A quick pick from me this week I'm back everyone!. Its from one of my favorite advanceshipping author Dyruu. It's only two chapters so far but the premise is - what would have happened if Ash asked May to be his girlfriend before he departed for Shinnoh.

Don't worry pearlshippers, I've been promised this is indeed a pearlshipping, except I haven't seen an evidence of such just yet!

I haven't posted an Alexandrianshipping in a long time, so this week it's their turn. A cute little story about Volkner and Jasmine's childhood. Can't give you all much more as it would spoil this little quick read.

The fic is called Where the Lighthouse Meet by Sage of Emerald. It can be found at: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6806783/1/

Synopsis: Ever wonder why Jasmine appears in Sunyshore City in the Sinnoh games? Or, perhaps why she has a loyal Ampharos despite being a Steel-type specialist? Find out in this little Alexandrianshipping one shot. R & R, people!

A real treat this week. I've seen this fic on ffn for a while now but never read it because the synopsis made me think it would be one of those Ash becomes a Hero fic, but it's not. Rather this instead, is one of the best well written advanceshipping I've seen. Without giving way too much, the fic is about Ash and May reuniting after the Shinnoh League and Dawn playing a devious puppet master trying to get the two together. Some of the setting and buildup might put some people off but I suggest reading through it, as it is a very good read. 

The fic is called The Puppeteer's Wishes by LuciferIX. It can be found at: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7513913/1/The_Puppeteers_Wishes
