NegaiShipping Facts: 

NegaiShipping (Japanese: サトアイ SatoAi) is the belief that Ash Ketchum and Iris belong in a romantic relationship. Currently, it is the main pairing of the Best Wishes series, along with WishfulShipping. 

Similarities

They both have one female rival, Bianca and Georgia, respectively.

They have both seen Jirachi (Ash in Pokémon: Jirachi: Wish Maker and Iris in Searching for a Wish!)

As shown in Saving Darmanitan From The Bell!, both Ash and Iris tend to eat a lot, being explicitly said by Cilan.

Both own Pokémon that do not reside within a Poké Ball (Ash's Pikachu and Iris's Axew (if Axew even has one)).

Both have brown eyes.

Both have at times shown an impulsive nature, especially when protecting their Pokémon.

Both have owned Pokémon that have refused to obey them at one point (Ash's Pikachu, Charizard, and Primeape, and Iris's Excadrill and Dragonite).

Ash and Iris are the only main characters in the series to own a Dragon-type Pokémon (Ash's Gible and Iris's Axew) (neither of them have evolved yet). 

As part of their story, both Gible and Axew have trouble executing a certain Dragon-type move at first: Draco Meteor and Dragon Rage respectively.

Also, Gible and Axew are both part of a three-stage evolutionary line that retain the same type throughout their evolution. 

As of BWS02 both Ash and Iris own a Gible, although Iris' has only appeared in the Japanese version so far. 

Ash's Gible and Iris' Gible both have a habit of biting on someone's head. Ash's Gible does it to him and Iris' Gible does it to Axew

Both own Pokémon that have revealed that their primary goal is to reach their final evolutionary stage (Ash's Butterfree and Iris's Axew). 

Both Pokémon were raised from, and expressed this goal in, their first evolutionary stage.

Both own an Electric-type rodent Pokémon (Ash's Pikachu and Iris's Emolga). 

Both Pokémon store electricity in the sacs of their cheeks.

Also, both Pikachu and Emolga have a fondness for a certain food, ketchup and apples, respectively.

Both Pikachu and Emolga know Pokémon that have crushes on them, Buneary and Oshawott, respectively.

Pikachu feels uncomfortable around Buneary and Emolga feels uncomfortable around Oshawott.

Both Pikachu and Emolga have the Static Ability.

Both Pikachu and Emolga temporarily joined Team Rocket, but went back to their trainers.

In A Scare to Remember Pikachu joined Team Rocket after Meowth tricked him into believing he was a part of the team when Pikachu had amnesia. Pikachu regained his memory by the end of the episode and went back to Ash. Emolga joined up with Team Rocket in Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit! because she got mad at Iris for blaming her for hurting Axew when he really got hurt by a Galvantula. Emolga went back to Iris by the end of the episode after Iris apologized to her.

Both Pikachu and Emolga were disobedient at first, but eventually listened to their trainers. 

Pikachu disobeyed Ash due to lack of respect because Ash being a beginning trainer. He began to obey Ash after he saved him from a flock of wild Spearow. 

Emolga disobeyed Iris because she didn't like battling. 

She began to obey Iris in The Club Battle Hearts of Fury: Emolga Verses Sawk. 

Both Snivy and Emolga are female and Scraggy and Excadrill are male.

Both are the only main characters to have battled a Champion.

Ash and Iris' game counterparts are Pokémon Champions Red and Iris.

Pikachu has shocked them both with Thunderbolt. He shocked Iris in Enter Iris and Axew because she was hugging him too tightly and hurting him. He shocked Ash in Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym! because he was angry at him for not choosing to use him in his Gym battle against Elesa.

Both own a Dragon type that have mastered a Move they had trouble with. 

Iris has Axew who struggled with Dragon Rage and Ash has Gible who struggled with Draco Meteor 

Both Axew and Gible were part of running gags due to their trouble to master Dragon Rage and Draco Meteor, respectively. 

Axew always made a sound as if he were sneezing, hence the name "Dragon Sneeze" by Cilan and Ash. 

Gible's faulty Draco Meteor always managed to somehow hit Piplup in the head, thereby knocking him out.

Name origin

Negai is from the Japanese characters 願い (negai) to mean 'wish' (in terms of 'desire,' 'prayer,' or 'request'). It is used as an alternate name over WishShipping, after the title of the Japanese series "Best Wishes."
