Before you say anything, YES I know I'm posting a manga scan in the Anime section but bare with me.

Remember how before the Ranger Deoxys special aired there were some scans of a Manga-adaption of it circulating around?

Well, this looks in the same style, and I'm pretty sure that's Deoxys (I'm not saying every Deoxy related episode gets a manga adaption, it's just coincidence) but considering we're coming to a place in the games related to Deoxys in a few weeks, could this possibly be a Manga adaption of an upcoming Anime episode or special? Or is this just a nice-looking Doujinshi?

Found this on #PM's imageboard btw, with no source.
 
Dawn and Pikachu look like they've had it in that scan.

A pearlshipping manga ey? I guess fans of what has to be the weakest Ash based shipping need some outlet.
 
You should see the movie adaptation manga, there's some PearlShipping moments that aren't seen in the movie. Guess the manga writers are PearlShippers themselves. Not sure if other movie adaptations are the same (anything with May having AdvanceShipping or Misty and PokeShipping).
 
So...it's a doujin? o-o

Nah, If memory serves me right, these are found in CoroCoro Comics in Japan and are official Pocket Monsters. Sometimes they become published graphic novels. These Pocket Monsters comics are usually written by someone other than those working on the anime and the storyline tends to drift differently (For the movie adaptations, ones based on the anime episodes will end up mostly as a new story), hence all the PearlShipping we see. In the site Registeel mentioned look in this part: http://mint.45.kg/satohika/hokan-sp.html . Though its a PearlShipping fan site ,you'll see some scenes similar to the anime but the storyline is different in a way. Hope I was clear!
 
Which ones are meant to be Pearlshippy? The artwork there is very similar to the same scenes in the show, and its just the usual Ash/Dawn friendship and high-fives we're used to seeing.

If you're talking about the pics in the first post, the fact that Dawn appears to be clinging to Ash would be shippy. As for the site, those Japanese PearlShippers regard those scenes as shippy though I feel that they just put some of them there since Ash/Dawn are in the same scene.

BTW: I forgot to mention that the manga based on the tv anime are usually a few pages and is usually the reason the plot is different

Hmmmm... Doesn't look like photoshop. Looks more like a transparency sheet in a book or magazine and whomever made this got the idea of cutting out Dawn and putting her next to Ash to create a PearlShippy pic.
