| '''PearlShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトヒカ''' ''SatoHika'') is the name of the pairing between [[Ash Ketchum]] and his newest traveling {{ashfr|companion}}, {{an|Dawn}}, from the [[Pokémon anime]]. This [[shipping|Ship]] is among the more popular anime-based Shippings, along with {{s|PokéShipping}}, {{s|AdvanceShipping}}, and {{s|ContestShipping}}. The name itself was coined from the belief Dawn's [[Dawn (game)|game persona]] would be linked to the {{ga|Pearl}} name upon {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}'s release, as was the case for {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, before much was known of either the anime saga or Dawn's character.
| |
| | |
| ==Anime evidence==
| |
| ===Dawn's hints===
| |
| * ''[[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 {{pkmn|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.
| |
| * ''[[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 afterward if he would like his done too.
| |
| * ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]''
| |
| : Dawn commented on how awesome Ash looked when making his appeal in the {{ci|Jubilife}} Contest.
| |
| * ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]''
| |
| : Dawn donned a 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 {{an|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.
| |
| * ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out Of This]]''
| |
| : When Ash showed Dawn Misty's special lure, Dawn said, "I've never seen a lure like that," and Ash's reply was "This? Cool huh? I got it from Misty a long time ago." With this said Dawn seemed a little shocked that she had never heard of [[Misty]] and was found to be a little jealous of her. When Brock noticed this he tells her that Misty was an old friend of theirs that they used to travel with and Dawn seemed to calm down a little, as Brock just said "friend".
| |
| * ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]''
| |
| : When [[Gardenia]] suggested to do a tag battle, Dawn quickly said she wanted to be Ash's partner.
| |
| * ''[[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 so that Ash wouldn't have to worry about her.
| |
| * ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''
| |
| : Dawn admitted she wonders if her Contests are holding Ash back, showing that she cares about his dreams almost more than her own.
| |
| * ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''
| |
| : Dawn exclaimed, "Wow, Ash is really something!"
| |
| * ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''
| |
| : Dawn cheered Ash again with more dancing for his Gym battle against [[Maylene]].
| |
| * [[DP069|''Enter Galactic!'']]
| |
| : Ash claimed the reason he won his new badge from [[Maylene]] was because of all the training Dawn did with {{AP|Buizel}} when it was still hers. This causes Dawn to blush and she says "Thanks, but it was all worth it to see an amazing battle between you and Maylene, Ash."
| |
| * ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]''
| |
| : At the start of the episode, Dawn commented on how Ash does very good in training his Pokémon and even saying: "Ash is incredible!"
| |
| * ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]''
| |
| : When Ash ran into [[Crasher Wake]] and fell to the ground, Dawn was concerned over Ash's well-being. In another scene, Dawn was so frightened by the appearance of the Croagunk, she held onto Ash and hid behind him.
| |
| * ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''
| |
| : Dawn became worried that Ash's plan to get past the {{p|Psyduck}} would fail and that Ash would end up hurt.
| |
| * ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]''
| |
| : When Brock finishes packing, and tells Dawn that they're ready to go, she immediately volunteers to go and get Ash. Also, after that, Brock is seen with Happiny, saying that they'd be better off waiting around in the Pokémon Center until Ash and Dawn are done training.
| |
| * ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]''
| |
| : When the Gym referee says that [[Byron]] has the upper hand during Ash's gym battle, Dawn gets really mad and says "I am telling you you're wrong! Ash is going to win it for sure!", showing the confidence she has that he will win.
| |
| * ''[[DP113|Hold The Phione!]]''
| |
| : When Ash asked Dawn what Pokémon she would be using in the upcoming Pokémon Contest, Dawn winks at him and says, "Well who do you ''think'' I would use?"
| |
| * ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]''
| |
| : When Dawn is reunited with Ash and Brock after being lost for a day in the forest, Dawn yells "Ash... and Brock!" meaning she may care more about Ash than Brock.
| |
| * ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]''
| |
| : Dawn stated that she wanted to enter {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} in the {{to|Sandalstraw}} Contest so it could win it for both her and Ash.
| |
| * ''[[DP127]]''
| |
| : When Ash felt cold, Dawn gave Ash his jacket.
| |
| *''[[DP132]]''
| |
| : When [[Paul]] walks away after winning his 6th battle with Ash, Dawn looks sad and says, "Ash..."
| |
| *''[[DP133]]''
| |
| : When Ash is feeling upset when all his Pokémon are badly injured he runs off and Dawn tries to follow him, but is stopped by Brock.
| |
| : In order to cheer up Ash after his confidence goes down, Dawn puts on a show for him.
| |
| : Ash didn't know why Dawn was doing the show at first, but Nurse Joy whispered to him that she was doing it to make him and his Pokémon feel better.
| |
| *''[[DP144]]''
| |
| : When Ash, Dawn, Brock, [[Kazunari]], and {{an|Kotone}} are trapped in a room at the Valley Windworks, Kotone asks Dawn if there is anything going on between her and Ash. Dawn's eyes widen and she says, "No" as if she was trying to hide something.
| |
| | |
| ===Ash's hints===
| |
| * ''[[DP018|O'er The Rampardos We Watched]]''
| |
| : Dawn was dressed in a cheerleading outfit to cheer Ash on. When she started cheering with her Pokémon Ash noticed this and said, "Geez, thanks Dawn." As he said this, he had a big grin on his face.
| |
| * ''[[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 and gave her a caring and loving look.
| |
| * ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]''
| |
| : Ash's concern was continually focused on Dawn while he is split up from her and Brock, worrying the most about her being {{m|Bind|bound}} by an {{p|Onix}}.
| |
| * ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]''
| |
| : Ash signed up Dawn in the {{ci|Hearthome}} [[Tag Battle Tournament]] to cheer her up after her recent Contest loss. When he told her, she was against it because she is thinks she wouldn't do well, but Ash claimed he thought she would do great. He also told her to try her best. When she agrees, he raises his hand with a big grin on his face to give her a high five.
| |
| * ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]''
| |
| : Ash was deeply saddened when Dawn lost in the appeal round for the second time. After the loss, "[[Jessie|Jessalina]]" walks up to her and tells her to leave. Dawn tells "Jessalina" she wants to stay. The camera then turns to her slightly shaking fist. The camera then shoots over to Ash's face. The brown in his eyes can be seen, and this usually only happens when Ash is very upset. He then lowers his head, and hides his eyes behind his hat.
| |
| * ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''
| |
| : Ash was 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.
| |
| * ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]''
| |
| : When {{p|Hippowdon}} went down in the sand with {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} the first time, [[Brock]] and Ash went digging with their bare hands looking for it. That can show that Ash cared deeply for Dawn's Pokémon.
| |
| * ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''
| |
| : Ash said the reason he won his new badge from [[Maylene]] was because of all the training Dawn did with {{AP|Buizel}} when it was still hers. This caused Dawn to blush and she said, "Thanks, but it was all worth it to see an amazing battle between you and Maylene, Ash." This made Ash smile widely at her.
| |
| * ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]''
| |
| : While Dawn was talking about how Zoey told her to show off her Pokémon, not their moves, Ash tells her to train harder and sets his hand on her shoulder.
| |
| * ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]''
| |
| : During the Croagunk Festival, Ash asked Dawn to dance.
| |
| * ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]''
| |
| : When Ash and Dawn climbed onto Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket's mechas|robot]], he fell off and screamed her name twice, once while he fell and again when he lost sight of her.
| |
| * ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''
| |
| : Dawn made a comment about how Ash should treat his Pokémon like {{Gary}} does and Ash became furious. Some PearlShippers consider that to be jealousy of Dawn's supposed feelings for Gary.
| |
| * ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''
| |
| : When Dawn became frustrated with designing her outfits for the collection, Ash commented on how all her designs were amazing and she should do her best.
| |
| * ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''
| |
| : Dawn becomes concerned Ash's plan to get past the Psyduck will fail and he will get hurt. When Ash noticed, he told her, "No need to worry!" with a huge grin on his face.
| |
| * ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''
| |
| : When Brock commented on how great [[Conway]] was with his {{p|Venonat}}, Ash began to get worried and yelled, "'Kay Dawn, hang in there!" Later, Ash was extremely happy that Dawn won the prize for being closest to her [[Pokémon]].
| |
| * ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]''
| |
| : When Dawn comes onto the stage for the appeals round, Ash yells, "Lookin' great Dawn!" before she can even bring out her Pokémon.
| |
| * ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]''
| |
| : When Ash sees Dawn running away from {{p|Rotom}}, he becomes worried about her and helps her get away from Rotom.
| |
| * ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''
| |
| : Ash saved Dawn by putting his arm around her waist and pushing her to safely protecting her from her {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} after it went charging at her for more Poffins.
| |
| : When Dawn starts to cry because her {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} wouldn't listen to her, Ash becomes worried about her and tells her, "No need to worry."
| |
| * ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''
| |
| : When [[Ursula]] insults Dawn, Dawn becomes mad but as soon as she is about to say something to Ursala as she leaves, Ash yells at her telling her that Dawn is a much better Coordinator and Trainer then she is.
| |
| * ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]''
| |
| : As soon as Ash found out that Dawn fell in the river, he became extremely worried about her and continued to be concerned about her until he found Dawn again. Meanwhile, [[Brock]] didn't show nearly as much concern as Ash did.
| |
| * ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]''
| |
| : When Ash, got defeated, he said, "Man, Dawn keeps getting better and better with every match!"
| |
| * ''[[DP133]]''
| |
| : When Dawn puts on a show for Ash and his Pokémon, Ash does not know why, so Nurse Joy tells him that it is to cheer up him and all his Pokémon. When she tells him this, he gives Dawn a weird look as if to say, "Is this true?" Dawn gives him a smile and a wink, saying yes and starts the show. As the show progresses, Ash and his Pokémon are enjoying themselves very much.
| |
| | |
| ===Other hints===
| |
| [[Image:HighfiveDP.JPG|thumb|right|180px|Ash and Dawn high-fiving]]
| |
| * 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.
| |
| *As [[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. 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.
| |
| * Like [[Misty]] and {{an|May}}, Ash's Pikachu also destroys Dawn's [[bike]]. However, unlike the first two girls, she never once pesters him about it, not even mentioning it until Cycling Road [[DP038|many episodes later]].
| |
| * Ash and Dawn are the only main characters to trade Pokémon with each other: Ash's {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} for Dawn's {{AP|Buizel}}.
| |
| * So far, 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.
| |
| [[Image:Promo PokemonMovie11.JPG|thumb|100px|''Pikachu the Movie'' poster]]
| |
| * One of the movie posters for ''[[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.
| |
| * A Domino's Pizza Kids 2008 Commercial in Japan features Ash and Dawn, as well as some Pokémon.
| |
| * [[High Touch!]]
| |
| : 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.
| |
| * ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]''
| |
| : 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.
| |
| * ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]''
| |
| : When Contest Master [[Wallace]] mentioned the importance of the love between the Trainers and their Pokémon, Dawn agreed and looked at Ash, as if she just realized something that involved Ash. Ash then looks back at Dawn and stares at her in confusion.
| |
| * ''[[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.
| |
| * ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]''
| |
| : Brock leaves both Ash and Dawn to take care of the Pokémon. Both of them say 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 {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} is a sign that their friendship is getting stronger.
| |
| * ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]''
| |
| : 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|AdvanceShipping|AdvanceShippers}} have a similar hint from the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|ninth movie]]).
| |
| | |
| ==Movie evidence==
| |
| ===Ash's hints===
| |
| * ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''
| |
| : Ash tries to save Dawn from falling out of the basket. Whether it is a reaction or not, Ash wants to save her. Then when Dawn lands on a nearby building, Ash is shown giving a sigh of relief that she is okay. In another scene, when both Ash and Dawn are falling off the tower together, Ash holds Dawn tight so that she doesn't leave him.
| |
| * ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''
| |
| : When Dawn was getting sucked into the [[Reverse World]], Ash yelled, "No, Dawn!" and went in after her.
| |
| | |
| ===Dawn's hints===
| |
| * ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''
| |
| : When {{an|Darkrai}} 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.
| |
| * ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''
| |
| : When Ash becomes sad that {{an|Shaymin}} left, Dawn says, "Oh, Ash" in a very caring tone.
| |
| | |
| ==Similarities==
| |
| * Just like Ash's Pikachu, [[Dawn's Piplup]] wasn't ready to obey her when they first met. Eventually, they became 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 Mesprit in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', and Ash and Azelf in ''[[DP077|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]''.
| |
| * 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 siblings.
| |
| * They both have childhood [[rival]]s: Ash's is [[Gary Oak]] and Dawn's is {{si|Kenny}}.
| |
| * He first participated in an official Contest at the same time as Dawn.
| |
| * 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}}).
| |
| * Ash and Dawn often strongly cheer each other on in Contests/battles.
| |
| * They are the only main characters who battle members of the [[Elite Four]].
| |
| * 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}}.
| |
| * 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).
| |
| [[Image:Dominos Ad Nov08.jpg|thumb|right|Scene from a 2008 Domino's Pizza commercial]]
| |
| * Pikachu saved Ash from {{p|Spearow}} in the beginning of his journey while Piplup saved Dawn from {{p|Ariados}}.
| |
| * 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.
| |
| * In ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'', Dawn rented an affectionate {{p|Grimer}} whose behavior is similar to that of [[Ash's Muk]].
| |
| * 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!]]''.
| |
| * The rivals of their {{ga|Red|game}} {{ga|Dawn|counterparts}} ({{Gary}} and [[Barry]]) have appeared in the anime instead of making a cameo, as {{ga|Silver}} and {{ga|Brendan}} have.
| |
| * Both of them have a Pokémon that they caught in its most unevolved form, which then 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]]).
| |
| *Just like [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], [[Dawn's Piplup]] stopped evolving in the middle of the evolution process.
| |
| *Both Dawn and Ash's Starter Pokémon have refused to evolve.
