This is probably something every Pearlshipper has thought about at least once or twice, and you've probably even read fanfiction about it.
But now you can find out- from the official Pokemon company, by Sakai Takayuki- in the manga Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl!
We have some links for you below, courtesy of mew151 on Pearlshipping Vault. The first link has the scans online, but just in case they don't display, we also have volumes 1 & 2 as zip file downloads. The English translation is by mooites on Tumblr, and we also have some excerpts of the manga in the gallery below.
