#Ash's father is like an eevee

[love-is-a-pearl]

Oh my god, I'm so glad that you are fellow "Ash's Giovanni's son". I mean... It's fitting. Like, I can agree that man avoids his family over a pride can work in real world, but... That's kinda ridiculous for story. Like "we have a kid that abandoned by his father, but we never touch this theme properly and just show you kid's challenges to reach his professional goal". It's just don't work in stories about kids- there ALWAYS influence of both parents on kids. And hiding one of them is... dumb.

Honestly, Giovanni being Ash's dad worls as the reason why he allows Team R trio to follow him around. Like, there's theory that Giovanni keeps Jessie, James and Meowth in organisation solely for them to watch over his son. Like, they do some reports time to time, so I guess that's how Giovanni keeps updated about Ash.

(Also, that's already headcanon, but imagine him hating Dawn's guts cause he thinks she's Team Galactic member. Like he judges by himself amd thinks she's also Cyrus's secret kid or something 😅)

aiodnaoid I'm not though :v sorry! im boring😭

What I said is that I do like the mundane idea of Ash's dad being just.. some loser LMAO

Yeah, it's silly, but I like it. I like that at least in that sense Ash is not the chosen one yknow?

Also I'm a sucker for making canon work even if it's stupid so I tend to like even the most idiotic shit pokeani pulls (we've seen it with the whole BW debacle) aiodjoa

But depending on the moon I do like the idea of Ash being Giovanni's son (somedays I prefer it to be some loser; somedays I love the idea of being that Silver dude from Johto; and sometimes I do like the concept of him being special from birth).

I think there's a LOT of potential in it. Specially for Ash and having him wondering if that means he's evil too, if he will become like Giovanni in the future, what that means for his mother? Her relationship with other people and how she views Ash? Does she resent having him? Is filled with interesting questions and I wouldn't mind seeing more of it.

Also I think both concepts could work together quite well too? Like, Giovanni DID leave to become a trainer, shit didn't go his way, he didn't like how the league was done and then he decided to do things his own way, getting a bunch of failed trainers under his wing until it became a full evil organization and because of that he could just never go back home. Its a fun thought, of how he overcame failure in a bad way and his son overcame it in a better way. Fun parallels.

And that concept that Giovanni hired TRio as his son's babysitters is hilarious. Lol, imagine telling Gary that Ash only got the Viridian Gym Badge because Giovanni wouldn't put Mewtwo to fight his baby boy LMAO

And the idea of him just assuming all his son's friends are related to other evil bosses is also so funny?? Projecting much my dude?

[crystal-moon-101]

It's probably no surprise that I have more next gens beyond what I have already shown, so here I present the main cast of another next gen series I have cooking up in the background. Pokemon! Now, like most things I watch, a lot of this is influenced by a rewrite I have of the series in the background, so there are things that may not make sense to most, lol. Things like mixing the pokemon game characters into the anime series, and stuff like making Giovanni both Silver and Ash's father, not because I believe it to be real, but because I like the drama. But I hope you enjoy the main cast!

-Rachel Ketchum- The 13-year-old daughter of Ash and Serena. Rachel is a very sweet, kind and soft spoken girl, who sadly was born with many health complications. She gets easily sick, deals with nasty asthma, and overall has a weak body. It's not as bad as it once was when she was a baby, but she still has to deal with a lot of problems. But this has made her a very sympathetic person at heart, especially towards pokemon, having her father's natural love and appreciation for them.

Her starter pokemon was an Eevee gifted to her by uncle Gary on her 8th birthday party, much to Ash's dismay. Unlike her trainer, Eevee is bold, out there and always ready for a fight, being highly protective of Rachel. Eventually she evolves to become a Vaporeon, wanting to use her water powers in both combat, and to help Rachel when she can.

Rachel also has a younger brother called Percy, who is a little rascal, but adores his big sister. He may or may not have cried when she finally went on her first pokemon journey, leaving home to go to the region of Horae.

-Theo Oak- The 13-year-old son of Gary and Misty. Theo is a charming young boy who has a very buddy buddy relationship with people, and very expressive in himself. As a kid he was rather danger prone due to seeking out adventure everywhere, but has thankfully mellowed out a lot, even if he still enjoys the extreme side of life. With his father's side having a lot of pokemon knowledge, and mother's side of loving water pokemon, Theo is packed with information about water types, and shares Misty's love of them.

His starter pokemon was an Pichu gifted to him by uncle Ash, as revenge for Gary giving Rachel Eevee. As a Pichu, she had been so full of energy she was bouncing off the walls, but as she evolves into Pikachu and eventually Alolan Raichu, she calms down quite a bit and becomes more of a fun motherly pokemon, always eager to put an smile on people's faces. Having fun with her trainer at any chance they get.

-Sterling Kris- The 15-year-old son of Lyra and Silver. Sterling is the most mature out of the gang, and is very hard to phase, often calm and collected, which helps when dealing with a group like this. He mostly came on the pokemon journey to keep his cousin Rachel safe, but still enjoys what the trip offers him. He also has an odd quirk in that all his pokemon are female, and seems to have an easy time bonding with pokemon that are girls. People theories that he just has a pleasant aura around him that makes him feel safe for them.

His starter was a Togepi, having raised her from an egg that his father found during a police raid on illegal pokemon poaching. No matter how much she grows, even once she becomes a Togekiss, she is a diva of a pokemon, wanting to look her best and has a habit of taking anything that interests her, especially shiny things. But she is a sweet lady, often cuddly in nature and adores Sterling, being the vocal one for the both of them.

-Zee Gropius- The 14-year-old daughter of N and Hilda. Zee is kind spirit, having her father's ability to talk to pokemon, and is an outdoor girl at heart. Though she is a little ditzy and naive, having been a last minute addition to this traveling group of friends when N and Hilda feared she wouldn't do well alone. She has a lot of love to give, always wanting to make friends with people and pokemon, and always takes in everything around her.

Her starter was a Deino she found when he was just a baby, having lost his mother in the middle of the night, Zee hearing him cry in fear. Despite the reputation of this pokemon and it's evolutions, Deino is a chonky lovable big baby that always wants treats and snuggles. Even as he gets bigger and becomes a Hydreigon. Zee is his family, and he will never see it any other way.

[pokemon-ash-aus]

On the gijinka/human versions of the Pokemon from your Cursed AU, what're their families like?

I havent really thought too deep onto it. J imagine a lot of them are sorta similar to what it was like in canon.

Charmander was adopted but he lives in an abusive home. More emotional than Physical. He was recently 'rehomed' because his shitty step father left him out in the rain one night.

Bulbasaur was in a car accident and now lives with his aunt who has the time to take care of him. It isnt outright mentioned, but it was assumed his parents passed away in the crash.

Squirtle lives in a home with troubled youths, he has claimed many siblings that apparently, look a lot like him. He's gotten more tame since attending the school, and he helps a lot with the local fire fighting unit. He's considered the main man despite being Blind, becaus epeopke LOVE to point out he's blind. (Oh really, I hadnt noticed, is that way everything is dark :) )

Pikachu and Eevee live with each other, Adopted by a nice woman and her daughter. Pikschu is definitely the trouble maker but people seem to love him cause hes cute.

Charcoal lives wih Mewtwo and his Gran Mew. He's actually a one night stand baby that got dropped off at his fathers place after his mother couldnt deal with him anymore.

And Ash is just a perpetually long living dog XD

[diamondphantom-art]

OK SO I've been wanting to draw my pokemon trainer self insert with all of her pokemon for a while but...it's just not doable LOL I decided to do a group pic for the pokemon she has for each region!

For example, these are all the Pokemon she has that were first discovered in the Johto region. Most people would start with Kanto, butttt, her first journey was through Johto, so I decided to start there.

Her outfit is based on my FIRST outfit design for her (it's not her current one). She'll have a different outfit every pic! At the end I'll try to make some kind of nice ref for her. ✩ Johto Team Shot ✩ Kanto Team Shot ✩ Hoenn Team Shot ✩

Click the read more to learn about each of these mons!

Petal—Meganium—♀— Calm Nature Caught in her sister’s garden in Celadon City as a Chikorita. Very mellow and prefers to go with the flow. She isn’t one for crowds and prefers opens spaces with plenty of flora. She enjoys spending time in the nearby meadow looking after the local Pokémon that live there. Petal is a great mediator and often helps settle various disputes.

Ash (Ashen)—Typhlosion—♂—Timid Nature Obtained from Prof. Elm in New Bark Town. He was supposed to be a starter for new trainers, but wasn’t suited for it due to his high anxiety. With a specialized treatment plan, his anxiety is mostly under control. He’s, overall, quite timid. He rarely interacts with others and spends most of his time sunbathing or battling whoever challenges him.

Blitz—Shiny Pichu—♂—Rash Nature The child of Dia’s Pokemon: Lightning (Raichu) and Vanilla (Alolan Raichu). Born at the same time as his cousin, Tess (Pichu). As a fairly young Pokemon, he doesn’t make the best decisions. He’s quick to start fights for fun but also quick to run when it doesn’t pan out. He wants to be a great battler like his dad someday, but hasn’t seemed to do well thus far. Special notes: Shiny palette comes from GSC.

Tess (Tesla)—Pichu—♀—Timid Nature The child of Dia’s Pokemon: Duskio (Umbreon) and her sister’s Pokemon: Thunder (Pikachu). Born the same time as her cousin Blitz (Pichu). As a fairly young Pokemon, she still clings closely to her parents. She’s very meek and tends to avoid most other Pokemon. However, she usually tags along with Blitz in an attempt to keep him out of trouble. She seems to have a good instinct for battling, even though she isn’t particularly interested in it. Special Notes: Spiky-Eared Pichu!

Volt (Voltaic)—Laturn—♂—Calm Nature Dia fished him out by the bay in Cherrygrove City as a Chinchou. He was happy to join her and her Pokemon. Volt enjoys sunbathing, taking relaxing swims. and naps. He's not much for activity and just tends to go with the flow. Although laid back, he's the first to rush out and help anyone in trouble. Volt's a certified Pokemon Lifeguard.

Dom (Dominic)—Espeon—♂—Hasty Nature The child of Dia’s Pokemon: Navy (Vaporeon) and Syntha (Leafeon). A prankster with little impulse control. Dom likes to drag his brother Damian (Jolteon) around on mischievous adventures; usually harmless pranks are involved. He often visits Violet City because he enjoys teasing tourists with at Sprout Tower with his wild Pokemon friends.

Duskio—Umbreon—♂—Impish Nature The first Pokemon that Dia ever caught! He had been corrupted in early Shadow Pokemon projects and released into the wild. Never fully a shadow Pokemon, Dia was able to unlock his heart and return him to normal. He’s very loyal and sees himself as a protector, especially now that he has a child: Tess (Pichu). When he’s not guarding/on patrol, he greatly enjoys playing with the younger Pokemon or spending time with his partner Thunder (Pikachu).

Dell (Dellutio)—Shiny Umbreon—♂—Bold Nature Given as a gift to Dia by her father when on a trip to Orre. Even as an Eevee, his goal was always to become as strong as possible. He’s very bold, ambitious, and stubborn. He cares deeply for his partner, Escalus (Flareon) and would do anything for him. Special Notes: Shiny palette comes from the GameCube games.

Cress (Crescent)—Teddiursa—♀—Rash Nature She originally belonged to the daughter of a berry farmer. Cress desperately wanted to leave the farm and see the world, so she ran away. Dia found her and brought her back to her original trainer, but, the daughter agreed to let Cress join Dia on her journey. Cress is a hotheaded and passionate gal. Most other Pokemon shy away from her due to her personality and she has trouble making friends. Despite this, she’s actually excellent at taking care of eggs and younger Pokemon which she does at a Violet City Daycare center along with a few of Dia’s other Pokemon.

hello....tell me about your trainer oc........

Hello my dear pal and friend it’s rambling time

- Krys started their Pokémon journey around when they just turned 16, and age throughout their travels. They’re 22 by the end of their time in Paldea.

- Though trainers typically start traveling at age ten, Krys and their neighbor Laurel (Laurel Oak. It’s supposed to be the Kanto rival. :3), spent that time with Professor Oak to work on building the first digital pokedex.

- Krys kinda sorta released their Johto team as well as their partner, Aurora, at the end of their Johto journey in order to protect the legendary beasts. Over the years those pokemon passed their roles onto local wild pokemon, and one by one returned to Pallet Town for Krys to visit again.

- Aurora the eevee on the other hand, stayed behind until she met a trainer named Adam with a dragonite. Aurora decided to help him earn the indigo league badges, and then she met up with Krys after they participated in the Hoenn League conference. Aurora, as Adam’s pokemon at the time, battled against Krys’ Hoenn team during the preliminary rounds.

- Krys’ mom lives in Pallet Town, working as a pokemon nurse. Their father is Norman, who moved to Hoenn to run his gym in Petalburg after inheriting it from his mother. Krys’ paternal aunt moved from Kanto to Hoenn, and they helped her move, which is how they ended up there.

- Also Archie and Maxie are unofficially now their uncles. Krys has no say in the matter. Ingo and Emmet too. When Krys became drinking age they all became good drinking buddies.

- Krys can understand Pokémon. You can imagine how interesting it was when they met N.

- Officially owns and trains legendary pokemon, but only two: a Latias named Artemis and Miraidon named Harley. Mew and Mewtwo are very good friends of Krys, and they respect that they both wish to remain wild pokemon.

- Is canonically not a virgin. Good for them. Good for them.

- If Krys were a pokemon, they’d be a shiny riolu!

- Krys took on a big sibling role to Arven, Nemona, and Penny (who I hc as being 17, 16, and 13 respectively). However, Krys is around the height of the player character of ScVi. Short king fr.

- In Paldea, they worked alongside Jacq as his assistant teacher, though they also traveled around the region whenever they weren’t scheduled to assist. Fine by them, as it gave them time to help with Miraidon, Arven, Team Star, and try the Gym Challenge of this region. The Paldea league is the first, and so far only, time that they’ve made it to a champion rank trainer.

- They also had traveling companions just like Ash did in the anime, although these are more OCs rather than canon characters. Although journeying through Galar, Krys went along with Hop to look out for him while he did the gym challenge, with Krys having a supportive mentor role.

- I’ve mentioned this before, but Krys’ travels only last ten years. Professor Oak retires around this time, and Krys comes back to Kanto, being handed the title of Pokémon Professor.

There’s more fun facts and stuff I wanna talk about but I’m not coming up with anything else atm shdjdbd. I have like. Their whole journey planned out and most of what happens during them. tysm for this pal it is really great to ramble fr

Goh and Chloe

What happens if your Grookey and Eevee gets Taunted from a move "Taunt"?

Chloe: She will probably not understand, but might Taunt back

Goh: Grookey also may not understand because he is so friendly!

But if he does... he will bonk them 💦

He may not look it, but he has a large ego, and so doesn't like being mocked

Chloe: He takes after his 'father'

Goh:

Goh: Well, Eevee takes after her mother because she imitates the people around her instead of having a personality, so there!

Chloe: What 😱

That's uncalled for! I was only stating facts

Goh: I don't have a large ego, right, Ash? 😟

Ash: That's, uh, a very interesting question, Goh. I'll be sure to answer it someday 😇

PART TWO: QUESTIONNAIRE. 

IF YOUR MUSE IS A MUSICIAN:

start at the beginning, who are you and why are you important?

"Hi, uh, my name is Ash DiMarco, and I'm one of the founding members of The Wallets."

how long have you been making music?

"Well music kinda runs in my family, so it's been a part of my life forever. I mean my mom literally was pregnant on tour. But uh, when I was about 13 I started to really take it seriously. It's around this time when I begged my older cousin to be in my band and well, that's how this kinda all started."

how would you describe the kind of music you make?

"It's definitely indie rock. A little bit of pop, a touch of singer- songwriter vibes."

who are some of your biggest musical influences?

"Well obviously my mom was a huge influence on me, considering how amazing she really is. And many of her influences too, for obvious reasons, but I really draw from like blackbear, Jeremy Zucker, Jon Bellion, the 1975, Wombats, you know very alt artists that are just extremely talented and lyrical geniuses. "

what is the first record you ever bought?

"Make believe by weezer"

what has working in the music industry meant to you thus far in your career?

"I haven't been as successful as some of the members of my family, but I really love this industry. There's so much that goes into making an album or doing a show that I dont think people realize, and that's kinda what I love about it. I love how much work it really takes."

what are some stand out moments from your career so far?

"Well out music videos are what I really love and are most proud of."

how would you describe your style of performance? what makes your shows worth seeing?

Awkward. The Wallets only did one tour in ten years. With local shows few and far between, and it was all because of him. The anxiety he felt on stage. "Well, we don't do a lot of shows, so..." He gave a small chuckle hoping they would move on.

what are you still hoping to achieve in your career, and what’s next for you?

Ash took a long pause, thinking about the future, what he wanted. And the truth was he didn't know. Wallets was crumbling, every member moving on in separate directions, and here he was. clinging to the music industry, cause it's all he really knew. "Sky's the limit."

[kokorowoutsu]

-- JMF: Bonfire Celebrations

The atmosphere was not what any of the Grandcrest crew expected. Joined by some others who got side-tracked in checking out the various stalls in the three that had decided to join late including two family friends; Donovan and Flannery, and a Lucario, Ruko. However, while Grusha went along with his Eevee, Ezio, to join Ruko in looking at the masks to see if he could something for Ezio to wear, the other three stood before the fire and while they noticed many faces around them, each had something different in mind that they had to take care of. Accompanied by a pokemon each in Sylveon, Charizard, and Zoroark, the three split up for now. 

Leon spent the least amount of time where people were quietest, saying his hellos and goodbyes to his father who he had bought the paper-like wrench for, tossing it into the flames. He’d see him again -- after all, death was not the end in his culture. He took a moment to look back at his fiance and her brother for a few moments just to be sure they were alright before departing to find the other members of the entourage with his partner, Bahamut.

Ashe remained near her brother with Lucky, holding the letter in her hand for a few moments before heaving a deep breath in getting to her feet and despite the tears, she threw the letter into the flames and took a moment to make sure it ascended ashes and all into the heavens. Only then did she wipe her tears and turn to her brother, Kianga, who had yet to move, staring at the two letters with his Zoroark sister watching him with a worried expression. Ashe and Kianga were polar opposites when it came to grieving. Ashe ran from her pain and suffered later while Kianga held onto it until it ate every piece of him up, then he recovered for a while, and the process began again. In this, Ashe finally felt a need to step in. It was time to let go.

They could remember and cry when it got to be too much -- but holding onto the pain was going to only make things worse... and so approaching her brother, she took his hand that held the letter addressed to Parker in particular. Kneeling down, she watched her brother with a gentle expression. “... She’s waiting to read it. Let’s go give it to her, yeah?” She’d be with him for this just as Morgan had been with her when her Grandmother had passed. No one had been there for Kianga with Parker’s passing because he hadn’t allowed them to be... and here his sister was pushing her way in as nosey as she was. She wasn’t going anywhere. She would be here.

Swallowing back emotions, he got to his feet and allowed her to lead him to the bonfire while Lucky and Amethyst hung back. Releasing his hand but remaining beside him, the first letter to be tossed into the fire was addressed to his Mother, Lillian. He said nothing but his eyes glistened with the threat to shed tears. Following that after looking at the letter against the intense heat for a bit longer was the letter to Parker. With this one, Ashe went to take his hand as he brought it back, pressing her shoulder against his. He felt like caving and sobbing then and there, but he didn’t allow himself to do so. Not yet, at least.

For a short while, the two siblings stared skyward with Ashe’s arms wrapped around Kianga’s, leaning against him. People hustled and bustled by, but the two paid no mind. It was only when Lucky and Amethyst came to fetch them at Grusha’s call about food that the two shared a look and Ashe took her brother by the hand, leading him away. For now, he’d let her lead and guide him as need be. He was too numb to feel anything tonight anyway. 

[crystalelemental]

After all this time, it is finally done. We have finished all three seasons of the XY anime.

Kinda surprised, but final takeaway is that was pretty good.

The first two seasons felt pretty standard to what I'd recall, where the major emphasis is placed on the interactions, be it human dynamics or the way Pokemon interact. It's cute and relatively fun but the kind of show I can put on in the background while playing something and not miss too much. XYZ was...surprisingly story-centered. I actually like what they did with Zygarde and Team Flare. That was a fun arc. Surprisingly dramatic.

As for the character rundown...

Ash is the least interesting part of his own story. My wife had a great point about it, and maybe she'll post about it herself, but she noted we never actually see Ash's internal strategy and thought in the same way as, say, Sawyer in the semifinals. He just kinda does stuff, and I'd argue it's mostly bullshit stuff half the time. The fuck do you mean X-Scissor cut through Trick Room? Fuck you. Ash just doesn't grate on me like he used to, though. Like, compared to the first season, he's less obnoxious. But the improvement is from outright contempt to like...a non-entity. Unless Greninja is involved. Then he is obnoxious again.

By contrast, Serena is the most interesting one here. Her arc with the performances is actually really good. Starting on a loss that devastates, overcoming, having another fumble later that does cost her a win but working through it successfully, and ending on a big engagement with her rival that she loses pretty handily. It's good stuff. Also I like how it all ends with Palerma offering to tutor her, and her turning it down to travel the world instead. I think Serena's arc felt more like following a proper character growth story. She feels significantly different from where she started.

Clemont and Bonnie are good, too. Clemont grew on me in ways I didn't expect, and Bonnie started really clicking with the Squishy arc. Though man, Bonnie cannot catch a break. Every Pokemon she befriends aside from Dedenne leaves.

Alain is fine. Similar to Ash, he's not all that interesting, but I give him a little more credit than Ash. Barely, though. "I have to be strong" is still very standard anime protagonist man. Marron is just a nice grounding tool for that. I am nothing if not a sucker for that trope. Though Sawyer wound up being the preferred side character. I actually love that kid. Someone who battles with clear strategy and like...adapts and learns and grows in real time? He was in like ten episodes and I feel like there was more substance in his regional travel than the gang's.

The gym leaders getting a bit of spotlight is always nice for personality. My wife and I are now Viola/Grant shippers as it turns out. Korrina's arc was really solid. I love that they let Valerie speak in Pokemon, something about that rules. Olympia is hella extra and I adore her double Meowstic thing, hers was my favorite gym battle. Wulfric actually wound up being kinda fun in the rematch, too.

Of the team's Pokemon, we wound up really liking Hawlucha, Bunnelby, and Eevee/Sylveon. Hawlucha, or Pawlucha, is great. Showboating luchador bird who is now Noibat's father. Bunnelby is consistently MVP, and the decision to have Bunnelby seem constantly exhausted because of Chespin and Pancham, but the only one Eevee feels completely comfortable with, is golden. Eevee itself is adorable, shy baby with its own great arc. I think they said "She" in reference to Eevee, but I'm just saying, the tail pattern is male.

I think the biggest complaint I have is that...none of this feels like it will have an impact on anything. We started Sun and Moon, so we know none of Ash's team remains, despite not all of them getting a proper sendoff. We know none of the travel companions stick around. We know that despite all these experiences and battles, Pikachu will go on to struggle against a Grubbin. There were like 16 seasons before this, and yet still Ash is learning basic lessons like how to deal with Gust. And I am just...so strongly put in the mind of "This would be more interesting with a different protagonist."

Actually that's only the second biggest. The biggest is Greninja. I hate that thing. They bring up an entire thing in the Bond Phenomenon, then go out of their way to say no, it's not just a strong bond, this Greninja is actually just that special. No one else ever can do that. And despite ending with the implied mega evolution energy in other parts of the world, mega evolution goes on to be dropped entirely, with nothing more to be discovered. It ties into that sense of "none of this matters." I imagine it's all like this, with each season being fairly standalone, but that just makes anything interesting as an open-ended question fade away to nothing, and any growth and development for Ash, which is little enough to begin with, amount to nothing. I'm choosing to interpret this as him receiving a TBI between each season, negating all progress. Pikachu gets one too.

There isn't a ton else I want to talk about, really. It was fairly fun. I'm keeping up with Sun and Moon, because I gotta develop an opinion on Anime Lusamine. We'll see how it goes.

____Post JN arc____

Chloe realizes that she changed a lot from the day she found an injured Ash on the stairs and Goh found a new friend.

She is secretly grateful to them and to all of the other people she met, who improved her life and her view of the strange creatures who live in her world.

She came to know of a lot of careers including them, like battler, catcher, coordinator, gym leader and go on. But also the not pokemon related ones.

She has on her side the loyality of her Yamper (her father gave her him) the cheerfulness of her Eevee and the mysterious Ponyta who visits sometimes.

She has also a shared Pokemon with Mika, Clefairy (named Sakura after her), and befriended Alcremie and Cherrim,along with other Mika's pokemon.

But her heart asks for more, there are still more things to discover in this vast world.

____

For her 11 birthday, something new finally happened.

After her mom noticed her talent of taking good photos with her phone, gives her a camera,asking her if she wants to do it as a hobby. No worry about the future, not a definitive goal, just a hobby for the present.

The same day a mysterious egg came in the Professor Cerise's lab. He explain that it came from another region and is a gift from a professor who lives here.

Ash and Goh suggest that Chloe is ready to take care of it, like they did with Riolu's one (here the egg chronicles are canon). Yamper and Eevee are curious of what will be and they take turns to watch over the egg.

Between school, fossil studying and thinking about possible goals (present, past and future) Chloe came to accept herself and that, even if her friends will have different careers and will be distant, they will still be here for her.

Mika visits her more frequently, to study together and also because of curiosity, and wanting to be friend of the new pokemon too.

Mika's mother finally accepted her love for pokemon and let her keep Pichu, who evolved, and Clefairy, but she has to do well at school. Also she doesn't have the financial possibility of catching them all, so she has just to befriend them.

The mysterious egg finally hatched and a little, green kitten was born. Its name is Sprigatito.

The girl became curious about the region it came from and what if she wants to visit it?

What other adventures will call her there?

Some context for this au :)

I want to add on a bit more about the FoundFamily!Au on how/why Misty and Brock joined Ash and Gary on their journey

Misty finds Ash and Gary after having a particularly nasty run in with a flock of Spearow (plus a Fearow) trying to get to Viridian's Pokecenter but ending up taking a wrong turn leading to them both falling into the river that lead to Misty's campsite.She tries her absolute damndest to get both the boys and their pokemon (Eevee and Pichu) back to safety along with dodging Rocket Grunts patroling after hearing reports of Mew in the area but is able to get them to the Pokecenter in one piece.It wasn't even 2 hours after making it there that Rocket decided to break in (Jessie and James of course) along with a couple other grunts yelling about needing to "Take the Oak kid,he knows where Mew is",Misty is able to fight all of them off with the help of Joy (all Nurse Joys in this AU have mons for self defence) and realizes "Oh my god these two aren't going to get past Viridian Forest at this rate" and decides to join them acting as a mentor and a guardian being 4 years their seinor.

Brock on the other hand was found by Ash & Co via Gary sitting on what he thought to be a boulder but turned out to be a part of Onix's tail (she's a B I G snek) which got Brock's attention and oddly enough led to him apologizing and insisting that he was careless for leaving Onix out in the open like that (all three of them were slightly wierded out over his reaction),Ash eventually asked about the Pewter Gym and were he could find it and Brock of course giving directions but Misty did notice how quiet he got when mentioning it's Leader thinking it was a bit odd but figured it was because of his timid demeanor.After suffering quite brutal loses to the Pewter leader Ash and Gary decide to train near the waterwheel they found earlier that day and coming across Brock again who turns out was utilizing the abandoned shack by it as a shelter letting it slip that he's actually homeless.The boy's training was sped up signifigantly (week long period of time) with Brock and Misty assisting which resulted in Pichu evolving and both Pikachu and Eevee learning iron tail via Onix's teachings.During this time Brock let it slip once again that he used to in fact be the Pewter Leader but was forced to leave,Misty tried asking why he had to which caused Brock to completely freeze up and change the subject before she caught on (Gary asking about the braces around his left arm and ankle but got no actual response outside of "hiking accident").

The next day Ash and Gary won and got their badges but right as they were leaving they brought up the previous Leader and how they were actually trained by him which of course sent Flint into a rant about how "there's no way that failure could've contributed anything to your training" and "he should've been gone long ago",Ash and Gary were of course pissed off because how dare he insult their friend like that and at that moment Misty and Brock (who is absolutely terrified of being spotted) are both of course seen by Flint who just goes off saying "oh well guess the reject is back" and letting everything out about how Brock was kicked out and barred from his Leader position and that there isn't a damn thing that they can do about it.Misty now getting EXTREMELY pissed knowing how much work it takes to become a leader and is also a bit confused on how Brock was even barred in the first place absolutely lays into Flint (and not noticing that Brock had actually ran off after what his father had said).Ash & Co eventually find Brock near the waterwheel trying to stave off a panic attack (and some oddly harsh nervous tics) and asks if he wants to go with them,at first saying no but then quickly coming to terms with no longer being safe there decides to go with Ash's group for his own sake (and physical health not really being able to care for himself anymore),after going to the Pokecenter for one last checkup on the group's pokemon (and Brock making sure that he's able to travel plus picking up his allergy and pain meds) they leave Pewter never looking back.

Pokémon AU DSMP!

(Not all though sorry!)

Tommyinnit -

• There is no doubt in my mind that Tommy starter would be Cyndaquil, it just fits him! (I think he said that was his favorite Pokémon or something, not sure on that though).

• 16 years old.

• Definitely the main character like Ash Ketchum, but less heroic and more childish.

• Low-key would have an awful team but somehow get all his badges by luck.

• Him and Tubbo being like Ash and Goh (but less chaotic on Tubbo’s part)

• His end goal is to get all his badges from the gym leaders, then to take on his brother; technoblade, the regional Champion.

• Overall a nice guy who wants to prove himself to his two brothers and father; Technoblade, Wilbur, and Philza.

• Only has one Pokémon/just started off on his journey.

Tubbo -

• Bee boy is an apprentice Pokémon scientist, who is following Tommy around to learn about Pokémon and hopefully discover amazing facts about them.

• 16 years old.

• Has known Tommy his whole life.

• Starter Pokémon was probably a wooloo Schlatt gave him when he was young.

• He dyes his wooloo’s fur green so that it can camouflage to not scare away the other Pokémon when he’s researching them.

• Used to dye crazy colors on his wooloo for fun!

• Always manages to be dirty/sticks in his hair constantly.

• Somehow more dirty than Tommy, and Tommy is DIRTY.

• Always carries around a journal to write down what he finds out, was given to him by Tommy when he was younger as a birthday gift.

My thought process for making teams in Pokemon AUs are technically "Can this Pokémon reasonably get to this region as of the current generation?" but tbh I can justify anything through foreign tourists accidentally bringing along hitchhikers on their planes/boats or releasing Pokémon on vacation.

The first Pokémon someone has is the one I put the most thought into a backstory for. I personally don't think this has to be representative of the miraculous they use. Additionally, I feel like traditional starters aren't treated enough like the rarities they are in-game. I usually throw Eevee into the starter slots because it makes so much more sense. A single species to breed on a mass scale, variable but controllable in its development and evolution, popular and cute, and easy to bring wherever in their final evolution stages.

The rarity of starters is a place where you can throw in money as an issue, and economic backgrounds can also give you much-needed limitations in teambuilding to stop you from planning for an hour per character. Chloé gets to have an imported Piplup as one of her father's gifts when her mother leaves, and Nino starts with a Whismur but gets a Squirtle or Turtwig egg after DJing a rich person party. Alix gets a Scorbunny from Galar on the birthday before she goes off on her journey, and Kim gets an Eevee he evolves into a Vaporeon so he can have an excuse to keep up his swimming skills ("I'm definitely not counterpicking you, pipsqueak! It's just for bonding purposes!"). Kagami gets an Eevee through a starter program that she evolves to a Jolteon, but her family are master breeders of the Honedge evolution line, so she gets an extra starter. Emelie's disappearance leads to Adrien having nightmares, so Nathalie gets him a therapy Munna. Anarka works at the docks, and catches a runaway Litten she gives to Juleka. Marinette wants to get into fashion design, so her parents get her a Furfrou.

One of the ideas I had that I really liked was the animated Pokémon series being the in-universe equivalent of a live-action cop show. Alya becomes a fan of that and bargains her way into her mother getting a Pichu. (Just don't ask about the self-insert fanfiction where she replaces Ash and gets to romance all the female protagonists. Misty's aesthetic has to be someone's gay awakening, and I get to throw Alya into that crowd for funsies.)

From there, depending on how into battling I want the character, to be, I fill out their team to both cover various weak points and either have symbolic meaning or be something they'd like. Irony and breaking expectations is also fair game. I also put the miraculous-representing mons here if they're not that character's starter. Chloé gets a Kangaskhan and a Cutiefly, Adrien gets a Cubone and a Purrloin, Juleka gets a Toxel, and Golisopod looks like something from a horror movie so let's go with that,Kim gets a Chimchar and a Ralts to evolve to Gardevoir, Marinette gets a Blipbug and a- Ooh, if I give her a Glaceon and give Chloé a Leafeon they can be foils, throw an Eevee in for both of them, and while we're at it give Adrien a Doublade while Kagami goes full into Aegislash, we can give her a Dratini so she has a dragon from Kanto, Alya's enough of a nerd to willingly go for the 5 euro Magikarp deal so I can throw that in with Fennekin-

You get the point

Oh dope!!

[askthejourneysgang]

(I'm still Female Clemont just changed the username), Goh, If you we're forced to hurt someone what would you do?

Hurt the person you're forced to hurt

2. Runaway

3. Hurt the person who's trying to make you hurt he or her

4. Call Ash and Officer Jenny

For Ash: What's your favorite color flower?

For Chloe: Out of all Eevee's evolutions, which one do you like the most?

For Pikachu: Don't go pretending you don't see Goh as family, anyways what's you favorite attack? (Example: Thunderbolt)

For Grookey: Do you enjoy sending time with Goh and Cinderace?

For Eevee: what's your favorite attack? (Example: Thunderbolt)

for Ren (If he wants to answer): Who Is your favorite Pokemon?

For Prof. Cerise (If he wants to answer): How come you act differently from your daughter?

Goh: I would hurt whoever's forcing me to hurt the person I love!

Ash: Daisies! They're yellow, like Pikachu!

Chloe: Oh, it's a toss-up between Glaceon, Sylveon, Umbreon and Espeon. They're all very graceful, don't you think?

Though Sylveon looks like it would have a lot of trouble with those ribbons of theirs...

Pikachu: (I wouldn't dream of it! Anyway, my favorite attack is, of course, Thunderbolt. You better not say I'm basic because of that!)

Grookey: (Of course! Is dad an bro! Dad an bro time best! 💞)

Prof. Cerise: It's because I wasn't present in her life and am a failure as a father 😭

Ash: Don't worry, Professor Cerise, I think you're a cool dad! Very hardworking

Cerise: Thanks, Ash 🥲

Pokemon Journeys Character Partnerships

No guys, this is not about shipping. The word “partnerships” doesn’t always equate to shipping, ya crazies.

Putting the Pokemon and Team Rocket aside, let’s look at Pokemon Journeys’ primary human cast. We got six characters (with good intentions), with Ash, Goh, and Chloe being the main characters and Professor Cerise, Chrysa, and Ren being major side characters. I mean, it makes sense as per usual anime tradition; the first three are young trainers and the last three are apparently what keeps the Cerise Lab functional, which is pretty much the main hub for this series.

And yet, even with all these characters, many of their interactions are severely limited.

As of now when I’m writing, over half of the episodes have only featured Ash and Goh working together, with only about three episodes of all three main trainers traveling together and Chloe barely getting any alone time with any of the boys at all. You can easily see this issue by looking back at my review for Episode 67 where I criticized how almost every filler episode focuses on just Ash and Goh getting involved with the episode’s plot, and yeah, it’s also a problem for non-filler as well. Like remember when Goh released his White Flower Floette? As shoehorned the emotion of that scene was, wouldn’t it make things a bit more heartwarming if Chloe was there with Ash to support Goh on this decision? Ignoring Raboot who came to Goh, Floette was the first Pokemon Goh ever had to release, so wouldn’t having his childhood friend be there with him make more sense?

Speaking of the fact that Goh and Chloe are childhood friends, what really bugs me is that they barely have any alone time together. The only few moments I can think of them interacting alone would be the first few episodes before Goh got completely accustomed to Ash and Episode 49 where they went to school together, but even that was pretty limited since Goh was mostly used to distract the scientists away from Chloe so that she could keep Eevee safe. And then Episode 57 kind of implied that she doesn’t like to spend too much time with her own childhood friend because she’s afraid he’ll just condescend her for her lack of knowledge of Pokemon compared to his. That’s honestly pretty shallow. Goh and Chloe are both new to being trainers, at the very least compared to someone like Ash or Cerise, so it would make a lot more sense if they developed their experiences together.

And why can’t Ash and Chloe have an episode together? Something like that could finally make a friendship between the two seem passable and hopefully drop out Chloe’s own shallow view of him.

At the very least Chloe is helping Chrysa get some development with the two hanging out and talking about Pokemon on a few occasions, but that also makes Cerise and Ren even more dull and lifeless by comparison. Honestly, interactions with other characters could actually give those two characters some actual, distinguishable personality traits and, yeah, I think we all know Ren could use some of that.

Maybe since Chrysa is having so much “girl time” with Chloe, maybe that should motivate Ren to have some “guy time” with Goh, perhaps helping Goh find more electric types or help him with some homework. (seriously, even though Goh can apparently have all the excuse notes / makeup work in the world to skip school, I’m pretty sure he can be easily classified as ‘truant’ since we’ve only seen him at school for one episode and even then he pretty much skipped the entire day due to Eevee) Perhaps he should’ve been the one who got caught in the big Gulpin ball with Goh instead of Ash considering the two already spend too much time with each other as it is.

Yes, Ash and Goh are friends and friends spend time with each other, but not 100% all the time, people. By that note, Goh and Chloe are also friends, so what’s your argument for the two barely having any episodes together while Ash gets all the time in the world with him?

And going back to Cerise, maybe we could get more character out of him instead of him being just a bland direction-giver most of the time. I’ve said this before, but Cerise’s only real gimmick can be summed up as this: “Hey, u 3 idiots, go to dis place cuz im too lazy on my ass to go to it myself”. Yeah, real interesting character, people.

I mean it when I say that I often forget Cerise is even Chloe’s father. Since Chloe is now becoming a trainer, instead of having Ash, Goh, or Chrysa do all the work in helping her develop, shouldn’t Cerise have some say in this as well? Maybe, as a parallel to Kukui letting Ash catch Rockruff, he could permanently put Yamper under her care, knowing it would help the doggo grow more to the point of even evolving. Or perhaps we could get an episode solely focusing on Cerise and what he does at the lab, finally putting out an excuse on why he doesn’t just go to the places he sends Ash, Goh, and Chloe to himself. Maybe he’s working on expanding the lab and finding new additions to it in order to make it more beneficial to the ever-growing number of Pokemon Goh keeps adding to it.

And let’s be honest, since Professor Cerise already sucks enough as a character, so not giving him any focus could easily lead him to be one of the most bland, boring, and annoying character the anime could ever have to offer.
