This article is about shipping. As hints and evidence for ships are mostly speculation, this page may contain personal points of view. |
NegaiShipping (Japanese: サトアイ SatoAi) is the belief that Ash Ketchum and Iris belong in a romantic relationship. Currently, it is the main pairing of the Best Wishes series, along with Template:S.
Evidence
Iris's hints
- Iris blushes slightly upon meeting Ash and throughout most of the episode.

Iris saving Ash
- Iris and Ash spend the majority of the episode arguing. During a rescue of some Pokémon, however, Ash loses his grip on a bridge made of Sandile, but Iris is there to grab his wrist, keeping hold of him as the Sandile righten themselves to safety. Afterward, the two look to each other and smile, having silently reconciled their differences. It is to be noted, however, they shared this look a moment later with the main Sandile; ultimately, it means, "A job well done."
- Iris marvels at how Ash saved and treated the Tepig before capturing it.

Iris watching Ash's gym battle
- During Ash's gym battle with Dent, Pod, and Corn, while the brothers' fans stayed on one side of the arena to cheer on the Gym Leaders, Iris stays on the opposing side and quite blatantly gazes at Ash with a look that could easily be interpreted as attraction or cool admiration (among others, both positive and negative, given she's been calling him a "kid" up until now, and not kindly).
- After Ash beats Dent, Iris is impressed with Ash's performance and whispers his name while watching him celebrate. After Ash receives his badge from Dent, Dent asks Ash if he and Iris are traveling together. Iris yells that they aren't and runs off. Later, once Dent has formally joined Ash's travel party, Ash and Dent are on their way to leave Sanyou City. As Ash wonders where Iris is, she appears from a tree, surprising him. After being asked by Ash to join him and Dent on their journey, she is overjoyed and excitedly accepts his invitation.
- Iris blatantly gazes at Ash with a look that could easily be interpreted as attraction or cool admiration for the second time, during his battle with Shooti. Also, Iris seems to be genuinely concerned when Ash is losing the battle to Shooti.
- Iris grabs Ash's shoulder in an affectionate way when asking Aloe what type of Trainer he is. She is also very concerned about Ash's depressed attitude after he lost the gym battle.
Ash's hints
- Ash seems a little disappointed when Iris was missing the morning after their meeting.
- After his battle with Dent, Ash happily shows his badge to Iris and asks her opinion. Iris criticizes Ash for his choices in battle and he is upset, not expecting that answer from her.
- Ash is annoyed that Iris would not battle him and that she battled Dent instead. He continuously asks her for a battle throughout the episode.
Other hints
- Dent notes that both Ash and Iris give off an "interesting flavor" when they are together.
Similarities
- Both Ash and Iris own Pokémon that do not reside within a Poké Ball (Ash's Pikachu and Iris's Axew).
- Both have at times shown an impulsive nature, especially when protecting their Pokémon.
- Both Ash and Iris have owned Pokémon that have refused to obey them at one point (Ash's Pikachu, Charizard and Primeape and Iris's Excadrill).
- Ash and Iris are the only main characters in the series to own a Dragon-type Pokémon (Ash's Gible and Iris's Axew).
- Coincidentally, both Gible and Axew have trouble executing a certain Dragon-type move, Draco Meteor and Dragon Rage, respectively.
- Also, Gible and Axew are both part of a three-stage evolutionary line that retain the same type throughout their evolution.
- Both Ash and Iris own Pokémon that were recently hatched from eggs (Ash's Zuruggu and Iris's Axew).
Name origin
- Negai is from the Japanese characters 願い (negai) to mean 'wish' (in terms of 'desire,' 'prayer,' or 'request'). It is used as an alternate name over Template:S, after the title of the Japanese series "Best Wishes."
Alternate names
- AaIL - stands for Ash and Iris Love
- サトアイ SatoAi - meaning Satoshi and Iris (ai being the phonetic pronunciation of the long i sound)
