MangaShipping: 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.

MangaShipping (Japanese: タケナツ TakeNatsu) is the name given to the pairing of Sabrina and Brock in The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga. The name rightly comes from its manga-only origins.

Sabrina's character in The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga is different from the anime: she is actually very kind. When Ash lost to her, she warmly welcomed the young trainer to stay and watch how the other trainers fight.

Hints of this Ship only exist in the third chapter Haunting My Dreams and practically all are from Brock. Brock tells Ash that he and Sabrina are old friends when Ash asked him what he's doing in Saffron. When Ash asks, "JUST friends?", Brock tells him not to rub that fact in since he gets depressed easily.

There are no further hints after that. After they kill the Haunter, Sabrina starts crying and throws herself onto Brock. This could pass that she needed a friend to cry everything out to and may not like Brock the same way Brock likes her, but can be taken in another way.
