Summary: Zoey dances in heels and re-sprains her ankle two nights before the Wallace Cup in Nimbasa City. Dawn comes over to check on her the morning after.
Say, Chloe, has Dawn ever mentioned to you a certain girl named Zoey?
Chloe: Wow, I'm getting asked a lot of questions lately!
A little nerve-wracking, but I'll try to keep answering as much as I can!
Anyway... wow, that girl. You know Dawn showed me a picture of her once? She follows her Rookidee page. And, uh.
She makes me worried about my chances with Dawn 🥲 Zoey is way too dashing, skilled at her field (the same one Dawn specializes in, no less) and confident! I'm none of these things!
I really hope she's not interested in Dawn romantically (though I definitely wouldn't blame her if she was). She would be a tough opponent.
Any unhinged rambling opinions on Dawn x Zoe 👀? Those are textbook rivals to friends to couple 😂
THEY'RE SO GOOD! It's trully a shame people sleep on them so much. Like, I know I'm a pearlshipper first and foremost but I adore them! If pokeani ever canonized any ship I would want for it to be them more than anything QwQ
Like, I even consider that in my own made up timeline, in the near future Dawn and Zoey will get together (while Dawn still dates Ash) because it just makes sense yknow?
Their Princess-Prince aesthetics is unmatched. The Utena vibes coming from Zoey are also something that makes me insane and I just really adore how, just like Ash and Dawn, they're always looking to support the other in every way possible.
bold = i think about them more than myself.
and i’ll talk abt them!! more than myself !
italic = i made that. the name. that was me.
or oomf made it and it's very much canonical.

just random thoughts that i’m writing but sometimes i wonder if the daipa writers hit a wall or reached a point of non return by making nozomi win the grand festival thus making her a top coordinator and perhaps putting a halt in the rivalry between her and hikari
these are just musings about the nozohika rivalry and me wondering what nozomi has been up to ever since dp ended
i understand why nzhk rivalry was written the way it was, nozomi being a kind of stand in for hikari’s mom (she is a prodigy, takes on a mentor approach with hikari, she even has the cat pokemon whose name i forgot like hikari’s mom), hikari’s development being about growing out of her goal and the pressure she put on herself because of her legacy since her perfectionism held her down so she had to learn to be relaxed, learn that losing is okay, etc etc. so hikari never winning against nozomi was part of that and they probably wanted to make the finals be about two characters we’re invested in, rather than having nozomi win against some random or another side character.
the thing is, i’m wondering if the nozohika rivalry still had grounds to grow further post canon, since hikari never caught up to nozomi once and nozomi already being a top coordinator kind of feels like she is in a unreachable place, plus again hikari’s development isn’t about becoming a top coordinator per se (again, i understand why things are written the way they are but when i compare to snst or even shhr rivalries, the latters seem much more equal, haruka eventually caught up to shuu and we got to see how the ag rivals were doing during the mikuri cup in dp, plus we knew they intended to keep challenging each other in johto)
i guess it’s because we don’t know much about the kind of roles there could be in contests, i guess a top coordinator can eventually become a judge during contests?? but even there, it feels onesided in terms of making a rivalry out of that if the nzhk rivalry had to go further.
also, i’m realizing that if nozomi takes a route of mentoring new coordinators by being a contest judge, it would parallel shinji becoming a gym leader lol (the snst and nzhk rivalries have interesting contrasts, after all).
i guess i’m just really curious about nozomi post dp. we never got news on her after all. i wonder if she is a prodigy that hit the jackpot too fast by becoming a top coordinator so young, and after her very first grand festival (i think she never competed in a grand festival before the one in sinnoh). she kind of reminds me of dande, in that way (he felt like he had no room to grow further and was scared because of it).
what else could she do now? of course she can keep competing contests, but i wonder if she can find a rival that keeps challenging her. plus her already being a top coordinator means she has the upper hand in a way if her opponent is still beginning (her rivalry with hikari started with her already having a ribbon for example, so she was already a step ahead and kept being a step ahead until the very end, on the other hand shinji and satoshi started on an equal footing).
anyway, i had to check nozomi and hikari’s last interaction in dp and i think they just say goodbye to each other and there wasn’t a promise to see each other in a contest again (i think). nozomi said she was going to kissaki city because suzuna wanted to throw a party to congratulate her for becoming a top coordinator and she asked hikari if she wanted to come. hikari refused because she wants to support satoshi for his last gym battle and for the league. and that’s how it ends, and in retrospect, it’s kind of sad :( i don’t really get “hints for the future” from their last interaction. in comparison with shinji and satoshi (and again, i know they are different dynamics and i’m not pitting one against the other etc etc), dp ended with a big hint for their future which was unlike anything else we’ve gotten at the time tbh. shirona talking about how they’ll climb up the ranks of the champion league, which is eventually what happened with shinji helping satoshi for the m8 etc, and satoshi promised to battle each other again. even in their reunion, i still got “hints for the future” vibes from the whole setting since the writers always keep their possibilities very open (satoshi could always challenge shinji’s gym in the future and get his badge, they promised to battle each other again, we know shinji is always welcome in masara town since ookido hakase told him so, so even outside battles, there is potential for many things). so the possibilities are endless there (good for me, and good for them!).
just a bit sad for nozomi. i don’t doubt that her and hikari are keeping in touch with each other, but i just wonder how their rivalry could grow further. my imagination is kind of limited, so i don’t have many ideas for how it could turn out after dp.
Day 27 (4/4) of Femslash February - AppealShipping!
My childhood ship that I aperantly never talked about!
Dawn and Zoey did so much for me when I was younger, Pokémon in general is very important to me, gen 4 and the Diamond and Pearl anime espechially so - them included 🌸🌸🌸
I’m curious, what’s your opinion on KohaHika and SatoGou? (or any others of the JN Crew shipped together except of PearlShipping)
Personally, I think KohaHika’s a bit mid and SatoGou’s adorable but not my favourite, but I wanna hear your thoughts.
They're great if as a package deal in the GouSatoHikaKoha policule
Tbh I am an old fan, so ship baits from XY onwards dont have the same effect on me as it has on younger fans I think. If we're talking mlm ships for Ash or wlw ships for Dawn I will always learn towards ShigeSato or NozoHika. Gary is just too much of an iconic gay and Zoey could be my fave Dawn partner if she was just a little less perfect
Like, Go is very gay for Ash, no doubts about that but like... there's just nothing beating SatoHika's relationship for me. SatoHika -bffs-co protag-maybe more- relationship is just so way better explored than SatoGou's in my opinion.
And Chloe in itself is too much of a nothing character for me to invest on her ships (no offense, but girl has like 20 eps focused on her on a 100 eps series, she deserved more)
