BreederShipping: Difference between revisions

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

BreederShipping is the belief that Brock and Suzy belong in a romantic relationship. The namesake of the Ship comes from the fact that Brock wants to be the best Pokémon Breeder and Suzy is already a famous Pokémon Breeder. Suzy is first introduced in the anime in 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 Beauty and the Breeder, where the two enter a Pokémon breeding contest together.

Evidence

Brock's Hints

• Pokémon Fashion Flash

Brock couldn't talk after meeting Suzy, 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 Misty asks about Suzy's Vulpix and Brock recites about Vulpix as well.

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.

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.

• Beauty and the Breeder

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.

Even though the contest Suzy is competing in is out of their way, Brock states; "I need to see Suzy!".

When seeing Suzy again after so long, Brock hides behind the roses he got her, then stammers, blushes, and hands them to her.

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.

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.

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.

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."

Suzy's Hints

• 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.
• Pokémon Fashion Flash

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.

• Beauty and the Breeder

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.

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.
