Pairings I support...

Pokemon

Contestshipping (May x Drew) - This is, without a doubt, my favorite ship of all time. I've been a follower since 2007, when I started getting back into pokemon. That year, I watched all of the Hoenn episodes...two years later, I discovered fanfiction haha. I've read most of the fanfics for these two on this site over the last six years. Why do I love this pairing so much? Well, I love both their personalities and their confusing relationship. May is my favorite character from the anime. In my opinion, she has the most well-rounded personality/development out of all the characters on the show. Her progression from being an unsure girl who was terrified of pokemon to becoming a confident, dedicated girl with a passion for both contests and pokemon themselves is utterly fascinating to watch. Her naïve, kind, gentle nature, her love for her pokemon, friends, and brother, and her LOVE for food (haha) make her such a likable character. Drew, while he is also one of my favorite characters from the anime, is different from her in many ways. He is overconfident and arrogant, but when he needs to be, gentle and considerate as well. This can be seen with his attitude towards his pokemon and people who need his advice or help, particularly May. His criticisms toward May encourage her to work harder toward her goals, while May's growth as a person and trainer encourages him to work harder as well. This makes them the perfect rivals for each other. However, unlike many rivals, Drew has a tendency to look out for May and protect her from the dangers of the world, whether they be her own naivety or other trainers, such as Harley. The anime also, strangely, blesses us with romantic notions from both sides. Some are actions and emotions that May and Drew express toward each other - the roses, the blushes, the jealousy towards others (Brianna and Harley), the constant teasing, the need to help the other when he/she most needs it. The other hints stem from people who observe them in their daily lives, such as Max, Brock, Solidad, Harley, Brianna, May's mother, and Jessie. Throughout Hoenn and Kanto, their relationship goes from the mutual need to defeat the other, to the mutual need to support the other, and finally, to the mutual need to make the other happy. In my opinion, that is as canon as you can get. :)

Proof That Drew and May Go Together!

1. The roses Drew gives May.

Rose 1: He gave a rose 'to Beautifly' after May's appeal, in Win, Lose or Drew.

Rose 2: In Pros and Con Artists, he gave 'her Beautifly' another when he saw her training.

Rose 3: At the end of Come What May

Rose 4: In the first of the Grand Festival episodes, he gave her a rose while they were in the middle of an argument.

2. At the end of Come What May when he gave her the rose:

May: This is for Beautifly right?

Drew: *Flicks hair* Yeah, something like that.

3. In Disguise Da Limit Drew was unable to compete in the contest but he still turned up to see how May did, proving he cares enough to want to know how she did.

4. At the end of the Grand Festival episodes May is blushing when Drew is walking away.

5. Drew's jealousy towards Harley in the Grand Festival.

6. In the first of the Grand Festival epi’s, when Harley caught sight of the rose he says something about it and May then cries "Harley-san!"

7. Drew caught a Masquerain, a pokemon that can breed with Beautifly...

8. They helped each other out in the Wynaut epi, and showed that their relationship is growing stronger.

9. Many people make fun and put down the people they like, to hide their real feelings. Like Drew does? You always hurt the ones you love, right?

Hints to Contestshipping!

1. May and Drew 'meet cute'.
Often two characters who are going to fall in love later on have an ironic first meeting where they form a bad impression of each other. Usually one of them either insults or embarrasses him/herself in front of the other. May and Drew do this, when May nearly hits Drew in the head with a frisbee, and he makes fun of her contest act.

2. May and Drew bicker.
Bickering is often a huge clue towards future romance. May and Drew are rivals and therefore you'd expect them to fight anyway, but there are a few details in their dialogue that hints at UST (unresolved sexual tension).

3. May and Drew fit the 'good girl/bad boy' pattern.
Quite a common archetype in romance is the upright girl ending up with the arrogant guy. It's used a lot in movies; examples that leap to mind are Princess Leia/Han Solo (Star Wars), Sandy/Danny (Grease) and Ginger/Rocky (Chicken Run). There are certain elements which crop up very frequently in these kind of stories and are also recognizable in May/Drew; for instance:

The guy is intrigued by the girl right from the start, whereas the girl is repelled by his jerk-like behavior.

The guy is often very good-looking and considered a catch by most other girls. Sometimes he even has loud, squealing fan-clubs (especially if this is a movie set in a high school). The girl is one of the only people who are not impressed with his charm, and is scornful and dismissive towards him instead.

The guy will make it his 'quest' to win the girl over. He generally does this by seeking out and antagonizing her. Although she may give as good as she gets, she rarely seeks him out in return or starts arguments with him. She tends to get much angrier during these spats than he does, if he gets angry at all; more often than not, he will merely be amused by their exchanges.

The guy often makes his feelings towards the girl very clear, but she doesn't take them seriously at first because he does so in a casual, flirtatious manner. She may find herself attracted to him, but will not admit so to others or sometimes even to herself.

The guy eventually proves to the girl, either slowly over time or in one big, dramatic gesture near the end, that he's not the pillock she took him for, at which point she starts to return the feelings (or realizes she returns them if she already has them).

Drew likes May

1. Drew is very interested in May.
Right from Drew's introductory episode, he is unusually drawn to May. The first time we see him, he is standing on a cliff just above where she is training; we know he had been watching her because he immediately insults the routine she had just been practicing. This meeting sets the tone on the way he behaves to her for the rest of the series. To give a full list of all the times he stares at her, spies on her, goes out of his way to wind her up, shows off to her or otherwise pays attention to her would perhaps be going into too much depth, but suffice it to say, he does it A LOT.

2. Drew flirts with May.
Starting in Win, Lose or Drew, there is a recurring theme of Drew giving May roses. The first time, he seems to only do it to wind her up, by telling her that it's really for her Beautifly. The second time, he openly hits on her to begin with ("Isn't that sweet? You even remember my name after all this time. Hi, May"), but then reverts to the Beautifly excuse ("Don't get your hopes up, May. The only reason I even came over here was to see Beautifly again"). The third time, May asks him if it's for Beautifly and he almost admits that it's really for her ("Yeah... something like that"). The most recent rose he gave to her in the Grand Festival, this time without offering any excuses.

3. Drew dislikes the idea of May being with other boys.
The earliest hint of this was in Pros and Con Artists, when Ash calls out a friendly greeting and Drew responds with a cold, "Oh. You're May's little friend, right?" The real meat of this argument, however, comes from the Grand Festival. Harley, May's other main rival, spends most of the first two GF episodes hanging around with her, being very clingy and friendly, constantly clasping her hands and gushing about how wonderful she is. The real reason he was doing this was to pretend to be May's friend and stab her in the back later, but Drew apparently interprets it as Harley trying to make a move on her, and therefore spends the whole time watching the two of them from a distance and sulking (he perks up briefly, though, when Harley doesn't get a particularly high score for his appeal).

Eventually Drew overhears Harley gloating over the success of his plan and busts him. Even after May's found out the truth and she and Harley have officially parted ways, however, Drew shouts at her for trusting him in the first place. This really shows how bothered he was by the whole thing; even after the threat is out of the way, he's still insecure about May being taken in so easily. Once May defeats Harley in battle, though, he seems to cheer up considerably.

May likes Drew

1. May encourages Drew's advances.
As infuriating as she finds him, May is surprisingly pleased when she thinks Drew is giving her a rose, back at her first ever contest. She blushes slightly and says, "This, for me? Thanks Drew!" May surely thought at that point that the rose was meant as a romantic gesture - why else would she blush? - in which case, the fact that she thanks him so warmly is cause to believe that she quite likes the idea of Drew being interested in her. This is supported by the ending of Come What May; when Drew congratulates her on her win and throws her another rose, she asks him teasingly, "I suppose this rose is for Beautifly, too?" It's doubtful that she meant that as a serious question. If she wasn't at all attracted to Drew, then she would have been uncomfortable or guilty at him making his feelings so clear, but if anything she's bantering - even flirting - with him.

2. May is sensitive to the idea of her and Drew as a couple.
While May was arguably slightly attracted to Drew in the beginning, it isn't until near the end of the season that she starts to properly like him back. The strongest May--Drew hints occur in the Grand Festival, and this is one of the biggest ones: Harley, when first introduced to Drew, says or at least implies that he thinks something's going on between May and Drew (his demeanor is basically along the lines of, "oh, I'm sorry, am I interrupting something?"). May blushes and squeaks, "Harley-san!". She does something similar at the end of the GF, too; her mother teases her about the way she's looking at Drew and she freaks out, blushes, whirls around and protests loudly. This is especially significant when bearing in mind that in the season before, somebody had told her she must be in love with Ash, and her only response then was to fold her arms and make a sarcastic reply.

3. May is very interested in Drew, too!
This doesn't manifest itself at first - in fact, May's very dismissive towards Drew at the beginning of the series. For example, in Pros and Con Artists, when he tells her he's only there to see Beautifly, she answers, "Then now you can go!" But later on, she begins to show the same signs of suspiciously persistent interest in Drew that he shows towards her. The first tiny clue is actually way back in Win, Lose Or Drew - while Drew's doing his appeal and the gang are all watching on the television backstage, Ash, Brock and Max all try not to sound too impressed out of solidarity to May, but May herself is staring at the screen with her hands clasped under her chin, enrapt. She later acts the same when Robert's on stage, though, so this probably isn't a real hint. She is, however, the only person to notice when Drew leaves the contest early. And the earlier moment is echoed in Fan With A Plan, when May is out training and hears Drew nearby; she spies on him from behind a bush and is very embarrassed when he calls out and reveals that he knew she was there all along.

When the Grand Festival hits, though, there are quite a few instances where May becomes quite preoccupied with Drew. In the first episode, she seemingly senses him standing some distance away and runs over to him. Later when he shouts at her, she stares after him, deeply upset. In the final epi, when he loses to Robert, she gazes at him with her eyes wobbling in the traditional anime way to show emotion. And of course, at the very end, she watches him walk away on the beach, with the wind blowing her hair around dramatically. She is so fixated on him that she doesn't even notice her friends and mother approaching until Ash physically obscures her view by holding an ice cream in front of her face. Even then, she only manages to keep her attention on them for a couple of seconds before turning back to Drew, her hands clasped in front of her, smiling and blushing. This causes her mother to jump in and tease her.

When a girl is quiet, a million things are running through her mind.

When a girl is not arguing, she is thinking deeply.

When a girl looks at you with her eyes full of question, she is wondering how long you will be around.

When a girl answers "I'm fine." after a few seconds, she is not fine at all.

When a girl stares at you, she is wondering why you are lying.

When a girl rests her head on your chest, she is wishing for you to be her's forever.

When a girl wants to see you everyday, she wants to be pampered.

When a girl says "I love you." she means it.

When a girl says "I miss you." nobody could miss you more than that.

Life only comes around once, so make sure you spend it with the right person.

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, and calls you back when you hang up on him.

The guy who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.

Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead,

Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.

The one who holds your hand in front of his friends and is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you there for him.

The one who turns to his friends and declares "That's her."
