Negaishipping: "Speak Now"

art: @moonxpalace 💗

All of Iris' friends know she's in love with Ash. She's straightforward with many things, not with this, though. So when she sudenly gets an invitation for Ash's wedding, they all ask her "are you gonna speak now?".

PART 1

Even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Iris still loved Ash romantically- that was probably the only thing she'd shut up about for the rest of her life. Or so she thought.

One day, she received a letter from him. This wasn't unusual, since they wrote to each other all the time. What was unusual, was the content of said letter.  "Ash and ... would be delighted if Iris joined them to celebrate their marriage at..." That was enough for her to stop reading. She started laughing, because that had to be a joke, right?

 Of course, everyone else received invitations as well. The Striaton brothers, Bianca, Trip, Stephan, Luke, Burgundy, Georgia... They were all worried for Iris, even Georgia. They tried to call her but she wouldn't answer the phone, she wouldn't open the door, she didn't want to talk to anyone.

The pokémon were worried for their trainer too. Excadrill had had enough, so in one of those unsuccessful visits, he opened the door himself.

 "Hey, are you gonna speak now?" Georgia asked.

"I'll play guitar", Bianca added.

PART 2

The Unova group had travelled to Kanto for the wedding day... except for Iris. She had stayed at home with Drayden, training.

Before the event started, they all went to greet and congratulate the groom, who looked disappointed... when he didn't see "his best friend" there. And everyone had the same question on mind, but nobody wanted to ask. "Why her? Why not Iris?".

 "I didn't even know you and ... were a couple" Cilan quickly said. He was immensely proud of his friend, however, this all had a bitter taste.

"Mhm, yeah..." Ash brushed it off like he didn't care.

"You do realize you're getting married, right?".

"Yeah!", he laughed, "I'm just so nervous!".

Meanwhile, in Opelucid City, Iris started to regret her decision. Was she being mean or selfish? Whether she loved Ash romantically or not, this was still her friend and it was such an important day for him.

PART 3

... Iris arrived just in time, all thanks to Dragonite! She sneaked in and saw her friends, Ash's friends, and the bride. She hid in the curtains. Now what? She felt embarrassed and didn't really want to be seen.

We are gathered here today, to join together Ash Ketchum and ... in holy matrimony...

A tear rolled down Iris' face. She was there, at the wedding of the person she loved- not even as a proper guest, just spying.

What if the bride was her? Everything would be better. This was her last chance...

These two persons present come now to be joined. Therefore, if anyone can show just cause why they may not be lawfully joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.

"I object!". The girl with long, wild hair covered her mouth immediatly. She realized that what she just had done was bad, but she couldn't stop now. "I object because I love you, Ash! Don't say yes!".

The room was in complete silence. People looked at Iris, horrified, but she was only looking at Ash.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry everyone that you have to see this", she grabbed her purple dress tightly, "but please, please don't say yes".

A few people though, were trying to hold back their happy giggles, of course. Bianca, Georgia, Burgundy, even Cilan...

Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulder and placed himself on Iris'. "Pika", he said nodding his head, as an "I agree".

"Thanks, Pikachu, it was nice seeing you. I guess I need to go now", she whispered before running away from the place.

Everyone was shocked. The bride glanced at Ash with disgust, like asking him "who was she?". He couldn't respond, all he could do was look her in the eyes and say "sorry" with them.

He quickly winked at Pikachu, who was still near the entrance after Iris had left; what that wink meant was "electrocute everyone". And in the confusion and shock, he ran off, leaving a very messy scene behind.

Outside the church, Ash ran and ran, trying to find the girl who interrupted his wedding. "Iris? Iris! I need to talk! I feel the same way!".

Still in high heels and a dress, she jumped off a tree. "Yes?".

"I didn't say yes", he whispered, smiling, getting another smile from her in return. He grabbed her hand, "it's always been you".

Iris wasn't the kind of girl to rudely barge in on a white veil ocassion. However, why would the boy he loved be in that kind of situation in the first place?

GUYS AAAAAAAAA, I think everyone knows that Speak Now is my favourite TS album and the re-recording is the best thing that's ever been mine !!! So I tried to write a short Negaishipping fanfic, imagining them in this kind of situation. I am so nervous jskdjkdj, it's been a long time since I wrote fanfics or stories, so sorry if it's bad. Btw I refer to the bride as "..." LMAO because I didn't know who could it be!! I was thinking of Serena but idk 😭 imagine if her fans see this and they all come at me aaaaa anyway bye I hope you liked it jskdj BYE

[roshenblogs]

Something fishy

I found it funny how some people called XY Ash stale and boring because he has lack of personality despite being competent.

That's similar to how some people called BW Ash a dumb and idiot.

Is it karma huh?

NEGAISHIPPING BRO 🌸

man i love this ship, so i couldn’t help but draw some fanart! @ my negaishipping mutuals which i have a lot of for some reason, here!

[dkniade]

Some Unova ghost-type scribbles I did not long ago

[skittycat-autism]

hehe

[one-half-guy]

Hey guys, I was thinking here and gosh, the Pokémon Anime really looked at some strong Pokémon and said "have this poorly build moveset" didn't it?

I mean, we all know they can be pretty sloppy with the moves' effects and what Pokémon should be capable to learn them and such... But then sometimes they would be careful to select the moveset of an important Pokémon just so they could deliberately give a really bad moveset to them AKKAKAKKAKAK

Doubts? Come with me and remember five strong Pokémon with really bad movesets listed in the rant below:

5. Ash's Charizard's Unova Return moveset

Flamethrower, Slash, Wing Attack & Dragon Tail.

Starting with one that was for a long time the strongest Pokémon ever owned by our favorite 10 years old kid, Charizard. Who didn't get hyped when heard he was returning to the anime in Unova? Who didn't jump on their chairs watching his battle against Iris' Dragonite? I know, me too...

In fact that's not really a bad moveset at all, Flamethrower is the most iconic Fire-Type move for a reason and has always been one move Ash's Charizard always kept, Wing Attack brings a STAB to his second type, what is always welcome, Slash has a high critical-ratio and Dragon Tail brings a good response to the, by the time sovereign, Dragon-Type

But then... C'mon it's Gen V!! Wing Attack is an early route bird move, why is it here when he could have Air Slash? Why not give him Shadow Claw, bringing the same effect of Slash but with Ghost-Type, bringing two advantages to the fire lizard's set? Slash was not super effect against any type after all. Why not give either Dragon Pulse or Dragon Claw, that were stronger Dragon Tail and had no secondary effect to the anime ignore?

And that's just basing on this moveset, but our Charizard have already counted with more powerful moves even before go to train in the Charicific Valley, like Submission, that would deal well with the Rock-Types, and after training with the Charizards from the Charicific Valley he always came back with stronger moves, like Steel Wing, other that was a perfect counter to his main weakness: the Rock-Type, or even the Overheat, one of the strongest Fire-Type moves he can learn and that he used against an all mighty Articuno. I would even say Dragon Breath was a good call to keep, same base power as Dragon Tail but with a side effect not always ignored by the anime... Why not bring any of these moves back or bring some of the strongest like Solar Beam and Iron Tail? It because I don't want start a rant about why he deserved Blast Burn as a treat since Pignite got Fire Pledge.

Anyways, Ash's Charizard surely deserved a better moveset to his return in Unova.

4. Ash's Greninja's final moveset

Water Shuriken, Double Team, Aerial Ace & Cut

I podered a lot about who between Greninja and Charizard got the worst moveset, but I think now is clear that Greninja got the worst between these two.

Double Team is an OK move, in the games it can become really dangerous if the opponent manage to successfully use it more than twice and the anime does extract its nature well and Aerial Ace is undoubtedly the best choice of this set: it hits super effective in Grass-, Fighting- and Bug- Types, three weaknesses covered by a single move (Learn, Charizard😤).

But then... Water Shuriken have as advantage the fact it is a multi-strike move and as disadvantage the fact it is a multi-strike move 🙃 generally are 2 to 3 weak hits that barely deals some decent damage, but with some luck you can get up to 5 hits, what makes a considerable damage plus, each one have its own chance to be a critical hit, one more advantage is the priority of the move (although in the anime it is fairly ignored '3') and one advantage very specific to Ash's Greninja is that this move specifically receives a singular boost from the Ash-Greninja transformation... All of this to say: not that good, but since it's Ash's Greninja and the AniPoke's case, good in this specific case...

And then comes Cut... Cut... CUT!!! The weak HM move, the main reason why we dedicate a separated Pokémon to learn the HM moves because of how much weak this move is, such a bad move that when they distributed Ash's Greninja to the games they made the on point choice to switch for Night Slash: far more powerful AND a STAB, what makes me wonder why didn't they ever made him learn in the anime.

The worst part of this moveset is that it's kept ever since Greninja evolves and is never changed, not even when some episodes were perfect to this, such like the episode pre-rematch vs Wufric, the exchange of Cut by Night Slash would be just a perfect match to Ash and Greninja mastering the Ash-Greninja form... WE WERE ROBBED!!! THERE'S NO REASON TO NOT GIVE HIM A BETTER MOVE!!!

Want Greninja's moves to resemble ninja weapons? Make the Night Slash a katana! Wants him to continue to make a kunai because it's ninjier? Make it be a purplish~blackish kunai! Easy like that! Night Slash would be the perfect evolution to Cut AND the Anime never limited itself to the 'HM moves can't be forgotten' rule before, and surely didn't stop it there 😤

Sorry Greninja, but Cut I can't forgive...

3. Sawyer's Sceptile's final moveset

Frenzy Plant, Leaf Storm, Leaf Blade & Dragon Claw

Well, the worst part is that each of these moves are great individually, but the fact this moveset combos Leaf Storm, move that will lower the Special Attack Stat after every use, thus weakening itself, and Frenzy Plant, move categorized as Special Attack that makes the Pokémon vunerable after its usage, makes it fall really down. GOSH, Sawyer was hyped as an observer and great strategist, WHAT HECK WAS HE THINKING WHEN PUT THESE TWO MOVES TOGETHER???!!!

Why did he think it was a good idea to put both moves together??? If it wasn't the anime, after a time the Frenzy Plant would be dealing damage of a Leafage but still forcing a recharge turn *facepalms*

Leaf Blade and Dragon Claw being together are the best choice however as they are two strong STABs + they're physical, what means repeated usage of Leaf Storm is not weakening them. But still, three STABs of the same type and one of the secondary (as Mega Evolution only) is not that genius thing you'd expect of somebody who successfully used a Slaking in the league.

Really, a Thunder Punch to deal with the Flying-Types or Brick Break or Focus Blast to deal with the Ice-Types or even Iron Tail to deal with Ice- and Fairy-Types would be far a wiser choice (Also Mega Sceptile's quirk of launching its tail would bring a really interesting way to use this last suggested move btw)... Take your bronze medal Sceptile.

2. Cynthia's Garchomp's Masters Tournament moveset

Draco Meteor, Scale Shot, Dragon Claw & Stealth Rock

Then you look to the other Pokémon Cynthia brought to the Masters Tournament and realize they all got better movesets 👁️👄👁️

There's no way this choice was not thinking in nerf Garchomp because GOSH, three STABs of one single out of the TWO Types this pokémon have + Stealth Fucking Rock of all moves... WHY?!?! DIDN'T THEY THINK WE TRUSTED ASH'S SKILLS ENOUGH?!?! (maybe y'all didn't, but that's not excuse!! THEY WERE GOING TO PROVE YOU WRONG ANYWAY!!!)

The only well thought on this is that Draco Meteor, move that reduces Special Attack, was along just physical moves... But then all Dragon-Type moves, Cynthia's lucky Ash didn't bring Mr. Mime to this tournament... But she's Cynthia, she SHOULDN'T have to count on luck, SHE NEVER NEEDED THAT BEFORE!! SHE ALWAYS HAD MOVES TO COVER!!

Her Garchomp's very first moveset was already far more covered than that with Dig, Dragon Rush, Giga Impact and Brick Break, one of Games' Cynthia's Garchomp moveset is basically the same but with Earthquake... Why not bring these moves??! Why wasn't the Sinnoh Champion's Ace ever allowed to have any Ground-Type STAB afterwards?? Why wasn't one of the most OP Pokémon known by the Pokémon Fans allowed to be OP?? Where are the cover moves?

The worst is that the last move in this set is Stealth Rock... WHO THE HECK USES GARCHOMP AS A HAZARD SETTER???

Garchomp is an offensive Pokémon, an attacker, the right way to use one is teach them the four moves that are the best STABs and covers in your vision and press A to obliterate your enemies! That's what I do, that's what many players do, that's what Games' Cynthia does, THAT'S EVEN WHAT DEBUT CYNTHIA DID 😤😤😤 GARCHOMP'S NOT A HAZARD SETTER. THEY DON'T MATCH IN ANY ANGLE WITH STEALTH FUCKING ROCK!!

If you want any status move, you add a Sandstorm or a Swords Dance, they will match a LOT more with your Garchomp, not kidding, Stealth Rock was used in the worst way AND time possibly.

Funnily enough the choice to teach Scale Shot was probably a way of the anime to portray Cynthia as updated and aware towards the new moves BUT THEY COULD'VE BROUGHT STOMPING TANTRUM OR SCORCHING SAND THAT WOULD BE MORE CONVINCING AS IT RECEIVES STAB FROM GARCHOMP'S SECONDARY TYPE!! 😤😤

So sad considering how diversified are the moves Garchomp can learn... This moveset deserved gold medal in being the worst... But unfortunately they made one worse 🫥

1. Stephan's Zebstrika's Unova League moveset

Double Edge, Stomp, Facade & Giga Impact

There's no words to define how shitty this moveset is, if Sawyer's Sceptile and Cynthia's Garchomp at least rely on STABs, Stephan's Zebstrika DOESN'T EVEN COUNT ON IT!!!

Individually they are all good moves: Stomp is fairly strong and can cause the opponent to flinch, Facade is also fairly strong and causes massive damage under negative status, and Double Edge & Giga Impact both cause massive damage anyway despite their respective backlashes.

All Normal-Type moves though, so he doesn't receive STAB in any of these, he also doesn't have the Scrappy ability to be able to stand against Ghost-Types, so a single Litwick could obliterate him, he can't land super effective hits, don't count on it, he can't cause any status, he can't recover health, he can't raise his speed since he forgot Flame Charge, this moveset is so genius that a Litwick would have no problem sweeping the floor with this poor zebra, someone save this pokémon 😤

Moral of the story: Just find a Grass-Type if you need to deal with your rival's Water/Ground-Type, the way you'll nerf your Electric-Type is shameful. Who's gonna give his plastic gold medal?

[109memelord]

My oc head cannons with the Unova gym leaders

We are going to do it in reverse this time

But we won’t include marlon Roxie and cheren sorry about that.

Like iris she has a toxic relationship with drayden because like her she also went to the oplucid academy and didn’t understand the topics of the lessons about dragon type Pokémon.

Unlike iris she didn’t climb the oplucid tower since she has a severe case of acrophobia she decided to escape instead leaving the students upset and the teachers angry so Laura had to file a restraining order against the academy and she never went there again 0/10.

okay now Rebecca and iris relationship unlike ash they always target him by calling him a little kid to Rebecca he is right and should listen to her more often since he forgot to bring three Pokémon to his gym battle and taught him about Pokémon genders and appearances of both male and female Pokémon.

But when iris says it no offence but he calls her out for calling him a kid even though they are the same age this often leads to arguments with each other.

Also iris is also scared of her Pokémon why because fairy type Pokémon like ice types are super effective against dragon type Pokémon 6/10.

okay Rebecca like iris likes Brycen Pokémon team of ice type Pokémon but not the temperature of the gym since she prefers it to be warm instead of freezing cold so when she watched ash have his gym battle she wore 1000 layers of clothing on herself even his friends found it strange 5/10.

Rebecca is okay with Skyla strategy being different but not her ego and not go too hard on her challengers although Skyla likes the idea ash and Cilan on the other hand doesn’t and ask her to do normal gym battles instead causing Rebecca to leave the conversation that they had with miles her grandfather being the reclusive person she is decides to go to Skyla herself and asks her to check her team out.

Skyla does her usual air battle and said that her Pokémon win against her team and gives her the gym badge even though she is not a Pokémon trainer anymore.

Rebecca later gives it to ash to let Skyla do her own thing 8/10.

I am not sure who is worse when they leave their staff to work at the gym Rebecca or clay since they both do work related stuff in their regions but I would say Rebecca is worse anyway these two when they were trainers were fossil rivals like some other gym leaders from a different region Rebecca would end up finding the most but on their rematch clay would end up finding the most and kept going until clay got the title the king of the mines and she got second in command clay had excadrill and Rebecca had hattrem 8/10.

When it comes to seeing Elesa fashion show Rebecca was the first person to see it but didn’t participate in the Pokémon musical but did join the nimbasa tournament even though it was her first time but when ash saw her closed gym it reminded him of Rebecca when she closed her gym but helped him out with the gym battle 6/10.

Oh boy where do I begin with these two gym leaders they both have forests before reaching their gyms that are like mazes they both love doing art in their free time although Rebecca preferred to do it in private and not in public.

So I am going to use his Japanese name since I find it easier

So Rebecca and Arti are both artist rivals having drawing competition all the time and Rebecca gets uncomfortable when he talks about his bug type Pokémon and tries to change the subject.

But when they had a Pokémon battle Rebecca Pokémon team got scared of his second Pokémon since it was a poison type she told her Pokémon to ignore the type advantage and go for neutral hits instead causing her to win 7/10.

Rebecca and Lenora these two are science rivals although Rebecca refused to battle at first the moment she saw the Pokémon lillipup Rebecca decided to battle anyway but when it evolved into herdier she refused to battle her again but for real this time 6/10.

This one is hard absolutely hard when Rebecca is by herself surrounded by the three gym leaders asking to battle she told them that it would be unfair to fight them herself because she would have the upper hand and decided to summon her own two siblings Laura and Ralph to even it out Cilan liked the idea of it the others not so much since they would pretty much take on the gym leader god themselves went with it because their brother wanted to.

Rebecca being Rebecca as usual decided to pair the ones depending on their gym leader strength and weaknesses which Cilan also agreed with.

So Rebecca paired her sister Laura up against Chili since they both have the same strength when it comes to Pokémon battles.

When Rebecca saw ash Pikachu lose she knew Ralph wouldn’t be up against such a powerful Pokémon decided for him to battle Cilan since they both have the same strength and knowledge but different battle style.

So that left Rebecca to battle Cress the strongest of the three gym leaders and he found out that she is really impressive on choosing what gym leader the trainer should go up against according to their level even ash thought it was a smart choice aswell and like always the gym battle started.

It was Pansear vs liepard even though Cilan was scared of it managed To win against it giving Laura the win.

Panpour vs Hatterene this one took a long time due to both of them having great durability Rebecca won by a landslide of her Pokémon health remaining.

All of them were shocked at her Pokémon power and strength.

At last it was glaceon vs Pansage and like the others managed to win the battle although they didn’t get a gym badge they got their permission to stay with them if they wanted to 10/10.

[au-wannabe-the-very-best]

saw yur post about cilan having a crush on akari, another route is chili or cress having a crush on akari and cilan being convinced she's his future sister in law

Lmao that's super funny but I mean Akari and Cilan are both a little young to be thinking that long into the future. Rather than sister in law Cilan would be like "That's my brother's future girlfriend maybe so I HAVE to show her our baby photos in advance. I have to it's my brotherly duty."

Cilan would have SUCH a hard time keeping quiet about Akari being Ingo and Emmet's kid though. Like he wants to gush so hard about every detail of his interaction with Ingo and Emmet but he fights to keep that specific tidbit to himself because the "meet the parents" reveal is gonna be soooo funny. He is gonna be there for it, with a lawn chair and some snacks to watch that shitshow go down.

[weeb-polls-with-pip]

When ur laying awake in the middle of the night, feeling empty and restless:

[negaiishipping]

bw icons with random Avril Lavigne songs because, yes

[vulturevanity]

I feel like SV girlies haven't seriously considered "codependent mutually obsessive JuliNemo" yet and that's a shame, really. I've seen a lot of wholesome ChampionRank (really cute but a rehash of every wholesome yuri I've ever seen, not much original content here and that's okay) and one-sided obsessive yandere!Nemona ChampionRank (REALLY do not like the villainization of Nemona's neurodivergence but eh, you can do whatever you want forever) but not as much "these two get on like a house on fire. and boy, it's dry season" ChampionRank.

Where is "battle-hungry socially starved trainwrecks who have no one but each other" JuliNemo. Where is "oh god these two exacerbate each others issues into the stratosphere and this can only end in disaster but I can't look away" JuliNemo. Where is "bringing out the worst in each other and scaring the hoes" JuliNemo. Where is "you two are perfect for each other. Never change, just never involve anyone else in any of this" JuliNemo. There's so much potential here. Toxic codependent yuri save me
