Where have I been?
Jeez. You know life sucks when you're up at 2AM on a Friday night/Saturday morning doing homework. I love procrastination.
Look at all this discussion!!

My train of thought just came up with something.
Does anyone else think it would be cute if it was Dawn who brought Gary and Ash together? I mean, I won't lie; right before I realized I was into Palletshipping, I pondered about Cavaliershipping for a while. And that left me with this scenario. Forgive me, I'm about to ramble!
Dawn confesses her feelings to Gary, but he lets her down easy, saying that he thinks he may have feelings for someone else. But, he's grateful for her honesty, so he decides to be honest with her in return, and says that he likes Ash. Dawn urges Gary to tell him, but Gary says he's worried Ash isn't ready to hear that sort of thing coming from him. Dawn thinks for a bit, and then says that she could find out for him. She then explains her idea; she and Gary will pretend to Ash and Brock that they've decided to start writing letters back and forth, getting to know each other better in order to possibly develop a relationship. Dawn will ask Ash his opinions about Gary, and she'll secretly be writing them down in her letters so that Gary knows exactly what Ash thinks of him. She'll also be carefully monitoring Ash's behavior whenever she mentions Gary. And of course, one thing leads to another, the plan is a success, and happy Palletshippers are dancing in the streets.
I dunno, I just really like the idea of Dawn turning out to be a yaoi fangirl only too happy to play matchmaker. ^_^
Dawn? Play matchmaker? Hmmm.... That quite an interesting idea.
But there might be some problems with that. Dawn really likes Gary
and she really likes Ash, so she might not be so quick to play matchmaker for them.
I think she would try to have either Ash or Gary for herself first (let's just say Gary).
There would be a confession scene where she just pours herself out to him, stating how hot he is and how it was love at first sight for her. I imagine she would then burst out in tears and they would hug each other.
Then comes the rejection, mores tears, and more hugs.
I don't think Gary would confess in front of Dawn though; I keep on getting the feeling that he think Dawn is absolutely wacko.
Eventually, Dawn's going to get used to it and just let Gary go; she knows he likes someone else. Then she walks in on him at night, having a wet dream about Ash.... and it goes from there. xDDD

Hmm.... rain theme....
How romantic! xDDD
Reminds me of Korean dramas.
So here's how I picture it:
Ash just lost a MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR battle to Paul. He tried so hard to prove to Paul that he's a great trainer, but he still lost in the end.
So now Ash is all depressed, and he runs off into the forest.
Lucky him! It starts pouring and he gets all wet.
He takes off his hat and starts crying in the rain, water mixing with tears, dripping down his face.
So who better to show up than Gary??! xDD
He walks up behind Ash, but Ash is completely oblivious.
Gary puts his umbrella over Ash, pats him on the back, and starts to say "Ashy-boy" when he notices Ash is crying.
Ash raises his head and stared at Gary, the last person he expected to see. They share a loooong long stare.
Gary breaks it, insisting they go find a cave and camp out there for the night.
They find one and start a fire in it and have dinner.
They chat about past times, and update each other on their lives. Gary eventually lifts Ash out of depression and Ash falls asleep in Gary's lap.
In the morning, Gary sneaks in a quick kiss on the cheek and leaves before Ash wakes up.
I really like how you picked rain, too. It really does symbolize their relationship.
From Ash's point of view, it seems to be somewhat depressing and tearful.
He's always trying to prove himself to Gary and he's jealous of him too.
But there's just something about the rain that dissolves these kind of feelings....
Just like how when they're together, the rivalry and jealousy just goes away....
And eventually they realize they're not rivals but lovers xDDD

Hi silvershell! Welcome to the thread! -glomp attack-
And Shinnie-tan... I love your avatar.

What are the bad things about Ash and Gary that would cause their relationship some serious problems(either in actually getting together or afterwards)?
Definitely their dreams and ambitions. Ash wants to be a Pokemon master, so he keeps travelling from region to region, busy catching new Pokemon and battling in new gyms.
Gary, on the other hand, occupies himself with endless research.
They're busy people! I doubt they'd ever have time to settle down and be with each other for more than 1 or 2 episodes.
It's not all bad though, since they're both always moving about, and are in the same region most of the time.
It's really a different feeling when you just randomly bump into each other.
It's much more... exciting, brings back intenser memories, and helps to fuel their passion and desires.
