AnnemaeShipping is the femslash ship between Dawn and Iris from the Pokémon fandom.

Canon
All starts in the episode Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times! in the Black & White series of the anime. When Dawn comes to the Unova region, she moves into the house of a butler who is a friend of Cynthia. There Dawn meets Iris from among Ash's friends along with Cilan. Iris is very curious to know more about Dawn. Soon Iris finds it exciting how much fun it is to participate in contests. The two quickly start to hit it off.

In the next episode Expedition to Onix Island, Dawn decides to play along with Iris and they both call Ash a "little kid". Later, the two decide to play alone in the sea, leaving Ash to enjoy himself on his own. Afterwards, When Ash explores the Onix cave, he is sure that the Onix always live there. Dawn says that's not always true, to which Iris replies that he's a kid who thinks he knows everything. They both look into each other's eyes in amusement. This does not please Ash, so he angrily decides to leave the group and enter the cave alone. But when a group of Woobat come out of the cave, Ash falls in fright, causing Dawn and Iris to say together that Ash is a "little kid" for the third time, leaving him alone with Cilan.

Once inside the cave, the Onix come out to attack everyone, causing Dawn and Iris to become even more separated from Ash and Cilan, each fleeing for their accounts, but Dawn just realized that her Piplup had just gotten lost. Here Dawn and Iris begin to have their experiences alone together. First they try to find their way out to the beach, without success. Then, they touch some wild Pokémon that were lurking around thinking they are rare, but receive attacks from them such as Magnemite's Thunder Shock and Foongus' Stun Spore. Afterwards, Iris teaches Dawn how to climb and jump trees with the help of vines. At first Dawn was afraid of it, but she got used to Iris's routine. In the end they both praise each other saying that they each have good reflexes. Unfortunately, the Onix attacked again, this time towards them. The meeting alone between the two ends when the group is reunited again and a shiny Onix calms their group.

Later, they both enter the Junior Cup along with everyone else, defeating many trainers they were matched with. Finally, it is their turn to face each other. Dawn takes out her Mamoswine while Iris takes out her Dragonite. Despite having a type disadvantage and being disobedient to her trainer, Iris' Dragonite manages to defeat Dawn's Mamoswine, leaving Iris as the winner. Dawn encourages her to keep winning through the cup until finally Iris lost to Ash's Krookodile.

At the end of the Junior Cup, Dawn and Iris are amazed by the song of Meloetta, the mythical Pokémon that always accompanied them. When Dawn has to go to Johto for the Wallace Cup, Dawn thanks everyone and especially Iris for the company and finally flies off to Johto.
