CALLING ALL PEARLSHIPPERS! TESTIMONIES NEEDED!
To add to the content of the still-developing Pearlshipping DataCore, we are looking for testimonies to publish on it. These testimonies are meant to convince potential Pearlshippers that this ship is the way to go. If you are interested in contributing to the latest addition to our site, please send all testimonies to either IceArceus or me via Private Messaging system on Vault, or on our Serebii forums accounts, or IceArceus on fanfiction.net or me on DeviantART. Remember to answer these questions in the text:
-Were you always a Pearlshipper? -If not, what made you change your mind? -What were your first impressions of Pearshipping? -Why are you a Pearlshipper? -How long have you been a Pearlshipper? -What would you advise potential Pearlshippers?
OPTIONAL: Add your favourite official Pearlshipping image, or alternatively add fan art. (if the fan art is not yours, it is vital that you identify the artist so IceArceus can credit the artist accordingly). The image you put will be on the same page as your testimony if it is chosen. It must be Pearlshipping/Pokémon related.
If your testimony is chosen to go on the site, an email will be sent to you to confirm its publicity. Please note we will spellcheck your work if need be. We will read ALL sent testimonies & will add as many as we can. We are asking for testimonies with over 700 characters; there is no maximum to how large your work is, neither is there a set amount to how many testimonies we will add; if it meets our requirements & standards, we will add it. No personal details are sent to third parties. It is essential that you put your Serebii Forums or Fanfiction.Net (or any other fansite, including Vault) username in the subject box since we will not put your real name for safety reasons. If no username is stated, your testimony will be marked as anonymous.
Good luck, & goodbye!

1)Were you always a Pearl-shipper?No, not really. I was more of a Cavalier-shipper at first. It really intrigued me to know more about Dawn and Gary so I started writing Fan.fictions that had the story in which there was a slight love-triangle between AshxDawnxGary. Dawn and Gary, as I later found out, were never to be together in the first place. They deserve to be best-friends or better yet, siblings with each other but the concept of them being together cuddling or worse, kissing, is just not right. I won't argue about how Pearl is better than Cavalier, I would just state this much: "A perverted bad-ass scientist and an exceedingly innocent, brave yet skillful coordinator with a quirky water type starter were never meant to be in the first place."
However, Ash and Dawn were different. They had this...uncomprehendable spark that was just waiting to be ignited within them.
2)If not, what made you change your mind?
I read many fan.fictions in my life and now, after all the reading and summarizing, what I have learnt from them is quite simple: "The work of an author and fan depend on the type of character you work with."
I have come to many conclusions and now comes my final verdict, authors have this way with writing Ash and Dawn together that I can't describe properly;Nevertheless, I shall try my best to convey my message to you people. They i.e the authors, describe them with such art that it is breath-taking. I get speech-less and excited after every nerve-wrecking chapter of every pearl-shipping based fan.fiction, regardless of their efficiency with Pokémon. My blood races faster and I get happy - pleased to be more precise - with not only myself but my surroundings as well. It is quite difficult for a person to juice out such feelings from only simple pages with words on them, but as a reader, as a person who began to read at the age of three and developed this habit of analyzing and criticizing every fine work of art, it was child's play. I saw how the writers expressed perfection through the pairing of Ash and Dawn and conveyed the message of 'This is who we are' through these two was beautiful. Pearl-shipping was, at first, only one sphere of Pokémon that I came to admire immensely about but as time raced by, I developed a liking to it that reached such a height, that I was unsure of my return to the ground afterwards. Day's passed by and shortly, I began to watch Pokémon - or DP series to be precise - then grew into a habit of going through each episode a million times. I had become addicted to watching Ash and Dawn interact with each other without even knowing it. It felt like fate was playing her hand when she made me go through the fan-art each day and lastly, the B&W series(which were viewed only because Dawn aired in it). 3)What were your first impressions of Pearl-shipping?At first, I was quite against the concept of Ash and Dawn being together mostly due to my theory on how Gary and Dawn would make a far greater couple but boy was I wrong. Ash and Dawn seemed more like best or even childhood friends to me at first. I was unsure of what to do with them so chose to stay steadfast with supporting Cavalier. Not long after reading another fan.fiction( Washed up Popstar's to be precise) I became a hardcore pearl-shipper and revised all the hints by heart. 4) Why are you a Pearlshipper?After I realized the certainty of pearl, I began to love it more than Pokémon itself. My obsession grew greater and crazier each minute and I spent many sleepless nights trying to get ideas for fan.fictions and ways to get Ash and Dawn together. I am now far too deeply engaged in this never ending fascination called 'Pearl-shipping'. It has been quite a difficult task to keep my addiction tamed and well luckily I can get sleep. My passion to know more about their i.e Ash and Dawn's relationship has sparked more than ever before. Pearl-shipping can come together in way's I can't describe, if I can manage to explain a simple summary then I might take up to eternity to do so. Pearlshipping...I am just speechless, I have no words to describe my love for it and to why I love it. It just clicked! 5) How long have you been a Pearlshipper? It has been four long year's since I have started liking pearl-shipping. Now, nothing can tear me apart from it, not even all the money in the world. I have followed this and will keep on doing so till I die.
6) What would you advise potential Pearlshippers?I would like to conclude my testimony in very simple words, this message is for all those potential pearl-shipper's out there who stay confused and torn between two ships: "Chose very wisely - even for the smallest of matters - for your choice may effect your life in ways you can't imagine..."Pearl-shipping has been successful for many a year and will be successful in the distant future as well. Our community is better than any other and will soon reach even greater heights. Join the pearl-shippers and you won't only join Fan's or artists, you'll join your long lost passionate family...A family that is just waiting for you to grasp it's hand and help you grow with them in a supportive, well organized, lovely and peaceful environment. And so I end my testimony..."I have followed my passion, have you?"
