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.
