Edit: May 30, 2016
I HAVE NOT UPDATED THIS CHAPTER YET. This chapter is going to be the last chapter I update in the overhall (see chapter 37 for details). Since this is the only chapter people even care about, I figure I might as well put this note here before one more person messes it up for everyone:
If ONE MORE PERSON sends me a review asking me to update this chapter with AmourShipping, I'M DELETING THIS ENTIRE CHAPTER UNTIL THE VERY, VERY, VERY END OF THIS STORY. So stop doing it.
If you wanna know why I'm so angry about this, just scroll down my recent reviews for awhile, thanks.
AshShipping
Romance? Okay, now I know people call me dense, but I guess I'll try to get serious about this. Brock explained to me what this whole Shipping thing was all about, and since I'm the main character of the anime I guess I'm paired with just about anything that moves. So… *Inhales, then exhales slowly* Let's get this started…
2000Shipping – Ash x Lugia
Okay, I was told about the Pokémon… Let's see. Lugia was a cool Pokémon. Very accepting of my task as the Chosen One. Not sure what to say romantically… This is weird already, and it's only the first entry…
2baMasterShipping – Ash x Jigglypuff
Oh, that's funny. That thing is a fiend. Stay away!
AbilityShipping – Ash x Anabel
Okay, I seriously thought she was a girl when I first met her. She acted strange around me for some reason.
…What? She likes me?
AdvancedMomShipping – Ash x Caroline
…WHAT? That's May's mother! That's disturbing!
AdvanceShipping – Ash x May
Okay, Brock told me to prepare for the Shipping war for this one, among a few others… May is a very good friend of mine. We share a love for food, but not for each other. I think maybe she has feelings for Drew, but I can't be sure about that one. Also, something about a kid named Wally?
AlfShipping – Ash x Max
Max? Oh, no, he's only seven. Which, I guess I'm ten… Ages just fly out the window around here, if you can't tell. Nah, Max is like a little brother. A very smart, sometimes irritating little brother, but May tells me that's what having a younger sibling is like. I don't know because I don't have one, so I imagine Max could take that place.
AlmostStraightShipping – Ashley x Gary
I dressed up as Ashley once! …Maybe. Kinda. Tracey needed my help with something one time…and I ran into Gary…and…
We're not discussing this!
AltoShipping – Ash x Latias
Latias? Hmm… I'm still not sure which one kissed me on the cheek on the dock.
What? She likes me?
AndrewsShipping – Ash x Misty (under the assumption that they are long-lost siblings)
Assumption my ass! Who the hell said Misty and I were siblings? Even if maybe we were, THIS WOULD BE VERY DISTURBING!
AshachuShipping – Ashachu x Pikachu
…If I wasn't consciously able to know about the fact that I was a human in a Pokémon's body, I might accept this relationship. But, uh, no…
AshorgyShipping – Ash x Casey, Macy, May, Melody, Misty and Latias (human)
…
AshShipping – Ash x himself
…Sick…
AurumShipping – Ash x Arceus
The GOD of Pokémon? Or all of life itself? The creator of EVERYTHING? Paired with me? Wow, what an honor.
AwkwardShipping – Ash x Cassidy
Awkward as hell! How would that even work?
BabyLolitaShipping – Ash x Gothita
…That's…not disturbing…
BadTasteShipping – Ash x Burgundy
This chick despises me! How the heck could we possibly be good together?
BaseballShipping – Ash x Casey
I don't think this girl could love anything as much as baseball…
BenevolentShipping – Ash x Yellow
Yellow is really sweet. I'm sure many people think the same way, though. I heard from somewhere that the two of us, plus Lyra and Dawn, are about the most Shippable people around…
…Why am I the only guy in that group?
BizarreShipping – Ash x Professor Oak
…Lolwat?
BlondisterShipping – Ashley x Misty
Ashley again? Sigh, I don't know what to say.
BodyslamShipping – Ash x Bayleef
So, I don't know what Bayleef's problem is. She seems very affectionate toward me for some reason. Wait…
What? She likes me?
BootlegPearlShipping – Ash x Princess Salvia
Bootleg? Oh, that's priceless. Salvia and Dawn may look alike, but they sure have very different personalities…
BoulderShipping – Ash x Brock
No way! Brock's into chicks. Plus, I think of Brock as the older brother I never had. He's a really good friend.
…No, we're not discussing Silver right now.
BreakTheCutieShipping – King of Pokélantis (Ash) x Dawn
…What? The King of Pokélantis? No, that wasn't me! What? Who's Dark Ash? Oh, c'mon now, guys! Spare Dawn! She didn't do anything to deserve that treatment! She's already got a stalker, give her a break.
CaféMochaShipping – Ash x Cilan
So, according to rumors and facts/hard evidence, Cilan seems to have a huge crush on me. And I guess I kissed him without even realizing this fact. How do I feel about him? Well…
…I'll keep that a secret, just to mess with you guys. I mean, this list is punishment enough, so time to punish you guys. *Trollface*
CapsizeShipping – Ash x Wailord
I BELIEVE THIS IS NOW OFFICIALLY WORSE THAN HSOWA!
…And yes, I do know what that is. My youngest best friend is an Internet meme fiend.
CascadeShipping – Ash, Misty, Daisy, Violet x Lily
…All at once? Uh, no…
ChikoShipping – Ash x Chikorita
See BodyslamShipping…
ChocolateShipping – Ash x Lucario
…I want some chocolate… Do Lucario like chocolate?
CluelessShipping – Ash x no one
Very funny…
CollideShipping – Ash x Barry
Collide, haha. Barry's an odd fellow. He likes to fine us for no reason and he's always in some ridiculous hurry. To where, I don't know. I think he needs to chill on the coffee.
…I think he has something for Paul. He seems to admire him very much…
ComaShipping – Ash x Paul
Coma? I feel that Paul would try to put me in one someday. I don't think he likes me very much. Correction, I don't think he likes anybody. He likes picking on Dawn, though.
ConfidenceShipping – Ash x Georgia
*Snort* I don't think so. I think Iris would kill me. Or her.
CornyShipping – Ash x Daisy (Cerulean)
Ugh, no way. She's cute, but man is she preppy. I don't think I'd be her type anyway…
What about Tracey?
CypherShipping – King of Pokélantis (Ash) x Misty
NO! QUIT WITH THE KING! THAT'S NOT ME!
DaddyShipping – Ash x Sammy
I'm not understanding the name of this one… But that kid was pretty cool. Too bad I might not get to hang out with him again…
…WHAT? THAT WAS PROFESSOR OAK?!
DarkKitsuneShipping – Ash x Zoroark
What's with you guys and the Pokémon?
DawnIsThatYouShipping – Ash x Mitsumi
This girl looks nothing like Dawn. It's just that they seem to shop at the same place…
DawnofaNewShipping – Ashley x Dawn
Sigh… I have a question. Is this meaning that I myself am crossdressing as Ashley or that Ashley is her own person? Either way, it still isn't right.
DeathShipping – Ash x Sabrina
I DON'T LIKE ANYONE IMPLYING THAT SABRINA WANTS ME DEAD! What, it's also called MirageShipping? THEN WHY GIVE IT ANOTHER NAME?
DeepVastShipping – Ash x Rosa
I don't know who Rosa is. Wait, you mean the chick who looks like Sailor Moon? Oh. Yeah, haven't met her.
DeliachildrenShipping – Ash x Molly Hale
…Does this imply that Molly really is my sister?
…MOM!
DemandShipping – King of Pokélantis (Ash) x Pikachu
LEAVE PIKACHU ALONE!
DenseShipping – Ash x Croagunk
Okay, so I saw the name for this one coming, but with Croagunk? Why Croagunk?
Don'tEatTheMushrooAarghShipping – Ash x Parasect
…Crack Ship hardcore, lulz.
DoppelgangerShipping – Ash x Ashley
How could this even work?
DoppelMaleShipping – Ash, King of Pokélantis (Ash), x Ashley
AAHHHHHHHHH!
DragneelShipping – Ash x Chili
Chili kinda reminds me of Barry, only maybe less hyper. I think Cilan would kill me if I were to date his brother, haha. That would be so mean.
DurpShipping – Ash x Bidoof
Hurp, durp, no!
ElectricAttackShipping – Ash x any electric attack
Hahahahaha, what?
ElectrioTrashVoltShipping – Ash x bicycles
C'mon, guys. I don't know where Misty is, but I swear I can still hear her voice yelling about that damn bicycle, even though Nurse Joy already fixed it for her.
ElementalHaremShipping – Ash, Cilan, Chili x Cress
…
…Would Cilan even approve of this?
ElfShipping – Ash x Jynx
Jynx? Ugh, you guys seriously need to stop with the Pokémon…
EternalpainShipping – Ash x Venomoth
Eternal pain? Is there something about Venomoth that I should know about?
Fandom'sShippingBicyclesShipping – Ash, N (BW) x Volkner
…Should I even try to interpret this one?
FantasticFivesomeShipping - Ash, Misty, May, Dawn x Iris
…This may be worse than Misty and her sisters.
FightingDreamersShipping – Ash x Don George
I see we have some fans of Naruto…
FireredShipping – Ash x Zoey
…Just throwing this out there, but I don't think Zoey likes men…
FireShipping – Ash x Macy
I don't know what her deal was either. She seemed to not like Misty at all.
What? She likes me?
FirstimetherShipping – Ash, Red (game) x Red (PokéSpe)
I think this would be the most epic pairing ever. The three greats…
Hey! Who said that? I am too a great! I'm based off of Red's character! S-shut up!
FirstShipping – Ash x Mewtwo
FIRST! Haha, no, I don't know. Mewtwo? Sure, maybe he needs a hug, but not from me.
FizzleShipping – Ash x Cress
Cress, the calmest brother. Again, Cilan would kill me.
FleshAndBloodShipping – Ash x Silver (game)
…
We're not going to discuss this pairing, because that would mean the possible mention of a man that may or may not be (scarily more than likely) my father…
FollowYourDreamShipping – Ash x Ho-Oh
Ho-Oh! The first Legendary I ever saw. Hmm.
FurtherShipping – Ash x Leaf
Now, Leaf is supposedly a good friend of game!Red's, but for some reason, she seems to pop up a lot in relation to Gary. I've never met her, but I don't know. Maybe I should ask Gary about it.
GluttonShipping – Ash x Snorlax
So what? I like food. So does May.
GoogleShipping – Ash x Giselle
The only girl I seemed to show an attraction to before everyone made me this dense sap so that I couldn't make my own judgment of girls.
This girl was a bitch, though.
HeadstrongShipping – Ash x Charizard
I'm telling you, Charizard can be a hassle. Why do you guys keep pairing me with Pokémon? Pair Pokémon with other Pokémon! Like, I don't know, Charizard with Charla!
…ValleyShipping?
HitsuzenShipping – Ash, Paul x Infernape
…I see we also have some fans of XXXHolic…
…Yeah, Hitsuzen for sure. That's what Paul gets for underestimating Chimchar.
IllegalActionShipping – Ash x Bulbasaur
…No comment.
DON'T MENTION HENTAI, YOU SICKOS!
…Also, don't ask me how I know what that is. Don't tell Mom.
ILoveMyBadgesShipping – Ash x his badges
…Inanimate objects, now? You guys just don't care anymore, do you?
ImaginationShipping – Ash x Bianca (BW)
For some reason, I feel that this pairing would be a lot like CollideShipping, except that she's a girl a possibly a little more hyper.
ImiteShipping – Ash x Duplica
Duplica's pretty cool. I feel that she would dress like me a lot just to creep me out.
Which, with all the mentions of Ashley and the King of Pokélantis, isn't something I need…
IShallNameYouSquishyShipping – Ash x Poliwhirl
*Makes a fish face for no discernable reason*
IsThatAPokeballInYourPocketO rAreYouJustHappyToSeeMe?Shipping – Ash x Growlithe
…A Growlithe? You put me in a Shipping with a name like that, and it's only with a Growlithe? Brock told me that a lot of these were intended for questions such as this…
KenshiShipping – Ash x Tracey
Tracey's different than my other close friends. Cilan likes me, Brock likes chicks and is like a big brother, Max is like my younger brother, and the girls are…well, the girls. But I don't know about Tracey. Don't get me wrong, he's a really good friend, it's just that I can't think of how it would be like if we were together. I don't know, it's a strange thought.
KetchumAllShipping – Ash, Misty, Brock, Tracey, May, Max, Dawn, Iris x Cilan (gen infinite)
Haha, oh, you guys are so punny…
KikooShipping – Ash x any new badge
…Sigh…
KingdomHeartsShipping – Ash, King of Pokélantis (Ash) x Zoroark
You guys really do like to throw other franchises into this. What's next, SailorMoonShipping? DoctorWhoShipping?
…What? Those are already existing Shippings?
KissShipping – Ash x Melody
Hmm. Melody kissed my cheek when she first met me, but she said something about it being a tradition. But she didn't kiss Misty or Tracey.
What? She likes me?
KodakShipping – Ash x Trip
I don't care for Trip. He's…ugh, irritating. He seems to have some huge problem about me being from Kanto. I don't get it.
LaRousseShipping – Ash x Tory Lund
I'm glad I was able to help Tory get over his fear of Pokémon. I hope he's doing well with Plusle and Minun. He reminds me of Max, only maybe not a bratty sometimes.
LeagueShipping – Ash x Ritchie
People say that Ritchie is like my twin. Which, I guess I feel the same way. Could you imagine dating your twin?
…No, let's stay away from BlankShipping.
LeychuShipping – Ashley x Ashachu
*Headdesks*
LuckiestTrainerEverShipping – Ash x any Legendary Pokémon he encounters
Hellz yeah! I'm pretty sure that I've met every Legendary… Does that make me amazing or what?
MajordomeShipping – Ashley x Cilan
…So, supposedly, Cilan got a huge ass nosebleed from seeing a picture of me as Ashley. I don't know if that's to be taken as a good thing or not…
MalevolentShipping – Ash x King of Pokélantis (Ash)
…I have been warned not to look up any pictures of this one… Those fangirls are nuts…
MareShipping – Ash x Bianca (Kanon)
I'm not sure if Bianca had much an interest in me. She was a nice girl, but now that I know about Latias…
MeoAshShipping – Ash x Meowth
Now way! Sheesh, that little punk tricked us recently. Hey, so maybe I did fall for it. Don't blame me, I don't write the script.
MistakenShipping – Ash x Butch
This is a mistake.
MisunderstandingShipping – Ash x Giratina
Misunderstanding indeed.
MommyShipping – Ash x Delia
WHAT? HELL NO! WHO PAIRED ME WITH MY MOTHER? HUH? WHO?!
MorpheusShipping – Ash x Angie
I thought this girl was a boy, too. And she also acted strange near me, too. Don't tell me…
What? She likes me?
MotherofPearlShipping – Ash x Johanna
NO, I'M DONE WITH MOTHERS! YOU GUYS ARE SICK!
NaïveShipping – Ash x James
Ugh, no. Y'know, I'm conflicted on whether James is gay or likes Jessie. It's really confusing. But considering how nearly everyone can swing either way, I guess it doesn't really need to be speculated.
NegaiShipping – Ash x Iris
Hmm. Iris is a little different from my other female traveling companions. I didn't fry her bike. She calls me a kid, even though we're practically the same age. She seems to follow me for no discernable reason. I'm still trying to get used to her. She's a friend, yes, she's just different. Like Cilan, since we all know he likes me.
…I wonder who Iris could be paired well with?
NeoLeagueShipping – Ash x Morrison
Morrison's just a friendly rival. Like May, we definitely share a love for food. I think if the three of us entered a contest, I'm positive May and I would lose. Morrison doesn't mess around when it comes to food, haha.
OrbShipping – Ash x his Poké Balls
…This is the stupidest…
OthelloShipping – Ash x Hilda
Lots of people like this pairing for the simple fact that many thought that she was supposed to be my traveling companion for Isshu instead of Iris. I guess many are waiting for the day that we meet. I'm interested in finding out why they pair me with her so much.
PalletburgShipping – Ash x May (under the assumption that they are long-lost siblings)
*Facepalms*
PalletShipping – Ash x Gary
So…this one's pretty popular with the fangirls. I guess Gary's teasing can be taken as a crush, since I guess people like to taunt and playfully hit the people they like. I don't understand how this works, because Gary was a dick. He's not so much anymore, but if you love someone, why the hell would you be mean to them? Is that normal? Am I just completely missing something here?
PearlShipping – Ash x Dawn
Dawn is like a sister to me. One that really likes to worry about her appearance and likes really girly things and can be a hassle sometimes. But she's a close friend of mine. Besides, she might have something for Paul anyway. Or Kenny. Not sure. Brock and I are still looking into this.
PersonaShipping – King of Pokélantis (Ash) x Ashley
*Flips a table*
PikachuSelfShipping – Ash x Ashachu
Now that's not even right…
PikaShipping – Ash x Pikachu
Oh, Pikachu… I could understand why this pairing would be high on the list. Okay, so, Pikachu's my best friend, no doubt, but he is still a Pokémon. Sure, many people like to rectify this by turning him into a female human. But, and this is a big but, Pikachu is a male. Just to clarify.
…No! Stop bringing up genderbending! Hey! Who brought up Ashley?
PikatheftShipping – Ash x Hunter J
WHAT? THIS WOMAN TRIED TO MURDER ME! EVEN TEAM ROCKET HAS NEVER DONE THAT!
PimpShipping – Ash x everyone else
Haha, this one's more suited for Brock! …What? You mean this Shipping is also Brock x everyone else? Then why am I included?
PokéballThrowingHandShipping – Ash x his right hand
No, no, we keep the 'self' Shippings on Gary's list.
PokédexPlzShipping – Ash x his Pokédex
*Stares at his Pokédex, then throws it*
PokéShipping – Ash x Misty
Oh, here's the big one… Probably the most popular Shipping in all of the Pokémon fandom. All right, here's the deal… Misty is crazy. Sure, she's a good friend and all, but I don't think we could ever do more than a casual date or anything. I'm pretty sure she likes me, even though violence isn't always the best way to show it. But I can see where you guys are going with this one.
She is my best friend, though, along with my other traveling companions. I am very glad to have met her.
PokéSilverShipping – Ash x Lyra
Lyra was pretty bouncy. As in, bouncing off the walls. I think she seemed to think that Dawn and I were a thing, which we weren't, but she seemed convinced otherwise.
PyramidShipping – Ash x Brandon
IS THE KING OF POKéLANTIS PAIRED WITH HIM, TOO?
…I swear this guy is Paul's father…
RayShipping – Ash x Cynthia
For some reason this Shipping is very popular. I don't get it. Is it because guys think she's hot? I wouldn't go for someone just because of looks…even if she is kinda cute. But I imagine that she has, like, this really scary dark personality or something. Is that just me?
RecoverShipping – Ash x Gardevoir
YEAH, I'M GOING TO NEED TO RECOVER FROM THOSE PICTURES BROCK AND MAX SHOWED ME FROM THE INTERNET! THAT BOY IS SEVEN! SOMEONE KEEP HIM AWAY FROM THE INTERNET! I DON'T EVEN THINK BROCK IS OLD ENOUGH! BUT HELL, I'M GONNA BE TEN FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE! WHO CARES?
RedShipping – Ash x Jessie
…No.
RespectShipping – Ash x Drew
Drew? I don't have much of an interest in Drew. I think he has some fascination with May. He likes to give her roses, which I guess is an obvious sign that he likes her. But he always says they're for her Beautifly.
…So…does that mean he likes her Beautifly?
RivalSiblingShipping – Ash x May Oak (Electric Tale of Pikachu)
Oh, man, would Gary kill me if I dated his sister… I should try it anyway.
SexyBackShipping – Ash, Pikachu, Charizard, Bayleef x Larvitar
…What? C'mon now… I don't even know what to expect anymore. I think you guys are just bored.
ShatterShipping – Ash x Giovanni
…NONONONONONONONONONONONONONO NONONONONONO! *Cries in a corner*
ShaunaShipping – Ash x Dawn (under the assumption that they are long-lost siblings)
*Still trying to recover from the last entry, almost to burst into tears again upon seeing this entry*
SherlockShipping – Ash x Looker
…I don't know if I can finish this list, guys… THE PENALTIES OF BEING THE MAIN FREAKING CHARACTER!
…Looker?
SlyShipping – Ash x Zorua
…Can I just say no to the rest of these?
SmirkShipping – Ash x Illusion!Ash (Zorua)
NO!
SnapShipping – Ash x Todd
Eh, Todd's a good guy. I haven't seen him in awhile, though.
SoulsplitShipping – Ash, King of Pokélantis (Ash), Ashley x Ashachu
I don't think I'd even want to glance at what kinda fanfiction someone would write about this… Has this been done? Does someone actually Ship this?
StaminaShipping – Ash x Red (game)
The ultimate Shipping, lulz.
I said stop making fun of me. I've never even met game!Red.
StatutoryShipping – Ash x Officer Jenny
Oh, wouldn't that just be the biggest irony?
SupersaturationShipping – Ash x Lola
I SAID STOP IT ALREADY!
TheOppositeSidesOfMeShipping – King of Pokélantis (Ash), Ash's ghost, Ashley x Ashachu
Now we gotta throw my ghost in there?
TransvestiteShipping – Ashley x Harley
That's just wrong…
VernalKingShipping – King of Pokélantis (Ash) x May
*Ready to rip out his hair*
WrongPikaShipping – Ash x Sparky
Okay, if I had a problem with being with my own Pikachu, what makes you think that I would want to be with someone else's Pikachu?
Final Thoughts
*Dead inside*
…AND THERE'S EVEN MORE THAN WASN'T COVERED IN THIS LIST?!
*Continues to weep in the corner, doing his best to recover. Then remembers RecoverShipping and cries a river that he wishes to drown in*
Yes, Ash has a bunch more Ships than this, but there's no way I was going to do every single Shipping. This was already bad enough…
So, obvious, Ash is completely OOC, but I did that so that he could actually give some logical responses. If Ash was his usual dense self, this whole chapter wouldn't have even been possible. Trust me.
If some of these seemed confusing, they made have been mentions to my other stories, like AlmostStraightShipping and CaféMochaShipping. It happens.
As for PokéShipping, I didn't want Ash to just accept the Shipping and make it obvious or anything. I'm not biased, but out of this whole list, do you know how many I support? Thirteen. And several others that I don't mind. Thirteen. PokéShipping is a given, but I have an entire story dedicated exclusively to Ash Shippings.
*Time to shamelessly promote you guys checking out The Story of Ash and: Insert Character Here* What? Hey, guys!
I've got over 25 of you guys' suggestions to work with, so if I haven't gotten to yours yet, be patient! I promise I will! Thanks for sticking with this story! I honestly didn't think it would be this popular! :D
