#Ash's Sirfetch'd

[marvelousmisterstark]

Okay so this might be a hot take, but if we ignore plot armor, Ash is the top Pokémon Trainer exclusively in the sense of rearing a battle-ready team.

Think about it, all the Champions are adults (except Iris) and have been raising and honing their teams for years. But even Iris worked with Pokémon prior to becoming a trainer and was a prodigy Dragon Trainer. Leon has specifically been unbeatable for who knows how long.

Then there's Ash.

Other than Pikachu, this guy decides to raise up a completely green team for the biggest tournament of his life.

A newly evolved Dragonite that has never been in an official battle before but takes down a Champion's Ace in one of her first major battles.

An abandoned Gengar who took a three year hiatus from training before proceeding to annihilate most of his opponents leading up to the Masters Eight and also learns to Gigantamax.

A newly hatched Riolu who evolves, then Mega Evolves in a freakish speed-run and proceeds to be the team Ace.

A Galarian Farfetch'd that barely listened to Ash at first and then evolves and takes down a Mega Altaria belonging to an Elite Four member that had so many type advantages it was crazy

A Dracovish that is freshly revived and if we think about it probably never actually existed before that moment, and in its first real battle takes down Iris's brute of a Dragonite.

Each one of them took down one of Leon's Pokémon (Sirfetch'd playing support) The Strongest Trainer in the World was defeated by Pokémon in their first year of training with Ash. Do you understand how insane that is?

And Pikachu. This glass cannon that defeats every Metagross it fights, and never lost a battle in the Masters Eight, only winning and tying. And this tiny thing just keeps getting back up again and again.

If that is the team Ash can train up in the course of a year(?) I can't imagine Leon giving Ash any trouble if Ash used his past Aces.

Ash is the goGOAT and he's a terrifying force of nature and I miss him.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ASH'S ICONIC WIN! 11/11 ⚡︎

[mikyapixie]

2 years ago today Ash Ketchum became the top trainer in the Pokémon World!!!!

Don’t ask what that blue Pokémon on the left is because I DON’T KNOW!!!

[missashketchum]

First Years with Ash’s Pokemon

Headcanons of the TWST boys with Ash’s Pokemon: First Years Edition!

Sorry they're kind of short, hope you all enjoy!

Ace- Gliscor

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?!?

vampire-bat scorpion thing :/

Ace is completely confused about Gliscor, and is also low key terrified

I mean, the way the met, Gliscor literally swooped in and picked Ace up and into the air

so while Ash and Gliscor are laughing their butts off, Ace is up in the air, scarred for life

also doesn't help when Ash explains the dex entry about how silent and deadly Gliscor is

let him down!

Ash sorta starts to take pity on him and makes Gliscor put him down, but now whenever Ace shows up, Gliscor will always be there to swoop him into a 'hug'

spare him pls (lmao no)

Deuce- Sceptile

as Sceptile stared at the poor boy, there was only one thought in his head

SO COOL!!!

meanwhile, Sceptile's looking at him like "who's this weird lost child?"

"the one that destroyed the chandelier"

"a h"

Takes a while, but Deuce manages to just barely get Sceptile to warm up to him

the two then have this weird truce, mainly because Sceptile kind of likes him if he ignores the dumbassery

totally has the same "talk shit, get hit" vibes Deuce gets, so there's a sort of unity the two gain when protecting Ash/when they just generally get pissed off

Deuce watches Sceptile use his moves and he's awestruck, lmao

"No Deuce, you can't learn Leaf Blade..." -Ash Ketchum

Sceptile sorta just keeps to himself for the most part though

they can actually coexist in the same room unlike Ace and every single one of Ash's pokemon lmao

Jack- Lycanroc

a wolf, with rocks in it???

doesn’t it hurt?

and he gets his answer when Lycanroc loses its mind when he tries to pet it

"yeah, don't do that, Lycanroc hates it when people or pokemon mess up his fur"

"oh NOW you tell me" meanwhile he's got a rock painfully poking his side

Ash explains how Lycanroc actually went on full rampages whenever he got dirty, and Jack is glad he didn't get an Accelrock to the face

it takes a bit, but Lycanroc does warm up to Jack more than the rest of Ash's pokemon, mainly because wolf solidarity

if Ash is hanging out with Jack, then you best believe that Lycanroc is close by

Epel- Gible

a baby?

A DRAGON BABY!?

watched the baby pull a draco meteor and epel regrets underestimating him

is lowkey concerned when Gible just begins chewing on Ash's head, but she acts like she doesn't feel it, so he sorta just stands there

out of all of Ash's Pokemon, Gible is one of the few to warm up to the guys quite quickly

Gible bites epel too jbksjahjds

Vil, upon seeing the marks, has a heart attack lmao

but in all seriousness, Gible actually really likes Gible, and the dragon is growing on Epel, so if he ever does get bit again, he literally just shrugs it off

it's how Gible shows his affection, VIL

Ortho- Krookodile

this is probably the weirdest pairing

saw Krookodile and thought he was the coolest ever, especially with his sunglasses

enjoys watching Krookodile train with all of Ash's other strong/fully evolved pokemon, especially since he can record data for himself later

with such a wide movepool (knowing Dragon Claw, Aerial Ace, Dig, and Stone Edge) Ortho is in awe

100% the two would power up a death laser/Stone Edge in an attempt to destroy the school together

the amount of pictures he has with Krookodile is astounding, Idia is lowkey jealous

his personal fave is of him with Krookodile and they both have sunglasses on, looking cool

Sebek- Sirfetch’d

A BATTLE OF KNIGHTS

Sirfetch’d does not like Sebek one bit XD

Sebek is too loud for Sirfetch'd, and he insults their trainer any chance he gets

HOW DARE-

i wouldn't be surprised if Sirfetch'd has attacked Sebek on multiple occasions lol

even then, i'm pretty sure Sebek takes it as a challenge and tries to fight back, despite Ash's warnings

every time he gets his ass kicked though, he blames Ash for it, and at one point, homegirl just picks him up and tosses him across the yard

Sirfetch'd is laughing and Sebek would be lying if he said he wasn't scared (because he was)

girl can carry and throw a tree, idk why he wasn't scared before dwbjsksm

slowly learns to respect Ash and her ability to keep up with her Pokemon

grows to tolerate Sirfetch'd, and same is said for the 'mon

but the tensions is definitely still there lmao

[blueikeproductions]

One of those jokes that wouldn’t leave my head until I drew it. Based more on the sense of humor and general weirdness of the Kanto and Orange Islands era of the anime. Ash’s Fuecoco is essentially his Rowlet and Misty’s Psyduck mixed together.

I refuse to draw Ceruledge again so Thio’s main Pokémon for Ash & L versions are Sirfetch’d and Scyther.

[perenlop]

im bored rn, here's what i'd have liked ash's gen 8 team to look like

[poketeam-headcanons]

Pokemon team for Ashe Ubert from Fire Emblem: Three Houses!

Pre Timeskip Team: Leafeon, Farfetch'd, Furret and Nickit

Post Timeskip Team: Leafeon, Sirfetch'd, Furret, Thievul, Klefki and Delcatty

[jadeazora]

Sirfetch'd absolutely sticking that landing tho 🤩

[one-half-guy]

Still not over the fact we didn't have Ash previous pokémon in early Journeys, such wasted potentials 😤

I wanted to have seen Infernape, Pignite and Hawlucha going Trio Of Fathers Mode over Riolu and training him until he became a Lucario!!

I WANTED TO SEE THE FIGHTING-TYPES TRAINING THIS FIGHTING-TYPE-JR!!

Also, Scraggy could've easily been that rival who nobody would take serious and would always just look immature, but in the end be the one to help Riolu/Lucario the most!! WE WERE ROBBED 😤😤

I wanted to see Charizard become best buddy of Dragonite and them getting along in keep an eye on the other pokémon from Sakuragi Park, just like he surely does with Bulbasaur and the voices in my head are right!! 😤

Also, I missed the double battles, these two would be SUCH a duo of beasts!!

You know what?? Hawlucha and Oshawot should've bonded with Farfetch'd, they would be perfect to teach this duck how to respect their trainer!!

Noctowl playing the babysitter to Gengar is some ride I'll die on, this oldman owl KNOWS to deal with these ghostly gremlins!!

Dracovish actually is hard to picture with the old ones... Maybe Glalie and Snorlax... Maybe his capture could be when Ash stopped rotate the team...

ANYWAY, I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE GOT AT LEAST ONE FRAME OF FLASHBACK BATTLING FOR THE NORMAL AND SUPER CLASS!! While the new ones got the full on-screen important battles.

[kakusu-shipping]

Saw your most recent rb and im taking this as a opportunity to talk bout my pokemon si!

So her names Amy and shes a shiny pokemon researcher from a region based on australia lol

As a result of her research, she has obtained a good number of shinies, (alolan raichu, sylveon, floatzel etc.) and how she met ash was because of his shiny noctowl!

Im still trying to figure out some lore stuff, but feel free to ask about her!

- @cloudys-selfships

I will ABSOLUTELY be asking about her in the future she's so CUTE!!!!

I'm also SO sorry I have like 5 asks from you and I've sat on all of them for almost a year now PLEASE take this doodle of your S/I as an apology!!! And feel free to rant in my ask box any her and/or Ash any time!!!! (or any of your other selfships. 👀 Isabelle perhaps?)

Pokemon Journeys Episode 143 Review

Pokemon Journeys Episode 143. Let’s review:

I found this episode to be pretty lovable.

While this will probably be the only “released-mon return” episode we’ll get for Aim To Be a Pokemon Master, it was still enjoyable for what it’s worth. Ash’s reunion and interactions with Lapras were great and it was very awesome to Lapras think of an “Ash-level” maneuver to free their former trainer from the flooded in cave, being a similar surfing on ice strategy they used back during the Orange Islands. Was pretty cool to see Brock’s Marshtomp again and it was nice for Ash to FINALLY have 5 reserves on his team instead of just 4.

I also loved how much of a little savage shit Pikachu was to Team Rocket this whole episode. From outright spotting their Magikarp Sub scope to outright threatening them to help him out while maintaining an innocent face is just amazing on so many levels. Was also nice seeing a bit more respect for Torterra by showing him knowing Frenzy Plant (and being able to swim apparently) and Sirfetch’d surfing his with shield was cute.

I’ll give this episode a 10/10. A lovable one for sure.

A Redraw of the segment from the Japanese Opening of Pokémon Journeys with all of Ash's Pokémon. I had so much fun doing this piece and still can't believe he became a World Champion🤩🤩🤩 its still unbelievable!!

[missashketchum]

Malleus starting to play the role of big brother to Ash and he doesn't hesitate to simply snap his fingers to use magic and restore the entire dorm as he won't let his new little sister live in precarious conditions. (Even though he loved the dorm as an abandoned building, he will prioritize her well-being and this earns him the respect of all her 'mons, but Sirfetch'd and Aegislash even more since they're the old fashioned gentlemen trio).

YES

literally everyone except ash knows that, at this point, malleus as taken her as his baby sister and no one can stop him

no one can mess with ash unless they wanna mess with a big, scary dragon

Aegislash and Sidfetch’d approve

[lostparadox]

Pokémon Sword and Shield (Rewrite Fanfic):

For my Victors team, he will NOT have either Zacian or Zamazenta. They will go to Hop and Gloria. In a later post I will give an idea for Victor's team, but I want your option on a debate. For his team, Ash's champion team will not fully be an option. I do not want any of the gym challengers to have Pokémon that are the aces of other Trainers, gym leaders, and the missing gym leaders, discussed in a previous post I made.

The Pokémon Victor can't use from Ash's champion team are Pikachu (maybe he can use Raichu), Gengar (Allister uses one as his ace), and Dragonite (from Crown Tundra, which is better for post game).

The Pokémon Victor can use from Ash's champion team are Dracovish, Sirfetch'd, and Lucario (no mega-evolution).

Victor will use Dracovish, since other than in the battle tower (and maybe the battle facility in the Isle of Armor, I forgot), no other trainer use the Galarian Fossil Pokémon. But the choice is that, which other Pokémon should I chose for Victor: Sirfetch'd or Lucario?

I can have only one.
