Cabernet and Cilan

SommelierShipping (Japanese: デンカベ DenCabe) is the belief that Cilan and Cabernet belong in a romantic relationship.

Evidence

Cilan's hints

• BW019

Cilan recognizes Cabernet right away after they meet again after a long time. He also seems to feel bad that he made her feel so bad after he defeated her in a gym battle in Striaton City. He immediately accepts her demand for a rematch and smiles at her contently.

Even though Cabernet was relatively unkind to Cilan throughout the whole episode, he still kept his cool and was polite towards her. He even wishes her well after she leaves on her own journey.

Cabernet's hints

• Though there is a lot of reason to believe that Cabernet dislikes Cilan, many feel she is using rudeness to try and hide her true feelings for him.

• BW019

When she sees Cilan again, her face turns red in what some fans believe to be blushing. She then explains how her loss to Cilan a long time ago inspired her to become a Pokémon Sommelière. After she passes her sommeliers test, she seeks out Cilan so she can have another battle with him and is upset to find out that he gave up his Gym Leader position to travel.

After her second defeat to Cilan, Cabernet decides to travel, much like he did, and vows that she and Cilan will battle again someday.

Similarities

• Both are Pokémon Sommeliers and use the phrase "It's Tasting Time!".
