino's Pizza commercial}}]]<br />
* Both Ash and Dawn have owned Pokémon that refused to obey them at one point (Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, and {{AP|Primeape}}, and Dawn's {{AP|Buizel}} and {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}).<br />
** 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]]).<br />
* They both released the second Pokémon they caught: Ash released {{AP|Pidgeot}} and Dawn released {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. However, Dawn recaptured Pachirisu and Ash said he would come back for Pidgeot (though he has yet to do so).<br />
* Ash and Dawn are the only main characters to trade Pokémon with each other: Ash's {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} for Dawn's {{AP|Buizel}}.<br />
* 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!]]''.<br />
* Just like [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], [[Dawn's Piplup]] stopped evolving in the middle of the evolution process.<br />
* Both own a Pokémon in the {{p|Cyndaquil}} evolutionary line.<br />
* Both released a fully evolved Pokémon from their current team for training during the the ''Diamond and Pearl'' saga.<br />
** Both are part of a two-evolution family and their base forms relate to Generation II.<br />
* In ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'', Dawn rented an affectionate {{p|Grimer}} whose behavior is similar to that of [[Ash's Muk]].<br />
* In ''[[DP105|Get your Rotom Running]]'', while communicating with {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Ash's Grotle|Grotle]] and [[Dawn's Mamoswine|Piloswine]] tackle Ash and Dawn down with affection.<br />
**These two are newly evolved Stage 2 Pokémon.<br />
* Both Ash and Dawn have a primate Pokémon in training. [[Ash's Primeape]] is training for the [[P1 Grand Prix|Pokémon Grand Prix]], while [[Dawn's Ambipom]] is in training for Pokémon Ping-Pong.<br />
*Dawn and Ash both owned a {{p|Cyndaquil}} that knew {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|SmokeScreen}}, and {{m|Swift}}. Both of their Cyndaquil evolved into {{p|Quilava}} and learned {{m|Eruption}} right after their evolutions.<br />

[[Image:Pearlshipping.png|thumb|250px|right|Ash and Dawn holding hands]]<br />
'''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}}, and {{s|Contest}}. 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.<br />
<br />
==Anime evidence==<br />
===Dawn's hints===<br />
* ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
* ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]''<br />
: During a particularly bad hair day, Dawn becomes self-conscious and refuses to let Ash or Brock see her until after {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} is able to address the issue with {{m|BubbleBeam}}. Her problem remedied, Dawn next asks a hygiene-illiterate Ash if he would like his hair done too.<br />
* ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]''<br />
: Dawn comments on how awesome Ash looks when making his appeal in the {{ci|Jubilife}} Contest.<br />
[[File:Dawn Cheer.png|thumb|Dawn in the cheerleading outfit she wore to cheer for Ash]]<br />
* ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]''<br />
: Just as {{p|Aerodactyl}} is about to severely injure Ash and Pikachu with its {{m|Hyper Beam}}, Piplup and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} used Bubblebeam and {{m|Ice Beam}}, respectively, to stop the attack. Dawn rushes over with her Pokémon and specifically asks Ash if he is okay.<br />
* ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched!]]''<br />
: Dawn dons a cheerleading outfit while she and her Pokémon cheer for Ash. Ash is thus able to find find the confidence necessary to winning his first [[Badge|gym badge]] in Sinnoh. Neither [[Misty]], {{an|May}}, nor {{an|Iris}} ever went to such lengths in any of Ash's battles, instead choosing to more passively sit on the sidelines when cheering. Dawn reprises her role as Ash's cheerleader twice over series' run.<br />
* ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
* ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''<br />
: Dawn attempts to convince [[Maylene]] to take up Gym Leading again, perhaps finding herself able to relate with the Gym Leader's confidence issues. Dawn admits to Maylene that she wonders if her Contests are holding Ash back, suggesting the possibility that she may worry for his success almost as much as she worries for her own.<br />
* ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''<br />
: For the second time, Dawn cheers for Ash and his Pokémon in her cheerleading outfit. She even goes so far as to include some dancing.<br />
* [[DP069|''Enter Galactic!'']]<br />
: Ash asserts that his victory over [[Maylene]] owes to the training Dawn undertook with {{AP|Buizel}} when it was still in her possession. Dawn quickly blushes and responds somewhat sheepishly, "Well, let's just say that I was going to do anything I could to see an awesome Gym Battle between Ash and Maylene!"<br />
* ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]''<br />
: At the episode's start Dawn comments on how Ash does very well in training his Pokémon and notes that "Ash is incredible!" <br />
* ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]''<br />
: 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!]]''.<br />
* ''[[DP081|Chim-Charred!]]''<br />
: Ash tries to restrain his {{a|Blaze}} induced raging {{TP|Ash|Chimchar}} and his Pokémon bites him on his right shoulder. Dawn attempts to run to Ash's side, but is blocked by Brock. She protests to Brock that Ash needs help, but Brock tells Dawn to let Ash handle Chimchar.<br />
* ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]''<br />
: In another scene, Dawn becomes so frightened by the numerous advancing Croagunk that she clutches Ash's arm and hides behind him.<br />
[[File:High Five DP.png|thumb|right|180px|Ash and Dawn exchange their first high-five in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'']]<br />
* ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]''<br />
: Dawn tells {{an|Monica}} that Ash "won an amazing victory at the Pastoria Gym" and how she admires all of his success as a trainer.<br />
* ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]''<br />
: When Byron's Gym assistant exclaims that [[Byron]] has the upper hand during Ash and Byron's gym battle, Dawn angrily objects, "I am telling you you're wrong! Ash is going to win it for sure!" thereby revealing how confident she is in Ash's abilities.<br />
* ''[[DP113|Hold The Phione!]]''<br />
: When Ash asks Dawn which Pokémon she will use in the upcoming Pokémon Contest, Dawn responds with a wink, slyly asking him, "Well who do you ''think'' I would use?"<br />
* ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]''<br />
: Dawn states that she wants to enter {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} in the {{to|Sandalstraw}} Contest so that it might win for both her and Ash.<br />
*''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
*''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]''<br />
: When Ash, Dawn, Brock, [[Khoury]], and {{an|Lyra}} are trapped in a storage room at the [[Valley Windworks]], Lyra asks Dawn if Ash is her boyfriend. Dawn quickly denies this, expressing not only bewilderment but shock and defensiveness as well. Lyra nevertheless continues drilling Dawn on the subject, pointing out what she believes constitute Ash's strong points. Dawn appears to ponder some of Lyra's statements, perhaps realizing that Lyra has put him in a light she hadn't contemplated before.<br />
*''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''<br />
: After Ash falls into a Trapinch's {{a|Arena Trap}}, Dawn becomes worried and scolds him for endangering himself. While the two argue, Lyra looks on and thinks to herself how nice it is that both Ash and Dawn care for one another as much as they do. Later, Dawn is once again startled by Lyra's talk of romance, although this time Lyra discusses the possibility of {{s|JohtoFesta|dating}} Khoury herself.<br />
* ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''<br />
: After the conclusion of the Grand Festival, Zoey asks Dawn if she would like to accompany her back to Snowpoint City. Dawn declines, saying she has something to do. Zoey assumes that this "something" is cheering for Ash in his upcoming battles, an assumption that Dawn soon confirms is correct.<br />
* ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]''<br />
: Dawn again cheers for Ash and his Pokémon in her cheerleading costume for the third time.<br />
*''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''<br />
: 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. 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.<br />
In episode "When Pokemon Worlds Collide" Dawn showed a worried expressions when Ash got hit by one of Team Rocket's Machine Tentacles and she had just met him. Later she suggests she travels with Ash and Brock saying that she could spend more time with Pikachu. Perhaps she used Pikachu as an excuse to get to know Ash better<br />
<br />
===Ash's hints===<br />
* ''[[DP018|O'er The Rampardos We Watched]]''<br />
: Dawn dresses in a cheerleading outfit and cheers for Ash. Ash notices this and, with a grin on his face, remarks, "Gee, thanks Dawn." <br />
* ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
* ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]''<br />
: After Paul tells Ash that he has not seen either Brock or Dawn, Ash wonders if his friends have gotten lost in the maze. He then imagines Dawn yelling, "No need to worry!" while being {{m|Bind|binded}} by an {{p|Onix}} and immediately yells out, "That's when I worry the most!" In the original Japanese episode, Hikari/Dawn yells painfully, "I'm all right! I'm all right!" while Satoshi wryly says "You're not all right at all!" He quickly tells Pikachu that they need to go find everyone.<br />
* ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]''<br />
: Ash enrolls Dawn in the {{ci|Hearthome}} [[Tag Battle Tournament]] in an effort to cheer her up following a recent Contest loss. Informed of this, Dawn objects on the basis that she won't do well, but Ash counters with his belief that she will do great and asks her to simply try her best. Dawn agrees, and Ash, with a big grin on his face, raises his hand to to give her a high-five.<br />
[[File:Ash Displaying Sadness.png|thumb|right|Ash showing emotion over Dawn's second Contest loss]]<br />
* ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]''<br />
: Ash is deeply saddened when Dawn loses in the appeal round for the second time. After the loss, "[[Jessie|Jessilina]]" walks up to her and tells her to leave. Dawn refuses, telling "Jessilina" that she wants to stay, while the camera focuses on Dawn's slightly shaking fist. The camera then cuts to Ash's face. The brown in Ash's eyes can be seen; this usually happens only when Ash is very upset. Ash lowers his head and hides his eyes behind his hat.<br />
* ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''<br />
: Ash credits the training Buizel underwent with Dawn while still in her possession for his recent earning of a badge from [[Maylene]]. Dawn blushes and replies, "Thanks, but it was all worth it to see an amazing battle between you and Maylene, Ash." Ash smiles widely at her.<br />
* ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]''<br />
: Ash asks Dawn to dance during the [[Pastoria Croagunk Festival|Croagunk Festival]].<br />
* ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]''<br />
: Ash and Dawn climb onto Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket's mechas|robot]], but Ash falls off. As he does so, Ash yells Dawn's name twice, once while falling and again after losing sight of her.<br />
* ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''<br />
: Dawn infuriates Ash by suggesting that Ash treat his Pokémon as {{Gary}} does. Some PearlShippers consider that to be jealousy over Dawn's supposed feelings for Gary.<br />
* ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''<br />
: Dawn becomes frustrated while designing outfits for the collection. Ash assures her that all of her designs are good and tells her to just do her best. <br />
* ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''<br />
: When Brock comments on how great [[Conway]] is with his {{p|Venonat}}, Ash begins to worry and yells, "'Kay Dawn, hang in there!" Later, Ash is happy to see Dawn win the prize for being closest to her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<br />
* ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''<br />
: Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}}, hungry for more Poffins, charges her. Ash quickly responds, saving her from injury by placing his arm around her waist and pushing her to safety.<br />
* ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''<br />
: [[Ursula]] insults Dawn, angering her. Dawn prepares a retort but Ash beats her to the punch, yelling to Ursula that Dawn is a much better Coordinator and Trainer than she is.<br />
* ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]''<br />
: Ash discovers that Dawn has fallen into the river and thus becomes worried. He continues to express concern over her well-being until she is found. Meanwhile, {{an|Brock}} does not show nearly as much concern.<br />
* ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''<br />
: Dawn puts on a show for Ash and his Pokémon, but Ash does not know why. Nurse Joy informs him that it Dawn is trying to cheer up not only his Pokémon but him as well. Ash quickly gives Dawn a weird look as if to say, "Is this true?" Dawn responds with a smile and a wink and starts the show. Ash and his Pokémon enjoy themselves.<br />
* ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''<br />
: When Lyra invites Dawn to battle with her {{p|Chikorita}}, Ash exclaims, "Yeah, go Dawn!" and pushes her to the podium by the shoulder.<br />
* ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''<br />
: Lyra tries to play matchmaker with Dawn and Khoury as the target couple. Later, Ash and friends are separated by a flock of {{p|Zubat}} while exploring a cave. Dawn is shown alone and scared with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, but, soon after, Ash is shown running up to her and calling out her name.<br />
* ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]''<br />
: In this episode, Ash states Dawn is awesome and "number one."<br />
* ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
*''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]''<br />
: 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.<br />
[[Image:DP191.png|thumb|250px|right|Ash and Dawn's final high five]]<br />
*''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''<br />
: Throughout the episode, Ash was constantly joking around with Dawn. Some PearlShippers think that this was his way of making the goodbye not as heartbreaking. 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.<br />
<br />
===Other hints===<br />
* Unlike {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Iris}}, Dawn asks in a straightforward manner to come along with Ash in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'' rather than coming up with some reason to hide her intentions. In return, Ash accepts her request. While Ash felt some obligation to Misty and May due to Pikachu ruining their bikes, Iris invited herself.<br />
* Since ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'', Ash and Dawn are often seen exchanging high fives whenever one of them accomplishes something, which might possibly portray a friendship.<br />
*[[Dawn's Buneary]] has {{s|Lagomorph|a crush}} on [[Ash's Pikachu]]. This could be a sign that Dawn may have a crush on Ash, since {{an|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. It is to be pointed out that Buneary developed this crush ''before'' Dawn caught it. The claim has also been refuted at various points during the series, so the feelings of the Pokémon are not always definitive to the feelings of the Trainers.<br />
* Ash has watched all of Dawn's Contests. He did not do this with May because he would sometimes be training his Pokémon instead of watching her.<br />
* Dawn is the source of some of the moves and strategies used in battle by Ash, which include [[Ash's Buizel|Ice Aqua Jet]] & [[Dawn's Piplup|Spin]]. Ash watching Dawn's Contest may (in part<!--so as not to exclude their friendship-->) be so he can learn new things to apply in battle, though some say this is because of advice given to him by others.<br />
* One of the movie posters for ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' depicts Pikachu and Piplup sitting on Ash's and Dawn's heads, respectively. Some fans have pointed out that the distance portrayed between Dawn and Ash is very small. However, other fans point out how Ash's hair, which can usually be seen from the sides of his hat, is not present. This may mean the Trainers are not really wearing their hats.<br />
[[File:High Touch Pearlshipping.gif|thumb|200px|Pearlshipping in the Japanese opening [[High Touch!]]]]<br />
* [[High Touch!]] <br />
: The opening is sung by Ash and Dawn. The lyrics show how close their friendship is to each other and their Pokémon. But, mainly to each other. <br />
* ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]''<br />
: While Dawn battled a revived {{p|Aerodactyl}}, Ash is fascinated with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s new dodging tactic that he asks Dawn to help him practice for his rematch. He then has {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}}, and {{AP|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.<br />
* ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]''<br />
: When Ash and Dawn were in the submarine, they saw a school of {{p|Luvdisc}}. Some PearlShippers consider this a hint because Luvdisc's [[Pokédex]] entry says if two people see a school of Luvdisc, they will be blessed with eternal love (however, there's been long-debated discrepancies about how much the anime and the game are relatable, and should not be taken at face value. Also, {{s|Advance|AdvanceShippers}} have a similar hint from the [[M09|ninth movie]]).<br />
<br />
==Movie evidence==<br />
===Dawn's hints===<br />
* ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''<br />
: When {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} first appears in front of Ash and company, Dawn runs over to Ash's side. Several other scenes feature Dawn reacting to Ash's predicaments: when Ash is about to fall off the tower, Dawn rushes over to save him. When Ash saves her from falling of the platform, Dawn looks at him with a thankful expression on her face and is holding his hand. And when Ash begins to cry, believing he lost Darkrai, Dawn looks at him with a worried expression and begins to cry as well.<br />
* ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''<br />
: When Ash tries to defeat Marcus, he has trouble beating {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Bronzong}}. As soon as they both attack Pikachu, Dawn and her Piplup protect Ash and Pikachu, and help him fight. During this time, Brock is not with Dawn and Ash but with [[Sheena]] and [[Damos]].<br />
*''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''<br />
:When Ash became electrocuted, Dawn right away comes to his side to comfort him and make sure he is okay. <br />
<br />
===Ash's hints===<br />
* ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''<br />
: When both Ash and Dawn are falling off the tower together, Ash holds Dawn tight so that she doesn't fall.<br />
* ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''<br />
: When Dawn gets sucked into the Reverse World, Ash yells ''"Dawn!"'' and runs after Dawn into the portal. Brock, for some reason, does not follow Ash's lead.<br />
<br />
===Other movie hints===<br />
Movie Posters<br />
* Throughout most promotional posters of Diamond & Pearl movies, Brock seemed to be excluded, leaving only Ash and Dawn in them.<br />
<br />
==Similarities==<br />
* Both Dawn and Ash saw a [[legendary Pokémon]] at the beginning of their journeys (Ash saw {{an|Ho-Oh}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' and Dawn saw {{p|Mesprit}} in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'').<br />
** They have both seen a [[Lake guardians|lake guardian]]: Dawn and Mesprit in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', and Ash and {{p|Azelf}} in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' (eventually, Brock saw {{p|Uxie}} as well).<br />
* Neither of Ash or Dawn's fathers have ever been acknowledged on-screen in the anime. They also are only children with no siblings.<br />
* They both have childhood [[rival]]s: Ash's is [[Gary Oak]] and Dawn's is {{si|Kenny}}.<br />
* 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.<br />
* He first participated in an official Contest at the same time as Dawn.<br />
* They are the only main characters that have battled members of the [[Elite Four]].<br />
* Just like Ash's Pikachu, [[Dawn's Piplup]] wasn't ready to obey her when they first met. Eventually, they became friends.<br />
** Pikachu saved Ash from {{p|Spearow}} in the beginning of his journey while Piplup saved Dawn from {{p|Ariados}}.<br />
** Both Dawn and Ash's first Pokémon have refused to evolve.<br />
** Both of their {{Pkmn2|starter}}s were able to defeat their evolved forms: {{AP|Pikachu}} beat [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}}, while {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} beat {{si|Kenny}}'s {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}}.<br />
** As of ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', [[Dawn's Piplup]] seems to have become an "out of the ball" Pokémon, as it rarely stays inside its [[Poké Ball]] anymore, and is often seen being carried around by Dawn just as Ash carries around Pikachu on his shoulder.<br />
[[Image:Dominos Ad Nov08.png|thumb|220px|right|Scene from a {{DL|Pokémon food products|Pokémon Domino's Pizza Promotion|2008 Domino's Pizza commercial}}]]<br />
* Both Ash and Dawn have owned Pokémon that refused to obey them at one point (Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, and {{AP|Primeape}}, and Dawn's {{AP|Buizel}} and {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}).<br />
** 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]]).<br />
* They both released the second Pokémon they caught: Ash released {{AP|Pidgeot}} and Dawn released {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. However, Dawn recaptured Pachirisu and Ash said he would come back for Pidgeot (though he has yet to do so).<br />
* Ash and Dawn are the only main characters to trade Pokémon with each other: Ash's {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} for Dawn's {{AP|Buizel}}.<br />
* 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!]]''.<br />
* Just like [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], [[Dawn's Piplup]] stopped evolving in the middle of the evolution process.<br />
* Both own a Pokémon in the {{p|Cyndaquil}} evolutionary line.<br />
* Both released a fully evolved Pokémon from their current team for training during the the ''Diamond and Pearl'' saga.<br />
** Both are part of a two-evolution family and their base forms relate to Generation II.<br />
* In ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'', Dawn rented an affectionate {{p|Grimer}} whose behavior is similar to that of [[Ash's Muk]].<br />
* In ''[[DP105|Get your Rotom Running]]'', while communicating with {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Ash's Grotle|Grotle]] and [[Dawn's Mamoswine|Piloswine]] tackle Ash and Dawn down with affection.<br />
**These two are newly evolved Stage 2 Pokémon.<br />
* Both Ash and Dawn have a primate Pokémon in training. [[Ash's Primeape]] is training for the [[P1 Grand Prix|Pokémon Grand Prix]], while [[Dawn's Ambipom]] is in training for Pokémon Ping-Pong.<br />
*Dawn and Ash both owned a {{p|Cyndaquil}} that knew {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|SmokeScreen}}, and {{m|Swift}}. Both of their Cyndaquil evolved into {{p|Quilava}} and learned {{m|Eruption}} right after their evolutions.<br />

[[File:AdvanceShipping.png|thumb|220px|Ash reassures May]]'''AdvanceShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトハル''' ''SatoHaru'') is the belief that {{Ash}} and {{an|May}} belong in a romantic relationship. This [[Shipping|Ship]] is among the most popular of those based in the anime, along with {{s|Poké}}, {{s|Contest}}, and {{s|Pearl}}.<br />
<br />
This Ship is considered by some to be similar to {{s|Apprentice}}, with Ash in the role of tutor and May in the role of student.<br />
<br />
==Evidence==<br />
There are many points in the anime that seem to support AdvanceShipping. Below is a list of such points from the multiple sagas in which Ash and May appear.<br />
<br />
===Hoenn League saga===<br />
* ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]''[[File:May Ash AdvShip.png|thumb|200px|Yes!]]<br />
:After Ash destroys May's [[bicycle]] accidentally, she angrily goes to tell him off while he is resting in the [[Pokémon Center]]. As she quietly opens the door, she sees Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} resting contently together, and she forgives him without telling him. Later on, May guilts Ash into letting her travel with him. Once he says that she could come along, May strikes a triumphant pose by the camera and yells, "YES!" to show her enthusiasm to the audience. This, coupled with the previous scene where she secretly spies on him and forgives him for his kindness toward Pikachu, shows that May might be taking a liking toward him.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]''<br />
:During the middle of the episode, Ash is eager to ask a few other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s about the Petalburg Gym Leader. Hearing this, May desperately grabs Ash's hand and asks him if they could go eat instead, and if he could show her around the Pokémon Center so Ash wouldn't find out her dad is the Gym Leader; some say this is so Ash would not treat her any differently. Despite his earlier enthusiasm, Ash agrees and they eat. During their meal, Ash and May talk, and Ash becomes May's mentor for the very first time, teaching her how to [[Caught Pokémon|capture]] and [[Pokémon battle|battle]] with Pokémon.<br />
: When Ash goes off to spy on [[Team Magma]], May refuses to be left alone and goes along with him.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG003|There's no Place like Hoenn]]''<br />
:When [[Team Rocket]] steals [[May's Torchic]], she falls to her knees in despair. Seeing this, Ash crouches down next to her and tells her not to worry, promising that he will get her Torchic back for her. Additionally, at the end of the episode, when [[Max]] voices his desire to travel with Ash and May, they both show a shocked expression on their faces, possibly implying that they wanted to travel together, alone.<br />
<br />
*''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]'' <br />
: When a group of Mightyena shows hostility towards the group, May hides behinds Ash for protection, even though Brock could provide protection as easily. However, Ash was also the closer of the two, so whether it is because of reliance or self-preservation is debatable.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]''<br />
:When Ash and May discover that a [[Team Aqua]] intruder is in the [[Devon Corporation|building]] and Max could be in potential danger, she clasps her hands and asks Ash for reassurance and support. Once Ash comforts her, she is relieved. This is the first of many scenes where May continually looks toward Ash for support and reassurance, further expanding on the mentor/student dynamic.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]''<br />
:On [[Dewford Town|Dewford Island]], May decides to strip into a bikini right on the beach. However, instead of just running down to the shore to take a swim, she purposely poses in her bikini in front of Ash and her brother and asks what they think. Ash appears to be embarrassed by the situation, but so is Max (who could arguably seem even more embarrassed), for understandable reasons.<br />
<br />
*''[[AG033|Now That's Flower Power!]]''<br />
:When Drew was criticizing May’s ability as a coordinator, Ash stands up, the camera moving to show his face only, and he quickly went in May’s defense, clearly upset.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]''<br />
:After witnessing May lose her first [[Pokémon Contest]], Ash takes the blame for her loss. He says, "It’s my fault. I wish I’d spent more time with May, teaching her." Later, May cries backstage as everyone tries unsuccessfully to cheer her up.<br />
<br />
*''[[AG064|True Blue Swablu!]]''<br />
:When May wants to stay and help {{p|Swablu}}'s injuries get better, Ash generously tells her, "You're going to take any time you need to help your buddy out," even though his first priority is making it to the [[Fortree Gym]]; however, some argue that Ash also cared about the Swablu. Also, when Max is saying, "Which reminds me of when she had a crush on this boy in school and she actually tried to--" she quickly cuts him off, saying, "I was such a child then!" This could suggest that she didn't want Ash to know that she had a previous crush.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG067|Go Go Ludicolo]]''<br />
:When confronted by Max about whether she wants Ash to win over her Dad—[[Norman]] of the [[Petalburg Gym]]—or not, May gives flustered responses. While Max is quick to make up his mind and cheer for his father, May cheers for Ash. Max yells, "What, how can you want Ash to win over our Dad?" May blushes and says, "Well I want Dad to win...but I don't want Ash to lose!"<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]''<br />
:During the ending of the episode, May once again seems torn about whom should she cheer for in the upcoming gym battle.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]''<br />
:Expanding on the previous hints, When {{AP|Pikachu}} is hit by a {{M|Flamethrower}} from Norman's {{p|Vigoroth}}, May tries to help Ash by telling him to [[Recall|switch]]. Brock then says that it's not a good idea, causing May to hastily shut her mouth with her hands in terror. Moreover, at multiple points during the battle, May seems worried and terrified when Ash is losing and happy when Ash is winning. This behavior highly implies that May chose Ash over her own father, at least subconsciously.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG072|The Bicker The Better]]''<br />
:Considered to be the first episode where the idea of AdvanceShipping was first introduced, Ash and May are confronted by [[Oscar and Andi]], a young couple who are obsessed with the idea of love and romance.<br />
:When Oscar and Andi call Ash and May a "happy couple," the two of them quickly deny it and turn their backs to one another, crossing their arms. Ash says sarcastically, "That's a laugh!" and May adds, "Hardy har har!" Oscar and Andi do not stop there, and continue to call them a couple. Ash and May scream, "We're not a couple!" in unison, with the same body language, followed by, "And we're not happy either!" in the same tone in which Oscar and Andi state that they 'both answered together' further causing tensions between the two.<br />
:As the episode pours on, Ash and May continue to argue and bicker back and forth, presumably to get their minds off the idea of being called a couple by Oscar and Andi. After a [[double battle|tag battle]] against [[Jessie]] and [[James]] at the end, Ash and May bashfully forgive each other for their argument, and apologize as they stare at each other while the sunset closes behind them.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria]]''<br />
:When May is lost in the forbidden land of the {{t|Grass}} Pokémon, Ash once again steps in to save her despite the warnings. After his Tarzan-esque entrance to save May from the fierce and threatening Grass Pokémon that were about to attack her, he grabs her by the hand and runs with her to clear a path to safety. Ash and May continue to hold hands as they are running away from the menacing Pokémon, a rare sight between them, despite being for safety reasons. <br />
<br />
* ''[[AG074|Hokey Poké Balls]]''<br />
:This episode further brings up the parallelism between Ash and May, by having their two {{p|Bulbasaur}} meet each other. Moreover, the two Bulbasaur show signs of liking one another, a ship that is called {{s|Vine}}. Throughout the episode, May makes several comments about how their Bulbasaur are such a great team, and how they are, "Two peas in a Poképod." Before Ash sends {{AP|Bulbasaur}} back to {{an|Professor Oak}}, it pats [[May's Bulbasaur]] on the head sweetly with its vine, saying goodbye. <br />
:May's Bulbasaur is impressed as Ash's Bulbasaur is sent back. {{s|Vine}} is one of the parallels that is used to push Advanceshipping, as canon characters such as Professor Oak and Brock have said in the past that Pokémon represent the feelings of their Trainers, and that when two Pokémon fall in love, there is a good chance that their Trainers will as well. While the Bulbasaur haven't fallen in love with each other yet, it is the first step in their parallel romance. It can be noted that their respective Bulbasaur's seem to reflect the current relationship of their Trainers, with Ash's Bulbasaur as a guide and mentor to May's Bulbasaur. However, the claim has also been refuted at various points during the series, so the feelings of the Pokémon are ''not always'' definitive to the feelings of the Trainers.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG078|Cruisin'for a Losin]]''<br />
:May is sulking on a bench outside the [[Contest Hall]] because she lost her match. Ash comes alone to comfort her, cheering her up while patting her Bulbasaur on the head and sitting next to her on the bench. This is followed by a sheepish smile and a "Thank you Ash," from May.<br />
:Ash is known to be rash and short tempered, and is not one to apologize easily, yet, when he and May were arguing about contest/gym battles before, Ash never raised his voice at her. Afterwards, when confronting her about running from contest after losing to Savannah, his tone is both kind and compassionate; and says that he doesn’t blame her for yelling at him before. This is a side of Ash we rarely see. <br />
<br />
* ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''<br />
:When Ash is about to hop on top of {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}} and go with [[Lance]] to save Pikachu from its bonding with the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Blue Orb}} and {{p|Groudon}}, Ash says "Thanks, guys," but is only looking at May. May approaches Ash and says, "Don't do anything crazy Ash," in a concerned tone.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG105|Once in a Mawile]]''<br />
:In another love-themed episode, Ash is confused about the concept of love. May teases him and says, "Spoken like a maaaaaan," in the [[dub]] while she says, "And he doesn't get it," in the original Japanese. As the episode continues, Ash says, "No sense in going out of your way just to make somebody like you," to which May responds, "And he still acts like a man," in the dub while in the raw, "And he reeeaaaally doesn't get it." This is the second episode in which May teases Ash about love.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt]]''<br />
:May holds onto [[Ash's hat]] while he is lost with {{AP|Snorunt}} in a {{m|blizzard}}, and continues to do so during the entire search, frantically hoping to find him again, which is seen as a romantic gesture. Once they meet up again, she says, "I believe this is yours!" and hands Ash back his hat.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG114|Date Expectations]]''<br />
:In the middle of the episode, Ash and May are separated from the group. May does her expedition routine and thinks about the concept of being lost with Ash in the woods forever. This idea causes her to have little red blushes on her cheeks. During the last act of the episode, May misses her chance to catch the ferry to her final Contest. In despair, she starts to cry. Sensing her pain, Ash puts his hands firmly on her shoulders and and stares intensely into her eyes, giving her the courage to go on while he takes care of her little brother. Moved, May rejects Ash's offer of moving on without them, and tells him about the promise she made with her [[Caroline|mother]]. As she talks, she gradually perks up and suggests that they go to look for Max and Brock. Touched, Ash agrees.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG123|Rhapsody In Drew!]]''<br />
:As soon as May finishes talking to Drew, Ash holds up an ice cream to her face and said he thought she may have wanted dessert. This shows the thoughtfulness Ash has for May.<br />
<br />
===Battle Frontier saga===<br />
* ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''<br />
:May decides that she wants to continue traveling with Ash after Hoenn ends, which compels her to travel from the [[Hoenn]] region on her own to meet up with Ash in [[Pallet Town]]. This was before she found out there were Contests in [[Kanto]], so she decided that she wanted to be by Ash's side even if it meant not continuing her [[Coordinator]] dream for the time being. When May shows up at Ash's house, Delia recognizes her on sight, even though she has never seen her before. This could suggest that Ash has told her a lot about May. When May sees Max, she seems surprised, then angry at him for coming. This could suggest that she wanted to travel with Ash alone. Ash and May share a scene on the couch together, where Ash asks her if she wants to come along with him through Kanto. May of course agrees, while Delia is watching them converse, and blushes, thinking, ''Ash has such good friends''. This could ''possibly'' be due to how close she thinks the two are.<br />
:During the battle with [[Team Rocket]], May can be seen glancing towards Ash's direction after her [[May's Venusaur|Bulbasaur]] used {{m|Petal Dance}}. Soon after, Ash used ''his'' {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, to use {{m|SolarBeam}}, and blast away Jessie and James's Pokémon. It could suggest that May wanted Ash to battle with her. <br />
<br />
* ''[[AG144|A Hurdle for Squirtle]]''<br />
:When May steps on the Contest Stage, Ash is the only one (of the three) that cheers, saying, "Let's go May! All right!"<br />
:This is also reflected in all of May's other Contests, in which Ash always seems to be emotionally involved and always helping May when she is in a dilemma by shouting helpful advice to her, though being enthusiastic and supportive seems to be part of Ash's personality, as he has done that for pretty much everyone he has wanted to win a battle or contest.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony!]]''<br />
:When May hears sounds made by scary {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon, she frantically goes to Ash and tries to wake him up in his sleeping bag. She presses her hands desperately against his chest to wake him up, yet she didn't do the same to Brock, who could have come to her aid just as easily. This is another example of May choosing Ash over anyone else when she is in fear or doubt.<br />
[[File:Ash May Sleep.png|thumb|right|May trying to wake up Ash]]<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]''<br />
:May falls off a rope bridge and clutches for her life. Once again she cries out for Ash several times, despite the fact that Brock is standing with Ash as well. Ash calls out May's name as he pulls her to safety, but not once does May give any gratitude toward Brock for saving her, only Ash (this does not occur in the English dub). In the English dub Ash calls out only May's name but Max was there as well. This could be taken that May relies more on Ash than the others to help her, but is not necessarily a romantic hint.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]''<br />
:James says to Ash that they were helping ''his'' girl (May) in the Contest.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG173|All That Glitters is Not Golden!]]''<br />
:After setting up camp, May says that she'll go get them some water. Ash, instead of finding something else to do, or helping Max with the firewood, because that is arguably harder than getting water, offers to help May, saying, "I'll help with that." in a kind tone that he rarely uses.<br />
<br />
*''[[AG174|New Plot-Odd Lot]]''<br />
:While May worries about the contest, Ash volunteers right away that he “would be happy to help her train.” May looks at him gratefully and thanked him. Later, after being infuriated by Harley, May quickly says, “Ash! Want to train?” Ash quickly finishes his food and stands up, then replies, “Right behind you!” in a determined fashion<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]''<br />
:After Ash's battle with [[Brandon]] and Ash returning to normal, he says to May, Brock, and Max, "You guys are the best." May replies, "Ash, if you keep talking like that, I'm going to blush."<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''<br />
:Ash and May end the Terracotta Contest in a tie; there is only one ribbon, and they can't decide whom to give the ribbon to. May looks at Ash, Ash looks at May, and they nod at each other, and then Ash tells Sceptile to Leaf Blade the ribbon in half. This demonstrates that, occasionally, neither Ash nor May need to speak to know what the other is thinking because they share such a close bond, though some argue that this could also just be strong friendship.<br />
:In ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy!]]'', [[Erica]] and [[Joshua (coordinator)|Joshua]] were seen in a fantasy holding a split ribbon while [[Vivian Meridian|Vivian]] was referring to a couple winning a Contest. Ash and May's victory and split ribbon parallel this.<br />
:In the Japanese version, when Haruka announces that she wants to go to Johto, Masato runs off. When Satoshi goes to comfort him, Masato asks, "Why is {{tt|Onee-chan|Big Sister}} so happy? It's really fun when Satoshi and Onee-chan are together...." This could suggest that Masato wants Haruka and Satoshi to be together.<br />
<br />
===Diamond and Pearl saga===<br />
[[File:Ash May Split Ribbon.png|right|thumb|150px|Ash and May with the ribbon halves]]<br />
* ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''<br />
:May joins up with Ash, Brock, and Dawn in [[Sinnoh]]. Later that day, in the evening, Ash and May both pull out their halves of the ribbon that they tied for, and hold the pieces together. May also says how the ribbon reminds her of Ash's encouragement, and how it has saved her numerous times in [[Johto]].<br />
<br />
* ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]''<br />
:Before May leaves to return to Johto, she and the rest of the group share goodbyes. She and Ash speak last, each telling the other to do their best in their respective paths. It is only when May is speaking with Ash (despite the fact she was exchanging farewells with everyone) that she holds her heart. Further indication is that when both May and Ash say their goodbyes, each of their eyes glimmer. In the anime, when a character's eyes glimmer it represents a type of {{tt|passion|Not necessarily romantic passion, but possibly passionate determination}}.<br />
<br />
===Movies===<br />
* ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''<br />
:On one of the nights when May folds a tab on the wishing star, she afterward looks toward Ash who is skipping rocks across a river. The camera then goes back to May, showing the very anxious look on her face. Because of this scene, many AdvanceShippers believe that May's wish involves Ash, although the nature of the wish is never confirmed. In this example, however, one must account for the fact that Max and Jirachi are skipping rocks with Ash, as well as the fact that nothing else is going on at the time. When she looks "anxious" after viewing the scene, it could be partially due to sadness, since she knows that her little brother and Jirachi have very few days left together and will never see each other again afterward. As she looks away from the scene, she glances back at her wishing star and views the final two leaflets, which remind her that the week is coming to an end.<br />
:It could be noted that May made the wish before Jirachi hatched, so it would be impossible have made the wish about Max and how he would miss Jirachi. Arguably, there is the possibility of the wish being a top coordinator, yet having her stare at Ash, and have her smile fall brings doubt on the theory. <br />
[[File:Advance Shipping 2.png|thumb|right|Ash and May in [[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]]]<br />
* ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''<br />
:Ash tries to pick a fight with [[Tory Lund]]. In order to stop him, May throws her body on top of Ash and pleas for him to stop. She places her hands on his shoulders and desperately tries to convince him to calm down. Ash is surprised by her action, and maintains a shocked expression as he quickly agrees, and calms down. <br />
<br />
* ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''<br />
:Ash once again loses his cool and is mad at {{an|Lucario}}. May quickly rushes down into the lake where Ash is standing and clutches his arm, trying to prevent him from getting himself in trouble. May holds onto him frantically until the situation is resolved. Afterward, May follows Ash around "mothering" him, telling him to get himself dry before he catches a cold.<br />
<br />
*''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''<br />
:As Ash and May go swimming with {{mov|Manaphy|Manaphy|9}}, a school of {{p|Luvdisc}}, the Pokémon thought to symbolize love, follows and swims with them. This is accompanied by shots of Ash and May looking at each other and smiling, while still surrounded by the Luvdisc. It can be noted that, even though Dawn has seen Luvdisc with Ash as well, Ash and May were the only ones that swam with them, further encouraging the Ruby Pokédex description below.<br />
:It could be interesting to note that the Sapphire Pokédex has stated that "any couple" (Suggesting even friends) "meeting" Luvdisc's "is promised a loving relationship that never ends"; whilst the Ruby Pokédex has stated that Luvdiscs would "swim after loving couples it spotted in the ocean's waves." This could suggest that May and Ash have a deep connection with each other, romantic or not. <br />
<br />
:When Manaphy goes missing, May begins sobbing, heartbroken. Ash gazes at her with a pained expression and glistening eyes. <br />
<br />
:While [[Samiya]] is being flooded with water, Ash puts May, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Manaphy in a capsule left behind by [[The Phantom]], allowing them to survive in the event that his plan to replace the crystal fails. Distressed, May calls out to Ash with tearful eyes, but Ash only asks her to remain safe in there, and leaves with the brown in his eyes seen; this usually happens only when Ash is very upset or very emotional. May continues to pray for Ash's safety and is nearly driven to tears by the thought that he may not return. Manaphy sends May's prayers to Ash using Heart Swap, and with these thoughts spurring him on, Ash recoveres from his near-drowned state and replaces the crystal, saving Samiya.<br />
<br />
:After Samiya is raised, May leaves the capsule, initially thrilled that the temple has been saved. (In the Japanese language version of the movie, she acknowledges that Satoshi is the one who saved the Temple by saying "This is Satoshi's doing, isn't it?") Her happiness, however, is quickly replaced by sadness and the fear that Ash will not return. "It can't be..." she says. "No way..." Her joy returns as soon as Ash flies up out of the water, chases down Captain Phantom, and saves the abducted Manaphy. In the manga adaption of the movie, when May and Pikachu are unsure of whether or not Ash survived trying to save the Sea Temple, she clutches Pikachu and is tearing up, but still retains hope in Ash by saying, "Ash wouldn't leave us like this..."<br />
<br />
:Additionally, at multiple points during the movie, Manaphy seems very happy around Ash, best exemplified by the fact that it seemed content and happy in Ash's arms, when it's seen to only to accept May's company, even using {{m|Heart Swap}} to switch between Ash and [[Jack Walker]] when the latter held it, immediately regaining its happiness after doing so. Many AdvanceShippers suggest that Manaphy has chosen Ash to be his 'father'.<br />
<br />
:When Ranger Jack moves to return into the Temple, Ash calls and warns him that it is too dangerous. Although, he submits when Jack tells him he will be fine. However, when May runs back into the Temple to follow Manaphy, Ash instinctively runs after her, presumably because, of everyone, he doesn't want to put her in danger.<br />
<br />
:It can also be noted that Jackie Walker recognized that Ash, not Max, was the closest to May and specifically asked him to separate May and Manaphy.<br />
<br />

[[File:AdvanceShipping.png|thumb|220px|Ash reassures May]]'''AdvanceShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトハル''' ''SatoHaru'') is the belief that {{Ash}} and {{an|May}} belong in a romantic relationship. This [[Shipping|Ship]] is among the most popular of those based in the anime, along with {{s|Poké}}, {{s|Contest}}, and {{s|Pearl}}.<br />
<br />
This Ship is considered by some to be similar to {{s|Apprentice}}, with Ash in the role of tutor and May in the role of student.<br />
<br />
==Evidence==<br />
There are many points in the anime that seem to support AdvanceShipping. Below is a list of such points from the multiple sagas in which Ash and May appear.<br />
<br />
===Hoenn League saga===<br />
* ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]''[[File:May Ash AdvShip.png|thumb|200px|Yes!]]<br />
:After Ash destroys May's [[bicycle]] accidentally, she angrily goes to tell him off while he is resting in the [[Pokémon Center]]. As she quietly opens the door, she sees Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} resting contently together, and she forgives him without telling him. Later on, May guilts Ash into letting her travel with him. Once he says that she could come along, May strikes a triumphant pose by the camera and yells, "YES!" to show her enthusiasm to the audience. This, coupled with the previous scene where she secretly spies on him and forgives him for his kindness toward Pikachu, shows that May might be taking a liking toward him.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]''<br />
:During the middle of the episode, Ash is eager to ask a few other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s about the Petalburg Gym Leader. Hearing this, May desperately grabs Ash's hand and asks him if they could go eat instead, and if he could show her around the Pokémon Center so Ash wouldn't find out her dad is the Gym Leader; some say this is so Ash would not treat her any differently. Despite his earlier enthusiasm, Ash agrees and they eat. During their meal, Ash and May talk, and Ash becomes May's mentor for the very first time, teaching her how to [[Caught Pokémon|capture]] and [[Pokémon battle|battle]] with Pokémon.<br />
: When Ash goes off to spy on [[Team Magma]], May refuses to be left alone and goes along with him.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG003|There's no Place like Hoenn]]''<br />
:When [[Team Rocket]] steals [[May's Torchic]], she falls to her knees in despair. Seeing this, Ash crouches down next to her and tells her not to worry, promising that he will get her Torchic back for her. Additionally, at the end of the episode, when [[Max]] voices his desire to travel with Ash and May, they both show a shocked expression on their faces, possibly implying that they wanted to travel together, alone.<br />
<br />
*''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]'' <br />
: When a group of Mightyena shows hostility towards the group, May hides behinds Ash for protection, even though Brock could provide protection as easily. However, Ash was also the closer of the two, so whether it is because of reliance or self-preservation is debatable.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]''<br />
:When Ash and May discover that a [[Team Aqua]] intruder is in the [[Devon Corporation|building]] and Max could be in potential danger, she clasps her hands and asks Ash for reassurance and support. Once Ash comforts her, she is relieved. This is the first of many scenes where May continually looks toward Ash for support and reassurance, further expanding on the mentor/student dynamic.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]''<br />
:On [[Dewford Town|Dewford Island]], May decides to strip into a bikini right on the beach. However, instead of just running down to the shore to take a swim, she purposely poses in her bikini in front of Ash and her brother and asks what they think. Ash appears to be embarrassed by the situation, but so is Max (who could arguably seem even more embarrassed), for understandable reasons.<br />
<br />
*''[[AG033|Now That's Flower Power!]]''<br />
:When Drew was criticizing May’s ability as a coordinator, Ash stands up, the camera moving to show his face only, and he quickly went in May’s defense, clearly upset.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]''<br />
:After witnessing May lose her first [[Pokémon Contest]], Ash takes the blame for her loss. He says, "It’s my fault. I wish I’d spent more time with May, teaching her." Later, May cries backstage as everyone tries unsuccessfully to cheer her up.<br />
<br />
*''[[AG064|True Blue Swablu!]]''<br />
:When May wants to stay and help {{p|Swablu}}'s injuries get better, Ash generously tells her, "You're going to take any time you need to help your buddy out," even though his first priority is making it to the [[Fortree Gym]]; however, some argue that Ash also cared about the Swablu. Also, when Max is saying, "Which reminds me of when she had a crush on this boy in school and she actually tried to--" she quickly cuts him off, saying, "I was such a child then!" This could suggest that she didn't want Ash to know that she had a previous crush.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG067|Go Go Ludicolo]]''<br />
:When confronted by Max about whether she wants Ash to win over her Dad—[[Norman]] of the [[Petalburg Gym]]—or not, May gives flustered responses. While Max is quick to make up his mind and cheer for his father, May cheers for Ash. Max yells, "What, how can you want Ash to win over our Dad?" May blushes and says, "Well I want Dad to win...but I don't want Ash to lose!"<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]''<br />
:During the ending of the episode, May once again seems torn about whom should she cheer for in the upcoming gym battle.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]''<br />
:Expanding on the previous hints, When {{AP|Pikachu}} is hit by a {{M|Flamethrower}} from Norman's {{p|Vigoroth}}, May tries to help Ash by telling him to [[Recall|switch]]. Brock then says that it's not a good idea, causing May to hastily shut her mouth with her hands in terror. Moreover, at multiple points during the battle, May seems worried and terrified when Ash is losing and happy when Ash is winning. This behavior highly implies that May chose Ash over her own father, at least subconsciously.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG072|The Bicker The Better]]''<br />
:Considered to be the first episode where the idea of AdvanceShipping was first introduced, Ash and May are confronted by [[Oscar and Andi]], a young couple who are obsessed with the idea of love and romance.<br />
:When Oscar and Andi call Ash and May a "happy couple," the two of them quickly deny it and turn their backs to one another, crossing their arms. Ash says sarcastically, "That's a laugh!" and May adds, "Hardy har har!" Oscar and Andi do not stop there, and continue to call them a couple. Ash and May scream, "We're not a couple!" in unison, with the same body language, followed by, "And we're not happy either!" in the same tone in which Oscar and Andi state that they 'both answered together' further causing tensions between the two.<br />
:As the episode pours on, Ash and May continue to argue and bicker back and forth, presumably to get their minds off the idea of being called a couple by Oscar and Andi. After a [[double battle|tag battle]] against [[Jessie]] and [[James]] at the end, Ash and May bashfully forgive each other for their argument, and apologize as they stare at each other while the sunset closes behind them.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria]]''<br />
:When May is lost in the forbidden land of the {{t|Grass}} Pokémon, Ash once again steps in to save her despite the warnings. After his Tarzan-esque entrance to save May from the fierce and threatening Grass Pokémon that were about to attack her, he grabs her by the hand and runs with her to clear a path to safety. Ash and May continue to hold hands as they are running away from the menacing Pokémon, a rare sight between them, despite being for safety reasons. <br />
<br />
* ''[[AG074|Hokey Poké Balls]]''<br />
:This episode further brings up the parallelism between Ash and May, by having their two {{p|Bulbasaur}} meet each other. Moreover, the two Bulbasaur show signs of liking one another, a ship that is called {{s|Vine}}. Throughout the episode, May makes several comments about how their Bulbasaur are such a great team, and how they are, "Two peas in a Poképod." Before Ash sends {{AP|Bulbasaur}} back to {{an|Professor Oak}}, it pats [[May's Bulbasaur]] on the head sweetly with its vine, saying goodbye. <br />
:May's Bulbasaur is impressed as Ash's Bulbasaur is sent back. {{s|Vine}} is one of the parallels that is used to push Advanceshipping, as canon characters such as Professor Oak and Brock have said in the past that Pokémon represent the feelings of their Trainers, and that when two Pokémon fall in love, there is a good chance that their Trainers will as well. While the Bulbasaur haven't fallen in love with each other yet, it is the first step in their parallel romance. It can be noted that their respective Bulbasaur's seem to reflect the current relationship of their Trainers, with Ash's Bulbasaur as a guide and mentor to May's Bulbasaur. However, the claim has also been refuted at various points during the series, so the feelings of the Pokémon are ''not always'' definitive to the feelings of the Trainers.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG078|Cruisin'for a Losin]]''<br />
:May is sulking on a bench outside the [[Contest Hall]] because she lost her match. Ash comes alone to comfort her, cheering her up while patting her Bulbasaur on the head and sitting next to her on the bench. This is followed by a sheepish smile and a "Thank you Ash," from May.<br />
:Ash is known to be rash and short tempered, and is not one to apologize easily, yet, when he and May were arguing about contest/gym battles before, Ash never raised his voice at her. Afterwards, when confronting her about running from contest after losing to Savannah, his tone is both kind and compassionate; and says that he doesn’t blame her for yelling at him before. This is a side of Ash we rarely see. <br />
<br />
* ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''<br />
:When Ash is about to hop on top of {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}} and go with [[Lance]] to save Pikachu from its bonding with the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Blue Orb}} and {{p|Groudon}}, Ash says "Thanks, guys," but is only looking at May. May approaches Ash and says, "Don't do anything crazy Ash," in a concerned tone.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG105|Once in a Mawile]]''<br />
:In another love-themed episode, Ash is confused about the concept of love. May teases him and says, "Spoken like a maaaaaan," in the [[dub]] while she says, "And he doesn't get it," in the original Japanese. As the episode continues, Ash says, "No sense in going out of your way just to make somebody like you," to which May responds, "And he still acts like a man," in the dub while in the raw, "And he reeeaaaally doesn't get it." This is the second episode in which May teases Ash about love.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt]]''<br />
:May holds onto [[Ash's hat]] while he is lost with {{AP|Snorunt}} in a {{m|blizzard}}, and continues to do so during the entire search, frantically hoping to find him again, which is seen as a romantic gesture. Once they meet up again, she says, "I believe this is yours!" and hands Ash back his hat.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG114|Date Expectations]]''<br />
:In the middle of the episode, Ash and May are separated from the group. May does her expedition routine and thinks about the concept of being lost with Ash in the woods forever. This idea causes her to have little red blushes on her cheeks. During the last act of the episode, May misses her chance to catch the ferry to her final Contest. In despair, she starts to cry. Sensing her pain, Ash puts his hands firmly on her shoulders and and stares intensely into her eyes, giving her the courage to go on while he takes care of her little brother. Moved, May rejects Ash's offer of moving on without them, and tells him about the promise she made with her [[Caroline|mother]]. As she talks, she gradually perks up and suggests that they go to look for Max and Brock. Touched, Ash agrees.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG123|Rhapsody In Drew!]]''<br />
:As soon as May finishes talking to Drew, Ash holds up an ice cream to her face and said he thought she may have wanted dessert. This shows the thoughtfulness Ash has for May.<br />
<br />
===Battle Frontier saga===<br />
* ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''<br />
:May decides that she wants to continue traveling with Ash after Hoenn ends, which compels her to travel from the [[Hoenn]] region on her own to meet up with Ash in [[Pallet Town]]. This was before she found out there were Contests in [[Kanto]], so she decided that she wanted to be by Ash's side even if it meant not continuing her [[Coordinator]] dream for the time being. When May shows up at Ash's house, Delia recognizes her on sight, even though she has never seen her before. This could suggest that Ash has told her a lot about May. When May sees Max, she seems surprised, then angry at him for coming. This could suggest that she wanted to travel with Ash alone. Ash and May share a scene on the couch together, where Ash asks her if she wants to come along with him through Kanto. May of course agrees, while Delia is watching them converse, and blushes, thinking, ''Ash has such good friends''. This could ''possibly'' be due to how close she thinks the two are.<br />
:During the battle with [[Team Rocket]], May can be seen glancing towards Ash's direction after her [[May's Venusaur|Bulbasaur]] used {{m|Petal Dance}}. Soon after, Ash used ''his'' {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, to use {{m|SolarBeam}}, and blast away Jessie and James's Pokémon. It could suggest that May wanted Ash to battle with her. <br />
<br />
* ''[[AG144|A Hurdle for Squirtle]]''<br />
:When May steps on the Contest Stage, Ash is the only one (of the three) that cheers, saying, "Let's go May! All right!"<br />
:This is also reflected in all of May's other Contests, in which Ash always seems to be emotionally involved and always helping May when she is in a dilemma by shouting helpful advice to her, though being enthusiastic and supportive seems to be part of Ash's personality, as he has done that for pretty much everyone he has wanted to win a battle or contest.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony!]]''<br />
:When May hears sounds made by scary {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon, she frantically goes to Ash and tries to wake him up in his sleeping bag. She presses her hands desperately against his chest to wake him up, yet she didn't do the same to Brock, who could have come to her aid just as easily. This is another example of May choosing Ash over anyone else when she is in fear or doubt.<br />
[[File:Ash May Sleep.png|thumb|right|May trying to wake up Ash]]<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]''<br />
:May falls off a rope bridge and clutches for her life. Once again she cries out for Ash several times, despite the fact that Brock is standing with Ash as well. Ash calls out May's name as he pulls her to safety, but not once does May give any gratitude toward Brock for saving her, only Ash (this does not occur in the English dub). In the English dub Ash calls out only May's name but Max was there as well. This could be taken that May relies more on Ash than the others to help her, but is not necessarily a romantic hint.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]''<br />
:James says to Ash that they were helping ''his'' girl (May) in the Contest.<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG173|All That Glitters is Not Golden!]]''<br />
:After setting up camp, May says that she'll go get them some water. Ash, instead of finding something else to do, or helping Max with the firewood, because that is arguably harder than getting water, offers to help May, saying, "I'll help with that." in a kind tone that he rarely uses.<br />
<br />
*''[[AG174|New Plot-Odd Lot]]''<br />
:While May worries about the contest, Ash volunteers right away that he “would be happy to help her train.” May looks at him gratefully and thanked him. Later, after being infuriated by Harley, May quickly says, “Ash! Want to train?” Ash quickly finishes his food and stands up, then replies, “Right behind you!” in a determined fashion<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]''<br />
:After Ash's battle with [[Brandon]] and Ash returning to normal, he says to May, Brock, and Max, "You guys are the best." May replies, "Ash, if you keep talking like that, I'm going to blush."<br />
<br />
* ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''<br />
:Ash and May end the Terracotta Contest in a tie; there is only one ribbon, and they can't decide whom to give the ribbon to. May looks at Ash, Ash looks at May, and they nod at each other, and then Ash tells Sceptile to Leaf Blade the ribbon in half. This demonstrates that, occasionally, neither Ash nor May need to speak to know what the other is thinking because they share such a close bond, though some argue that this could also just be strong friendship.<br />
:In ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy!]]'', [[Erica]] and [[Joshua (coordinator)|Joshua]] were seen in a fantasy holding a split ribbon while [[Vivian Meridian|Vivian]] was referring to a couple winning a Contest. Ash and May's victory and split ribbon parallel this.<br />
:In the Japanese version, when Haruka announces that she wants to go to Johto, Masato runs off. When Satoshi goes to comfort him, Masato asks, "Why is {{tt|Onee-chan|Big Sister}} so happy? It's really fun when Satoshi and Onee-chan are together...." This could suggest that Masato wants Haruka and Satoshi to be together.<br />
<br />
===Diamond and Pearl saga===<br />
[[File:Ash May Split Ribbon.png|right|thumb|150px|Ash and May with the ribbon halves]]<br />
* ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''<br />
:May joins up with Ash, Brock, and Dawn in [[Sinnoh]]. Later that day, in the evening, Ash and May both pull out their halves of the ribbon that they tied for, and hold the pieces together. May also says how the ribbon reminds her of Ash's encouragement, and how it has saved her numerous times in [[Johto]].<br />
<br />
* ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]''<br />
:Before May leaves to return to Johto, she and the rest of the group share goodbyes. She and Ash speak last, each telling the other to do their best in their respective paths. It is only when May is speaking with Ash (despite the fact she was exchanging farewells with everyone) that she holds her heart. Further indication is that when both May and Ash say their goodbyes, each of their eyes glimmer. In the anime, when a character's eyes glimmer it represents a type of {{tt|passion|Not necessarily romantic passion, but possibly passionate determination}}.<br />
<br />
===Movies===<br />
* ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''<br />
:On one of the nights when May folds a tab on the wishing star, she afterward looks toward Ash who is skipping rocks across a river. The camera then goes back to May, showing the very anxious look on her face. Because of this scene, many AdvanceShippers believe that May's wish involves Ash, although the nature of the wish is never confirmed. In this example, however, one must account for the fact that Max and Jirachi are skipping rocks with Ash, as well as the fact that nothing else is going on at the time. When she looks "anxious" after viewing the scene, it could be partially due to sadness, since she knows that her little brother and Jirachi have very few days left together and will never see each other again afterward. As she looks away from the scene, she glances back at her wishing star and views the final two leaflets, which remind her that the week is coming to an end.<br />
:It could be noted that May made the wish before Jirachi hatched, so it would be impossible have made the wish about Max and how he would miss Jirachi. Arguably, there is the possibility of the wish being a top coordinator, yet having her stare at Ash, and have her smile fall brings doubt on the theory. <br />
[[File:Advance Shipping 2.png|thumb|right|Ash and May in [[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]]]<br />
* ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''<br />
:Ash tries to pick a fight with [[Tory Lund]]. In order to stop him, May throws her body on top of Ash and pleas for him to stop. She places her hands on his shoulders and desperately tries to convince him to calm down. Ash is surprised by her action, and maintains a shocked expression as he quickly agrees, and calms down. <br />
<br />
* ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''<br />
:Ash once again loses his cool and is mad at {{an|Lucario}}. May quickly rushes down into the lake where Ash is standing and clutches his arm, trying to prevent him from getting himself in trouble. May holds onto him frantically until the situation is resolved. Afterward, May follows Ash around "mothering" him, telling him to get himself dry before he catches a cold.<br />
<br />
*''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''<br />
:As Ash and May go swimming with {{mov|Manaphy|Manaphy|9}}, a school of {{p|Luvdisc}}, the Pokémon thought to symbolize love, follows and swims with them. This is accompanied by shots of Ash and May looking at each other and smiling, while still surrounded by the Luvdisc. It can be noted that, even though Dawn has seen Luvdisc with Ash as well, Ash and May were the only ones that swam with them, further encouraging the Ruby Pokédex description below.<br />
:It could be interesting to note that the Sapphire Pokédex has stated that "any couple" (Suggesting even friends) "meeting" Luvdisc's "is promised a loving relationship that never ends"; whilst the Ruby Pokédex has stated that Luvdiscs would "swim after loving couples it spotted in the ocean's waves." This could suggest that May and Ash have a deep connection with each other, romantic or not. <br />
<br />
:When Manaphy goes missing, May begins sobbing, heartbroken. Ash gazes at her with a pained expression and glistening eyes. <br />
<br />
:While [[Samiya]] is being flooded with water, Ash puts May, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Manaphy in a capsule left behind by [[The Phantom]], allowing them to survive in the event that his plan to replace the crystal fails. Distressed, May calls out to Ash with tearful eyes, but Ash only asks her to remain safe in there, and leaves with the brown in his eyes seen; this usually happens only when Ash is very upset or very emotional. May continues to pray for Ash's safety and is nearly driven to tears by the thought that he may not return. Manaphy sends May's prayers to Ash using Heart Swap, and with these thoughts spurring him on, Ash recoveres from his near-drowned state and replaces the crystal, saving Samiya.<br />
<br />
:After Samiya is raised, May leaves the capsule, initially thrilled that the temple has been saved. (In the Japanese language version of the movie, she acknowledges that Satoshi is the one who saved the Temple by saying "This is Satoshi's doing, isn't it?") Her happiness, however, is quickly replaced by sadness and the fear that Ash will not return. "It can't be..." she says. "No way..." Her joy returns as soon as Ash flies up out of the water, chases down Captain Phantom, and saves the abducted Manaphy. In the manga adaption of the movie, when May and Pikachu are unsure of whether or not Ash survived trying to save the Sea Temple, she clutches Pikachu and is tearing up, but still retains hope in Ash by saying, "Ash wouldn't leave us like this..."<br />
<br />
:Additionally, at multiple points during the movie, Manaphy seems very happy around Ash, best exemplified by the fact that it seemed content and happy in Ash's arms, when it's seen to only to accept May's company, even using {{m|Heart Swap}} to switch between Ash and [[Jack Walker]] when the latter held it, immediately regaining its happiness after doing so. Many AdvanceShippers suggest that Manaphy has chosen Ash to be his 'father'.<br />
<br />
:When Ranger Jack moves to return into the Temple, Ash calls and warns him that it is too dangerous. Although, he submits when Jack tells him he will be fine. However, when May runs back into the Temple to follow Manaphy, Ash instinctively runs after her, presumably because, of everyone, he doesn't want to put her in danger.<br />
<br />
:It can also be noted that Jackie Walker recognized that Ash, not Max, was the closest to May and specifically asked him to separate May and Manaphy.<br />
