ProtégéShipping

Involves: Wally and May

Reaction: REFER TO NEWRIVALSHIPPING

PsychoboltShipping

Involves: James and Bonnie

Reaction: First, ew. The age gap, since Bonnie is still a little kid.

Well...some say James is 17. I feel like Bonnie is around 6-8. That would be wrong for now, but it's alright once Bonnie turns 18.

But then these Pokémon people are known for not growing up. Or is that just Ash Ketchum?

Anyway...let's analyze the name. Bolt definitely comes from Bonnie. So...does this imply that James is a psycho?

Well...we know the Pokémon peeps can get crazy, but I don't think he's psycho.

His rich parents might be though...

PunyShipping

Involves: Max and Vivi Winstrate

Reaction: Aw.

Back before we were introduced to Bonnie, I actually shipped Max with Vivi Winstrate.

To think...this was so close to being canon. (Not really they're just little kids.)

In the episode "Candid Camerupt!", when our heroes were lost in the desert with no water (even though they had water types with them), they were saved by the Winstrate family!

Vivi thought Max was cute. Max liked her as well. So yeah...this ship was going somewhere.

Of course, in return for their good deeds, they will have to battle the Winstrates.

It started with Brock against Victor Winstrate. Victor had puny looking Zigzagoon. It turns out that it wasn't puny at all because it knew Thunderbolt. The attack annihilated Brock's Mudkip.

Next, it was May against Victoria Winstrate. Victoria had a Roselia. May said she has no sympathy for a Roselia after having a flashback of a certain rival having the said Pokémon. It turns out the Roselia was not as good as said rival's Roselia. #SilverWindFTW

Kinda coincidental that Victor and Victoria have similar names, and they're actually a married couple. Weird. #PokemonLogic

And then...this happened. It was Max against Vivi. Due to Max having no Pokémon because he wasn't old enough yet, Ash lent him Corphish. Max ended up winning the battle because Corphish totally kicked the butt of Vivi's Marill. Corphish didn't even listen to Max's commands. And yet...after the defeat, Vivi said she hates Max. This left Max brokenhearted.

Do note that it was not Max's fault at all. #CorphishWantsToBattle

But hey. Who knows what the future holds? Maybe they can meet again and their feelings might rekindle.

WAIT. How come Vivi (and the rest of the little kids in the Pokémon World not named Max or Bonnie) has a Pokémon even though she is underaged? #PokemonLogic

PurpleShipping

Involves: Drew and Paul

Reaction: For whatever reason, fanfiction writers make these two guys best friends.

Seriously.

There's a chance that they will get along because they are both serious and they want to get the best Pokémon.

But in reality, they have never met, and I doubt they will. Hey. That's where fanfiction comes in. Who needs facts in fanfiction? Okay...you should at least know about the characters you are including in your stories.

So...how does 'purple' relate to the both of them? Simple. Paul has purple hair. Drew wears a purple jacket.

PurplecatShipping

Involves: Paul and Meowth

Reaction: Lol whaaat.

--

PurpleDiamondShipping

Involves: Kenny and Burgundy

Reaction: Uh...

They don't know each other, but we know they are rivals of Ash's former traveling buddies.

Purple because of Burgundy's hair. Diamond because I guess Kenny originated from the Diamond and Pearl series.

Random Question: Who is your favorite non-Ash rival in the Pokémon anime?

--

QueenShipping

Involves: Harley and Jessie

Reaction: YOU CAN CALL ME QUEEN BEE.

I maybe I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.

Let me live my fantasy (SORRY IF MY LYRICS ARE INCORRECT)

No doubt Jessie tends to act like a queen bee.

And Harley...he's freaking Harley.

They've worked together before. Jessie and Harley somehow were able to relate to each other's agony. However, things didn't end up well between them after the twerp crew with Drew foiled their plans of sabotaging May.

So yeah...this ship probably won't set sail.

QuestShipping

Involves: Jimmy and Marina

Reaction: Honestly, I kinda ship this, even though they were only in three special episodes.

For those who don't know, Jimmy and Marina are the anime counterparts of Ethan/Kris or Gold/Crystal.

In short, the anime version of Mangaquestshipping. And actually...that's how Mangaquest got its name because it is the manga version of Questshipping.

Jimmy is confirmed to have a crush on Marina, and I'm pretty sure Marina likes Jimmy too. They seem to make a good team. Even Vincent notices Jimmy's feelings for Marina. Do note that Vincent has a huge crush on Marina as well.

Marina is one attractive girl.

Jimmy was really happy when he got Marina's number. Now he can call her maybe.

At least they've known each other for a long time.

Kinda sad Silver wasn't a main character in the Legend of Thunder series. He was just shown there with a Nidoking for like five seconds or less.

Instead, they decided to have Vincent, who was renamed in the main anime as Jackson.

QuirperShipping

Involves: Conway and Dawn's bike

Reaction: What the actual fudge.

Because I don't know a lot of slang or street words, I had to use the urban dictionary to know the meaning of 'quirper'. Apparently, it means a guy who loves to sniff bicycles.

Just more creepin' Conway here. Nothing unusual.

--

QumphShipping

Involves: Conway and May's bike

Reaction: Again, I went to urban dictionary for this.

Qumph means a guy who sniffs the bike seat after a girl said departed from said seat.

Creepy s**t right here.

BUT WHY MAY???

WAIT...Ash never repaid May or Dawn for their bikes.

So...who owns these bikes Conway has been sniffing? O_O

The ghost of their dead bikes.

RaimonTownShipping

Involves: Luke and Bianca

Reaction: Um...I guess this is okay? Eh.

BTW, Raimon Town is the Japanese name for Nimbasa Town. Not Nimbasa City, guys. Nimbasa Town.

To refresh our memories, Luke joined Ash, Iris and Cilan on their way to compete to the Nimbasa Town Battle Competition thing. There, Luke met one of Ash's rivals, Bianca. Bianca ended up falling in love with Luke...

Just kidding. She fell in love with Luke's Zorua.

Bianca was willing to even trade her Pignite (HER PARTNER) for said Zorua.

Well...that's not really a hint, but it is safe to say that these two became friends after meeting in Nimbasa Town.

--

RandomShipping

Involves: Trip and May

Reaction: They couldn't think of a ship name.

They decided to make this the most random ship ever.

Yet...why Trip and May?

There are a lot of weirder, more random ships out there.

I'm gonna make them up now:

Conway x Nini

Jessiebelle x Magikarp

Furret x that guy who gives you HM01 in Rustboro City

Misty's ear x Serena's butt

Dr. Fuji x Cynthia

Dr. Footstep x Michael x Ethan x Nurse Joy x Drew x Giselle x Jackson x Normajean

Silver x random NPC from Floaroma Town x Wallace x Misty's bike x Misty's burnt bike x Sammy Oak x one of Gary's cheerleaders x Plusle

And a lot more.

Heck. Most of the ships mentioned in this book is freaking random.

--

RebelShipping

Involves: Hilbert and Bianca

Reaction: Bianca is a rebel. Even though her dad won't allow her to travel, she still did.

However, the dad managed to catch with Bianca to Nimbasa City. With Hilbert's help (if you played a guy in BW), Bianca was able to convince her father that she was capable of traveling on her own.

For other hints...I don't really know. Again, game ships would depend on you. You, the player, can flirt with a certain character even if you can't sent that message of love directly to the game.

What?

Looks like February 30th came early.

Hope you guys enjoyed this part.

What ship mentioned in this part is your favorite?

ANNOUNCEMENT: I have a new book entitled "The NEWS!!!" It's technically not new content because I wrote that way back in 2008. I just felt like sharing it. It's not really the best, but I think it's kinda crazy. It's mostly nonsense. It's not even related to Pokémon. But if you're curious, you can check it out.

That's it for now. In the next part, we will continue with the R ships. It will be posted on February 31st.

Elemeno out!
