i'm so confused. i haven't watched pokemon since the best wishes series. what's even happening? is this an actual yuri pairing lol
I was the same way, there seems to be a lot of backstory that's necessary to really know what's going on here.
This is basically original work. The manga has some cutesy interaction between the two, but nothing to even warrant a serious consideration for shipping. Homika didn't have anything like that in the game/manga/show.
But as a go-to...the Unova region isn't worth the time for either the manga or the show. The games had good storylines and some awesome new Pokemon as well as Transceivershipping, but all-in-all it's not worth the time for the other two. The show is starting to get good again, and I can't say anything about the manga yet.
The manga, however, up until the Black and White chapter is out-of-this-world, and whether you're a fan of the games/show or not, it's worth every second.
