PearlShipping

PearlShipping is the het ship between Ash and Dawn from the Pokémon fandom.

Canon
Dawn is Ash's female travelling companion in the Diamond and Pearl saga of the anime series. Before the two met and not long after Dawn started her journey with her water starter Piplup, she came across Ash's Pikachu, the two got separated not long after they had arrived in Sinnoh; and Dawn took it upon herself to help the lost Pikachu find his trainer after she learned that the lost Pokémon she came across isn't a wild one. When the two did meet, Dawn is stunned at the lengths that Ash would go to for Pikachu.

Fanon
This ship is among the more popular anime-based shippings, along with PokéShipping (Ash×Misty), AdvanceShipping (Ash×May) and ContestShipping (Drew×May). Fans of this ship consider Ash should be with Dawn because of their high level of friendship and Dawn has objectives before of the journey across the Sinnoh region.

Ash and Dawn shows in many occasions to keep one another. Between the two there is a mentor-student relationship, and the two quickly bind thanks to the fact that they have similar personalities. Because of the Coordinator class, a few fans presumed that Dawn would have returned in the XYZ anime series to become a Pokémon Performer, but she didn't.

It rivals with PokéShipping, PengüinShipping (Kenny×Dawn), AppealShipping (Dawn×Zoey) NegaiShipping (Ash×Iris), AmourShipping (Ash×Serena), AlohaShipping (Ash×Mallow), AureliaShipping (Ash×Lillie), BlueAngelShipping (Ash×Lana) and the FirstFriendShipping (Ash×Goh).
