| |
| '''AbilityShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトリラ''' ''SatoLila'') is the belief that {{Ash}} and {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}, the Salon Maiden of the {{OBP|Battle Tower|Generation III}}, belong in a romantic relationship. Canonically, this shipping is one-sided on Anabel's part, with Ash oblivious to her feelings. The name is likely derived from Anabel's Frontier [[Symbol]].
| |
| | |
| The first piece of evidence is found in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]''. Shortly after the two meet, a {{p|Gyarados}} attacks them, and Anabel stands up to try and protect Ash, even though she hardly knows him.
| |
| | |
| More evidence to support this ship is in ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm!]]''. After Ash fails to establish a mind-link with {{AP|Corphish}}, Anabel suggests that he attempt to "see what is in [her] heart," which he fails to do. Nevertheless, she reassures him, saying, "That's okay. You're fine the way you are." The camera then zooms into a close up shot of her eyes, which are watering.
| |
| | |
| When Ash is leaving the Battle Tower and the two say their good-byes, the two share a handshake. Afterward, Anabel looks at her hand and blushes, and with a smile thinks to herself, "Guess you can't sense feelings yet, Ash, or you would've sensed my feelings for you."
