RoyalShipping

**RoyalShipping** is the belief that Amethyst and Ash belong in a relationship. The name is derived from the fact that both of them rule the PAL region (which is a principality) as the Princess and Prince of the region respectively. Moreover, in the AV, both of them are the Crown Princess and Crown Prince Of Rota (though Amethyst only received the title because she was married to Ash who is the Crown Prince).

This ship is one of the most popular in the PAL Series, with many of the readers shipping them together. RoyalShipping is unique because of the confirmation of Pakura's love for Ash in the AV, and was implied to have shared some intimacy together. Its popularity began when the first story was published.

Note: Ash's appearance is based on the AV.

## Evidence (Heartsong Symphony)

### Amethyst's hints

#### Arrival in the PAL Region: A Permanent Mishap

* When Ash went in the cave to rescue Pikachu, she tried to warn him of the danger, though she had failed. However, this may have been merely general concern, since she knew of the danger in the cave and did not want anyone to be injured.
* It was implied she went in the cave after him and rescued both him and Pikachu and she restored his face as well, and bringing him to the hospital.
* She willingly tidied up his hair without being requested to.
* It was revealed she had paid for his hospital stay and the medical fees.
* She accompanied him to the Professor's laboratory herself, which may mean she did not want him to get careless and be injured again.
* She admitted Ash was different from the other Trainers in a good way when the Egg responded to Ash.
* She complied to Ash's request when he asked to see an example of a Z-move.
* She told Ash not to worry when Ash asked what happened after she blasted Team Rocket off.

#### At the Drop of a Ralts

* Amethyst willingly shared information with Ash as they walked along the Route, and offered to stop for lunch when Ash remarked he was hungry.
* Amethyst did not ask Ash to help her out while she was preparing lunch, implying she wanted him to rest and relax.
* Amethyst accepted Ash's compliments on her food.
* Amethyst followed Ash in the middle of the night when she realized Ash had left his camp.
* When Ash was hit by Ralts' Psychic, Amethyst yelled out his name in worry, and even ran over to him to ask if he was alright.
* When Team Rocket attacked Ash and Amethyst for Ralts, Amethyst told Ash to get Ralts while she battled Team Rocker herself, knowing how much Ash wanted the Ralts.
* When Ash dives to catch Ralts after Sylveon's Moonblast freed Ralts but sent her flying, Amethyst again yelled his name in worry.

### Ash's hints

#### Arrival in the PAL Region: A Permanent Mishap

* Ash shot her a look when Amethyst called him an idiot, indicating he was unhappy of what she thought of him, implying he valued her opinion of him.
* After Amethyst says she would see where the wind takes her, Ash asks her to travel with him, saying that she had saved him and that it would be nice if she stayed so they could help each other out. This is the second time that Ash has asked a female companion to travel with him.

#### At the Drop of a Ralts

* At the beginning of the episode, Ash remarks that her food was delicious, and it was good.
