Harley was mentioned in each reference to Drew, but this does not stop anything. In fact, Harley noticed May and Drew together! To put it simply, May and Drew still see each other. That's really all I wanted to say. Not really that much logic needed. How it equates to 'shipping' is another thing but May and Drew's feelings and stories are all covered in AG and BF anyway. And they still frequently saw each other when DP started while in Johto. Ash and Gary is a good parallel actually. You said Ash helped Gary after losing the 8th gym even after being mocked by him countless times; he cares about him that much. May tended to Drew in the Wynaut episode even when Drew can sometimes mocks her; she cares about him that much as well. While this could suggest Ash and May have their own 'Gary', remember that May and Drew's relationship involves red roses. Unlike Ash and Gary, May and Drew aren't limited to each other because of gender. I personally think the roses are just part of Drew's flair. Let's be honest: Drew is fabulous. He seems like the type of guy to hand out roses to his rivals just to say, "I'm so sophisticated and fancy, etc." I know, I know, he only gives them to May, but she's his only true rival. Soledad is more of a mentor, and he tries not to associate with Harley. Of course, they became friends, so the roses now would be useless to goad her. I think he stills gives them to her because it's now a sort of ritual. It's his thing. Maybe he has a crush on her, but this is the only thing that really implies it, and even so it depends on how you look at it. And yeah, May blushes sometimes around Drew, but she is a hormonal girl. If someone like Drew gave me roses, I'd blush a little bit sometimes too. But that doesn't mean she's got a crush or anything. She could, sure, but she could just as easily be embarrassed or caught off guard. (And I just want to say that Ash and Gary aren't separated by gender. I would not be surprised if Ash was gay, for all the attention he gives to girls. XD) I almost peed my pants from reading the last part xD

Hey, he /did/ have quite the smile on his face when Melody kissed him, to be fair lmao. It's not 100% proven she likes Drew or vice versa, but it seems pretty clear to me that the writers had the intention of giving that impression to some extent or another.

What's clear to you isn't the same as what's clear to anyone else.

Still, May and Drew are the friendliest male-female rivals. They are also friends

This is where the differentiating line is. With all of the fleshed out feelings, even if they don't have to fall in love, some say that they most certainly can. Others would say that they don't feel anything special for each other; they're just friends.

I'm not saying it's fact, just clear to me.

Spontenous Combusken? With May looking out over the sunset at Drew and blushing heavily?

Even May's own mother saw what was going on between May and Drew!

Eye witnesses! XD I love Contest, and that episode! I must have seen it about 3 times already... I could quote it word for word.
