#yes he is named after Ash Ketchum

[anxietypossumart]

Sticking with Adorbs (my alola trainer) team

My baby boy Ash

[pokemon-ash-aus]

So what's the Celebi au?

How bout i throw in some writing?

And visits his friend Delia who, somehow, is just much more somber these days

She gets visits from kids that visited her once and she somehow sweapt them under her wing

And then theres this Pikachu

He's waiting for someone and no one knows who

Everything in the world changes

But subtly

Legendaries are off the radar, not a single false sighting in sight

And these unknown, uncatchable pokemon just wander the ranch, theyre an odd group

Pokemon of different species, different regions, different types

Are sticking together for no reason that the Professor could tell

Professors from different regions, easily recognize the starters/pokemon they used to care for

But no one knows how they got there

Theres one day, two years after that, that Ash comes back

Because Legendaries are forgetful, they never return the memories to Ash's loved ones

The Professor wakes up to see this black haired kid wandering around, he looks vaguely familiar, but the professor shakes it off

"Excuse me, young man." The professor calls and the boy turns far too quickly. "This is private property, please leave immediately."

"Professor Oak?" if the Professor wasn't famous, he might have tilted his head.

"Young man, i will not warn you again."

The boy startles, as if confused, but quickly clambers over the fence and wanders closer to him.

He can see bright brown eyes and scarred cheeks. The boy was young, probably ten years old at most.

Ah, he must have been a new trainer, of course, the professor must have forgotten

"Come along young man, we need to head to the lab."

The kid walks by his side, staring at the ranch and pokemon.

"Professor?"

"Yes yes, i will set you up with your new pokemon shortly, please be patient."

The boy looks at him far too quickly, eyes wide and peaked in alarm.

"Wha- no Professor i was wondering if you've seen my mom." the boy pulls away standing by his side. "Ketchum, remember??"

He freezes, and stares at the boy. The only Ketchum he knew of was Delia Ketchum.

And as far back as he could remember.

Delia never had any family.

But the Ketchum kid looks determined, as if he knew he was in the right.

"The only Ketchum in this town at the moment is Delia." the Professor Breathes. "And shes never had any children."

The boy starts again, his whole body freezing in place.

Was this a ploy?

"But...It's..I'm Ash...Remember me? You gave me a Pikachu about 2-3 years ago?" The boy, Ash, pleads. "You reprimanded me for about ten minutes for being late? Pikachu was considered disobedient?"

The old Professor tilts his head.

"I've never sponsored any trainer named Ash, I'm afraid you must have your professors mixed up."

And the boy deflates, he doesnt seem to understand any implication of whats going on. Regardless, if he was a trainer, like he claimed to be, he must have some sort of record in the system.

"Again, lets head into my lab, i can help you find some things out if need be."

Ash looks ready to argue, ready to fight tooth and nail for something that was false. But he deflates and just nods.

What a strange boy.

The walk up the long trail of stairs in quiet, he can clearly see Delia's car hanging around the corner, she must be tending to the infantry at the moment.

And there, sitting at the top of the stairs, is that mew damned Pikachu.

The mouse is violent, he absolutely hates having anyone be near him, but hes also determined to stay and sit in the places people need to move in and out.

The only good thing is that the Pikachu wont attack unless you try to pick him up.

But the mouse looks angry, irritated at the moment, which means someone must have tried to move him.

He heaves a sigh, holds an arm out to stop the kid from moving.

"Come on, lets move closer to the left."

But the boy grabs his arm and gently lowers it, eyes never leaving the mouse.

"It's Pikachu!"

And with that, the old Oak is certain that the boy has never seen one before.

"Yes," He bites back sarcastically. "Hes got quiet a shocking personality, we need to steer clear of- HEY!"

The boy walked past him, rushing up the stairs to Pikachu. And like clockwork, the mouse is on four, snarling and sparking at Ash.

And the boy slows down, at least the kid had a touch of Common sense.

"Pikachu... Its me."

"Kachu!" it was strange seeing the interaction, it seemed odd to see something like this happen.

But the crushing look on the boys face seemed to just...Ennunciate even more.

"I...Ash...Satoshi? Member?" Ash takes another step forward, and Pikachu steps back. "You're friend?"

And Pikachu snarls, sparks beginning to fly off his coat.

Professor Oak can see his interns and Delia peak out the open windows, staring intently at the scene before them all.

From what he can see, not a single person recognizes the boy.

"PIKACHU!"

"Your name is Pikachu " The boy states the glaringly obvious. "You've never been apart of a clan before, you know Thunderbolt, thunder, electroweb, iron tail, double team, agility, electro ball, tackle and volt tackle."

Now everyone is startled, the only move they have ever seen Pikachu use was Thunderbolt. It would have been impossible for Pikachu to learn all those moves without a trainer.

And yet

The electric crackles stop, as the mouse looks on in stunned disbelief.

And Ash continued.

"You're naughty by nature, your ability is static that you never use cause you think its cheating." Ash presses on. "You love Ketchup and your favorite berry is Sitrus. You hate being confined in any space alone, so pokeballs are the worst and you've never ever been in one after being caught. You're favorite curse word is the F-word and you would much rather battle then be paraded around as a pet."

And Ash kneels onto the stair, far closer to Pikachu then anyone has ever gotten.

And just like that

Pikachu steps forward.

Theres small gasp that echo the area, including his own but Ash and Pikachu stay locked onto each other.

"Pi...Pikachu?" another step forward.

When Oak turns to focus on Ashzl, the boy is shaking. Shoulders very vaguely quaking.

"Yeah bud," Ash pauses to clear his throat for a second. "We've been partners for a long while... Im...Im sorry."

He expects Ash to whip out a pokeball to recall Pikachu, but instead he stays in his spot.

He does lean forward, and it takes a bit for the old Professor to realize that the boy was begging for forgiveness, not in a way he'd ever seen before.

"Pi....Pika..." And Pikachu crawls forward to bump heads against Ash.

Theres a bit of a broken sob, and Ash looks up, lays a hand against the mouse cheeks and just brokenly laughs.

And to his surprise.

Pikachu tears up too.

The mouse's eyes begin to clear, soft brown finally peaking from the angry black everyone is so used to. His tiny paws reaching up to grip onto the boys face.

"Pikapi." and the sob deepens from Ash's throat.

Like a spell that was supposedly there, Pikachu ears perk, his zig zag tail wagging ever so slightly. But the sudden lip quivering turns into broken laughs and cheers from the electric type.

"Pikapi, Pikapi Pikapi!" He chants, slamming head first into Ash's shoulder.

And Ash laughs, tears rushing down his face.

Something the Oak never expected to see. Was that angry mouse crawl all over a child, a stranger, so happily in minutes, when he was ready to bite any other child he had come to know.

"I'm sorry, im sorry, i really...I just..Im sorry!" Ash cries, fianlly managing to grip Pikachu tightly in his arms.

"Pikachu!" and with a raise of their paw, Pikachu bops Ash harshly on the head. "Pika chu, Pikapi!"

"But i-"

"Chuuuu!"

"bu-"

"CHUUUU!"

And with a small electric bolt, Ash is laughing.

"Okay. Okay, i promise."

And finally Pikachu looks far happier

"Chaaa!!"

(I also have a part with Pikachu but this is long enough :) )

Sent out to find that one blonde man and my sister figure; chapter |

i'm so sorry for the title, but this is the fanfic y'all been waiting for! The first chapter is here! Although we're reading in the perspective of another certain someone 👁️, enjoy!

UPRIGHT: Manifestation, resourcefulness, power, inspired action

REVERSED: Manipulation, poor planning, untapped talents

Volo had found a new customer in obsidian fieldland.

From afar he could only make out the tanned skin and Raven black hair, maybe a glimpse of amber eyes, he was collecting Woods, for something.

Volo flinched when he saw a Pikachu jump on his shoulder only to see him play with it, the Raven haired boy laugh can be heard across the fieldland, it was Joy but.. something felt off, it

Sounded exhausted.

At Least that's what he thinks.

He was distracted until the boy saw him, stopping whatever he's doing and started walking towards him, Volo however seemed disturbed for some reason by the approach and almost stepped back before remembering the person who's approaching him was just a boy, a young teenager boy.

"Hello! You seem to be a merchant if I may guess?" The boy said energetically, it has been a long time since Volo sees someone who's very happy go lucky like this.

"Oh- yeah, I am Volo of the Ginkgo guild! I travel around Hisui to sell the best products!" Volo looked down at the teenager. Volo noticed the boy's eyes dimmed for a second once he said his name and Ash rubbed his own neck after, "I've never seen you around before, are you perhaps new?" He asks as he leans down a bit to the boy.

The boy laughed, the laugh was somehow polite like an old man, but this was a young teenager…

"My name is Ash Ketchum, nice to meet you, and yes I am indeed new." Ash explains,

"Ash ketchum huh?" Volo tested the name on his tongue,

"You can just call me Ash!" The boy smiled warmly, 

Volo looked around, there's no Professor Lavender, no adults, no one from the galactic corp. Why was this kid alone? "Say, what are you doing out here in the obsidian fieldland?"

"Ah.." Ash stayed quiet for a second, and then pointed towards the sky where the rift was created, he seemed to have the same situation warden ingo had, but he seemed to handle it well.

But why was he outside of the Jubilife village? Did they not accept him? 

(Volo would have felt guilty, if his plans weren't so close to succeeding)

That would be the most likely scenario, looking at the Pikachu on Ash's shoulder, it hissed at him, wary of him, Ash seemed to notice its discomfort, "ah ah, no Pikachu, no shocking people here." 

Volo was surprised to see that the Pikachu complied with a pout before jumping off Ash's shoulder, Volo looked down on Ash again, inspecting him.

Tan skin, Raven dark hair, although it's a bit Ashy, (heh, get it?) He was wearing the same clothes the Jubilife villagers were wearing, maybe it was given out of pity because he looked so young? Another thing that caught his attention was that this kid seemed to have a lot more scars than usual for a teenager, some even on his face.

Ash excused himself from Volo before returning back to where he was, there seems to be preparations for a tent for him to set on, another thing that Volo noticed was that Ash kept rubbing his neck as if something was bothering him, as if something was...there.

And there was that glance, the glance of dull eyes that just a second ago was looking at him with full glee and innocence as a young teenager chasing his dream,

For some reason

Volo doesn't feel like Ash is remotely close to a teenager.

He snatched his own attention away, reminding himself to not get distracted by him, besides, something was off about that kid.

Volo turned around and headed somewhere else, whatever could distract him from thinking about the kid, he ended up in cogita's place again, as expected.

"Oh? You seem to be different today." Cogita tells him, but Volo only groans.

"Yeah yeah, I just met someone new today" 

"Hm? Someone new? Is he the boy who was exiled from Jubilife by Kamado?" She says as she pours tea on two cup for the both of them,

"He was exiled?" Oh, that explains stuff.

"Ah yes," Cogita sighed, "the rumor has been spreading like wildfire, Kamado decided to exile a kid away because he was so open and too comfortable with his pokemon out of his pokeballs." She explains before taking a sip of her own tea, "Hm, too bland." Cogita muttered.

While Volo only looked at the table blankly with his unfocused eyes, pity filled his mind before he shivered at the thought of the kid's occasional dull stare at him when they encountered each other, "...Well he had a pokemon out in the open, an electric one, no wonder why." Volo grabbed one of the cups and chugged the tea.

It had gone cold while he was thinking, unfocused.

"Well, I'll excuse myself then." Volo stood up and looked towards the wild, 

"You're excused." Cogita smiled, and Volo only frowned at her calmness.

Volo expects that kid to be gone by the sunrise, gone to the Jubilife village not dead, they are still young, they need another chance.

But oh, how much this boy surprised him.

Rather than fleeting from them, this kid dares to collect pokemons as if they're friends, what the hell is this kid??? And then this kid DARED FOR HIS LIFE by joining Rei and Hikari into soothing one of the Alpha pokemons down.

Volo was beyond amazed by this development, in Such  s h o r t  time.

All while he's still trying to find all the plates of Arceus, this kid was something else; he was a Prodigy! The galactic team lost their chance with this random teenager who fell down from the sky.

Azure reunion - chapter 4

(Ao3)

"Go on, cum".

That was the only thing Misty was able to say before her lips closed around Ash's twitching cockhead. And a split of a second later, she felt the first pulse, together with a mighty roar from the Pokémon master as he came hard, flooding her mouth with a deluge of seed.

Misty felt the saLty, musky drink filling her mouth, overwhelming her senses, but she was determined not to lose a single drop of Ash's potency that kept coming with each jerk of his hips, his orgasm lasting far longer than she was prepared for.

But soon Ash heard an even more arousing sound as Misty began drinking his load, gulp after gulp, her eyes meeting with his again, which only prompted another, final wave of seed. And as if it wasn't enough, Misty finished her opening move with her tongue coating Ash's tip, ensuring that she got entirety of his powerful release.

With her lips still around him, she looked up, meeting his flabbergasted, wide-eyed expression,welcoming it with a satisfied smile.

"Not bad for a beginner, I thought you'd come the moment I-AAH!"

Misty couldn't finish her cocky taunt as Ash lunged himself to topple her to her back, his hands already on her thighs,while his lips sought hers.

"Uh, kinda yicky", he said after kissing her.

"You know you tell that to a girl that drunk your whole load, right?",she replied quickly, watching as his cheeks redden.

"Well, maybe I should do something similar…"

It was time for Misty to lose the ability to talk, as Ash unexpectedly suave proposition made words get stuck in her throat,letting only a quivering moan as he left a trail of kisses down her chest.

"If-if you want that-"

"YES, KISS ME THERE", Misty grabbed his black hair and pushed him further between her legs, paralysed by the second of fear that he might change his mind.

It took her a moment to realise how impatient she sounded, but by the time she did that, her lips were chanting Ash's name again as his fingertips slid between her folds collecting her liquid heat.

"L-looks like you're already pretty wet…", Ash smirked, marvelling at the afternoon sun reflecting in the droplets adoring her pink lips.

"That's what happens when you show up out all nowhere, all older and sexier, and surprise a girl who has been pining for you this all time…", Misty chuckled, trying to hide her jubilation at the sight of Ash Ketchum between her thighs.

"M-Misty, what should I-"

"Lick", she replied quickly, "And kiss. And suck. Just-just put your mouth o-aGH!"

She let out a sharp moan as Ash followed her words, his lips making contact with her pussy. His tongue lapped the juices between her folds, at first somewhat sheepishly, then with much more gusto, diving deeper with each lick.

But it was his grip on her thighs that made her shiver and moan more so that his tonguework. Ash might have been a novice when it comes to oral sex, but he certainly was a pro at sloppy eating… and the way he spread her legs exerting his dominance over her reminded Misty of countless meals they've had and the hunger with which he so often devoured Brock's meals after a day of adventuring. And the mere though of her pussy sharing that fate…

Misty let out a sharp cry as her back arched, and she pushed her crotch against his lips.

Ash wasn't sure what to do, but with Misty's fingers pointing, he quickly got the idea. From licking between her puffy folds, sampling each drop of her juices, served with her voice and thighs quivering, through gently sucking on them, it seemed he was hitting bulls-eye every time, even if Misty's hand in his hair had to correct him a few times.

She flex her legs against the blanket, arching her body as Ash's hands moved to her ass to support her, only fuelling her carnal desires. She babbled, moaning Ash's name, until his nose brushed her clit, sending a whole wave of pleasure and prompting her to point her thumb towards it.

"A-Ash! H-here!", she cried, mashing her finger against her delicate button.

"Do-do you want me to kiss it, or…"

"Kiss it, lick it, suck on it, just-just go to town on it!", she grabbed his hair and pushed his mouth against it, feeling his warm breath against her.

And next thing she knew, she was moaning whole incoherent tirades of praises towards him, as he licked her clit, responding to her list of commands. But only when he closed his lips on her, her realised why Misty has been so impatient…

The forest shook with her orgasmic cry that made her body tremble and twist before she became limp, leaving Ash with a present of her own in form a spray of her juices that coated his face, an effect neither he, nor the water-type trainer expected.

Misty collapsed onto the ground, her chest rising and falling with each aftershock of her orgasm, moaning her lover's name, before she met with his eyes again and the glazed face of his.

Though her legs were still shaking, Misty quickly jumped back to straddle Ash, her hands cupping his cheeks, her lips kissing his, sampling her own juices, as she hastened to positioned herself against his hard cock, while their kiss lasted and lasted.

But as his tip brushed her twitching folds, an important, if somewhat nagging thought crossed her mind, interrupting the desire that would have made her sank onto his cock already…

[forthedancingandthethriving]

"Yeah, Tulip.. she's been a little down in the dumps lately. That's why I decided to tag along today." SMG10 told Juliano, drawing Lily's attention.

She had decided to tag along to the Avatar meetup today, as Kidnap the Princess wasn't until next week, and everyone else was busy. Apparently, Lil Coding needed to help their dads with something. Aka, he was in trouble for something the night before and was being punished.

"Has she really?" Juliano hums, and Lily can see her grandpa (yes, she was also calling him grandpa) look in the direction of Tulip. She looks that way as well, seeing the mentioned Avatar with Ash, Pikachu, and Shantae. The group was by some engines connected to a slingshot, and with how Pikachu seemed excited, Lily could guess what was going to happen.

"Yeah.. apparently, it has something to do with her parents. She said something yesterday about her being an 'ideal heir'." SMG10 crosses her arms.

Lily hones in on that. She'd heard similar words before.

"Hm.. that doesn't sound too good. I'm guessing her home life was rough." Juliano frowns.

"Yeah.." 10 nods. "She's never told me the details, but I can guess." The SMG pauses before continuing. "And.. it's weirder that she's never told me her last name, too. I know she wants to protect 7 and I, but.. this is worrying me."

Lily narrows her eyes. This was sounding very familiar.

"Well.. I'm afraid that unless she speaks, none of us can really- ASH KETCHUM, DON'T YOU DARE LET PIKACHU USE THUNDERBOLT ON THOSE ENGINES!" Juliano's voice quickly took a scolding turning as he rushes to over to the three teens, with 10 jogging after him.

Lily thinks before texting her dad.

Well, it's not like she had anything else to do.

○●○

"You want to.. come hang out with me for a little bit?" Tulip blinks, surprised.

Lily smiles. "Yeah! I'm thinking of getting into engineering or being a mechanic.. so I thought maybe I could.. hang out with you? See what you do?"

Tulip thinks before shrugging. "If your dads are okay with it, then yeah! It'd be fun to have someone other than Nagging Nancy over there!"

SMG10 calls from the portal. "It's called worrying about my best friend's health!"

Lily smiles and holds up her phone. "I asked them and said as long as I'm not gone too long, I can hang out!"

"Sweet." Tulip grins. "Well, let's go!"

..

It was fun, hanging out with Tulip. Even though the teen typically drove like she was running from god, it was still fun! Lily had learned a lot from Tulip.

Though what she was more interested in was the older girl's family.

Seeing that the aforementioned Avatar and her Guardian had gone into a store, and trusted Lily enough to leave her in the van, she didn't know how much time she had. So she got to work.

Screenshotting what messages she deemed relevant, had info, anything. The young girl wasn't able to find any information on Tulip's last name, or her parents' last name, but she did find out their names.

Daisy, Tulip's mother.

Andrew, Tulip's father.

Archie, Tulip's older brother.

Anything else Lily would need, she screenshotted it and sent it to her number. Once she was done, she made sure to wipe the photos off of Tulip's phone, delete the texts and Lily's number, and just pray that 10 or Tulip wouldn't notice.

They didn't, thankfully, and when it was time for Lily to go home, they were kind and hoped to see her again. Lily hoped so too.

○●○

Tulip grips her pillow over her head. Even though her phone was on silent, Do Not Disturb, and everything, she could practically hear it ringing.

Tears well in her eyes. Couldn't her damn parents leave her alone?

A soft ding from the command box on the nearby counter catches her attention. Slowly, she lifts the pillow from her head and grabs it.

She smiles, seeing a message in a group chat for just the Teen Avatars. It took a lot of begging to their respective SMGs, but they had managed to get permission for a private group chat just between them all.

Ash: >Do you think if we used more engines, the catapult would have more power behind it?_

Tulip sits up and smiles.

The ensuing conversation thankfully made her forget about her silently ringing phone. The only noise being a sleeping SMG10's soft breaths and the gentle taps of Tulip's fingers against the command back.

○●○

"Lily, what are you doing?" Lil Coding frowns, peering at the laptop his sister was on. "You've been on that ever since you finished your schoolwork!"

"Well, with the school blown up because of Jeremy's science project, what else am I gonna do?" Lily shrugs, disregarding how her brother deadpans at her.

"Aw, c'mon, you've never been interested in the laptop before!" the Code Manifestation whines. He peers at the screen and narrows his eyes. "Wait, who is Andrew? Is this why you asked granpa Domain to mess with it so it could access other universe's internet?"

"Maybe." Lily narrows her eyes before her eyes widen, seeing an article.

Orpheus Transfer Co. embroiled in controversy after young daughter vanishes and older son causes ruckus at Ministry Building

She quickly clicks on the article, eyes narrowing. She reads it, not noticing Lil Coding also reading it.

A video has recently been released, showing Tulip Dellora Orpheus having an explosive fight with her parents, Daisy and Andrew Orpheus after it was revealed in the press that she was set to become the company's new owner and CEO over her brother, Archie Orpheus.

Archie Orpheus, after this fight, was recorded at the Ministry Office, shouting for one of the five Ministers to either come and talk to him or send the Prime Minister to talk to him. He was recorded as saying that he wouldn't hesitate to leak the 'exclusive trading documents' his parents had reportedly received.

This behavior was reported to be 'highly unlike the two', with Mrs. Orpheus stated that he did not know or understand why her daughter was acting the way she was. That, and the states her son had made were entirely false.

The young girl slowly looks at her brother. "She must have had a fight with her parents.. either before 10 and 7 landed, or after.. either way, that must explain why she always avoids the topic of her family."

Lil Coding frowns. "But then that brings up the question of what she's afraid of.."

"Her family hurting 10, 7.. even Captain Olimar, since she's grown to see him as a father." Lily explains, voice soft. "It's exactly like when my parents found me. I didn't do or say anything about you guys because I didn't want them hurting you."

"It's looking like they're corrupt, just like my mom and dad were." The child closes her eyes. "Her family has connections to the government, like mine did. I'm guessing these 'Ministers' are similar to Vice Presidents or Dukes. While the Prime Minister is probably the equivalent of a President, or a King or Queen."

Lil Coding nods before he raises a brow. "How do you know all this?"

"What do you think I did when locked up in that room?" Lily shoots back.

"Pfft- fair enough."

As the two chuckle, Lily can't help but worry.

This wasn't like when Nimbus had been in danger because of that Program, Leto. They couldn't step in this time. It was something Tulip had to do on her own.

The young girl only hoped the Avatar would realize that she had people she could rely upon.

Trans Ash and Brock

Ash Ketchum was in his home town of Pallet Town after winning the Pokemon League in Alola. Many friends and family were there to celebrate the victory. Ash's Pokemon were also there enjoying the event by resting, eating, playing, or entertaining guest. It took Ash a while but it was all worth it. Everyone was gathered around Ash who was giving a speech.

“This is the greatest thing to ever happen to me.” Ash said. “It was always my dream to become a champion and now I am one.” Everyone cheered. “I can't thank you all enough for sticking by me the whole way.”

“What are you going to do now?” May asked.

“I'm going to continue my journey and see new places, people, and catch more Pokemon. I may have won a championship but I still need to become a Pokemon Master. I'll do that no matter how long it takes me.”

“When you're old enough have you ever thought about settling down and start a family?” Serena asked with a blush though Ash didn't seem to catch that.

“I'd love do to that. But that's not for a long time. I want to focus on my journey now.”

“Maybe Jessie and James should do the same rather then continue to chase after Pikachu.” Cilan commented. Everyone laughed a bit.

“I think we'll be seeing them blast off for years to come.” Ash replied getting more laughs.

“Hey, Ash.” Brock said. “If you're not ready to settle down yet but know some older women who are just let me know.” However, Misty then took him by the ear dragging him away.

“Look's like you've never change.” Misty sighed.

Any girls here are welcome to marry my brother.” Bonnie said.

“BONNIE!” An embarrassed Clemont yelled.

“Anyway. I'm glad for you all supporting me throughout my journey. As you know a few days ago a rumor went around about me. That rumor was that I am trans. According to Gary Oak the rumor started from a few other guys who were also from Pallet Town like we are.”

“They are. The same ones who started when we did!” Gary yelled.

“Well, some of you already knew the truth so I'll go ahead and say it. The rumor is true. I was born a girl.” Several townsfolk looked around and whispered.

“My birth name was Ashley Ketchum. Not only did I want to be a Pokemon master but also a boy.”

A young Ashley was in the yard playing around. Delia was watching while also on the phone.

“Yes. Ashley just turned 5 not so long ago. She loves Pokemon more than anything and wants to be a trainer like her father. I just wish she had more friends. Her only friend is Gary Oak. Maybe they'll travel together when they're older. Maybe even date.”

Ashley was quite different though. She preferred getting rough over staying clean. One thing she wanted was shorter hair.

“Can I have a haircut, mom?”

“Why do you want a haircut?” Delia asked.

“I want it to look like Gary's. I hate it being long like this. It gets in the way all the time. When I'm a trainer that will distract me when I'm battling.”

“But if we cut it short people think think you're a boy.”

“I don't care!” Ashley pouted.

“Well, okay.”

She grabbed a pair of scissors and a comb and started cutting away. She didn't want it to be a copy of Gary's. It had to be different enough to give Ashley an image. After she was done she grabbed a mirror.

“How's this?”

“It looks great, mom! Thanks. I'm going to show Gary.” With that Ashley ran off.

Ashley also preferred boys clothes over girls clothes. So she got her mom to take her to a store to buy some.

“Remember, Ashley. We can't buy too much.”

'I know. Just a few so I don't have to wear dresses or shirts all the time.” Ash got a few clothes. His favorites were a yellow shirt that had a red stripe and some blue shorts. They weren't unique or anything but he liked them for it's simpleness. They were still boys clothes in the end.

One day Ashley and Gary were pretending to have a Pokemon battle in the backyard.

“All right, Bulbasaur!” Ashley yelled. “Hit it with a razer leaf.”

“Get in the safety of your shell, Shirtle! It will protect you a little.”

“It can't be protected from this. Bulbasaur use whirlwind on that sitting duck!”

“Good move, Ashley but it can't deflect this. Squirtle use body slam!”

“Hey! Your Squirtle can't know body slam yet!”

“Yes it can. My Squirtle is a special Squirtle because it's from my grandfather.”

“Professor Oak!” Ash whined.

“You two play nicely.” Professor Oak said barely paying attention.

“Looks like I win.” Gary gloated. Ashley rolled her eyes.

“Gary can I tell you something.”

“No rematches.”

“No, it's not that. It's just I've been thinking about my name. I don't like it. Can you call me just Ash instead.” Gary raised an eyebrow but nodded.

“Umm, sure. Why though?”

“I think I'm suppose to be a boy. But don't tell anyone okay.” Gary nodded again.

One day Ash was watching TV when a show about trainers came on. One segment was on a trainer named Brock.

“We'll here with 10 year old Brock of Pewter City. So Brock you want to be a Pokemon Breeder?” The boy nodded.

“Yes. Though a lot of people think I might have a shot at the gym one day. I got an Onix not to long ago and we're already best friends.

“And is it true you were born female?” Brock nodded again.

“I knew I was a boy for a while enough. So I changed my identity to that of a boy.”

“That's interesting.”

“If you're not busy later how would you like to go out out with me.” This made the reporter sweatdrop.

“Ummmm call me in 8 years.”

This got Ash thinking maybe she was actually a boy. After some hard thought he decided he was. He then told his mom.

“I'm not your daughter I'm your son. I'm not Ashley I'm Ash. Not only do I want to be a Pokemon master but I also want to be the perfect son too.”

“Oh, Ash.” Delia hugged him.

Back in the present Ash concluded his story.

“So it's all true. I was born a girl named Ashley but I'm now a boy named Ash. I have Brock to thank for that. If it wasn't for you I might have never truly found out.”

“I never knew, Ash.”

“Now you do. Thank you.”

“I don't know what to say but thank you.”

Ash sent up and shook Brocks hand. After mostly everyone left the two said goodbye.

“Thanks for that speech, Ash. If you never need anything I'll be there for you.”

“Thanks Brock. Same to you.”

“And seriously if you know any single women I'm available. Just tell them...” But before he could finish Misty pulled his ear again.

“Enough all ready!” Misty yelled as Brock yipped in pain making Ash laugh.

A 10-Year Old’s Journey Ends After 25 Years

I don’t normally talk about anime on Fly Pow Bye, but this news is too big not to talk about. Pokemon is a really long running series starring eternally 10 year old Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu on their journey to become a Pokemon Master. He’s been doing really well with that journey; just recently, he won the Masters Eight Tournament, and in news that went around the world, Ash has become a world champion. So, he’s world champion, does that mean Ash’s journey is over? At the end of the last episode of Pokemon Journeys, they revealed the answer.

There will be a special episode in a slightly different art style called The Distant Blue Sky next week, with the preview even telling the kids that, yes, Ash and Pikachu will be there. After that, an 11 episode miniseries regarding the final chapter of Ash’s journey to become a Pokemon Master will air in Japan starting on January 13th, 2023. This miniseries will be a part of Pokemon The Series: Ultimate Journeys in the US, justifying the word “Ultimate“ in the title.

Ash will go from region to region, reuniting with past friends and past Pokemon. I thought this was what Journeys promised, but I guess we’ll get that for real this time. Team Rocket will show up, so we can hope that this miniseries will be a good sendoff for them, too.

There will be a new series set in the region of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Paldea, but it will star two brand new characters. We know their Japanese names, Liko and Roy, but that’s it. Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly also appear in the promo shot. It’s a new exciting world for the Pokemon anime, and while there will be an empty spot in our hearts where two fashionable villains and their talking cat used to be, it is something to look forward to.

Dear people who act like i'm rude just because I dislike their fetish/sexual preferences. Sweetie, have you ever realized it's YOUR fault for posting this shit to begin with, if you or the person who commissioned this did not have such an insulting and specific fetish this would not have happened. I may have subscribed to you before and liked some of the stuff you produce but that doesn't mean I have to respect you. Did I look at it and comment? Yes, but only because it was in my feed. What goes into my feed is not my fault. Look, you lost me before with the obscure mobile app character tfs and Guilty Gear tf content (mainly because some people ruined that game 'franchise' for me) but normally that creepy clown fetishism stuff was just on the mature accounts nobody else sees and how do I put this…clown tfs are still fetishizing people who have that profession as a way to make a living and also yeah…i'm totally sure all clowns do talk like how people think cavemen talked and are constantly horny, look what these sickos do on lewd accounts is none of my buisness except when they are.

Rubber/latex pup play stuff, eeew. Naming an inanimate object after what he is, how clever and original. What's next, you're going to name a living toaster pastry Pastry? Are you going to name a dollsona dolly? Or a castle-sona castle? And here's a tip for you, DON'T fetishize child characters. Characters like Noddy, Pinnochio, Ash Ketchum are children for crying out loud, don't go making sexualized versions of them. It is fine to do Ash turning into a Pokemon, but not if it is overly sexual, look I used to like some pretty gross and risque things in the past but I am ashamed to like them. I used to like CYOC but the majority of the TF content on there is smut.

Or go ruining children's show characters by doing horny versions of them, look there's a rule on Furaffinity that forbids sexual art of child charcters, and I agree with that stance. Aren't you too old for toddler show characters anyway? I those characters some of these people do kinky art of - get a public domain horror movie treatment so that way they'd all be too afraid them to ever do fetish art of them again. And there are some children's show characters I consider too dear to be fetishized like Basil Brush, Roland Rat, the Backyardigans, Fireman Sam, any of the Wiggles, Danger Mouse, Robbie Rotten, Zippy and George are just a few of those.

And as someone who has been traumatized by rule34 before. Yes, this actually happened I was looking up Beauty and the Beast one time to find any pictures of Gaston and I acccidentally came across some rule34 of characters from that movie, yeah…Belle being uhhhh..'waxed' by Lumiere in his candle form, a porno version of the movie with the ending being Gaston nearly killing Beast with his 'maginificent hunting blade'. Can you blame me for not liking child characters that are beloved childhood characters getting fetishized? I saw that and I wish I didn't have to.

I saw a Donkey Kong tf 'off-brand' episode where Diddy and the rest of the Kongs got sexually violated. Mel told me all about this. Look it is fun to like weird TF content, I like weird stuff myself, horror characters, Tim Burton character tfs, real people, species from Star Wars.

Look I am just going to say this, it is fine to like weird tf content but please be mindful of others, and who cares about what i've done and said in the past apart from a bunch of no ones who think everything I do is bad. I 'oh noes, someone doesn't like clown tfs or people being turned into stereotypes' 'oh noes someone does not like weight gain', grow a backbone for once will ya? My opinions are different than yours, so what? I don't like Titanic or Forrest Gump but you don't see people going up to me and being all 'you hate one of the greatest movies ever?' 'You don't like Forrest Gump? What's wrong, do you hate Tom Hanks? Are you Tom Hanksphobic?'

I am sorry but if you don't like my opinion I am going to have to disagree and/block these kind of people, if you think that's hot that's fine, just don't expect me to agree with you.

New Nuzlocke Announcement!

So, here's a problem regarding myself. If I have the motivation to do it, then I would do it. If I don't, then I couldn't find any joy in it at all. But if I have a lot in mind, then that's asking for trouble. That's the same with Nuzlocke playthroughs. I planned to continue my FireRed Nuzlocke, but... Ever since I finished playing Pokemon Violet's main story, I'm thinking of starting another one, namely with Pokemon Violet. Well, there is Pokemon Sword, but that's another story.

Okay, for clarification, I will still do the FireRed Nuzlocke, but a bit delayed. But there are several reasons why I want to do a Violet Nuzlocke. One is that I never seem to put it down no matter what, especially when completing my Pokedex. And two, it's a bit of a dedication playthrough to a certain boy from Pallet Town.

As you already heard by now, a new Pokemon anime mini-series called "Pokemon: Aim to Be a Pokemon Master" will be released tomorrow in Japan by the time of this writing and it will be Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu's final chapter in the anime. After the mini-series is finished, Ash will retire as the main character and he will hand it off to two new main characters in the next. On one hand, I'm sad that Ash won't be continuing forward to the Paldea arc. On the other, it's been 25 years and the eternal 10-year-old kid already became World Champion or Monarch depending on dubbing. So yeah, I think Journeys and by extension, Aim to Be a Pokemon Master is a perfect send-off for Ash. I'm hoping that the two protagonists succeeding him will do justice where he left off.

So to celebrate Ash's last few months with us, I decided to start a Violet Nuzlocke and maybe Sword later down the road. If Ash won't be going to Paldea, then I might as well take his place and try to beat all the main story in dedication for him. And yes, when I said the main story, I mean all 3 storylines and the ending. Turns out, doing a Twitter poll about it will give only one vote and that vote goes to completing the WHOLE GAME EXCEPT POST-GAME! Ed Sheeran's Celestial flashbacks are coming back and it's not because it's sung by Ed Sheeran!

I'm still working out the rules other than the Classic ones and I may need some extra clarification help and suggestions, but I do want to add a few caveats since this is dedicated to Ash's swan song from the anime.

I'm adding what I call the "Ash Ketchum Clause". If I find a Pokemon that Ash already caught in previous seasons including Journeys, I can catch it regardless of the area I'm in already had an encounter. Of course, if I make it faint, then that's an encounter loss. So basically, some areas that have said Pokemon will have technically two encounters depending if they have that Pokemon available. However, I am allowed to evolve them.

So if I caught a Gible, I'm allowed to evolve it up to Garchomp despite Ash's didn't. However, if I encounter Gastly, it won't count toward the Ash Ketchum Clause and will be treated as a first encounter only because Ash never caught it before. He befriended Haunter and owned a Gengar, but never a Gastly. So that doesn't count. And that's the same with Pichu and normal Tauros.

Obviously, the Paldea Pokedex restriction is in effect along with Dupes Clause, so I have a limited amount of Pokemon I can catch in that list. And that's not even including other factors due to being the first open-world main series game of the series. Let's just say it might take a while for me to list all of the areas in my Notepad and I may start seeing shinies along the way.

As for the custom rules still ongoing for FireRed, I may plan to put it in, but only as the "Time Reversal Rule" because there is no way I can survive with all 18 rules set upon myself, including the 8 gyms!

I will put out the full rules of the Nuzlocke very soon, so stay tuned and let's enjoy what we have left with Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu. See you in Paldea, treasured friends!

Oops (Final Rose x Pokemon)

Diana had heard about this particular fishing spot from a friend of hers, so she was determined to try it out. However, she only had enough time to pull out her fishing rod before a trainer hurried over to challenge her.

“I challenge you!”

Diana blinked. “Listen, kid, do you know who I am?” That wasn’t normally something she’d say, but then again, it wasn’t often that she got challenged by someone who had very clearly only just begun her journey.

The girl scowled. “I don’t care who you are! I’m going to win! Now, do you accept my challenge or not?”

Behind the girl, her friend, another girl, was frantically waving at her to call off her challenge. Diana’s lips twitched. She might have noticed Charizard and Tyranitar, both of whom were a little ways down the dock with their own fishing rods. It was difficult to mistake them for anyone else since Charizard had his goggles hanging around his neck, and Tyranitar was wearing one of his cowboy hats.

“Stop!” the girl’s friend hissed. “That’s Diana Yun-Farron!”

“Who?” the first girl huffed. “Look, I don’t care if you’re famous or something. I’m going to become the world champion!”

“Fine.” Diana shrugged, politely skipping over the fact that she was the current world champion. She was never going to get any fishing done if she didn’t deal with this. She reached for one of her poke balls. “How many pokemon do you have?”

“One.” The girl proudly called out her Squirtle.

“Right...” Diana was actually starting to feel bad now. “Look, did you actually just run straight here after getting your starter?”

“So what if I did?” The girl wrapped her arms around her pokemon. “Squirtle and I are already best buddies! There’s no way we’ll lose!”

Diana sighed and called out her pokemon. Dracozolt appeared, and the hybrid fossil pokemon looked around for a moment before focusing on the Squirtle. He titled his head to one side and nudged Diana with his tail.

“Zolt?” He had a hard time believing that she’d called him out to fight a Squirtle, of all things, never mind a Squirtle who clearly lacked any sort of fighting experience.

“Yeah, she insisted on battling, so... yeah.”

The Squirtle meanwhile was staring in horrified awe at Dracozolt. The girl, likewise, had fallen completely silent as she finally seemed to realise just how much trouble she was in.

“Please.” The girl’s friend hurried forward. “Maybe pretend that she didn’t challenge you?”

Diana gave the first girl a wry smile. “That okay with you?”

“...” The girl nodded slowly. “Yes. Yes, it is.”

“Heh.” Diana shrugged. “Since you’re here, why don’t you come with me. I’ve got some extra fishing rods you can borrow, and you can each try to catch some extra pokemon. The ones around here are supposed to be pretty low level, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble.”

X     X     X

The girls stayed for a couple of hours, catching their first additional pokemon each, before going on their way. Diana managed to hook a few pokemon, but she tossed them all back. They didn’t have that special spark she was looking for. As she was about to pack up, she was challenged again, but this time, by someone a bit more suitable.

“You’re Diana Yun-Farron.” The boy grinned. “My name is Ash Ketchum, and I’d like to challenge you.”

“Is that so?” Diana grinned back. “Cynthia mentioned you. She said you’re pretty good.”

Ash scratched the back of his head. “I’m okay, I guess. It’s not like I beat her or anything.”

“She’s the Sinnoh champion for a reason, Ash.” Diana waved Tyranitar and Charizard over. “So... what do you have in mind?”

“A full battle,” Ash said. “Six versus six.”

“Sure.” Diana nodded. “Averia had some good things to say about that Pikachu of yours too.”

Pikachu smiled. “Pika!”

“Yeah, my sister isn’t one for flattery. If she says you’re interesting, you’re interesting.” Diana smirked and called out her first pokemon. She’d go first to let Ash have a chance to counter pick. “I guess I’ll start off with... Aegislash.”

Arceus's mark

[the title changed! Good news.]

<chap 2

Tw; throwing up, something in the throat like a bug.

"...oh" Ash lets out in amusement, he remembered what the plates he had gotten was for, he remembered why he was so uneasy to Volo, oh Arceus, he shouldn't have sent him into the past head first (literally), he was glad he didn't end up like Subway master ingo.

"Who?" Ash asked,

"Warden ingo," irida said, "i think you can help him with his amnesia." She looks worried.

Ash rubbed his chin for a second in an attempt to remember something."Ingo...why does that name sounds familiar- OH—"

Maybe he should request Arceus to send the man, Ingo, back to Unova, that poor man, his twin is probably ripping his own hair out.

Step step

He can hear someone walking towards his tent, he groaned, who is it this time?

"Hello? Sir ketchum, Are you there?" It was Cyllene, oh boy how glad was he when he realized it wasn't Kamado, he almost thanked Arceus but then remembered what the God of all had done.

Ash stood up and approached Cyllene, "What is the leader of the galaxy's team's survey doing here?" Ash softens, even though this is the ancestor of Cyrus, she wasn't as bad as he is.

"Ah, I'm just delivering a message from sir Kamado." She said,

Ash's soft demeanor quickly fell to ruins as he groaned in irritation, "ah, that man." Ash clicked his tongue and Cyllene raised an eyebrow before she gave Ash a letter.

"Oh, a quick message from Kamado." Cyllene cleared her throat, her face seemingly displeased and is saying; 'this is unnecessary' 

"Please do not interact much with the galaxy team members any further."

Ash was sure some of those words were simplified and watered down to a polite one by Cyllene, he can hear Kamado rambling about how much this random kid is affecting the galaxy team in his head, Ash thanked Cyllene and she bowed before leaving.

Right after that lightning strikes down and it starts to rain, he sees Cyllene panicking and running back to the Jubilife village, he quietly chuckles before frowning again, looking at the letter in his hand.

"Motherfucker." Ash cursed quietly before throwing the letter to the side of the tent, Kamado should really mind his own business, he has favored the galaxy team members for like 6-5 or even 10 Times and most of it was to collect some stuff in the obsidian land, if at this point Kamado is STILL not satisfied by him he would burn the whole Jubilife village out of pure spite if it weren't for his three favorite people in the village, Lavender, Rei and Akari.

And right when he's finally able to rest for a few second, he can hear screaming in the distance, and a pokemon's good stomping on the ground while rapidly approaching his tent, Ash gets up, opens his tent and;

"SHUT THE FUCK U— oh hey Akari, Rei, and..deer," he's guessing it's a noble pokemon deer,

Akari was at the front and Rei was at the back, they looked like they're about to cry, "Why are you guys out in the rain??"

Akari took a deep breath, "So we were in a hurry and wanted your help in calming the frenzied Electrode down!" She explains, oh that's why they were in such a hurry, well, At Least he'll have something to do.

"Alright alright." Ash sighed and whistled, soon a Rapidash zoomed towards them and slowly stopped near Ash, on Rapidash's back was Pikachu.

"pika!" Pikachu shouted.

While Rei and Dawn were still shocked at the fact that the fire didn't burn Ash.

Ash quickly got on Rapidash's back, and all of them started to travel towards the destination, "By the way where are we going and who are we meeting?"

"Coronet Highland then, we're probably gonna meet Warden Ingo first so we can Ask the Noble pokemon lady Sneasler to help us reach Electrode" Akari tells him and Ash can't help but almost be confused by all these titles.

"I just don't want to see Melli's face there." Rei frowns.

"Ah yes, Melli, he's interesting." Ash chuckled while scratching the back of his neck, before telling Rapidash to go faster, "come on, we have no time to lose!" He laughs.

"WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THIS IS A FLIMSY MATTER!?" Dawn shouted in disbelief as Ash sped off from them, "ASHHH!" she called.

The rain slowed down, and turned into snow as they approached the Coronet Highland.

The change didn't bother Ash, rather it was inconvenient for his clothes, it's starting to get cold now, well at Least he's grateful that Arceus gave him a lot of clothes for the trip in Hisui, Although most of it comes in his color aka white colors and decorated with gold, he hid the ones with gold because of course it'll be suspicious for a newly arrived outsider to have fancy clothing like those.

He gets off Rapidash, Along with Dawn (Akari) and Rei who guides him to Ingo, and Ash can't help but think, 'what happened to this guy while I was gone???'

They talk for a while before Melli comes up, causing Rei to lose all his energy in a second, whining about why exactly he's here, and then Melli goes on and try to convince them that the frenzied Electrode was … a blessing from the almighty sinnoh.

It took Ash's whole willpower to not pull up his newspaper and slap Melli with it, don't ask why he has a newspaper he just does, Ash cursed in Unovan under his breath and Ingo can't help but snap his head towards Ash when he said it.

"Listen, Melli, you either let people die from that frenzied Noble pokemon of yours or let it and all of us have a peaceful life." It took another hour to argue with Melli to convince him to let them calm the frenzied Noble down, He scoffs and lets them enter the cave.

If he wanted to he would have fisted Melli right then and there and give him a lesson if it weren't for his reputation, "Pikachu, light up the room." And Pikachu obliged.

"Pika pika..chupi." Pikachu whispered as electricity lit up the cave.

"Soon, Pikachu, soon." Ash grunts.

Akari and Rei were amazed by Pikachu's ability and started to ask Ash how he did it, "It's a passive ability in most pokemon that can create light out of electricity or other types, come on let's go." Ash explains briefly before speeding up his pace.

Although they slowed down after a few minutes, Ingo started to talk to Ash and they had a very interesting talk, Ash mimicking the way he talks in an attempt to make him remember something and then explaining the words he doesn't remember the meaning of, unfortunately they arrived at the other side of the cave.

They end up meeting Melli again and the twin groans in irritation, Ash however steps up to battle with Melli, Melli was so prideful that Ash was probably really motivated to sweep out his whole team with one Pikachu.

Well he did.

And seeing Melli's face redden from embarrassment was so satisfying for the whole group, "THAT'S FOR UNCLE INGO!" Rei yelled and all the head snapped towards him before he realized what he just said, Akari patted him on the back while he covered his face with his palm from shame as they continued to walk towards the destination. 

Ingo, who can't smile however, seemed happy when Rei called him that, Ash guess he's also feeling a sense of familiarity because Rosa called him uncle once in Unova and it embarrassed her so much if Ash remembered correctly.

When they were in the ruins Ingo started to give a history lesson to all of them, Ash nodded while he was listening even if he knew about it, patting his white kimono and pants off of the snow before abruptly stopping at the familiar step noises.

Ash slowly turned his head around to see who it was, and the dreaded feeling was confirmed, and his hand instinctively reached the base of his own neck.

Volo, GODDAMMIT TROUBLE MAGNET GENES.

Ingo asked him what he's doing here, but Volo then starts to trail off from the topic and explains that he's wondering on what's the other side of the rift.

"Why? It's not like you're gonna go and sell your products there." Ash said to Volo,

"If I could, I would." Volo crosses his arms,

Ash was definitely holding the urge to slap him with one of Arceus's plates right then and there.

After a while they had to depart and they finally arrived but they had to wait for lady Sneasler, Ingo explained about her hidden move to climb but Ash didn't pay attention to his explanation, and only explained the words the twins didn't understand that was said by Ingo.

But the experience after the explanation was what caught Ash's attention, Ingo offering a battle to the three of them, Ash however has another idea.

Telling him that they can do a double battle because there are enough people there, he was confused at first but caught on quickly, and then Ash had to explain it to the twin before they got in the battle.

It was easy to say the least, but however Ingo seemed very pleased about it, subconsciously saying bravo as a congratulations and then calling for Emmet, Ash felt pity at that moment.

He was..searching for Emmet, he doesn't even remember who he is still but he knows how important Emmet is and knows he's a family and—all the memories still haven't recovered, but..most of them did, not in great detail although, but enough for Ingo to understand the basic but not explain in full detail.

He knows most of the meaning of the modern word he said now, Ash impulsively makes a pulling movement with one of his hands and Ingo whistles something like a train noise, Akari perked up a little bit but Rei...was still confused but amused.

And then Lady Sneasler arrived, with a basket on her back, eager to put one of the teenagers in it.

Her attention was stolen by Ash who forgot about something, the mark on his neck, it's visible to all of the pokemons, it shines like Arceus's golden thing on Arceus's waist...just that it's like a prickling light surrounding around his neck, but unable to be seen by regular humans who haven't encountered Arceus.

She grabs him despite his attempt at running away from her and carries him first up the mountain before catching Akari and Rei who was dumbfounded because Lady Sneasler was running to Ash while he tried to escape like he owed her thousands of money, when Ingo asked her why she wanted to carry Ash first she only replied a voice, Ingo had a feeling it was...supposed to be: "it is my duty to serve him."

They meet Melli again who wants a rematch and Ash kicks Rei into the battlefield, Rei looks back at Ash in betrayal before absolutely wiping Melli's pokemons off the battle ground, Ash grinned at (his student's) Rei's strength.

And then Melli drops the bomb that he won't tell Electrode's favorite food and now they can't fucking calm the frenzied pokemon down, Ash was about to jump on Melli but then Adaman appeared and told them their favorite food, BLESS THE LORDS AND ARCEUS, only for this time, come to think of it, he doesn't interact much with Adaman.

Melli whines to Adaman while Ash has a smug face from victory, but it is short lived because Adaman kept staring at Ash with a strange look and Ash can only act like usual, he had to guide Rei and Akari in how to move constantly without getting hit too many times, well Akari and Rei are used to it because they catch pokemons for Professor Lavender.

"MOVE!" Ash screamed as Akari barely dodged an electric ball, Ash grabbed Rei's whole body and threw him to the side with sheer strength before jumping to the side, he hit his left leg but it's okay, he's alive, Rei was a bit flabbergasted at how easily Ash carried him in those few seconds.

All of them were on the ground when the frenzied noble was calmed down, Ash was however hovering down while still standing, breathing heavily and coughing a lot, he got hit by the electricity a lot of times but it was worth it in the end. (Besides, he was immune to Electric types if he must say.)

Nope, it wasn't.

Anyways, Ingo came back and started explaining about his memory returning, about trainers and humans living comfortable with pokemons.

After that they all head back to their respective ways and home, Adaman although followed Ash because he piqued his interest so he offers to accompany Ash back to his camp, and Ingo who noticed this also offered to do it, and then the twins decided to follow him too, Ash wanted to refuse it at first but he was too tired to refuse and argue so he just lets them do whatever they want.

Ash can't help but breathe heavily, he was tired, he was exhausted, and the Mark on his neck was fading dim.

Adaman tried to have a conversation with Ash but Ash can only tell him briefly about any topic, he doesn't like to linger long on one topic, 

Unexpectedly, Ash was starting to wheeze, his friends already in front of the path and Adaman was asking if he was okay, but he couldn't hear it, and then he felt something sickening.

He tensed before leaning off his Rapidash, ending up with him falling down to the ground with a loud 'thud', he was trying to get something to get out of his throat, something was in there- something- it was crawling all over until he couldn't breathe, he scratched his neck intensely before he started gagging.

The noises calling his name were a blur, everything was a blur, and something reached the top, and he opened his mouth.

A bunch of mixed liquid came out of his mouth, but most of it wasn't liquid,  it was a sizzlipede, a pokemon from the Galar region, he doesn't know why it came out and how it even got there.

What he does know is that Centipede pokemons are a hint of Giratina, a mark of Giratina.

Ash can feel the consciousness drain for him rapidly as his eyesight faded in and his body gave up as he fell to the side of the ground.

One last thought before he was fully unconscious was that he wanted Arceus to strengthen his protection on him so that this doesn't happen again.

Or maybe curse Volo because this was probably his doings.

Grand Festival Showdown

The Miraculous gang as Pokemon trainers. All of them are the same, but their dreams have all been modified to include pokemon. Kagami, Kim, Alix, and Ivan are all battlers. Marinette, Adrien, Luka, Nino, Chloe, Nathaniel, and Lila all do contests. Juleka, Rose, and Mylene all do showcases. This all takes place in the Sinnoh Region.

Includes my favorite Lila Salt as well as Alya Salt.

My original characters are included in this story as well. Lyon being a champion grand coordinator, Vallia being a pokemon nurse in training, Apollo is a contest contestant, Mason being a gym leader, and Lena is a friend to the twins.

This is a long one, about 6000 words, so buckle up people.

*****

If there was one thing that Adrien loved, it was competing in pokemon contests. Since his father usually forced him to model for his fashion company, he appreciated the beauty that he saw in the pokemon that his father made matching outfits of for the photoshoots. And from watching the Pokemon League on television, he definitely also knew that they had power. So contests were the perfect blend of how he saw pokemon as the beautiful and powerful creatures that they were.

Not that his father even knew that he participated in them. Gabriel Agreste wanted his son to be a proper heir to Gabriel Pokemon Fashion. And that did not include anything involving contests, battles, or even showcases. He forced him to do all kinds of photoshoots, had him model with humans and pokemon alike, not to mention the fact that he would not have gotten his starter pokemon had he not sneaked out of the house. But he did it anyway, and his adorable Turtwig had managed to evolve into a Torterra.

But if there was one mistake that Gabriel made, it was letting him have lots of privacy. There may be cameras outside his bedroom door, but none inside of his room. That certainly helped when he had to sneak out to meet his friends, capture more pokemon, train his pokemon, or compete in a contest that was nearby. Plus, he also was able to sneak away to contests that were in the same town as a photoshoot that he was doing. He just had to lie and say that he was staying in his hotel room for a few hours. His life may have been mostly controlled, but that did not mean he was not sneaky when he was getting what he wanted.

Since contests were televised, he did have to keep his father from finding out. So he donned a disguise. He became Cat Noir, a mysterious pokemon contest prodigy that no one knew the real name of.

Only three people knew about his second life as Cat Noir. His best friend Kagami, who shared the same type of sheltered life as he did but she preferred battles to contests, and his other two friends Lyon and Marinette. Lyon is one half of a set of twins, his sister currently working under a Nurse Joy in order to become a pokemon doctor, and he was already a top coordinator back in his home region of Kalos. Marinette is a coordinator like him and also came from the Kalos region like Lyon, but she is usually shy and also has desires to become a pokemon fashion designer.

He had met Kagami during one of the social events they were both forced to attend by their parents. They got along great and both had the same desire to be free. If they were in the same town, which happened more often than one would think, they would often use each other as an excuse to sneak away for a gym battle, contest, or training with their pokemon. He met Lyon by chance when he had been training and his Turtwig almost hit the Top Coordinator with a razor leaf gone wild. Lucky for him that Lyon was a lot more down-to-earth than one would expect from a person with as much success as him while he was so young. Marinette, being a fellow coordinator, had been at a contest which she had lost to him. She had seen him take off his Cat Noir mask and recognized him from his father's magazines. She had been a great friend to him and understood why he used the mask.

There were few things that could actually make him smile so carefree other than contests. His constant photoshoots, dealing with stuck-up models, and his seemingly careless father did not make him smile that way. He hated modeling and even though he loved being all the pokemon that he modeled with, he wanted to see pokemon just as free as he wanted to be. He wanted to be famous for working hard like legendary trainers Ash Ketchum, Gary Oak, and Steven Stone. Or coordinators like Fantina, Wallace, and Zoey.

But he was now was at the top pokemon contest of the Sinnoh region. The Grand Festival. He had earned his ribbons and now Cat Noir was at his first Grand Festival. What he looked forward to most of all was that he knew that Kagami was going to be in the audience, Lyon was a special guest, and that Marinette was also competing.

He did not like the idea that he might have to battle his friend at some point, but these things do tend to happen. Especially since he was also aware that other friends of his had also made it to the Grand Festival. They had all attended the same pokemon school before it was time for their journeys to begin. He knew his friends Luka, Nathaniel, and his childhood friend Chloe were also all competing.

So, he was just getting ready backstage before all of them would have their qualifying performances before the battle rounds started. He was in his Grand Festival outfit of a black suit with green details, a black and green coat with a cape-like back, shiny green dress shoes, "cat claw" gloves, his signature cat-eye mask, and fake black cat ears on his head.

"My, my, don't you look fancy," Adrien heard near him.

The model almost jumped out of his skin but calmed down when he saw that it was just Lyon. And from looking at him, he definitely saw why people called him the White Wolf.

Lyon was in an icy outfit that almost gave him the illusion of having his own ice powers. He had on a fancy white vest over a blue short-sleeve silk shirt. It matched the white pants that he wore with his shin-high blue boots. He also wore a white hooded cloak with snowflake designs all over it. On his lower arms were silver arm-band bracelets with snowflake and wolf designs on them. His midnight-black hair also had fake wolf ears in it.

"Oh, Lyon," Adrien let himself breathe again. "For a second, I thought my identity had been discovered."

"Well, you may need to get a little better at hiding when you change," Lyon chuckled. "If you win and become Top Coordinator, the press will be even more ruthless with trying to find out your identity."

"I deal with the press on a regular basis already, Lyon," Adrien reminded him.

"Yeah, but I can tell you from experience that when it comes to being a Top Coordinator, people pay more attention to us," Lyon said.

"Well, I can see why that would happen with you," Adrien not-so-subtly flirted with him.

"Careful, kitty," Lyon teased him. "Wouldn't want the wolf to eat the cat before his big performance."

Adrien chuckled, always having liked how they could always joke around with their chosen performer names of cat and wolf. There were so few people that he could act like himself around and he certainly enjoyed Lyon's company.

"So, you here as just a special guest or also as a surprise judge," Adrien asked him.

"My dear Cat Noir, now that would be telling," Lyon smirked as he teased the teen coordinator.

"Oh, thank Arceus that I found you," they both heard a female voice.

They both turned and saw Marinette running toward them. Lyon recognized her from pictures that Adrien had sent him and of course, Adrien would recognize his best friend even if she was decked out in her Grand Festival dress. Probably a dress of her own design as well.

She was in a beautiful dress that was in a ladybug design with a little pink mixed in. It was a knee-length dress that was mostly red with black spots all over it. Under it was a crinoline that was colored pink that helped her dress by more poofy. The sleeves of her dress were elegant bell sleeves that ended at her elbows and lower arms instead of her wrists. Her hair was also extended and placed into a long ponytail coming from the top of the back of her head with roses tied where the ponytail started. On her feet were red wedge-heel boots that went up to her knees.

"How you can run in those heels is beyond me," Lyon said.

"Especially given that one of the first things that you told me about yourself was that you are extremely clumsy," Adrien added.

"Well, I was running with a purpose," Marinette said.

"That purpose being to find one of us if what you had said means anything," Lyon says.

"It's about Adrien, or rather Cat Noir really," Marinette said.

"Oh, great," Adrien sighed, having expected the fame of his mysterious identity to cause some type of drama at the Grand Festival.

"Do you remember when I was telling you about that liar, Adrien," Marinette asked him.

"Yeah," Adrien nodded. "Lila is what you told me her name was. The girl that lies with every breath she takes and has an ego bigger than a Wailord."

"Well, she somehow got her five ribbons and is going around telling people that she knows who you are," Marinette tells her friend.

"What," Adrien's eyes widen.

"Not just that," Marinette continued. "She is also saying that she is dating you and you're apparently head over heels for her."

Adrien could not help but facepalm when he heard that.

"Here comes the headache that I did not know was going to happen," he groaned.

"Here's some aspirin," Marinette gave Adrien the medicine. "I thought that if the liar managed to get here, I would need some myself. I've already had three headaches because of her. And that is just today."

"Am I missing something," Lyon asked.

"Yes," Adrien said before popping the medicine into his mouth.

Marinette rolled her eyes as she took the liberty of explaining.

"Lila Rossi is a pathological liar that I ran into after I won my first two contests," she says. "At first, I had believed her tall tales until she said that she knew the designer for Jagged Stone and Clara Nightingale."

"MDC," Lyon raised an eyebrow. "As such a private designer, I highly doubt that a random girl would know her. Especially if she is bragging about it to anyone that will listen to her."

Marinette nodded. "Exactly. So I then immediately knew that Lila was nothing but a liar. Especially since she said that MDC is a boy when anyone with common sense, and access to the internet, know that MDC's only given clue to who she is that she is a she."

"Yet, people actually believe her," Lyon put a hand on his hip.

"As I said, she is a pathological liar," Marinette says. "One that uses people's knowledge to make her lies sound realistic. Like how my friend Rose is friends with Prince Ali, and my boyfriend Luka is Jagged Stone's son, and even how Adrien is Cat Noir. Lila uses people's own experiences to give her lies credibility. Like a situation of 'if I can know celebrities then so can she."

"Weirdly enough, I can see how that makes sense," Adrien said.

"What can we do about her," Lyon asked. "Can we just have Adrien call her out as Cat Noir?"

"Since Adrien has to keep his identity a secret, she could just pull out another lie about him protecting her or that they got into a fight," Marinette said. "It's how she explained when MDC posted on social media that she had never met Lila before."

"This is gonna be a disaster, isn't it," Adrien guessed. "There is no way someone like how you describe Lila would go down without a fight."

"She may be lying, but won't she lie herself into a corner," Lyon asked. "Especially if 'Cat Noir' actually does enter a relationship."

"The problem is the damage that she can cause along the way," Marinette said.

"Trust me, I was on your train of thought as well until Marinette explained things more to me," Adrien said. "Lila is not just lying about herself, she is also lying about what she can do for others. Saying that she can put a good word in for people to get certain jobs, internships, or futures in careers that they want. When it actually comes time for them to her to fulfill those promises, a lot of people will be met with disappointment. Plus, with her promising these things, they will not apply to other jobs, colleges, or internships on their own. It would take a long time for them to recover from her lies."

"I see," Lyon understood what they meant. "Guess this just gives me more reasons to not come out in public more if I have to deal with people like her."

"She hasn't happened to make any lies about Lyon, has she," Adrien asked Marinette.

"Well, she apparently was trained in the art of contests by Lyon and was supposedly the muse that inspired him to chose his 'White Wolf' look," Marinette said.

"And... now I have a headache," Lyon pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Here you go," Marinette handed the top coordinator some aspirin.

"Thank you," he took it immediately.

Adrien had known Lyon for quite a while now. Lyon had come from a rich family just like he did. But while he had been almost forced to model, Lyon's parents let him choose his own path. He was known for being the youngest ever grand coordinator out there. But since he had met him, Adrien also knew that Lyon generally was very humble and kind, but was basically an ice prince to anyone that tries to use him for their own gain.

So if Lila was not in trouble before, she sure was going to be now that Lyon knew about her lying about him. And that was troubling enough without Lyon's twin sister, Vallia, hearing about this. She might have the nickname of the Flower Princess and might be trying to become a Pokemon doctor, but that did not mean she was not dangerous on the battlefield.

"If she is still telling lies, I am guessing that she still has her regular audience," Adrien looks at Marinette again.

She nodded sadly. "Alya is still her most loyal sheep and there are also a lot of other friends of ours that are under her spell as well."

Lyon looked at the two with a raised eyebrow, silently asking for more details.

"There are times where I can escape photoshoots even if I do not have a contest to sneak off to," Adrien explained. "I would meet up with Marinette as much as I could and she introduced me to a lot of her friends. I have especially gotten along well with Nino, Kim, Juleka, and Marinette's boyfriend Luka."

"And before Lila came along, my friend Alya was my best friend," Marinette said. "I went to our town pokémon school with them before we all started our journeys. But when Lila showed up with all of her tall tales and false promises, they follow her like sheep following their shepherd. Most of my old class is under her spell. Only Adrien, myself, Luka, Kim, Juleka, and our other friends Nathaniel, Marc, and Kagami know that she is nothing but a liar."

"Alya used to be a reporter hopeful," Adrien tells Lyon. "She ran a very popular blog about up-and-coming battlers and coordinators. But then Lila came along with her tales and now most of Alya's blog is about her. She basically takes Lila's words as gospel and attacks anyone that so much as even hints that they think that Lila is anything less than a perfect angel."

"Wow," Lyon gasped. "This girl sounds worse than an angry Darkrai, and you never want to run into one of those."

"Yeah, Lila is a piece of work," Adrien sighed. "She really needs to be silenced before her tales get someone into trouble."

"Yeah," Marinette said. "She has been saying how Jagged Stone wrote a song about her and that Clara Nightingale stole dance moves from her. Those types of lies can ruin their careers."

"Well, I have no secret identity," Lyon says. "She won't be able to lie her way out of me saying that I have no idea who she is."

"Just be careful how you explain how you heard about her lies," Adrien warned him. "Lila has been trying to turn people against Marinette because she knows about her lies. At a few past contests that I had won, I heard a few other coordinators insulting her all because of lies that Lila told about her."

Lyon looked disgusted by the behavior. Coordinators and battlers were both very large families. Yes, there were some bad seeds in each family, but this girl was something way beyond a bad seed. How can one person just be such a selfish liar that she is willing to ruin another person's life just because they did not believe their lies?

But before they could continue their conversation, an announcement was made over the backstage speakers. It was for the coordinators that were competing to get ready since the first round was going to be starting soon.

"Just do your best, you two," Lyon tells them. "And if that liar gives you any trouble, she won't be much of an issue for much longer."

With a "Whoosh" of his cloak, Lyon left to go down the hallway. He had his own business at the Grand Festival that he needed to take care of before he would be able to help his friends.

"He always did like to make dramatic exits," Adrien chuckled.

"I just hope we actually won't have to deal with Lila for much longer," Marinette says.

The two of them went the opposite way down the hall, to the locker room where the contestants have to stay when they are not on stage. Adrien went to the side and leaned against the wall to keep up his appearance of the mysterious and quiet Cat Noir. Looking around the room, he noticed some familiar faces. Like Marinette had gone to stand next to her boyfriend, and fellow coordinator, Luka. There was also her friend Nathaniel and his boyfriend Marc along with her former friend Nino, Alya's boyfriend. Adrien also noticed his childhood friend Chloe as well and, unfortunately, Lila.

Soon, on the screens, appeared Marian, the usual contest announcer for Sinnoh. And from the audience that was seen in the background, Adrien could make out Kagami in the crowd as well as Alya. He was surprised to see Kagami there, but it was a very welcome surprise.

"Welcome, everyone to the beautiful waterside town of Lake Valor for this year's Grand Festival," she announced into her mic, making the crowd cheer. "Sixty talented coordinators from all over the Sinnoh region have joined us here to perform and battle their way into becoming the newest Top Coordinator!"

"And that will be me," was muttered all around the locker room, from confident and cocky contestants.

"Over the next few days, these talents coordinators will perform and battle their way into being named the next Top Coordinator," Marian continued. "The first stage is the Performance Stage, where our contestants will show off the beauty of their pokémon and their moves in double performances. After this stage, we will boil down our contestants to the lucky thirty-two for the Battle Stage where they will fight in double battles to win the chance to be named Top Coordinator."

"We got this, Torterra," Adrien whispered to the Pokeball in his hand.

"And to help us, let me introduce our judges," Marian continued again. "First is the Chief of the Pokémon Activities Committee, our head judge, Mr.Contesta."

"I look forward to watching all these coordinators doing their very best," the judge said as the spotlight shined down on him.

"Next is the President of the Pokémon Fan Club, Mr.Sukiza," Marian introduced.

"Remarkable," the next judge used his catchphrase.

"And, of course, Nurse Joy," Marian announced. "She is a very special guest all the way from the Kanto region."

The spotlight shined down on the pokemon nurse.

"It's an honor to be here and to help judge these amazing contestants, I called my sisters from Pewter City and Cerulean City."

Two more Nurse Joy seemed to materialize from behind her.

"We're very happy to be here," they all said at once.

"And last, but definitely not the least, our guest judge," Marian announces, making the crowd and contestants curious as to who it might be. "He is the youngest ever Top Coordinator of three regions and has graced us with his presence from all the way in Kalos. He's known as the White Wolf, it's Lyon Garden!"

A fourth spotlight shined down and Lyon was presented, making the crowd erupt into cheers.

Adrien was both shocked and not shocked at the same time. He figured that Lyon was here for a reason, but he suspected that it was for a guest performance, not as a judge. But he did smirk as he saw Lila pale a little at the sight of one of the people that she lied about.

"Ladies and gentlemen, coordinators of all ages," Lyon says. "I hope to see plenty of creativity, skill, passion, and most of all, I want to see good sportsmanship. I wish you all the luck in the world, but I will still tell you the cold hard truth about everything you and your pokemon do."

Adrien chuckled under his breath. Lyon would always be Lyon, and that meant that the Ice Prince, which all of their friends called him, would come out every now and again.

"The performance stage will be divided into three separate stages," Marian announced as all three male judges went to a separate stage with one of the Nurse Joy's. "Blue, green, and red. And the performances will be happening simultaneously. Let's get this first round started!"

The crowd cheered. In the locker room, the three first contestants were called out for each of the stages.

Adrien certainly got the meaning of the three stages. It was an extra challenge to be able to do a proper performance when there were two others happening at the same time. It was all about being able to focus on what you were doing and not get overwhelmed.

As the performances started and coordinators showed off their skills, Adrien definitely saw a few that would be his main competition. Such as when Luka took his turn on the blue stage, he did a very enchanting performance with his Sunflora and ghost-type Oricoro. As Marinette has told him, Luka loves music and almost always includes sound in his performances. And as he heard the sound and saw the glowing musical notes of Luka's performance, he knew that boy was going to be a challenging opponent.

There was also Nathaniel and Marc. They worked on a pokemon comic book together, so both of their creative and artistic skills showed in their performances. And it was also an amazing sight to see how Nathaniel had a rare Phione that he paired with his Piplup for his performance was stunning aquatic moves. And Marc was definitely no slouch as he gave an incredible display of nature with his Meganium and Cherubi.

But that was to say that there were not some fails as well.

Sadly, this list of fails included Nino. Adrien might have once called him a friend, but that certainly stopped when the guy started believing Lila's lies about Marinette. And by how badly he failed his performance, Adrien had to guess that Nino had probably taken some of Lila's "advice" about what he should do. It certainly was not a good look to the green stage judges when his Buizel went flying back from a Will-O-Wisp from his Drifblim was too powerful for the combo he was trying to do.

When Marinette got her turn on the red stage, Adrien was proven right when he had guessed that she would do a flawless performance. It was an amazing combination of her icy Amaura with her beautiful Vivillon. Especially when she had beautiful glowing snowflakes falling all over the stage with a combination of icy wind and silver wind followed by a morning sun.

Plus, it was certainly nice to see Lila so angry over Marinette having done nothing wrong in her performance one bit.

But even Adrien had to admit that even though he hated Lila as a person, she did pretty well during her own performance. Sure, her combo moves were a little predictable with the pokemon that she chose, but they still worked out in the end for her. But Adrien had a feeling that like the liar that she was, she was probably just using combo moves that she has seen in the past and using them herself but with different pokemon so that it is not obvious that she is just a copycat.

Then, Cat Noir was called for the blue stage. Adrien took a deep breath as he went out toward the stage. He passed Marinette on his way and she gave him an encouraging hug. He knew that Lyon was the judge for the blue stage along with the main Nurse Joy guest judge from Kanto. But he knew that Lyon would not judge him any easier just because they were friends. If anything, he'd be judged harder since Lyon knows how hard he had trained for this.

"And next on the blue stage is the talk of the Grand Festival," he heard Marian announce. "A masked coordinator that has been taking the contest world by storm. The pokemon contest prodigy himself, Cat Noir."

There was loud cheering as he ran out there and pulled out his pokeballs.

"Torterra, Togekiss, claws out," he threw their pokeballs into the air with his signature catchphrase.

With the star sticker on both the pokeballs, both of the pokemon came out in a swirl of stars. Most would doubt using a pokemon as big and tough-looking as Torterra for the Performance Stage, but Adrien was not most people.

Togekiss lands gracefully on the tree of Torterra's shell. There was a reason why Togekiss were known as some of the most graceful pokemon in the world.

"Togekiss, sky attack. Torterra, leaf storm," Adrien commanded.

Togekiss shined with a white aura as it slowly floated into the air. But at the same time, Torterra's tree let out its storm of leaves and green wind. Since Togekiss was right on the tree, as it flew into the air, the storm swirled around it and followed it. The leaves and window giving off an incredible light that was a result of the combo of the light of the sky attack with the flow of the leaf storm. Togekiss then flew higher into the air.

"Safeguard," Adrien commanded.

Togekiss then unleashed the blue and sea green force field that the protection move grants. It caused the sky attack and the leaf storm to disperse in a gorgeous flash of light.

Lyon and Nurse Joy both looked impressed by how he so effortlessly made a beautiful start to his performance.

"Torterra, sunny day. Togekiss, aerial ace," Adrien commanded.

Torterra's tree glowed with sunlight as it then threw a ball of light into the air. It headed right toward Togekiss as it was surrounded by streams of white energy as it flew around to use its move. The sunny day move was hit by Togekiss, resulting in a bright flash of light.

And the crowd and judges and fellow contestants gasped as Togekiss emerged from the light. The aerial ace and sunny day had merged together and had created a stunning rainbow trail that followed it as it flew around the stage. It was one of the most stunning things ever seen in a contest in ages.

Togekiss then did an aerial twirl before landing right back on Torterra's tree and causing the rainbow trail to burst into rainbow-colored sparkles that fell all over the stage.

Adrien took a bow as his performance ended. The crowd and judges were all on their feet as they gave him a giant round of applause. Lyon caught his eye and gave him a look filled with pride and congratulations.

"I don't think I have ever seen a performance like that," Lyon says, doing his judging. "A true mastery of both the power of a Torterra and the elegance of a Togekiss. Truly the best performance I have seen in a long time."

"It was indeed incredible," Nurse Joy added her judging. "To combine two pokemon so different from each other and making them work in such harmony really is a breathtaking piece of art."

Adrien could not be prouder of himself as he returned Torterra and Togekiss to their pokeballs and then started to walk back to the locker room. He was about halfway there when Marinette basically tackled him with a hug.

"I have never seen anything like that," she practically yelled in excitement. "You're Torterra was so well-trained and Togekiss was beautiful. I will never know where you get your time to train performances like that, but that was so awesome."

Adrien chuckled at the enthusiasm of his friend.

"Thanks, Marinette," he said. "I loved your performance as well. Those snowflakes were such works of art and they were almost like fairies floating around the stage."

Marinette blushed at the compliment.

"Thanks," she smiled. "I knew that ice moves and flying-type moves are usually a good mix, so when you add in the light from the silver wind, it creates the snowflakes."

"I just know that I will see you in the finals," Adrien grinned at her. "I may not want to beat you, but I'm going to."

"In your dreams, kitty," Marinette giggled as she knew that it would be one hell of a showdown.

"Get your hands off of Lila's man, Mari-brat," a female voice was heard.

"And, here we go again," Marinette groaned.

Marinette turned around as Adrien looked at who was yelling. It seems that Alya was as much of Lila's attack Growlith now as she always seems to be since the liar showed up in their lives. And it looked like Lila was fake crying behind her while Nino was trying to comfort her.

"Uh... who are you," Adrien asked.

Now, Adrien had done some voice acting for a few movies that his dad wanted him to do. So, he was a pretty good actor. Adrien might know who Alya is, but Cat Noir has never met her before.

Alya looked at Adrien, smiling at him. But he could still see the rage in her eyes over something that Lila probably lied about. This was probably about the lies about him dating Lila with the liar probably also throwing in some other lies to make Marinette look even worse.

"Oh, I guess Lila never mentioned me," Alya said. "I'm Alya, your girlfriend's best friend."

"Uh... And who is..." Adrien tried to reveal Lila as a liar.

"Oh, don't worry about lying to protect her," Alya interrupted him, proving that they were right about how Lila would lie her way out of Cat Noir saying that he did not know her. "But I should warn you that this girl that you're talking to is nothing but a giant bully."

"Excuse me," Adrien had to stop himself from snapping at Marinette's former best friend.

"She is nothing but a bully, liar, and cheat," Alya glared at Marinette. "She is always bullying Lila and trying to steal her pokemon. She always calls Lila a liar when she is no such thing. Plus, she drugs all her pokemon to make sure her performances are good. Plus, she steals Lila's contest ideas. So, get your hands off of Lila's boyfriend, Mari-brat."

"You know, Luka used to tell me that you're heart song screamed that you were a bad friend," Marinette crossed her arms. "I did not believe him, but I will never doubt him ever again since you have ditched me for a liar."

"SEE," Alya yelled as she looked at Adrien and pointed at Marinette as if she had just been proven right. "She just called Lila a liar. She is a total bully."

"Well, she obviously is..." Adrien was interrupted again but by a different person this time.

"Hello, kitty," Lyon says as he approached the group.

"Wolfie," Adrien was immediately back in a good mood as he saw his friend.

"I have a reward for you for such an incredible performance," Lyon said.

Before Adrien could ask, he was suddenly kissed by Lyon. But the shock soon wore off as he melted into the kiss.

Marinette looked ready to burst in excitement as her ship has finally sailed. But she did now owe Luka a batch of his favorite caramel and chocolate scones since he had bet her that the two would get together at the Grand Festival while she thought it would happen after it. But she did not care.

Alya looked ready to burst in anger. Lila looked like she wanted to either cry more fake tears or just throw a monster tantrum. Nino just stood there with his mouth hanging open.

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF ARCEUS ARE YOU DOING," Alya screamed.

That made them break apart from the kiss. But Lyon just put his arm around Adrien's waist.

"I believe that I was kissing my boyfriend," Lyon said. "We've had to keep it secret because of the media, but we've been together a few months."

Adrien and Marinette both knew that he was lying, but they did not care. Besides, this was to both expose Lila and have an excuse to start dating.

"You've been cheating on your girlfriend for that long," Alya continued to scream.

Lila then chose to speak up, also choosing to fake cry.

"How could you do this to be, Noir," she cried to fake tears.

"Oh, so this is the girl that you were warning me about, Marinette," Adrien decided to join Lyon in his act. "The one that was going around and saying that I was dating her?"

"Yep, that's her," Marinette played along as well.

"Well, then," Adrien started, facing Alya. "As I was about to tell you, I do not have a girlfriend. I never have and I never will. As you can plainly see, I am gay and I have a wonderful boyfriend."

"Lila is not a liar," Alya continued to scream. "You're just a cheater that is trying to make her look bad."

"Wow, this girl is a piece of work," Lyon rolled his eyes.

"You should be ashamed of yourself," Alya yelled at Lyon. "She was the one that gave you the inspiration to be the White Wolf and you trained her to be a coordinator. How could you betray her like this?!?"

"Her? Inspire me? As if," Lyon gave Alya an icy glare. "This is the first day that I have ever met this girl. I became the White Wolf because my sister used to call me a wolf because of how loyal I am to my friends and family. They also all call me the Ice Prince, so White Wolf was born out of my two childhood nicknames."

"You need better friends since Marinette is most definitely is right," Adrien said. "This Lila girl is, most definitely, nothing but a liar."

"Let's go before our IQ gets any lower from being around a liar and her loyal sheep," Lyon held Adrien's hand as the three of them left. "And if someone is accusing you of drugging your pokemon, Marinette, I will lend you my family lawyers to sue that liar for slander."

Marinette wanted to laugh so hard as she saw the look of horror on Lila's face as they passed. She did start laughing once they were out of earshot.

"This is turning into the best day of my life," Marinette looked so happy.

"You're welcome," Lyon smirked.

"Won't you now get accused of favoritism when Lila will probably spread that you two are 'together' as revenge," Marinette asked Lyon.

"Everyone saw Adrien's performance, so I doubt that will happen," Lyon was confident.

"Okay," Marinette accepted that. "Also, it is about time you two got together. Adrien's had a crush on you forever."

"MARINETTE," Adrien yelled as he blushed.

All Marinette did in response was smirk and giggle.

First Meeting (Spanche and Brock oneshot)

"Can you believe we've been assigned teams?" Misty asked excitedly, stars in her eyes.

"This is gonna be great, a chance to prove myself!" Ash agreed, pumping his fist in the air.

"Pika!" His Pikachu chirped happily.

"It's really exciting, but I just can't wait to meet all the girls!" Brock said, a blush upon his face. Misty rolled her eyes and shrugged.

"Here we go again..." She mumbled.

Ash simply laughed. "We can meet girls after we battle trainers!" and with that, he took off running and laughing.

"So we're getting new trainers?" Henry asked Blanche, looking up at his leader with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, word got out that Valor Mystic Instinct wanted more people to sign up and they heeded. I've accepted over 100 trainers this week." Blanche stated, looking over some paperwork.

"What about us?" Thomas looks to Spark, curious. Spark smiles and rubs his assistant's head. "I got over 200 trainers accepted! Not trying to brag, babe." Spark grinned at Blanche, who let out a small smile and rolled their eyes.

Elara looked at Candela, her eyes asking the question. Candela chuckles. "We got over 150 trainers signed up. We're good." Candela assures Elara, who smiles and nods.

"Hello!" A voice calls as the door opens. "We're here to meet the leaders of Valor Mystic instinct?"

"Oh, we've got company!" Spark grins. "Thomas, stay here and finish some paperwork up please!" Thomas nods and heeds his leader's words.

"Henry, I'll be back, you do the same." Blanche says, standing up.

"Elara, you know the drill." Candela says, walking out with her best friends and coleaders.

The trio walks out and sees three trainers, they smile.

"Hi!" Candela chirps.

"Can we help you?" Blanche asks.

Brock freezes as the background between the two turns pink and bubbly. His face is burning and hearts are in his eyes.

"YOU TWO ARE THE PRETTIEST WOMEN I'VE EVER SEEN!" Brock kneels and takes both their hands. "Please, what are your names?!"

"Brock!" Ash and Misty yelped, not believing he just did that.

Candela jerks her hand away, out of surprise. Blanche, however, froze out of anxiety of being touched so suddenly. They looked to Spark, their green eyes begging for their boyfriend's help.

Spark was furious. He wanted nothing more than to strike the teen with his powers and burn him to ashes. Instead, he forced a smile, walked over and ripped Brock's hand away from Blanche.

"My partner is nonbinary, they prefer the pronouns they/them. Also, Candela is aromantic and doesn't want any romantic relationships. Don't ever touch them again."

Brock jumps back about ten feet. The blonde's tone sounded friendly but he could hear the growing fury under it. "I-I-I understand! Please forgive me!" He bowed in apology.

Spark wrapped a comforting, firm arm around Blanche as they clung to him. They thanked him silently by nuzzling their face into his shoulder.

"A-Anyway, do you know what teams you're in?" Candela said, glad she had her gloves on to protect her hands from Brock's touch.

"I'm with Team Valor, my name is Ash Ketchum!" Ash proclaimed proudly. This made Candela feel much better as she smiled. "Then you're with me, I'm your new leader Candela! Nice to meet you, Ash!"

"And I'm on Team Mystic, I'm Misty!" Misty smiled.

After composing themself and gently pulling away from Spark, Blanche nodded. "You're on my team then, I'm Blanche."

"And I'm Team Instinct, I'm Brock, nice to-" Brock cut himself short as he realized who's team he was on. A chill went up his spine and he started to shake as Spark let off a devilish grin.

"It's nice to meet you, Brock. You and I are going to have fun."

Trans Girl Serena (Pokemon)

“We join our 4 heroes as they decide to make camp for the day on their long journey. Ash has gotten his newest badge and wants to get an early start tomorrow so he can get his next one as soon as possible. Now he is training his Pokemon one last time before taking a rest. Clemont is working on his newest invention. Let's hope it doesn't blow up in his face again; and Bonnie is playing with Dedenne. Yes, it seems everyone is happy. Everyone that is except Serena. Would could be the problem?” The Narrator explained

Serena was indeed in a different move. She was pacing back and forth rubbing her hands. She looked like Ash when it was taking a long time for his dinner to be ready.

“Maybe I'll send him a message on the pokedex. No, what would never work. Oh! Maybe I can have Pikachu tell him. No. I kind of want it to be personal. Maybe I can...”

“Hi Serena.” Bonnie snuck up. “Is something wrong?” Serena jumped at that and almost shrieked. After seeing it was only Bonnie she calmed down.

“Oh, Bonnie. Sorry for jumping like that.”

“I'm sorry for scaring you. I just saw that you look nervous and I got worried about you.”

“I'm fine” Serena lied. “It's just, well, I'm trying to find out how I can tell Ash.” Serena looked at Bonnie with a concerned look.

“Your secret.” Bonnie said. Serena nooded.

Serena had told her secret to Clemont and Bonnie a while ago. No, not that she loved Ash though they pretty much already knew. But that she was trans. By her looks and personality no one would guess Serena was ever a boy. It all started when Serena was 6 years old. Her mom had always tried to get her to ride Rhyhorn. Serena didn't like it one bit. It was too rough and dirty. She had fallen off countless times and couldn't take it anymore.

“MMMMOOOOOMMMMYYYY! I hate this game!” Serena cried into her mothers arms.

“It's okay, honey. You just need a little practice.” Grace said

“No! I hate this game”

“But Sea..”

“No! I hate this game! This game is for boys.”

“First of all no it's not. I'm a girl and I love Rhyhorn riding. Two, you ARE a boy.” Serena hesitated before speaking.

“Well maybe I don't want to be one. Maybe I wanna be a girl!”

“What? Why on Earth would you say something like that?” Grace asked.

“Because I hate being a boy. I want to be a girl like you. And I hate my name. I want to be Serena!”

Grace was astonished; though the more she thought about it the less it surprised her. Her child was always on the girly side. He preferred to dance, girly Pokemon, and liked watching performing. She had caught her kid in her clothes before though she didn't think much of it. After taking Serena to a doctor it was decided to let her son be her daughter for a while. Days passed, weeks, and then months and Serena was still around. Grace knew by now her son was gone. She had been a girl for a year when she went to Kanto for camp.

“Professor Oak.” Grace said. “There's something I need to tell you. It's about Serena my daughter.”

“What is it?” Oak asked.

“Well, she's not like other girls. Serena is transgender. She was born as my son but decided last year she wanted to be a girl. Or that she was always a girl actually. I'm just worried she might get bullied if anyone finds out.” Oak nodded.

“Don't worry, Ma'am. I understand. I'll make sure no one bullies your daughter. There will be no bulling here. If I see any or if some is reported there will be some serious consequences. I'll make sure Serenas secret is kept a secret.” Grace nodded.

“Thank you, Professor.”

Serena was worried all week that she would be found out. That the other kids would call her a freak and just a boy in dress up. That never happened. The week still wasn't great though, until the end. There she met Ash Ketchum. She hurt her knee and Ash helped her get up and back to the camp. Serena fell in love for the first time here and it was with Ash Ketchum. She thought about telling Ash the truth that day but she couldn't find it in her. To the camp she was a girl and she wanted to keep it that way.

Back in the present Bonnie comforted Serena.

“You've got this.” She said. “Ash might be a bit of an airhead at times, but he's also kind and understanding when he needs to be. He won't abandon you. Trust me.” Serena nodded.

“All right. I'll them him.”

“Good. Nooooooooow” Bonnie pushed Serena all the way to Ash.”

“Hey! Bonnie? What do you think you're going!?”

“Hi, Serena. Did you come over here to relax too?” It was Ash. Serena blushed as Bonnie was already gone leaving her and Ash alone.

“Oh, Ash. I, Um. There was... No, actually. It's just that I, Um....There'ssomethingIneedtotellyou!”

“Huh?” Ash was confused by how fast she spoke. Serena took a deep breath and started again.

“There's something I need to tell you. Something important.” She sat down next to Ash and put her hands together on her lap. “I'm really scared though.”

“Don't be. No matter what I'll be here for you.” Ash smiled at her. Serena smiled back before speaking.

“Do you know what transgender is, Ash?”

“Is is some sort of new trainer class?” Ash asked. Serena almost facepalmed herself at that.”

“What? No! It's nothing like that. Transgender is when someone decides to become the opposite gender they were born as.”

“Become the other gender?” Ash cocked his head.

“Yes. Some people are uncomfortable being born as they assigned gender. They feel they should have been the other way around. They don't like having their birth name said or want to go though their natural puberty. Imagine if you woke up as a girl, or as Meowth.”

“That would be horrifying.”

“Well, that's what it's like for me. I'm transgender. People used to think I was a boy, even my mom. I hated everything about myself. My name, my clothes, my body, everything. It was horrible. When I was 6 I hold my mom the truth. After talking it it over with some doctors it was decided I could try to be a girl for a while. I was so happy that I finally got to be a girl. My mom and doctor eventually saw how happy I was and knew I wouldn't ever go back. By the time I meet you I had been living as a girl for a year. Now it's been 4 years going on 5 since I've transitioned. I currently take pills that stop my body from developing into a man. While I'm going to have to wait a while I can take estrogen when I get older to get a feminine body.” Serena stopped a moment before continuing “Now you know. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.” She stopped again and looked at Ash who didn't speak and looked emotionless. “You hate me now do you?” Serena started to cry. She knew this was a bad idea. She was about to leave when Ash took her hand. She looked at him surprised.

“No. No, I don't hate you. I could never hate you. I'm glad you told me. Am I the only one?”

“No. I told Clemont and Bonnie a while ago. Other than them the only ones who know are my family, doctors, Professors Sycamore and Oak, and some of my friends back home.”

“What about the Performing people?” Serena shook her head quickly.

“Oh God no! People like me aren't allowed in. I would be disquieted and banned forever if they found out. So they need to think I'm a genetic girl”

“I'm sorry.” Ash said. “I don't know how much it pained you to have experience this or go though the pain of being scared to tell me.” Serena clutched her dress with her hands and shook a little.

“It's been hard at times. But I know I always have my mom, my friends back home, Clemont, Bonnie, and you.” Pikachu rubbed his head on Serena and all of Serena's Pokemon came out to hug her. “I'll always have all of you too.” Serena smiled.

“Come on.” Ash said. “Let's go get Clemont and Bonnie and have dinner. Then we can watch you practice performing and prove the girl you really are.” Serena blushed and smiled as they got up to do that.

Convention Crush | KNJ

➛ Summary: You’re spending your first anime convention alone, in one half of a couple’s cosplay, until you meet a new group of friends and your other fictional half. ➛ Pairing: Namjoon x Gender Neutral!Reader ➛ Genre: Fluff, slice of life ➛ Rating: PG ➛ Warnings: Like two curse words but nothing else ➛ Word Count: 1.7k ➛ A/N: For BHQ’s Anime Club Event! Thank you @nightowls388​ for the prompts! 💚

nightowls388 said: Carese darling!! May I has Namjoon in spirited away with dialogue prompt 10 please :D

The hotel is loud and bustling with life as you walk through the doors. A group of teenagers dressed as various Naruto characters runs past you, arms back and backs bent in classic “Naruto run” stance. You weave through a group of My Hero Academia cosplayers to the registration table to get your convention pass.

Once the lanyard is around your neck, you beeline for the hotel’s attached Starbucks. You’ll need the caffeine if you want to survive your first anime convention alone. You’re supposed to be here with your best friend, but Jungkook decided to catch the flu two days ago. The four-day pass was non-refundable, and you weren’t about to lose out on $70 that you barely had to begin with. So, here you are, alone in a sea of over-excited cosplayers and exhausted parents, in one half of a couple’s costume, not even sure where to begin.

“Hi!” A group of teenagers dressed in various Studio Ghibli cosplays approaches you as you head to the escalator for the main convention floor. “You’re Chihiro, right?” A girl dressed as Princess Mononoke asks, gesturing to your pink bathhouse uniform.

“I am.” You offer a nervous smile, unsure where this is going.

“Can we take a picture with you?! We don’t have anyone from Spirited Away in our group!”

“Oh, yeah, sure.” They all crowd around you, squishing you between a Howl and a Kiki as they get a passerby to take a picture of you all. As soon as the camera shutter goes off a few times, they all thank you in a rush and are gone just as quickly, sprinting up the escalator and disappearing into the crowd.

Still reeling from how fast-paced the interaction was, you finally step onto the escalator and fish the convention schedule from your backpack to scan the upcoming events. An ask the cast panel for Demon Slayer could be interesting, not that you’re sure what that consists of, but that’s one of your favorite anime and you have to start somewhere.

Too absorbed in the schedule, you don’t notice the group of men crossing in front of you at the same time you step off the escalator until you bump into one of them, dropping the pamphlet.

“Shit, I’m sorry!” you reach down to grab the dropped paper, luckily still clutching your coffee safely to your chest.

“No problem, I got it,” One of the men bends at the same time as you and picks your pamphlet up. It’s not until you really look at him that you notice the black bob wig, blue pants, and white Haori.

“Oh! You’re Haku!”

He flashes you a dimpled smile as he takes in your outfit. “And you’re Chihiro. What are the odds.” You share a laugh, both of your hands grasping either side of the pamphlet longer than is probably necessary.

“Ahem.” A throat clear next to you has you both snapping out of the moment you share, remembering the other people he’s with. You make eye contact with a grey-haired man wearing the signature volleyball costume from Haikyuu. Checking the number on his jersey, you deduce he’s dressed as Sugawara. “This is a super cute moment and all, but the AMV contest starts in like fifteen minutes, and we need to get good seats. You can come with us if you want.” He proposes the last part to you.

“Ah, well I was going to go to an ask the cast panel.” Haku, Sugawara, and the other two men with them dressed as Ash Ketchum and Eren Yeager all give you the same pointed look.

“Is this your first anime convention?” Haku asks.

“Yes...how did you know?”

“No one who comes to these things often would ever put themselves through an ask the cast panel. It’s just a bunch of high schoolers being loud and obnoxious, pretending to be the characters. Total shit show.” Sugawara says matter of factly. “Were your friends really gonna have you suffer through that?”

“I’m actually here alone.” The four of them share a look before Haku turns back to you.

“That means you have to hang out with us. We can’t let you fall into any first-timer traps.” He shoots you another smile that’s all dimples, and you feel your pulse quicken. Even under the wig, he’s the most attractive man you’ve seen all day. Maybe even all your life.

“Okay.” You may have just met these men, but you don’t have any internal alarm bells going off about spending time with them. Your possible blooming crush on Haku aside, you don’t feel any negative vibes.

“Now that that’s settled let’s go! I’m not sitting in the back of the room for the contest!” Sugawara takes the lead as you all fall in line and follow him to one of the main meeting rooms.

As the day wears on, you’re more than happy that you decided to spend your time with your new friends instead of wandering alone, letting the four of them take you to various panels that they deem worthy of your time. Haku, whom you now know as Namjoon, is nothing but sweet to you all day. He explains that he and his friends have been going to anime conventions since high school, and now that they’re all seasoned college students, they still make it a point to attend. He mentions that he’s dressed as Haku because Jin, his roommate who’s the most handsome Erin Yeager you’ve witnessed at the convention, was supposed to be Chihiro but backed out last minute for the “cooler” cosplay instead.

Sugawara, who you find out is named Yoongi, is roommates with the fourth member of the quartet, Hoseok, dressed as a very compelling Ash Ketchum. When you compliment him, he flashes you the biggest, sunniest smile you’ve ever laid eyes on. After the AMV contest, they take you to a History of Horror in Manga discussion, much to Hoseok’s constant complaints. Around lunchtime, the five of you leave the hotel and cross the street to look for food. After Jin and Hoseok argue over sushi versus burgers they ultimately have you choose. You opt for chicken, much to everyone’s delight.

Out of everyone, you find yourself talking more one on one to Namjoon, finding out you have quite a few things in common. You both share a love for music and nature and are plant parents, although you tend to kill more plants than keep them alive. Namjoon promises he’ll give you tips on keeping your plant babies alive and grins at you for what feels like the fiftieth time of the day. Each time, your stomach does somersaults, and you feel your skin heat up.

At the end of the night, as you’re all leaving the 18+ Bad Fanfiction Reading panel, you almost don’t want to part ways.

“We can’t let you leave without getting your number!” Jin shoves his phone into your hands, demanding you put your digits in. The other men do the same, with Namjoon being last, hand shaking as he presents his phone. A series of four beeps come through on your phone, signifying the text messages from the group.

All of you are staying upstairs in the hotel rooms, so together, you head for the guest-only elevators as Yoongi announces the panels and events he’s planning for you all to go to tomorrow. Hoseok makes it a point to say that you’re included and that you’re now friends, therefore you have no choice but to spend the rest of the convention with them. Of course, you don’t object and agree to meet them downstairs tomorrow morning.

Your room is on the 8th floor, while their rooms are on the 10th, so you reach your floor first. Preparing to say your goodbyes for the night, you step out of the elevator and send a wave, but before the doors close, Namjoon is shoved out beside you.

“Joon will walk you to your room!” Hoseok calls as the doors close.

“Yeah, we’ll see you in a few, Namjoon!” Yoongi adds, then the doors are shut, and the elevator keeps going up.

Namjoon scratches the back of his neck sheepishly. “Uh, please lead the way. I’ll make sure you get to your room, okay.”

Feeling nervous yourself, you simply nod as he follows you the short distance to your room.

“This is me,” you move to the door, and you both stop in front of it. Seconds tick by with the two of you staring at one another while you try and come up with something to say.

“Today was great,” Namjoon says at the same time you do, making both of you chuckle. “Sorry, go ahead first.”

“I just wanted to say thank you for inviting me along with you all today. I had a lot of fun and didn’t think I could’ve done so if I was by myself.”

“Really?” Namjoon says, looking surprised. “I thought we would’ve been a little too high energy for you. You really had a good time? Today made you happy?”

“Yes. I am happy. Because I was able to meet someone like you.” You blurt the latter part out and watch as his eyes widen and a dark shade of red blossoms over his cheeks.

“I, uh, I’m glad you feel that way. I’m really happy I was able to meet someone like you too.” Namjoon’s eyes dart down to your lips momentarily before he lets out a cough. “Well, I’ll see you in the morning. Make sure to meet us downstairs at ten on the dot. If you’re late, Jin will probably nag you for the rest of the convention.” He hesitates momentarily, then reaches out to pull you into a hug. You instantly melt in his hold, inhaling the warm cinnamon scent of whatever Namjoon’s got on.

Your grip on his waist tightens at the same time his arms around your shoulders do. You’re not sure who pulls away first, but reluctantly, you do release each other. Namjoon gives you another goodbye, and then he’s shuffling down the hallway and back towards the elevator.

Once he’s around the corner, you let yourself into your room, his scent still in your nose, and the feeling of his toned arms around you still lingering. How you managed to run into a great group of friends on the first day, you don’t know, but you’re not about to question it. The only thing you worry about is how you can make your cosplay planned for day two as cute as possible, now that you’ve got someone to impress.

Pokemon Fic Recs

Ok so I noticed that there aren't enough Pokemon recs on Tumblr so I'm hoping to help out. These will mostly be gen fics but there may be some Satugou too. Anyways enjoy.

Ash crashes into the Pokemon Center, alone, bleeding, and desperate. Pikachu's catatonic. He tries to ignore the fact that Hunter J is after him, that he just jumped out of a moving aircraft thousands of feet in the sky, that his friends have no idea where he is, that he barely knows.

He can't let anyone know. He's not sure why, but the secret's pretty hard to hide when you're covered in blood and not the best liar.

He shudders at the fact that she's after him, now. Not his Pokemon. Rare, she said. Aura.

He wants to throw up.

Amazing. Beautiful. Deserves way more attention. This is around 45,000 words too so it's good to read in a few hours. This is also part of a series so if you want to read it I would just go looking. Enjoy. @imaginaryyinspiration

Lusamine's smile, glued on— like when he forced a smile when he secretly wanted to cry, except she was hiding something much more bitter inside than just repressed fear and bad memories. Her voice, though smooth and dripping with syrupy sweetness (sticky and thick and nauseating), was as grating on his ears as nails dragging long and hard down a chalkboard, sending chills up and down his spine.

She was too sweet, cloying, like when copious amounts of perfume were added to hide a foul smell, choking the air around him.

Ash hadn't been truly scared of someone in a long time. Lusamine...she was terrifying.

Another amazing fic by imaginaryinspiration. I absolutely adore this series and hope more people will too cause it doesn't have the attention it deserves.

Ilima was in Kalos during the Crisis, so it's only logical that he knows Ash Ketchum's name. He just hadn't ever expected to see one of the heroes of Kalos attending his old school.

This just makes sense.. like Ash has done some insane fucking freaking things and like no ones noticed, he was on the News for fucks sake in Kalos and lime no one recognised him. Anyway amazing fic loved it, yoy should read it and check out @grainjew while your at it.

A suggestion from Professor Kukui leads to Ash learning yet another language. Featuring an—erm—overenthusiastic green Noctowl; a study in the ridiculous naming of things in the Alola region; and a whole lotta friendship along the way.

or: that one fic where Ash learns Hawaiian Alolan. it goes about as well as you’d expect.

Crack Fic!Crack Fic! Sorry I love crack fics and this one is so funny. The DuoLingo owl haunts my dreams and will now haunt everyone else. Enjoy!

Alola has a rich history of vibrant stories and colorful tales, most full of merriment and joy. However, as a dark remainder of Alola's past is brought back into the light, our heroes will have to face a frozen wasteland and icy ticking time bomb in order to save everyone.

Pokemon movie in the form of a fic? Yes fucking please! I love it it's amazing and I hope more people read it cause it deserves attention. @kisskiss-where-is-season-two

When Ash falls ill a day before Serena's performance, his Pokémon make sure that their Trainer gets the rest he needs, even if they have to be a little forceful. Ash has always taken care of his Pokémon, and his Pokémon will always take care of him. Sometimes the best cure for the flu is plenty of TLC.

Ash's pokemon being protective. That's all I gotta say. @animationnut

Ash and his friends meet up with Misty on a tour of a legendary movie studio in Virbank City, where a new horror film is in production. But a studio tour and an autograph session turn into mayhem when the chills and thrills of the screen come to life!

Again... Pokemon movie in the form of a fic. @zdbztumble

Ash reached the semifinals of the Lily of the Valley Conference. He’s not a rookie trainer any more, and he’s definitely not an idiot. Now he’s starting a new journey in the Unova region, and this time nothing is going to stop him from winning the Vertress Conference and moving one step closer to becoming a Pokémon Master.

A fix-it fic for Ash in Unova. Instead of Ash resetting we say how he grows and helps people again. Also, Iris is less annoying.

Ash is having the time of his life in Alola. Meanwhile, something dark is brewing back in Kalos. Greninja stumbles upon something terrifying and tries to warn Ash. It all gets much worse from there before it gets any better.

I don't wanna spoil anything but I'm just gonna say that it's amazing and you have to read it. @its-railou

Sophocles challenges Ash to a one on one battle, and Ash ask an old friend for help. (I’m not spoiling it in the characters. But maybe you can guess it by the title.)

I will respect the authors wishes and spoil who ot is but it is a good fic about Ash proving his friends wrong again.

Anyways I hope you enjoy the fics and support the writers. I'm gonna see if they have Tumblrs and if they do I will tag them xx
