  • My answer is between Misty and Serena. I chose Misty because, she has always cared for ash throughout the seasons. But i don't think she will get married with ash. But rather with Tracay. So, it left Serana being married with Ash.


    Note:- your question was about who shall marry ash not who will. And i want misty to get married.

  • Pearlshipping is awesome and is my favourite Pokemon shipping.

    Ash and Dawn have such a strong bond with each other, they sung a duet about how close they are and how much they mean to each other (High Touch)

    I have a girlfriend called Bethany, I have been together with her for a few years.
    Ash and Dawn act the same way towards each other, as me and my girlfriend do to each other.
    That is why I believe Satohika / Pearlshipping will become cannon.

    Ash and Dawn will never be togather, there are other girls for Ash to be with like Misty or Lillie.

  • Serena is the perfect choice for marrying Ash, because Ash and Serena have known each other since childhood. And i am hoping the grand final episode of the Pokemon will have Ash and Serena as an married couple on adult and have childrens. Also Ash for being and Pokemon Master and Serena as housewife.

    (sorry for my poor English)

  • Hmmm, hard to choose between IRIS and Lillie, i remember that the others had some hints to have potential love for some other people (like rivals , drew ? Of the competitions where pokemon do dance stuff, i forgot the names)

    Edit:

    Examples: Brock with Misty? (I know that Misty liked ash many times but in many anime they put something similiar and in the end the unexpected couple appear)

    Dawn x Zoe ?

    May x Drew

    IMO I don't think any of them should marry him - I didn't see any romantic synergy between any of them from Ash. True, Serena was blatantly interested in Ash (to the point where she kissed him), but I never saw anything from Ash suggesting that he felt even remotely the same. Of all his companions, the one he seemed most physically close to was Dawn - but then theirs feels more familial than romantic. The same goes for Misty for me — and the rest just seemed like his friends. Ignoring the fact that he's an eternal 10 year old, he didn't seem to have any romantic feelings for any of his female companions.

  • I'm still missing the option for Latias, or at last Bianca. It gives a pretty interesting dynamic because who better an option for a boy whose primary interest and approach to things, let's accept it, is going to be via Pokémon.

    Barring that however I guess I could see Misty or Dawn as reasonable options.

  • There's also Bayleef if we're going the Pokemon route but as I pointed out a long time ago, he's not marrying anyone because he's eternally 10. This is more about who we would want him to marry as opposed to whom he will marry, if any at all. That said, I would want him to marry Serena for personal reasons.

    For me, the idea of marrying a pokemon is like marrying an animal, albeit an intelligent one - it doesn't ring true for me. Otherwise, I can still say I wouldn't want him to marry any of them because the romantic synergy just doesn't exist for me.

    If Ash had any sort of romantic bone in his body I suppose I'd have to say either Dawn or Serena. However, even when he's older I don't believe Ash is the type to settle down and get married so I don't think he'll be going and marrying anyone. Rather he'll focus on his journey with Pikachu and his Pokemon for probably his whole life, honestly.

  • It has to be Serena because she's the one who won the Ashbowl by kissing him. I'm awfully surprised of Dawn, even as a fan of her, is getting more votes than her when she already has someone else to ship with.

  • I know May is shipped sith Drew but I personally feel that May x Ash is the way to go. I think they shared a healthy dynamic between them both with the whole competitive vs Contest system.

  • The only kiss in the entire anime's history was between Serena and Ash at the end of XY&Z. All of the other pokegirls were too focused on their own careers to ever consider Ash as a boyfriend.

  • Why is "he remains an innocent celibate forever" not an option?
    Honestly Serena. Is it because she's the best girl?


    Nope. I honestly like her the least. Ash is probably going to be a terrible husband who just focuses too much on Pokemon, and Serena is the least ambitious girl, so she'd do fine as a stay at home wife/mother. The rest of the girls have too many dreams to settle down with this nerd who's never going to give up his.
