Even Power Couples need a small, private moment together before entering the grand stadium ✨💕

Remembered this very sweet SatoAi (Negaishipping) comic drawn by ame025 (@ame066 is their old tumblr blog.) I roughly translated it ages ago...

Iris: Waaah, it’s so vast!

Iris (off-screen): Kya, kya! (excited squeals)

Satoshi/Ash: Bu! [Ptooey!] (spitting out the flower)

Satoshi: Fufu [Hehe] (snickering/laughing mischievously, but quietly, to himself)

Iris: Hey, you two come here and join in!

Iris: It’s AMAZINGLY beautiful!

Iris: What are you doing?

Satoshi: Nothin’.

[pokenoire]

Why follow me, a Negaishipper, when you have claimed yourself to be an Amourshipper?

I'm not complaining, nor am I upset; I'm honestly just confused, Isa.

Because I love Iris always, and never hate her, I'm also an Iris supporter and I'm confused why people hate her so much. 😭💀 I actually found out that people hated Iris in 2023-2024.

Actually BW is one of my favorite seasons, I defended it more on twitter (or x whatever the name is now)

I recently rewatched BW almost a year ago now, and I'm much more neutral than most people in my shipper group. SatoAi is one of my secondary ships (tertiary with Ash) I consider myself a multishipper in general.

✨ I understand that you are confused because I also heard that some idiots were racist towards Iris for being Serena fans. ✨

Also, Iris is one of the best developed characters in BW for me and her catchphrase thing never irritated me either in 2010-2011 or now. (if I'm honest, if Ash could grow up to me she would never stop teasing him about it) because, he can be grown up and act like a silly kid lmao nothing against that

Oh yes BW is one of the series that I like because I had fun every time I watched it after school in 2012. I'm not very selective about Ash's companions. I tend to like them all in their own way.

My hatred is reserved for some of the rivals like Trip and Paul himself.

Ah N arc is still my favorite thing in the whole anipoke.

[satoaiandsonaze]

We all need that someone who gets you like no one else, right when you need it the most.

We all need a soul to rely on, a shoulder to cry on, a friend through the highs and the lows.

I'm not gonna make it alone.

⬆️

Those words, totally what Iris is to our boy Ash.

Words from the song Alone pt. II by Alan Walker. I think I have that song in my Satoai Playlist! If not, let me know and I'll add it.

P J a shipper? SHIP-A-THON ‘18

𝒫𝒶𝓇𝓉 𝐼𝒱

My case in UNOVA/DECOLORE:

NegaiShipping / SatoAi (Ash/Satoshi & Iris): This was a relationship I absolutely adored when BW first started. FINALLY A JUNGLE GIRL WITH NO BIKE FOR ASH TO ZAP xD Also these two goobers feel like brother and sister, eating at the same pace, adventurous, and have their partner by their side since the very beginning! Out of all the main girls, Iris does have the most similar traits with Ash...you can’t deny that. Yes, even the Kodomo ne/”such a kid” trait since both of them are technically xD I really didn’t find it annoying as most people did, in fact I thought it was cute gesture of her to do that to a friend. Favorite moment - Easy, the episode that was made for NegaiShipping! Their argument and reconciliation at Capacia Island with the flower and apple. It’s one of my favorite episodes too in the Decolore arc. Some cute stuff <3

WishfulShipping / DentAi (Cilan/Dent & Iris): Now this is another shipping I initially thought I wouldn’t like, but eventually found myself enjoying as the series progressed! Iris’s rural homegrown attitude compared to Cilan’s sophisticated intellect was another clash of personalities type of ship that everyone seemed to love. When Ash wasn’t in the picture they backed each other up, and cheered each other on when the time for battle commences. Despite their ideal differences they still consider each other to be good friends.  Favorite moment - The episode where I first loved the Wishful pairing...the paranormal Yanmask episode at the Nacarene Museum. Iris and Cilan argue on whether or not there is a ghostlike creature inside the building, but Cilan ignored all her claims and had a more logical point of view. Later on when Cilan was posses, Iris became concerned for him despite that frustrating debate they had.

BestWishesShipping (The whole Unova trio!): I don’t know why, but for some reason I just get a this feeling that this trio can work well in a love triangle. As much as I LOVED and GREW-UP with the original trio of Ash, Brock and Misty, I would prefer this trio in terms of development and overall chemistry (probably gonna get some backlash with that statement). These three definitely pull it off for me as a damn good trio that have their share of laughs, cries and their willingness to learn new things and improve in order to achieve all their dreams.

ImaginationShipping / SatoBel (Ash/Satoshi & Bianca/Bel): A.k.a. please stop pushing me to a puddle of water. Every time when Bianca appears on-screen (or even temporarily travel with them) it’s always fund to her adorable clumsiness affect Ash. It’s literally like she can’t chill with the three of them until she comes into direct contact with Ash some way or another xD Favorite moment - The episode where Ash defended Bianca from her father that wanted her to give up traveling and come home. Her father was absoultely destroying Ash during that battle but she couldn’t take it anymore to see any of his Pokémon hurt and decided to obey her dad. In the end, her papa saw the good heart and nobleness of Ash's determination for a friend like his daughter. Maybe even a new son-in-law in the future.

SommelierShipping / DanCabe (Cilan/Dent & Burgundy/Cabernet): A tasteful ship indeed! The moment I saw another trainer type of Cilan’s kind, I knew I would love this ship. Burgundy’s career path of becoming a Sommlier/Connaisseuse IS BECAUSE OF CILAN...and a lovely revenge I guess. Even after Cilan knew she’s out for revenge he still treats her nicely and even gives advice on becoming a better Connaisseuse. She may be angry at times, but I know deep down she appreciates it ;) Favorite moment - It was in one of the Junior Cup tournament episodes, where she said that she didn’t really care to see Cilan battling. Georgia then teases her that she may have hidden feelings for him in which she ragefully blushed about the statement (blushing in ships is great isn’t it?).

Honorable mentions: Okay there’s A LOT to mention here with the ships I liked in BW, but I’ll try to keep it as brief as I can...gotta love the BW rivals! Stephan and Bianca’s relationship is built on MUSCLES especially with Stephan’s flexing Sawk. Burgundy and Gerogia may despise each other at times but have similar goals of taking down their respective rivals which can make them a really dangerous team if they ever get together. Finally, Ash and Stephan OR Ash and Cameron is the most boyish brOTP in Pokémon with a lot of spunk, battles and full of testosterone! To be honest, I don’t really ship Trip with anyone, but if I had to pick maybe Iris?(they had some good interaction in that one episode) Iris and Shannon’s childhood friendship is too precious for me not to consider it as a SIStp (does that term exist? lol), but it sucks that we didn’t really get to see much of her either (same with Leona in DP). Iris’s Axew and Ash’s Scraggy are my all-around favorite Pokébuddies in the anime! They’re literally brothers doing things together (Scraggy is the younger brother though they’re kinda like twins). Iris and Excadrill’s relationship however didn’t really start off well until she matured to realize winning battles are not what’s important. On a better note, Ash and Meloetta had a cute relationship in the Operation Tempest arc (kind of gave me the movie Latias vibe). Oh yes, and CafeMochaShipping! Dawn maybe Ash’s best FEMALE tag partner, but Cilan without a doubt takes the cake for being his male tag partner when it comes to battles! Cilan, who is older than Ash, looks up to him and wants to “TASTE” everything that is about him (okay, that came out a bit weird...). Oshawott’s lovey dovey attitude when he sees a cute female Pokémon also deserves a mention (dat male Purrloin ep tho). He is the Brock of Pokémon!

P J’s ship-a-thon: OS | AG | DP | BW | XY | SM | Others | Non-Pkmn ships

[gojoest]

it will never not be cute when your partner knows your order to the T like damn you love me so much huh

[gojoest]

what are the au you are living in ? wid satoru

canon divergent where everyone is safe and sound so i can include them in our daily shenanigans :( it’s just important to me for satoru to be his canon self so i can show him how much i love and cherish him for who he is without giving a care about his titles and abilities :( as for myself, most of the time i’m just a normal human being, non-sorcerer. other times i like to imagine myself as a sorcerer on par with him so i can kick his ass (it gets him all hard and bothered) but either way i humble him on the daily

[gojoest]

CAUGHT YOU IN 4K THIS MORNING!

ZEN 😭🩶 this is the absolute sweetest thing someone has ever done to me 😭🩶 thank you!!! this is exactly what i needed this morning 🥺

[gojoest]

Idk if someone asked this before but I wanted to ask who fell first and who fell harder?

satoai is love at first sight but he fell harder and i followed shortly after 🤍 when our eyes met for the first time we both knew we were each others person. i tried to play hard to get at the beginning just to torture him (affectionately) little bit bc he’s so stinky and cute when he tries to impress me and win me over, it makes me love him even harder 🥹

[gojoest]

sweet ai! if i'm remembering right, you and gojo have kiddos? i saw the question you posted and if you feel like it, i would love to know who your kids take after!

darling amira <3 we have two daughters (twins) and a son and they all look more like him ( : especially our son, he’s the spitting image of his father—white hair, blue eyes, chubby cheeks and big beautiful smile—just like chibi toddler satoru ^-^ the girls too have their father’s colors but my features (if that makes sense) i never knew his white hair & blue eyes would be such a stubborn gene >:( and satoru’s is so insufferable about this bc he turns it into a competition and won’t ever shut up about it but i know he secretly wishes they looked more like me hehe :3

[gojoest]

in what country do you live with satoru ? :)

i honestly have never thought about that 😭

[gojoest]

i am so in love with him ;-; f! reader, husband satoru, refers to you as my wife + love + stinky, she/her pronouns mentioned in one place, wearing his shirt, satoai coded ngl

a late-night stroll to the store for an ice cream treat after dinner turns into an impromptu date, leading you both to a secluded meadow, a quiet and lovely spot perfect for stargazing.

satoru plops down on the ground, stretching his long legs as best as he can to make his lap a comfortable seat for you. he can’t have you sitting on the raw grass after all—you came unprepared, and now he’s taking the role of a blanket beneath you. “park that pretty ass here, love”, he taps on his lap once, then opens his arms big to welcome you. you giggle softly, “so chivalrous of you”, as you crouch down and rest yourself atop of him, back leaning against his chest. his arms quickly and naturally wrap themselves around your waist, holding you close.

“well of course”, his chin nuzzled in the crook of your neck from behind, he breathes in your scent and pecks a soft kiss right behind your ear. “can’t have my lovely wife sit on the ground without a blanket and ruin that lovely dress-like oversized shirt with grass stains, you know?”

“oh, i get it now”, you chuckle, giving a light pinch on the flesh of his arm. “it’s because this is your shirt that i’m wearing”

“no, no, you’ve got it all wrong. it’s because this—”, he grabs around you more tightly now, dragging out a cackle from you at the ticklish sensation his fingers cause digging deeper at your sides to rock you back and forth along with him, “—is my lovely wife we’re talking about, and her place is on my lap, always”

“aha, so you will say. stinky”, you tilt your head up to peek at him, trying hard to fight off the silly grin threatening to crack through your fake pout. his honeyed words always manage to get to you. “but it’s the shirt, i know it”, you persist.

“you are stinky—for thinking i���d treasure a mere shirt more than you”, his lips peck the tip of your nose, wetting it a little, then pull away to continue. “while i simply envy the ground that makes contact with your body. i’d kiss and worship each and every surface you step and sit on, but to be completely honest—i’d rather nothing ever touched you, but myself only”, face charging closer again to repeat the action from seconds ago, but this time the kiss is aimed at your mouth — and you cave, he is just too loveable not to. your lips curve into a soft smile before meeting his and melting into a beautiful mess of tender chuckles and fervent hums.

“we came to watch the stars, remember?”, you breathe into his mouth before pulling away. a pained growl incurs from his throat at the loss of your warm lips. “no”, his neck craning lower, chasing after what he’s lost. “don’t care about the stars when i have the entire universe in my arms”

…you cave, again. the stars can wait.

[gojoest]

We talk a lot abt husband this gojo "I love my wife” that but WHAT ABT THE WEDDING?? WHAT WOULD THE WEDDING BE LIKE???

could be either satoai or in general!

it’s a very small, cozy wedding! only a select few are invited — closest friends and students. his clan does not know about it lol

the official registration of your marriage happens beforehand, on a whim which is lowkey how satoru proposes to you (can hardly be considered a proposal tbf). he doesn’t say anything to you, just drives you to the ward office one morning and once there he’s like “how about we get married?” (he’s locked the car doors to ensure you won’t escape jksjhsj)

the only ppl that know about this are shoko and geto bc they’re called there to be your witnesses

the celebration is very, very small really. and it is also a surprise to those invited. like they don’t know that’s your wedding they’re coming to bc satoru only sent them a location, without any context. he’s like “forgot to tell you this was our wedding party, heheh~ sowwy!!”

nanami and megumi are especially annoyed by this lol and you’re like “if that helps you feel better, i didn’t know we were getting married either, until this morning”

the setting is similar to this btw, but with one huge table for everyone to gather around and be together on your special day 🤍

p.s. all night long satoru wears the most genuine, the softest, heartfelt smile people have ever seen on him. he beams with utter happiness, the kind that makes his eyes wet. and each time he looks at you—they well up even more. but the smile? the smile doesn’t go away, even though his lips tremble ever so slightly 🤍

I saw one of yours reblogs, and I thought to myself: with the exception of ash x “the main girl” ships, others aren’t that famous. Ash x Anabel and Ash x Angie, I remember I thought they were so cute back when I was watching the battle frontier and DP seasons (they are top 4 and 5 in my list nowadays, respectively). I guess my question is: before our beloved negaishipping and best dragon master appeared, did you had a favorite ash ship lily? One with a main girl or another secondary character?

I'll be frank with you

Despite watching the previous sagas before BW, I didn't ship anyone. I did notice that some characters may had crushes on each other, but I didn't care 😭

And then these two idiots changed everything

Nowadays I do like ships such as Ash x Angie/ Anabel/ Gou/ Gary/ May/ Lillie. I also see the appeal of other Ash x main girl ships! But since SatoAi is so darn underrated and overhated, I mostly draw content for them.

Mostly I ship Ash with characters that have a natural and fun dynamic with him. A good match with him would be someone with similar interests, who adores pokemon and battles as much as him, all while staying playful and childish. Iris fits this bill without changing her characterization, which is perfect.

Tbh I have a verrrryyy soft spot for Ash x Angie. The summer camp episodes in DP were super fun and cute 🥹 A top tier ship, imo!

How about you? What was your first ship? I remember you said you didn't care much for SatoAi before journeys. I'm curious about your thoughts!

[moonxpalace]

For @satoaiandsonaze

For being an amazing and supportive friend, who is always there no matter what. I know how much you like SatoAi and Sonaze, so I put the two ships together, as Sonic and Blaze cosplaying Ash and Iris respectively c:

Hope you like it, CJ!
