Well, You Seem to Be EVERYWHERE I Am!Alrighty, the biggest thing between these two is that they are everywhere together! They even live close to each other. In fact, I've seen a translation at this Eldershipping Site of Holiday at Alpuco where Delia tells Ash that Oaky and her are on vacation together. It always seems that whenever we see Ms. Ketchum in the show, Professor Oak is with her, and vice versa. There's two many places where this has happened. They could just be friends, or maybe there's something more...

Who's Ash's Daddy?This has been a long debate, but the answer is still unclear. However, it's told in the 5th season we'll find out more about him. However, for now, I can rant about what Ithink is the case. You see, Ms. Ketchum and Professor Oak have been friends for a very very very long time. (Remember the pic in the 3rd movie where there was that pic of Ms. Ketchum as a "school girl" and Professor Oak was with her). They could be more. There hasn't been any father-figure in Ash's life, as far as we know, except for Samuel Oak. Maybe since it's incredibly WIERD for Professor Oak to be Ash's dad, he just decided to be his "neighbor." Also, as pointed in Pokemopolis(one of my fav sites ever, and they agree highly with this) Gary once said that his grandfather was a trainer, and wasn't Ash's father a trainer? *gasp*

DeliaOkay, this isn't very important, but it's still sorta a little trinket so to speak. Prof. Oak calls her by her first name, Delia. How many people do that?

Pokemon LivePokemon Live was a play that some peeps put on about, DOUH! Pokemon! Well, it was solely written by the American peeps, so I dun really count it as evidence since the writers of the actual show didn't write it. (It is made in Japan for you idiots out there who didn't know it yet.) Ahem, anypoo, in the show, there's a couple things they say that let's you know there is a "thing" between Ms. Ketchum and Professor Oak. For example, at one point Ash tells Prof. Oak not to keep his mom out too late, and Oaky just stutters. Also, at one point Oaky is very protective of Delia, and tells her he won't let Giovanni hurt her.

The Blockades
There isn't too many of these, but I guess I can think of one

OLD FART!Okay, we have to face it, Professor Oak is an old fart. (Although in the manga he looked rather young and rugged) Remember in "The Rivalry Rival" when Jesse said, "What a young and attractive group, except for..." She's exactly right. I mean, there's nothing wrong with being old, but it's just, Ms. Ketchum is sooo...well, young. They say love knows no age, but please, it's gotta be a little awkward if he's about the age of her dad prolly. Unless her dad was 5 when she was born, but her mom must have been really sick. Unless her mom at the time was 5 too, but would that be humanly possible? Well, I guess she could be like, 10 at the earliest, maybe a couple years earlier, and then she had sex with a 5 year old, but then you REALLY have some family problems. Eh...anyway...

Delia's Side of the Ship

I think she cares for the Oaky, and I certiainly think she likes him in that certain special way.

Would Delia Start the Relationship?

Ya, I think she definetly would. She probably knows that if a young person wants to date an old fart, they usually say yes. Lol, well, seriously, and I really think she likes him. I mean, she's fot no husband, no anyone else that we know of, except for of course her dear Oaky.

Samuel Oak's Side of the Ship

I think Prof. Oak definetly cares for Delia, but there isn't a definite anything pointing to that he cares for her, in that way *wink* But it does seem to be that way

Would Oaky Start the Relationship?

Of course he would! Probably not as likely as Delia, since he'd prolly be too embarassed to tell anyone A MILLION YEARS YOUNGER THAN HIM that he cared for them. I mean, okay, let's say, if you're this old guy, who doesn't have a wife, and not really a gf (unless it's Ms. Ketchum of course) and you have this thing for this young, pretty woman, would you go for it? I mean, you may think you're stupid for it, but still, he would probably let her know some way.

Official Opinions From Us

Haley, coolest person ever without the ego, ^_^;-Alrighty, even though Professor Oak is old, and Delia is young, I still think they make a cute couple, and even though I make fun of Oaky quite a bit, I still think he's pretty cool (for a old guy) ooh! that makes me want to sing!!!!

Jess, who always seems to say something that has nothing to do with anything-No way. I really don't support this. First off, he's an old fart head. He's like, 60-something, and De..umm..Ash's mom is about 30. That should be illegal, or at least frowned upon. And second, Giovanni+Mrs.Ketchum=Ash. Although, I have to admit, Giovanni Ketchum sounds more like a traveling Italian shoe salesman then the leader of such an extensive group of peeps like team rocket.

Dee, who do like her scandals-Prof Oak and Ms. Ketchum! Oooo, scaaandalous! *Gets hit by Jet* Bah, no more Recess for Dee... so anyway, yes, I think there's somethin' goin' on there, but GIOVANNI IS ASH'S FATHER! Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I have something else to say... Professor Oak is such a player for an old Fart, doncha think? I mean, he could be the poster boy for Viagra! Muk, Heracross, Delia, Prof. Ivy... Er, I'll stop before I make someone throw up. ^_^;;;

ST, Who Needs to Get Her Mind IN the Gutter- Personally, I just see friendly neighbors... *sweatdrop* Yeah.... *glares at Dee for rushing her opinion* ^_^; Anyway.... Friendship can blossom... kinda cute... Though, if I were Ash or Gary I'd find it kinda freaky...

Jet, Who Has Issues- I think Professor Oak should be alone his whole life or get a monkey and name it bubble and do stuff with it. And for Mrs. Ketchup...er... ya I think shes a lezzie whorebag.

Favorite Shippy Pics
Alrighty, again, I dun feel like taking a bunch of pics and posting it, so just check out this page with some pics, at this eldershipping site I've Got A Secret.

The Best Shippin' Moment Award!
Okely dokely, now, they aren't in it too much, so I dunno, I guess I chooose...
Holiday at Aolpulco

I chose this one, because of course, Mrs. Ketchum and Oaky were on vacation with each other, and isn't that just sweet? Also, this was fairly early on in the show, and we seem to see them together like this quite a bit afterwards, so this was a bit of a start. Also, Oaky was in a pineapple shirt!!! O_o
That's all I have to say about that peeps. Alrighty, so, um...ya. okay, I dunno how to end this so...PIZZA IS GOOD!
