Lyra: You're number one of the bunch no doubt! Hey Ash, don't you think so too?
Ash: Of course she's number one!
Regardless of others' opinions, DP can be considered a very successful saga with Ash placing Top 4 in the Sinnoh League and Dawn placing 2nd in the Grand Festival. This was the best both Ash and a coordinator has done in a final competition so far, but it's more than just DP that produced quality results.
Ash and Dawn's friendship (at the very least) is arguably the strongest in the entire series excluding the Pokémon creatures. From the mutual duet High Touch to their incredible bond and relationship, it is without a doubt that Ash and Dawn have the greatest quality relationship together. Looking at mutualism and interelations alone shows that Pearlshipping is the greatest quality of the Ash ships. Not by quality feelings, but by the quality of the actual bond and relations between any two.
Given that Pearlshipping has the most quality, Lyra's Wager can now come into play. The reason it is called Lyra's Wager is that, just like Lyra said herself, it is based on the statement that Dawn may in fact be "the number one" for Ash.
If the Pokémon series chooses an Ash ship other Pearlshipping, then any quality the series has, especially with relationships, is lost. This assumes that nothing of higher standard will come in the future. Not even Amourshipping can touch Ash and Dawn's sheer intimacy.
So in other words, all quality is lost if Ash chooses someone other than Dawn, based on the possible options right now of course. But if Pearlshipping is selected, then all quality is gained since it fulfills Ash and Dawn's closest bond of them all and their "As long as we are together" statements.
If you think about it, they may not canonize an Ash ship because they know people and fans will get mad. But they'll have to end eventually so they might as well. In the case that they actually choose, Lyra's Wager urges the staff to choose "the number one" partner for Ash or else. Or else blushing means a lot more to them then a deep, quality relationship that Ash and Dawn have together.
Pearlshipping = Quality
Other Ash shipping = All is quality is lost in the series, poor choice.
In the end, it's all up to the staff to make the right decision.
