| '''PearlShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトヒカ''' ''SatoHika'') is the possible pairing between [[Ash Ketchum]] and his newest traveling companion, {{an|Dawn}}, from the [[Pokémon anime]].
| |
| | |
| ==Evidence==
| |
| ===Dawn's hints===
| |
| *In ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era]]'', Dawn felt that Ash didn't respect or acknowledge her and both argued with each other through out most of the episode, so she challenged [[Nando]] to a battle hoping to make Ash realize how good she was as a trainer, and in the end after Nando managed to explain to them that there was no reason to argue both apologized to one another and exchanged a few very sentimental words thus strengthening their new friendship.
| |
| *In ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', Dawn was having a bad hair day and had her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} fix her hair. Before fixing her hair, she refused to let Ash see her for fear of having him judge her, or that she was simply being self-conscious. She also asked Ash afterwards if he would like his done too.
| |
| *In ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]'', Dawn commented on how awesome Ash looked when making his appeal in the [[Jubilife City|Jubilife]] Contest.
| |
| *In ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]'', Dawn donned on a cute cheerleading outfit and she and her Pokémon began cheering and dancing for Ash to win and thus giving him the confidence to earn his first [[badge|gym badge]] in Sinnoh. This is a first since neither [[Misty]] nor [[May (anime)|May]] ever went to such lengths in any of Ash's battles; they usually sat at the side lines discussing if he would win, though they would usually throw him a few cheers.
| |
| *In ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'', Dawn copied Ash on saying her name then [[Twinleaf Town|her hometown]] when introducing herself. It might show a form of admiration.
| |
| *In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', Dawn was crying about her recent contest failure. When Ash approached her, she didn't want him to worry about it and played along with his assumption that she had dirt in her eyes. <!--Then Ash says he is hungry and Dawn suggests that they get ice cream (Dunno if this should be added)-->
| |
| *In ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', Dawn says that she wonders if her contests are holding Ash back, showing that she cares about his dreams almost more than her own.
| |
| *In ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', Dawn cheers Ash again with more dancing for his Gym battle against [[Maylene]].
| |
| *In [[DP081]], Dawn had to be restrained by Brock from coming to Ash's aid in calming Chimchar.
| |
| *In the movie ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'', when Darkrai first appears in front of Ash and co, Dawn runs over to Ash's side.
| |
| *In [[DP082]], Dawn was so frightened by the appearance of the Croagunk, that she held on and hid behind Ash.
| |
| | |
| ===Ash's hints===
| |
| *In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', Ash calmed her nerves down after she had made what she thought was a bad appeal, and even used her frequent catchphrase "''No need to worry!''" (Japanese: "''Daijōbu!''") to console her.
| |
| *In the movie ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'', Ash tried to save Dawn from falling off the basket. Whether it was a reaction or not, Ash wanted to save her.
| |
| *In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', Ash is deeply saddened when Dawn loses in the appeal round for the second time.
| |
| *In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', Ash was really worried for Dawn when she was crying and assumed that she had dirt in her eyes, though she was really upset about her recent contest loss.
| |
| | |
| ===Other hints===
| |
| [[Image:HighfiveDP.JPG|thumb|right|180px|Ash and Dawn high-fiving.]]
| |
| *[[Dawn's Buneary]] seems to have {{s|LagomorphShipping|a crush}} on [[Ash's Pikachu]], this could be a sign that Dawn may have a crush on Ash since [[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. However, some can point out that Buneary developed this crush ''before'' Dawn caught it.
| |
| *In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score]]'', {{si|Kenny}} seemed jealous of {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} being together.
| |
| *While Dawn battled a revived {{p|Aerodactyl}} in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'' Ash was fascinated with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s new dodging tactic that he asked Dawn to help him practice for his rematch. He then had {{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.
| |
| *Ash and Dawn are often seen exchanging high fives whenever one of them accomplishes something, which might possibly portray a deep friendship, as Ash has rarely ever given a high five to anyone else on the show.
| |
| [[Image:Promo PokemonMovie11.JPG|thumb|right|100px|''Pikachu the Movie'' poster]]
| |
| *Like [[Misty]] and {{an|May}}, Ash's Pikachu also destroyed Dawn's [[bike]]. However unlike the first two girls, she never once pestered him about it, not even mentioning it until Cycling Road several episodes later.
| |
| *Ash and Dawn usually aren't there without one another.
| |
| *Ash and Dawn are the only main characters to trade Pokémon with each other: Ash's {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} for Dawn's {{TP|Ash|Buizel}}.
| |
| *In ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', when Contest Master [[Wallace]] mentioned the importance of the love between the trainers and their Pokemon, Dawn agreed and looked at Ash, as if she just realized something that involves Ash. Ash then looks back at Dawn and stares at her in confusion.
| |
| *In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', Dawn was proud of Ash because he and Buizel were able to pull off the {{m|Aqua Jet}}-{{m|Ice Beam}} combo that Dawn attempted to perform with Buizel in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', turning the opponent's Ice Beam against it.
| |
| *One of the posters for ''[[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]'' 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.
| |
| *The Japanese DVD cover for ''[[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]'' shows Dawn and Ash standing back to back, with Brock nowhere to be seen.
| |
| *In [[DP094]], Brock left both Ash and Dawn to take care of the Pokémon. Both of them said that they would stay with each other taking care of the Pokémon showing that they don't feel uncomfortable being alone without Brock. Both working together and trying their best to help [[Dawn's Pachirisu|Pachirisu]] is a sign of that their friendship is getting stronger.

| |
| | |
| ==Similarities==
| |
| *Just like Ash's Pikachu, [[Dawn's Piplup]] wasn't ready to obey her when they first met. Eventually, they became fast friends.
| |
| *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!]]''), meaning she could possess an important connection to the legendary Pokémon of [[Sinnoh]] like Ash possesses an important connection to the Pokémon of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].
| |
| ::* They have both seen a member of the [[Lake trio]]: Dawn and Mespirit in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', Ash and Azelf in [[DP077]].
| |
| *Like Ash, Dawn is extremely confident, but unlike Ash she rarely looks back on her mistakes, and she is always looking to the future hoping that her dream of being a master coordinator comes true (just like Ash when he started out).
| |
| *Dawn is the only main character in the series, aside from Ash, who owns an {{t|Electric}} Pokémon.
| |
| [[Image:Pearlshippy.PNG|thumb|right|Scene from ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'']]
| |
| *Neither the father of Ash nor the father of Dawn have ever been seen, as far as what has been introduced in the anime. They also are only children with no sibilings
| |
| *They both have childhood rivals, Ash's is [[Gary Oak]] and Dawn's is {{si|Kenny}}.
| |
| *Though Ash had previously participated in an unofficial Pokémon contest before, he first participated in an official contest at the same time as Dawn.
| |
| *Both Ash and Dawn have owned a powerful Pokémon that refused to obey them ([[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Ash's Buizel|Dawn's Buizel]]).
| |
| *They are the only main characters who battle members of the [[Elite Four]].
| |
| *Both of their [[Starter Pokémon|starters]] were able to defeat their evolved forms. {{AP|Pikachu}} beat [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} while {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} beat {{si|Kenny}}'s {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}}.
| |
| *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).
| |
| *Their starter Pokémon protected them in the beginning (Pikachu saved Ash from {{p|Spearow}}, Piplup saved Dawn from {{p|Ariados}}).
| |
| *As of ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', [[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.
| |
| *In [[DP088]], Dawn rented an affectionate {{p|Grimer}} whose behavior is similar to that of [[Ash's Muk]].
| |
| *In [[DP094]], Pachirisu becomes ill from having too much electricity, which also only happened to Ash's Pikachu from in ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'' and ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]''.
| |
| *The opening [[High Touch!]] is sung by Ash and Dawn. The lyrics imply that they have a strong friendship.
| |
| | |
| ==Alternate names==
| |
| * '''SatoHika''' (サトヒカ), the Japanese name of the pairing.
| |
| * '''AADL''', standing for '''A'''sh '''A'''nd '''D'''awn '''L'''ove.
| |
| * '''ShinouShipping'''; please note that this name conflicts with {{s|FortuneShipping}}, the pairing of {{ga|Lucas}} and {{ga|Dawn}} in the games, also referred to as ShinouShipping.
