ValleyShipping is the belief that Ash's Charizard and Liza's Charla are in love with each other in the Pokémon anime. This Ship is considered canon.

The two meet in Charizard's Burning Ambitions, where Charla isn't very impressed with Charizard when he starts stamping around, infuriated, and is quite embarrassed for him. The only literal interaction they share is a brief fight late in the episode: Charla proves she is stronger than Charizard by tossing him out the doors of the Charicific Valley nary seconds after the challenge is accepted. But with Liza's approval, Charizard is allowed to stay and train inside the valley. There is no romantic attraction at this point.

It's only revealed later, in Great Bowls of Fire! that a romance has started between them. In the Dragon Holy Land, when Ash and Charizard are reunited, Clair points out that, "Charizard seems to be most interest in being Charla's bodyguard," which is followable by a shot of Charla cuddling up to a puffed-up Charizard. Misty comments, "Look at those two lovebirds," in a mystified tone.
