Well I think what the Contestshippers are hoping for is either a mentioning of Drew or even Drew comes with her to Sinnoh. The later would be devastating to us, and it is partly because of that they would be loving that.

^ Well, not necessarily, it is only devastating IF May returns Drew's feelings; if she does NOT, then we are safe.

Not technically cannon. But in all seriousness, a mention of Drew is like trying to find a needel in a ocean. Even when May was leaving for Jhoto (Previously considered the largest Contestshipping hint) it was Ash who mentioned him, not May. May just dosn't mention the guy at all when he's not there. And in a logical sense, the mention of him is close to impossible. Drew to May is like Gary to Ash. May is the Former co-star, and second co-star after Misty. Gary, even tough he had a Major part to play in Ash's life, and had a strong connexion to Proffesor Oak, who gave Ash Pikachu, and Ash sees after each region. He only got a Very small handful of mentions at all. Now Drews mention would be one step forward, two steps back for the writers. Something the're avoiding especially after Jhoto. The only real mention I feel that Drews had was when Nandos thingy evolved into a Roselia, when Ash was surprised... and looked slightly angry to me.

Okay, lets see if I can catch up correctly: PaulxMay: I thought it was called Farawayshipping, but I think I dreamt that. Anyways this is total crack... Outcomes: I think outcome 2, 3, and 1.5 have the best chances and what I am hoping for. I would actually like outcome 3 for some time, I love debating with my friend over this subject and winning because we have more hints. This also leads to better disscussion. And as most of us have said in the DP:076 thread, pearlshipping would be our scond choice. Contestshipping: I noticed this was in the contestshipping thread aswell...believe it or not, I actually used to love contestshipping (and like most of the younger girl audiences at that time, I liked him. Now I don't, he gives off a bit of a bi vibe to me...not that theres anything wrong with that). Ima glad I got a working computer to turn my opinion to advanceshipping. Its cliche'd and really stupid. And kinda...serious? I hate serious cannon.>< Roselia: That happened? Well then...TO YOUTUBE!

Not technically cannon. Well I consider it cannon. But it was one sided and is apparently gone now. I mean she was talking about marrying him and was overly jealous about Melody. But then again I guess this really isn't the place to discus this. But in all seriousness, a mention of Drew is like trying to find a needel in a ocean. Even when May was leaving for Jhoto (Previously considered the largest Contestshipping hint) it was Ash who mentioned him, not May. May just dosn't mention the guy at all when he's not there. And in a logical sense, the mention of him is close to impossible. Drew to May is like Gary to Ash. May is the Former co-star, and second co-star after Misty. Gary, even tough he had a Major part to play in Ash's life, and had a strong connexion to Proffesor Oak, who gave Ash Pikachu, and Ash sees after each region.

The only real mention I feel that Drews had was when Nandos thingy evolved into a Roselia, when Ash was surprised... and looked slightly angry to me. True, Drew is never really mentioned when hes not around. Th Budew evolution is the closest hes gotten in D/P. And even that you wouldn't know unless you watched previous episodes. But the fact remains that the Contestshippers are still going to be waiting for the name Shuu to be heard in a few weeks. If he is actually mentioned I think that it will only be in passing if May lists off her rivals. But its still better if hes not seen or heard, that way it'll be a stagnant point for the Contestshippers.

And it might bump us up with a cutesy little hint as a bonus. ;D With all seriousness, I really hope the contestshippers migth've matured so we won't get flamed or something by them.;P Only time will tell.

Trust me, that will not happen. If Bulbagarden is any indicator, then get ready for war, because they are gonna hit us with whatever they've got.

Well we're the only ones that poses a legitimate threat to them, so they can focus all of their efforts on us. At least they aren't as bad as some of the Pokeshippers (in general).

In case anyone hasn't noticed, excepting Lucifer, since you've reviewed it already, cascade88's started a new fic based off May's return. I thought it was a bit ironic, seeing how we've been discussing it on here for the last couple days, and then one of my fave AdvanceShipping authors tackles the topic head-on. So check it out! www.fanfiction.net/s/4165058/1/crushcrushcrush

Ya I'm usually pretty quick with reading the new ones. But it pretty good so far. Its surprising at how some of the other authors on ff net are just realizing May's return at this point. Not just cascade but ShadowKing also made an announcement in one of his chapters. At least the info is spreading.

-coughIputitonthetopofmyprofilecough-;D I'll read that as soon as I finish typing this... Wasn't there a shipping war before in the pokemon fandom? I know it involved pokeshippers, but I don't know the second shipping. But still, I know some contestshippers on a naruto forum I go on. They're really nice and I don't think they'd do anything flame-wise. I also know some contestshippers who I get along with really well on FF.net (I even read some of their contestshipping stories -shot-), so I hope they don't go on a flaming frenzy if anything turns for the worst for them. I know that they're more level-headed on things than the other contestshippers and I don't want them to turn into the insane, uncontrolable contestshippers.TT.TT And now off to read the fic!

What would cybercubed (scott85) say about something like this?

I went onto bulbapedia and looked at the news and when I saw: 'Haruka returns in DP076', I jumped to my FF.net account and alerted people I knew. I've been looking on SPF and I havent seen what he's said yet, I'll go check later.=P

Every ship's got a mixture of users in it. The mature ones, and the crazzzzzy ones.
Usually when a ship is going down the passengers start to go mental, and either find the lifeboats, or fall with the ship.
That and as expected Advanceshipping popularity/activity, as once more spiked, even tough it is slightly.
p.s. one of my one-shots is also based on what happens in said episode, 'assassin.'
