i think it’s kind of incredible how every single pokemon character has at least a few VERY dedicated fans that absolutely adore them

and i just know somewhere there has to be at least one person who’d wholeheartedly say that Scott is their favorite pokemon character ever and i want to find them

Okay, one last one.

"Diamonds and Pearls."

"Let's get through dis season, foist."

Fun fact: At the time Advanced Battle had just ended and they were about to move onto Battle Frontier, the final Gen III season (which for some reason took place in Kanto. Why did they move the Battle Frontier to Kanto?)

How do you guys think the battle frontier function? Likes it a full time thing or is there room for other occupations? It's similar to the pokemon league ( as in elite 4 and champion) where only The Best trainers are there, but much wider in variety? I ask this cause I can see Wally taking Anabel's place as the Frontier of the Battle Tower, but I also don't want him to just be there, you know? So either he can have the freedom to do other stuff ( like travel, do other professional trainer things), or I gotta think of something else.

Hints toward Advanceshipping in the new version of the Pokemon AG

Being an Advanceshipper since childhood, I wanted to make this post so you all can get an idea on how many hints toward Advanceshipping there will be in the new version of the advanced series. And yes, one of my top objectives for going back in time to update the advanced series is making Advanceshipping more hinted at and even official. 

Hoenn League saga

AG 001 - “Get the Show on the Road!” - After Ash’s Pikachu destroys May's bicycle accidentally, she angrily goes to scold Ash for it while he’s resting in Professor Birch's laboratory. As she quietly opens the door, she sees Ash and Pikachu resting contently together, and she forgives him without telling him, and at the same time, May begins to develop a secret crush for Ash. Later on, May guilts Ash into letting her travel with him. Once he says that she could come along, May strikes a triumphant pose by the camera and yells, "YES!" to show her enthusiasm to the audience. This, coupled with the previous scene where she secretly spies on him and forgives him for his kindness toward Pikachu, shows that May might be taking a liking toward him. AG 002 - “A Ruin with a View” - During the middle of the episode, Ash is eager to ask a few other Trainers about the Petalburg Gym Leader. Hearing this, May desperately grabs Ash and asks him if they could go eat instead, and if he could show her around the Pokémon Center so Ash wouldn't find out her dad is the Gym Leader; some say this is so Ash would not treat her any differently. Despite his earlier enthusiasm, Ash agrees and they eat. During their meal with Brendan Birch (who decided to accompany Ash and May for a bit), Ash and May talk, and Ash becomes May's mentor for the very first time, teaching her how to capture and battle with Pokémon. When Ash and Brendan go off to spy on Team Magma, May refuses to be left alone and goes along with them, though she only wants to be close to Ash. Later, at the end of the episode, when Ash and May are preparing to leave for Petalburg City, Brendan says he’ll stay at Oldale Town for a while longer; therefore leaving only Ash and May the ones in route for Petalburg City. AG 003 - “There’s no Place Like Hoenn” - After Max is introduced to Ash’s Treecko and May’s Torchic, Max says that Ash would be a perfect match for May, causing both Ash and May to blush embarrassingly and May quickly denies Max’s statement (though she secretly DOES have a crush on Ash). Later during lunch, when Ash asks Norman to a gym battle, Max says that May would be impressed by Ash’v victory, causing Ash and May to blush embarrassingly once again. Later, when Team Rocket steals May's Torchic, she falls to her knees in despair. Seeing this, Ash crouches down next to her and tells her not to worry, promising that he will get her Torchic back for her. Additionally, at the end of the episode, when Max voices his desire to travel with Ash and May, they both show a shocked expression on their faces, possibly implying that they wanted to travel together, alone. Though Max admits that he’ll help them in terms of Pokemon education.  AG 004 - "You Never Can Taillow" - Though this may have just been stubbornness, she grabs Ash's arm and asks him if they can eat. Though Max also grabbed onto Ash, May did it first. Later, she asked Ash where their food was first, instead of asking Max. She took particular offense to Ash's mentioning of Brock, sarcastically apologizing for being useless compared to him. When the Taillow were about to attack Ash and friends, Ash gets in front of May in a protective way. AG 011 - "A Bite to Remember" - When a group of Mightyena shows hostility towards the group, May hides behind Ash for protection, even though Brock could provide protection just as easily. However, Ash was closer to May than Brock was. AG 017 - "Stairway to Devon" - When Ash and May discover that a Team Aqua intruder is in the building and that Max could be in potential danger, May clasps her hands and asks Ash for reassurance and support. Once Ash comforts her, she is relieved. This is the first of many scenes where May continually looks toward Ash for support and reassurance, further expanding on their mentor/student dynamic. AG 018 - "On a Wingull and a Prayer!" - Ash, May, Brock and Max end up in a deserted place where there are no boats or ferries for them to reach Dewford Island, where Ash's next gym battle will take place. They manage to find a beach port which is deserted and May happily says that at least they found a beach, to which Ash irritably replies that, "A lot of good that does if we're going to miss the boat anyway, May!". May then becomes quiet and after hearing Ash say that he was really eager to go to Dewford Island for his next gym battle, she determinedly says that she will find a boat on her own while the others can relax. Later, while searching for a boat, May looks out to the sea and thinks about Ash yelling at her earlier on, which makes her slightly blush. AG 020 - "Brave the Wave" - On Dewford Island, May decides to strip into a bikini right on the beach. However, instead of just running down to the shore to take a swim, she purposely poses in her bikini in front of Ash and her little brother and asks what they think. Ash appears to be embarrassed by the situation, but so is Max (who could arguably seem even more embarrassed) for understandable reasons. Though it’s not seen, Ash does blush bright red from seeing May in her bikini and posing in front of him. AG 032 - “Abandon Ship!” - When Ash and May are standing together on the abandoned ship’s deck, Ash continuously stares at May while saying nothing, and he even blushes slightly. AG 033 - "Now That's Flower Power!" - When Drew was criticizing May's ability as a Coordinator, Ash stands up, the camera moving to show his face only, and he quickly went to defend May, who’s clearly upset from Drew’s criticizing.  AG 034 - “Battle at the Museum” - When Ash and Brendan are about to have a battle at the beaches of Slateport, May steps in between them, saying that they should visit the Slateport Oceanic Musuem first. The boys agree, though Ash agrees more. Later when Team Aqua arrives, May gets behind Ash. After Team Aqua leaves, Captain Stern gives Ash, May, and Brendan a Spheal each. May’s shiny female Spheal begins to take a liking to Ash’s regular-colored male Spheal. AG 035 - “Ash vs Brendan” - When Ash and Brendan are having the Pokémon battle at the beaches of Slateport City, May secretly routes for Ash to win. After Ash beats Brendan, May congratulates the two, as do Brock and Max. However, May secretly congratulates Ash more.  AG 037 - "Win, Lose or Drew!" - After witnessing May lose her first ever Pokémon Contest, Ash blames himself for her loss. He says, "It’s my fault. I wish I’d spent more time with May, teaching her." Later, May cries backstage as everyone tries to cheer her up, but to no avail. May’s shiny Spheal is just as sad as May. Although everyone tries to cheer May up backstage, the camera zooms in on Ash when he says something to May. When Max and Brock consoled May, the camera was focused on all of them. Ash’s Spheal does manage to cheer up May’s shiny Spheal. AG 060 - "All Torkoal, No Play" - When May and Torchic fall off of a cliff in the Valley of Steel and just barely manages to grab onto a branch to save herself, a close-up of Ash shows him visibly worried about her and promising to rescue her. With everyone else holding on to the rope, Ash lowers himself into the chasm, grabs her hand, and they are both lifted back to safety, all the while Ash and May blush. AG 066 - "True Blue Swablu" - When May wants to stay and help Swablu's injuries get better, Ash generously tells her, "You're going to take any time you need to help your buddy out," even though his first priority is making it to the Petalburg Gym; however, despite that, Ash also cares about the Swablu. Also, when Max is saying, "Which reminds me of when overheard that May has a secret crush on a certain someone that she met in--" she quickly cuts him off, saying, "That musta been a silly old dream!" This could suggest that she didn't want Max to blurt out her secret crush on Ash. At the end of the episode, when May gets Swablu, Ash is secretly happy for her to have a Swablu; as it’ll help her in terms of future contests.  AG 069 - "Go Go Ludicolo!" - When confronted by Max about whether she wants Ash to win over her Dad—Norman of the Petalburg Gym—or not, May gives flustered responses. While Max is quick to make up his mind and cheer for his father, May cheers for Ash. Max asks, "What, how can you want Ash to win over our Dad?" May blushes and says, "Well I want Dad to win...but I don't want Ash to lose!" AG 071 - "Love, Petalburg Style!" - During the ending of the episode, May once again seems torn about whom should she cheer for in the upcoming gym battle. AG 072 - "Balance of Power" - Expanding on the previous hints, when Pikachu is hit by a Flamethrower from Norman's Vigoroth, May tries to help Ash by telling him to switch. Brock then says that it's not a good idea, causing May to hastily shut her mouth with her hands in terror. Moreover, at multiple points during the battle, May seems worried and terrified when Ash is losing and happy when Ash is winning. This behavior highly implies that May DID choose Ash over her own father. AG 074 - "The Bicker the Better" - Ash and May are confronted by Oscar and Andi, a young couple who are obsessed with the idea of love and romance. When Oscar and Andi call Ash and May a "happy couple," the two of them quickly deny it and turn their backs to one another, crossing their arms. Ash says sarcastically, "That's a laugh!" and May adds, "Hardy har har!" Oscar and Andi do not stop there, and continue to call them a couple. Ash and May scream, "We're not a couple!" in unison, with the same body language, followed by, "And we're not happy either!" in the same tone in which Oscar and Andi state that they 'both answered together', further causing tensions between the two. As the episode pours on, Ash and May continue to argue and bicker back and forth, presumably to get their minds off the idea of being called a couple by Oscar and Andi. Halfway through the episode, Brendan, Max, Brock, and even Pikachu finally get fed up and threaten Ash and May that the two will be violently abused if they didn’t stop arguing. Ash and May, now under threat of abuse, quickly forgive each other for their argument, and apologize. After that, they continue to talk positive things such as May’s Swablu being a valuable asset to her team; especially in Pokémon Contests.  AG 075 - "Grass Hysteria!" - When May is lost in the forbidden land of the Grass Pokémon, Ash once again steps in to save her despite the warnings. After his Tarzan-esque entrance to save May from the fierce and threatening Grass Pokémon that were about to attack her, he grabs her by the hand with an intense expression, and runs with her to clear a path to safety. Ash and May continue to hold hands as they are running away from the menacing Pokémon. AG 076 - "Hokey PokéBalls" - This episode further brings up the parallelism between Ash and May, by having their two Bulbasaur meet each other. Moreover, the two Bulbasaur show signs of liking one another, a ship that is called VineShipping. Throughout the episode, May makes several comments about how their Bulbasaur are such a great team, and how they are, "Two peas in a Poképod." When Professor Oak allows Ash to keep his Bulbsaur for a while longer, May’s Bulbsaur is happy to hear this and is eager to be guided by Ash’s Bulbasaur. VineShipping is one of the parallels that is used to push Advanceshipping, as canon characters such as Professor Oak and Brock have said in the past that Pokémon represent the feelings of their Trainers, and that when two Pokémon fall in love, there is a good chance that their Trainers will as well. While the Bulbasaur haven't fallen in love with each other yet, it is the first step in their parallel romance. It can be noted that their respective Bulbasaur seem to reflect the current relationship of their Trainers, with Ash's Bulbasaur as a guide and mentor to May's Bulbasaur, just like how Ash was/is guide and mentor for May.  AG 080 - "Cruisin' for a Losin'" - May is sulking on a bench outside the Contest Hall because she lost her match, and was greedy for a ribbon that she didn’t look after the well-being of her Bulbasaur. Ash, holding his own Bulbasaur, comes alone to comfort her, cheering her up while Ash’s Bulbasaur is patting May’s Bulbasaur on the head with his vine, and Ash sitting next to May on the bench. This is followed by a sheepish smile and a "Thank you Ash," from May. Afterwards, when confronting her about running from the contest after losing to Savannah, his tone is both kind and compassionate; and says that he doesn’t blame her for yelling at him earlier. This is a side of Ash we rarely saw until now, where after this moment, Ash’s more caring side becomes more common when it comes to comforting May and helping her. AG 094 - “Thieves of Mt. Pyre” - Before leaving for Mossdeep City, our heroes decide to visit Mt. Pyre first. Half way to the top, two Duskulls appear, and May, terrified, gets behind Ash. Ash brings out Pikachu and his Sealeo to fend off the Duskulls. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Sealeo uses Water Gun, scaring off the Duskulls. Afterwards, May hugs Ash and thanks him, Pikachu, and Ash’s Sealeo for fending off the two Duskulls. AG 100 - Scuffle of legends (part 1) - “Droughts and Downpours” - With droughts and downpours devastating Hoenn, Steven Stone sends Ash and May as a duo to gather as much help as possible for the upcoming battles, and they manage to get help from Keith, Nancy, and their fellow classmates from the A-B-C Islands.  AG 101 - Scuffle of legends (part 2) - “Groudon and Kyogre” - When Steven Stone splits Ash, Brock, May, and Brendan into two groups; Ash and Brock ... May and Brendan, May and Ash wish each other the best of luck and hope that they’ll be ok. They share one last glance at each other before setting off, where Ash and Brock go after Maxie and May and Brendan go after Archie.  AG 102 - Scuffle of legends (part 3) - “Battle of the Ancients” - Ash is captured by the possessed Maxie and May is captured by the possessed Archie, and both pairs end up in Sootopolis City where Groudon and Kyogre fight each other. Ash and May try to get free from the leaders’ grasps, but to no avail. Later, after Max, now with the Jade Orb in his body, attacks Maxie and Archie, causing them to finally let go of Ash and May, Ash, after landing on the ground, quickly grabs May and catches her, causing her to blush. After Steven Stone orders everyone to get clear of the brawling fight between Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza, Ash holds May in his arms as they quickly flee the area, and May blushes more from this.  AG 103 - "It's Still Rocket Roll to Me" - When Ash makes a promise to everyone that they’ll go sight-seeing throughout Mossdeep City after the gym battle against Tate and Liza, May happily hugs Ash and thanks him for letting the sight-seeing idea happen. AG 105 - “Training with the Orbs” - With the Red Orb inside Ash and the Blue Orb inside May both getting stronger as shown when more tattoos of the Ancient Pokémon (Red for Groudon and Blue for Kyogre) appear on their arms, Ash becomes very worried for May, and May is very worried for Ash as much as he is for her.  AG 108 - "A Cacturne for the Worse" - When May was embarrassed by Harley's playback of Max's story and lost her focus, Ash calls encouragement to her that helped her pull through and win the match. After her victory, May, while blushing, thanks Ash for helping her to snap out of it. AG 110 - "Once in a Mawile" - In another love-themed episode, Ash is confused about the concept of love. May teases him and says, "Spoken like a maaaaaan," in the dub while she says, "And he doesn't get it". As the episode continues, Ash says, "No sense in going out of your way just to make somebody like you," to which May responds, "And he still acts like a man". AG 113 - "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt" - May holds onto Ash's hat while he is lost with Snorunt in a blizzard, and continues to do so during the entire search, frantically hoping to find him again, which is seen as a romantic gesture. Once they meet up again, she says, "I believe this is yours." and hands Ash back his hat, and May is relieved to see that Ash is ok. Ash’s Bulbasaur (while on another visit) happily jumps into Ash’s arms for a hug, and May picks up her Bulbasaur, who’s as happy that Ash is alright just as much as Ash’s Bulbasaur and May herself.  AG 118 - "Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?" - After the dilemma with Team Rocket and being separated from Max, Brock, Brendan, Richie, Pikachu, and Drew on Mirage Island, May and Ash find themselves paired together. When May claims that Brock would know what to do, Ash agrees to her statement. Later, Ash and May are seen holding hands as they fall down a cliff and into a river. When Ash gets knocked out, May becomes extremely concerned for him. Later the following night, in a cave, May has the sleeping Ash resting against the fluffy, cloud-like wings of her Altaria. When Ash wakes up, he finds himself resting against Altaria’s fluffy wings, and May is happy that Ash is alright. After being introduced by the group of Wynaut that saved them, and after a Wynaut gives Ash and May a berry each, Ash and May rest up against Altaria’s fluffy cloud-like wings to get comfortable. Ash says that he loves how soft and comfy Altaria’s wings feel, and May, just as comfy as Ash is, smiles at him. After that, May asks Ash if he’d like to join her in playing with the Wynaut. Though Ash politely refuses, he does let his Pokémon (Grovyle, Walrein, Torkoal, Corphish, Bulbasaur, Swellow, and Snorunt) have fun with the Wynaut, May’s Pokémon (her own Bulbasaur, Combusken, Altaria, shiny Walrein, Skitty, and Beautifly) and May herself. As they all play, Ash happily watches. Later, when May is tied up by Team Rocket, Ash comes to her rescue while accompanied by his Pokémon and May’s Pokémon. After Altaria’s Dragon Breath is deflected from Team Rocket and burns the ropes, May falls down, and Ash catches her in his arms, causing them both to blush.  AG 119 - "Date Expectations" - In the middle of the episode, Ash and May are separated from the group. May does her expedition routine and thinks about the concept of being lost with Ash in the woods forever. This idea causes her to have little red blushes on her cheeks. During the last act of the episode, May misses her chance to catch the ferry to her final Contest. In despair, she starts to cry. Sensing her pain, Ash puts his hands firmly on her shoulders and stares intensely into her eyes, giving her the courage to go on while he takes care of her little brother. Moved, May rejects Ash's offer of moving on without them, and tells him about the promise she made with her mother. As she talks, she gradually perks up and suggests that they go to look for Max and Brock. Touched, Ash agrees.  AG 128 - "Rhapsody in Drew" - After May wins the Hoenn Grand Festival and is awarded the Ribbon Cup, given the title of Top Coordinator, and given a Top Coordinator cloak. During a party to celebrate all the contestants' hard work is held at the park after the award ceremony, Ash approaches May and congratulates her for her victory, and she says that all her training with Ash and the experience from previous contests were worth it.  AG 136 - “Ash vs Steven Stone” (part 2) - After Ash beats Steven Stone in a Pokémon battle, he is given the Championship Cup and his own champion cloak (one that fits Ash as the one worn by Steven is too big). May, still in her Top Coordinator cloak, approaches Ash and congratulates him for his victory. They put their Cups on the ground for a minute. Ash and May stare at each other, blush, and finally... they KISS on the lips for the first time; finally conforming that they are officially in love with other. 

Battle Frontier saga

AG 138 - "The Right Place and the Right Mime" - May decides that she wants to continue traveling with Ash in Hoenn. This was before she decided to go back to the Contests that she lost at previously, so she decided that she wanted to be by Ash's side even if she already won the Hoenn Grand Festival and became Top Coordinator. When Professor Oak and Delia arrive at Petalburg City, Delia recognizes May on sight, even though she has never seen her before in person. This could suggest that Ash has told Delia a lot about May. When May sees Max, she seems surprised, then angry at him for coming. This could suggest that she wanted to travel with Ash alone. Ash and May share a scene on the couch together, where Ash asks her if she wants to stay with him. May immediately agrees, while Delia is watching them converse, and blushes, thinking, Ash has such good friends, and she secretly says that she watched Ash and May kiss each other on TV. This could possibly be due to how close she thinks the two are. During the battle with Team Rocket, May can be seen glancing towards Ash's direction after her Bulbasaur used Petal Dance. Soon after, Ash used his Bulbasaur, to use Solar Beam, and blast away Jessie and James's Pokémon. It could suggest that either May wanted Ash to battle alongside her or if she just wanted to steal glances at Ash. AG 149 - "A Hurdle for Squirtle" - When May steps on the Contest Stage, Ash is the only one (of the three) that cheers, saying, "Let's go May! All right!" This is also reflected in all of May's other Contests, in which Ash always seems to be emotionally involved and always helping May when she is in a dilemma by shouting helpful advice to her, though being enthusiastic and supportive seems to be part of Ash's personality, as he has done that for pretty much everyone he has wanted to win a battle or contest, though he does it mostly for May. AG 151 - "Fear Factor Phony" - When May hears sounds made by scary Ghost Pokémon, she frantically goes to Ash and tries to wake him up in his sleeping bag. She presses her hands desperately against his chest to wake him up, yet she didn't do the same to Brock, who could have come to her aid just as easily. This is another example of May choosing Ash over anyone else when she is in either fear or doubt. AG 165 - "Off the Unbeaten Path!" - May falls off a rope bridge and clutches for her life. Once again she cries out for Ash several times, despite the fact that Brock is standing with Ash as well. Ash calls out May's name as he pulls her to safety, but not once does May give any gratitude toward Brock for saving her, only Ash.This could be taken that May relies more on Ash than the others to help her. AG 166 - "Harley Rides Again" - James says to Ash that they were helping his girl (May) in the Contest.  AG 179 - "All That Glitters is Not Golden!" - After setting up camp, May says that she'll go get them some water. Ash, instead of finding something else to do, or helping Max with the firewood, because that is arguably harder than getting water, offers to help May, saying, "I'll help with that."  AG 180 - "New Plot, Odd Lot!" - While May worries about the contest, Ash volunteers right away that he “would be happy to help her train.” May looks at him gratefully and thanks him. Later, after being infuriated by Harley, May quickly says, “Ash! Want to train?” Ash quickly finishes his food and stands up, then replies, “Right behind you!” in a determined fashion. Later, after May barely makes it through the first round of the contest, Ash is seen staring at her with the brown in his eyes showing (which usually only happens when he gets very emotionally passionate about something), while saying, "You deserve it. You really turned it around, May." AG 183 - "Battling the Enemy Within" - After Possessed Ash's battle withPossessed Max, Possessed Ash turns and demands Pikachu to go next. May, Brock, and Brandon stand between Possessed Ash and Pikachu, defending the Pokemon. May says “Ash, I know you’re in there, and I want you back! Please come back to me!” She then kisses Possessed Ash on the lips, allowing Ash to reagin control of his body from the King Pokelantis. After Possessed Max seals the King’s spirit back into his stone ball, Ash turns to May and Brock; saying “You guys are the best." May replies, "Ash, if you keep talking like that, I'm going to blush." AG 198 -  "Home is Where the Start Is" - Ash and May end the Terracotta Contest in a tie; there is only one ribbon, and they can't decide whom to give the ribbon to. May looks at Ash, Ash looks at May, and they nod at each other, and then Ash tells Sceptile to Leaf Blade the ribbon in half. This demonstrates that, occasionally, neither Ash nor May need to speak to know what the other is thinking because they share such a close bond, based on how deep their connection is. In Mean With Envy!, Erica and Joshua were seen in a fantasy holding a split ribbon while Vivian was referring to a couple winning a Contest. Ash and May's victory and split ribbon parallel this. Near the end of the episode, max says that he’ll miss traveling with Ash and Brock, though he admits that he’ll miss seeing Ash and May closely together. As the ship departs, Ash and May share one last love-filled goodbye and May gives a blow-kiss to Ash.

Movies

Jirachi Wish Maker - On one of the nights when May folds a tab on her wishing star, she afterward looks toward Ash who is skipping rocks across a river. The camera then goes back to May, showing the very anxious look on her face. Due to this, it’s believe that May's wish involves Ash, although the nature of the wish is never confirmed. In this example, however, one must account for the fact that Max and Jirachi are skipping rocks with Ash, as well as the fact that nothing else is going on at the time. When she looks "anxious" after viewing the scene, it could be partially due to sadness, since she knows that her little brother and Jirachi have very few days left together and will never see each other again afterward. As she looks away from the scene, she glances back at her wishing star and views the final two leaflets, which remind her that the week is coming to an end. It could be noted that May made the wish before Jirachi hatched, so it would be impossible have made the wish about Max and how he would miss Jirachi. Arguably, there is the possibility of the wish being a Top Coordinator, yet having her stare at Ash, she talks to herself, saying that she wants to be happy with Ash in one way or another.  Destiny Deoxys - Ash gets furious with Tory Lund for pushing him when he tried to help him. In order to stop him, May throws her body on top of Ash and pleads for him to stop. She places her hands on his shoulders and desperately tries to convince him to calm down. Ash is surprised by her action, and maintains a shocked expression as he quickly agrees, and calms down.  Lucario and the Mystery of Mew - During the dance in the ballroom, Lady Ilene says that Ash is actually allowed to dance with whoever he wants. Hearing this, May walks up to Ash and asks him for a dance, Ash blushes, but he agrees. May grabs his hand and they begin dancing, all the while both are blushing. Later, when the group plans to go rescue their Pokemon from Mew, Ash is seen standing at the balcony. After the rest of the group leaves, May goes up to him and tries to reassure him that Pikachu is probably already making friends. When Ash seems less worried, May looks at him happily, knowing that she helped cheer him up a little. On the way to the Tree of Beginning, Ash once again looses his cool gets angry at Lucario. May quickly rushes down into the lake where Ash is standing and clutches his arm, trying to prevent him from getting himself in trouble. May holds onto him frantically until the situation is resolved. Afterward, May follows Ash around "mothering" him, telling him to get himself dry before he catches a cold. Later at the Tree of Beginning, when Kidd Summers tells Ash that May, Max, and Brock were swallowed up by the white blood cells, Ash is horrified by the news, thought he’s mostly horrified that May was swallowed up.  Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea - As Ash and May go swimming with Manaphy, they find a school of Luvdisc, the Pokémon thought to symbolize love, and begin swimming among them. It can be noted that, even though Dawn has seen Luvdisc with Ash as well, Ash and May were the only ones that swam with them, possibly meeting the description of Pokémon Sapphire's Pokédex entry—"It is said that any couple meeting this Pokémon is promised a loving relationship that never ends." When Manaphy goes missing, May begins sobbing, heartbroken. Ash gazes at her with a pained expression and glistening eyes. While Samiya is being flooded with water, Ash puts May, Pikachu, and Manaphy in a capsule left behind by The Phantom, allowing them to survive in the event that his plan to replace the crystal fails. Distressed, May calls out to Ash with tearful eyes, but Ash only asks her to remain safe in there, and leaves with the brown in his eyes seen; this usually happens only when Ash is very upset or very emotional. May continues to pray for Ash's safety and is nearly driven to tears by the thought that he may not return. Manaphy sends May's prayers to Ash using Heart Swap, and with these thoughts spurring him on, Ash recovers from his near-drowned state and replaces the crystal, saving Samiya. After Samiya is raised, May leaves the capsule, initially thrilled that the temple has been saved. Her happiness, however, is quickly replaced by sadness and the fear that Ash will not return. "It can't be..." she says while she puts her hand over her heart. "No way..." Her joy returns as soon as Ash flies up out of the water, chases down Captain Phantom, and saves the abducted Manaphy. In the manga adaption of the movie, when May and Pikachu are unsure of whether or not Ash survived trying to save the Sea Temple, she clutches Pikachu and is tearing up, but still retains hope in Ash by saying, "Ash wouldn't leave us like this..." Additionally, at multiple points during the movie, Manaphy seems very happy around Ash, best exemplified by the fact that it seemed content and happy in Ash's arms, when it's seen to only to accept May's company, even using Heart Swap to switch between Ash and Jack Walker when the latter held it, immediately regaining its happiness after doing so. Many AdvanceShippers suggest that Manaphy has chosen Ash to be his 'father'. When Ranger Jack moves to return into the Temple, Ash calls and warns him that it is too dangerous. Although, he submits when Jack tells him he will be fine. However, when May runs back into the Temple to follow Manaphy, Ash instinctively runs after her, presumably because, of everyone, he doesn't want to put her in danger. It can also be noted that Jackie Walker recognized that Ash, not Max, was the closest to May and specifically asked him to separate May and Manaphy.

And so, that’s all the hints toward Advanceshipping within the new version of the advanced series. I hope you all enjoy going over this post, and I hope that all fellow Advanceshippers enjoy this post, and many of my other “#time travel” posts going over the plots of Advanceshipping-focus episodes such as AG 076 - "Hokey PokéBalls" and AG 118 - "Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?" ... along with Advanceshipping-hinted episodes such as AG 001 - “Get the Show on the Road!”, AG 002 - “A Ruin with a View”, AG 003 - “There’s no Place Like Hoenn” ... and for those wondering why Ash’s Bulbasaur is in the new versions of episodes such as AG 080 - "Cruisin' for a Losin'", AG 113 - "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt", and AG 118 - "Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?”,  yes, I plan on making a post going over the episodes that Ash’s Bulbasaur is in for the new version of the advanced series, so stay tuned for that. ^^

Venus’ evil eye! O_O And a bonus screencap from “The Ole Berate and Switch” with the perfect reaction. 😂

Just a little reminder that she is not someone you want to mess with. She may be small in stature, but she kicks serious ass. And can scare people away simply by looking at them the right way.

I keep making ocs that nobody cares about but I like my characters and I spent the last two days drawing them and I’m gonna post the two pictures separately.

I’m gonna put details about them here and feel free to not read it

Conner is the captain of the ship, making him the frontier brain. Battling is something he’s good at but one thing he really enjoys is boats. He’s from Hammerlocke in Galar. He has an older brother named Jasper and their relationship is kind of based on rem and ram from re zero. Basically Jasper was good at a lot of things and better than Conner in everything he liked but it doesn’t really end up like rem and ram. Conner kind of hates him now and moved to Hulbury with his dad who is a sailor and he gave him a clobbopus.

So these two ocs I made them to be battle frontier ocs. These ones are part of the battle ship. There are five facilities including this because I was thinking of making their logo a star and in my head I have the battle tower and battle tower c. (which is a clock tower)

Dock from murdock it's kinda similar to port so what I was going for in his name is like portside which means left in boat lingo so he's left handed. Hoshi means star and starboard means right so Kenji is right handed.

The story keeps going but he ends up travelling a lot and the clobbopus is the reason why most of his team are made up of water type looking pokemon that aren't water types.

Kenji is the chief officer, he’s kind of like the second in command. He doesn’t really care about the ship or this job I don’t know how he starts working there. He lives in an abandoned house in Ecruteak city in Johto that he bought for cheap and fixed up with the help of his Pokemon. He likes double battles and playing video games. He’s a coder and he was extremely reclusive until his Pokemon forced him to go outside. Then they started making him battle which made him really like battling and then he started going to the battle frontier (the one in platinum, heart gold, and soul silver)

I really need to think of team strategies for them but I do have the Pokemon they own

Conner has Pokemon that are kind of water like but not water types such as Chi-yu, Grapploct, Dhelmise, Dragalge, and Eelektross.

I’m thinking of giving him a Gilmmora because my stupid ass thought it was a water type the first time I saw it but that would make a huge majority of his team weak to ground.

Kenji has Pokemon with an evolution in gen two. I don’t know how to explain it but he has a Weavile, Scizor, Gliscor, Honchkrow, Farigaraf. The ones that don’t qualify for that is his tyranitar because he has one for some reason. I might give him some hisuian Pokemon because some of them qualify for the has a evolution in gen 2 and I’m listing them out now because why not: Overqwil, Ursaluna, Wrydeer, Sneasler, Typhlosion (but I don’t feel like giving him a starter also ursaluna is extremely overpowered lol)

Also for Kenji I don’t think those will be the Pokemon he uses in the battle ship because I made the mechanics based around status conditions and I know most of the Pokemon I listed for him don’t have many status moves.

The mechanics for the battleship is all your Pokémon get a condition called wet and it can be removed but I haven't thought how. It can also be reapplied with the move splash so that move is finally useful. After a certain amount of turns every Pokemon will get splashed and become wet again so you don’t stay dry for the entire battle and also to remove the status you already have. When your Pokemon is wet and they get another status (paralysis, burn, poison, frostbite, and drowsy) They can spread it to another Pokemon with a physical move. (don't ask how burn spreads)

What this can do is encourage you to do is use special moves to avoid getting statused and also play around with protect. Or you can flame or toxic orb yourself and spam facade on the opponent because that works.
