Shipping:AccordShipping

From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

This article is about shipping. As hints and evidence for ships are mostly speculation, this page may contain POV.

AccordShipping is the belief that Tonio and Alice are in a romantic relationship. This ship (along with PearlShipping, according to some) is the primary ship in The Rise of Darkrai.

Evidence

1. When Baron Alberto flirts with her, she hurries over to Tonio, returns his laptop, and states right out loud that she likes Tonio.

2. After Alberto's remark of saying it was the funniest joke he has heard, Tonio lies by saying that it was a joke. Alice turns away in disgust.

3. When Alice sees Tonio sleeping in the Time-Space Tower, she calls out his name, cradles him, but when he greets her, she drops him on the floor and tells him to not sleep on the floor.

4. In the flashback when they were children, Alice desperately wanted Tonio to see her at the top of the cliff. Tonio warns her that it is dangerous, but she goes on ahead and falls. Tonio calls out her name and watches Darkrai save her. When she is safely on the ground, he sighs in relief that she is breathing, cradles her as well, and when she awakens, she thinks Tonio had saved her, hugs him, and even says that she loves him. This is one of the most major hints of the ship.

5. At the end of the film, when Darkrai reappears, Alice cuddles next to Tonio. He smiles and rolls his eyes.

6. When Tonio's Drifblim saves her from falling off the edge, she hugs him.
