*sigh* Yes, I ship these two hardcore.
The primary reason is because I still believe the theory that Giovanni is Ash's father. It just makes the most sense, even back when I was a kid.
I've never bought the whole "Ash's father is a nice guy who just ditched the family for a Pokemon journey" thing the anime has tried to throw at me. Good guys wouldn't just abandon their families without ever writing or calling.
Plus, it was stated in the Pokemon musical (yes, that was a thing back in my day) that Delia had an affair with Giovanni during her time as a member of Team Rocket. Now, the musical was its own story, but it still kept key things from the anime -- such as Misty's unrequited love for Ash and Brock's obsession with everyone who has boobs.
And Ash's mom was so much cooler in the musical than the anime version. Delia is a dull character in the anime, but in the musical she was fleshed out and had a real backstory. Now, it should be stated that in the musical when Ash finds out about her past with Team Rocket, she claims that she changed once she met his father -- implying that Ash's dad was a different guy. But I think that was her trying to protect him from the truth, because it's *really* obvious who Ash's daddy is in that story.
Critics of this theory often say, "But Giovanni and Ash look nothing alike! They have different hair colors!"
This is silly for several reasons, but two especially. One: Anime kids often have totally different hair colors than their parents. (Chibi-Usa from Sailor Moon, for example.) Two: Genes skip generations sometimes. (For example, my mom's siblings and she all have different hair colors -- black, brown, red, blond.)
Plus, Giovanni has no eyebrows in the anime. For all we know, he could have no hair at all and just be wearing a wig.
Anyhoo... ENJOY!!
