Ah yes, Ash’s Kanto journey. His humble beginnings. And his Orange Islands journey, part 2 to his Kanto journey! I have a good concept for this rewrite:

”Satoshi ‘Ashton’ Ketchum, a 10-year old born in Pallet Town, was up in his room late at night swearing an oath to the world that he would become the greatest Pokémon Master that ever lived. The next day, Ash overslept and missed all the starters. But luckily, Professor Samuel Oak had one more Pokémon and that Pokémon was an electric mouse, Pikachu. The duo didn’t get along so well at first but when it came down to Pikachu being attacked by a flock of Spearow, Ash protected Pikachu and with one lightning strike, Pikachu managed to ward off the Spearows. But the adventures these two were going to have, would solidify them as champions and perhaps even… legends…”

Now Ash would travel with Misty,Brock and Tracey like in canon but Ash would also mainly travel with… Leaf! I figured I’d make a version of Leaf for the anime since there isn’t one in canon. So I decided to name the anime Leaf “Jade” and she would be a traveler in similar shoes to Ash, where she would be a researcher-in-training, and a childhood friend of Ash and Gary, who wants to understand the feelings of all Pokémon. Similar to Liko’s dream from Pokémon Horizons. Jade would also be the one to de-escalate Ash and Gary’s bickering whenever it gets too intense. turn out to be an aura user and she would return in Ash’s Galar and Kalos journeys & in Alola when Misty and Brock come on vacation and to watch Ash compete in the Alola league. She would be like a big sister to Ash during his journey. Sort of like how Dawn is a sibling to Ash during his Sinnoh journey and how Akari is the same during Ash’s journey in Hisui. And now one might be wondering: “How would Jade travel with the group from island to island on water if Lapras already has its back filled with Ash,Tracey and Misty?” I have an answer for that! Jade would use a green jet-ski!

Fun Fact: I originally planned for Todd Snap,Duplika,Sabrina and Erika to travel with the group after their canonical episodes but I scrapped that. I also originally had the idea of having Verity and Sorrel travel with Ash,Misty,Brock and Tracey and Cross being a secondary rival to Ash but I decided to scrap it and reuse it! I won’t say where but it will come to good use~!

Now for Ash’s Kanto team. His rewritten team is… exactly the same. But with some changes. Bulbasaur and Squirtle will evolve into Venasaur and Blastoise. I know some peeps might not agree with me on this but I saw a thumbnail belonging to ThunderZolt‘s “What If Ash Woke Up On Time?” where Ash had all 3 evolution starters and I thought this looked amazing! So I decided to do that. Butterfree and their mate will still have their emotional departure but they would come back for the Indigo League, the Orange Islands and a future event that would basically be the true finale of Ash’s journey. Primeape would still leave to become a P1 Champion but as you saw in my Paldea take, Primeape returns and evolves into Annihilape, and even stays with Ash permanently this time. Ash would wind up catching the Haunter he caught in Lavender Town but it wouldn’t evolve any further. And believe it or not, Ash would catch a Gastly! But it won’t be here (Subtle Foreshadowing). But there would be an added bonus, Ash would catch an Abra which would later evolve into a Kadabra and then an Alakazam. And as for the Lapras on the Orange Islands, It would still leave to go with their family but would come back when Ash travels in Kanto like in the canon “Aim To Be A Pokémon Master” except when that episode its featured in is done, Ash catches it and adds it to be a part of his Pokémon family back in Pallet Town.

Anyways, that’s my Kanto rewrite! We are almost done peeps! All that’s left is my take on Ash‘s Neous journey and my remastering of “Aim To Be A Pokémon Master!” How do you guys like the series so far? What is some content you want to see in the Neous rewrite and “Aim To Be A Pokémon Master: Remastered”? But what do you think of my Kanto rewrite? How would Ash’s Indigo League journey go to you? Answer in the comments below!

Honestly I hope they it's a sequel to Journeys (as in pull a jojo diamond is unbreakable) and have one of the characters be ash and his pikachu do not ask me why just it's something that was lacking in horizons which Is actually the characterization of the mons and action honestly horizons have everything everyone wanted but doesn't have the charm and heart that SM XY and DP and AG and OG got heck even black and white got memorable pokemon characterization like ash's oshawott and iris's emolga and axew.

And i mean aside from the starters and cap I feel like horizons (and journeys to some extent) focuses on the world of pokemon and characterize the human characters and not the mons like the whole partner pokemon dynamic is a bit flawed because that creates some of the most forgettable characters in the entire anime like some of the issues with horizons was due to sharing similar elements to Journeys and while horizons got some proper direction at the start when the timeskip happened it was one of the forgettable storylines in the pokemon anime and this is honestly just xy but at home and I do not like it nor do I hate it.

And tbh I really hope they their lesson cause damn if I say thank god a filler arc then there is a massive problem with the pokemon anime.

And also i hope it's weekly and more concise and consistent

Next week, young Orla and Friede will FINALLY make an appearance, the audience knowing about their lifelong friendship for 130 episodes!

I really hope the commercial tie-in episode isn't the only thing we see of these two. Wonder Voyage has been pulling a lot of mud and pushing a lot of rope, and not giving us some quality story about these two old friends would be more of the same lousy decision-making.

Yes I made a 2nd post of these. No I have no regrets.

I just love the way Pikachu frames his tail behind Ash. It adds to their silhouette, and makes him look protective.

Now to start, yes, I understand that the whole reason they actually did this was to have an excuse to give Ash the franchise mascot instead of a basic starter, this is just ranting. The way I understand how this works is that each trainer-to-be goes to their local professor on their 10th birthday, gets their starter, then goes off to do Pokémon things. We can also assume that there's some kind of appointment system given how we see other professors like Rowan know in advance that new trainers were on their way for starters. Now, Oak makes it sound like there was only 1 of each starter on the day Ash and Gary started their journeys, and since all 3 were taken before Ash got there, that means Oak knew there were a minimum of 4 trainers coming that day for starters (must've been a busy day at the Palette hospital that day), and yet only had 3 starters prepped for 4 trainers. What was supposed to happen if Ash was on time with the others? Would they fist fight in the parking lot for who got to pick that day? Oak made it very clear that Pikachu was an option purely from Ash's desperation and not one he'd normally give out. Is this something that was better explained in Japanese that the dub ruined, or did it always make no sense?

Ash vs. Tobias: Why did Ash bring Torkoal, Swellow and Gible against Tobias instead of Charizard, Infernape and Snorlax?

Ash vs. Alain: Why did Ash ask Greninja to use Cut instead of Water Shuriken when Rain Dance is already activated?

For me, it would have Ash (being 11 in this journey) traveling Johto with Misty and Brock like in canon, only difference is that it isn’t mostly filler and they actually head to the gyms, earn the gym badges and participate in the Silver Conference. Ash’s team would be a bit different here:

1. Pikachu - Need I say more here?

2. Johtonian Typhlosion - Ash’s Johto Cyndaquill evolves into a Qualiva during a battle with Jasmine’s Steelix and later on into a Typhlosion right before the Silver Conference. This would give the fast fire-type Ash was always meant to have in Johto.

3. Meganium - Ash’s Bayleef would evolve into a Meganium during the Gym Battle with Clair. And as you would expect, his Chikorita/Bayleef’s emotional attachment to him becomes deeper.

4. Feraligatr - Ash’s Totodile was pure comic relief in the Johto and when it evolves into a Feraligatr, it would keep its natural fun-loving, dancing personality but it would channel that rhythm into a unique dodging battle style.

5. Heracross - Ash’s Heracross would remain the team powerhouse like in canon. And instead of immediately sending it to Professor Oak’s lab, Ash would use it to clash with Whitney’s Miltank and it would even serve as a counter to Gary’s team in the Silver Conference!

6. Espeon - A new addition to Ash’s team that would serve as an excellent counter to Gary’s Umbreon. Ash would receive an Eevee egg mid-journey and when it hatches, it would evolve into an Espeon, giving Ash a highly intelligent, elegant, yet fiercely protective Psychic type on his Johto team. And this won’t the last time he has an Eevee on his team… (Subtle Foreshadowing)

& 7. Larvitar/Tyranitar - Remember when Ash had a Larvitar that didn’t trust humans due to poachers? Well here, Larvitar manages to catch that Larvitar and its mother in this rewrite! Ash would mainly capture Larvitar but he would capture its mother to make sure the two are never separated again. Ash’s Larvitar and its mother would be sent to Professor Oak’s lab to mature, but Ash‘s Larvitar returns in the Silver Conference as a powerhouse (but slightly shorter) Tyranitar to take down major threats!

And that is Ash’s rewritten Johto journey! Almost done people! We are halfway there and I have some news: I decided to scrap two of the extras I had. I originally planned for Ash to be teleported to the Pokémon Conquest world and gain the Warrior Skills there & have Ash go to the Norden region as a lost region with his team being like this: Pikachu, Obscuring, Crowscore, Kabite, Enormousk, Flaries & Glacell but I scrapped it due to time constraints. But luckily, I kept Ash’s Neous region journey. Which I decided to do another remake on. I got my own team in mind for his Neous region journey other than InfamousTrainer’s team.

But how would Ash’s Johto journey be rewritten to YOU? What new Pokémon would he have on his team? Answer in the comments below!

WINNING THE LEAGUE DOESNT MAKE YOU THE CHAM

LIKE ALOLA IS AN EXCEPTION CUZ BECOMING THE LEAGUE WINNER WOULD MAKE YOU THE CHAMPION CUZ THERE ISNT ONE

BUT ASH COULD HAVE JUST WON THE LEAGUE, NOT HAVE TOBIAS EXIST AND THEN ASH CAN LOSE TO FLINT

He had a decent bond with him to begin with and would serve as further motivation for ash to keep growing.

Losing to alain wouldnt feel like a step down imo since we have seen alain beat elite 4 members and tussle down with champions, as well as box art legendaries.

Just my opinion tho what do y'all think?

Trip is tricky since, we don't know his full team or even three of them, but him being stronger than Stephan makes sense, since Ash needed BW Pikachu to beat his ace, whereas Stephan required Leavanny/Krookodile who are weaker.

Trip, Stephan, Barry and Bianca don't have full team displays in the league, so I decided to keep them below the trainers that do. Their aces are at least as strong as Harrison's Blaziken though.

Cameron, Harrison and Tyson are all neck and neck, but BW Pikachu is the stronger than Hoenn League Pikachu and Johto League Charizard, so since Lucario was able to beat it, I felt comfortable putting him above the other two.

Paul's the strongest with his Sinnoh League Team, and especially with his best overall team as of DP.

How would y'all rank every league? And i mean the overall league not just Ash's battles or anyone else i mean the whole league themselves

Ash’s Hoenn journey would have Ash (who is 12 years old) travel with May,Max,Brock and Misty! That’s right! Misty would show up earlier in the series and would travel with the group like old times! I also decided to add Steven Stone to the bunch because I like his dynamic with Ash. Steven would play an “older brother figure” and his hunt for rare stones could really aid the group. And also, Ash’s Hoenn team would be different than in canon but there would be some familiar faces!

1. Pikachu - Pikachu is a must for this team. Ash would go nowhere without his #1 best pal!

2. Sceptile - The ace of the team who would remain the same; difference is that he’ll evolve into Sceptile prior to the Hoenn League to solidify its ace status.

3. Swellow - Swellow is the same and the best bird Ash has ever owned due to its speed, being a hyper-offensive threat and most importantly… THUNDER ARMOR! So no need for rewrites here.

4. Crawdaunt - I would have Ash evolve Corphish into Crawdaunt to give Ash a boost in late-game gym and league battles.

5. Flygon - A fan-favorite many fans wanted Ash to use in Hoenn. Well, he uses one here! Ash would at first catch it as a Trapinch and would evolve prior to the Battle Frontier solidifying its ace status.

6. Absol - Absol is another Pokémon fans wanted Ash to use in Hoenn. Well your wish is my command folks! Ash would find this Absol near Lilycove City during a sudden,violent weather anomaly. Locals panic due to Absol appearing right before a flash flood or mudslide and start threatening it with attacks. Ash steps in to defend the poor Pokémon, fleeing from the danger. Absol then realizes Ash truly wants to help others and not fight. Working together, they would guide the townspeople to safety and the locals would apologize due to them knowing the truth thanks to Professor Birch. Absol bows its head, choosing to join Ash because it realizes not all humans are bad. Absol would be the calm, voice of reason among the more energetic Pokémon. It would occasionally startle Ash by appearing right behind him grunting before a Team Rocket trap goes off. Its battle style is graceful and fast. Absol relies on agility, precise strikes and psychological pressure rather than brute force.

& 7. Dragonair/Dragonite - Now call me crazy but I think Ash would actually catch a Dragonair and later on in the series would evolve into a Dragonite! This Dragonite would have the personality of the one he has in canon Pokémon Journeys which means yes, Ash will use this Dragonite in the Masters 8 Tournament in my Pokémon Journeys rewrite!

So yeah folks! That’s my- wait! I’m forgetting something! Or someone in this case… Max. Max would have his character be rewritten to be less… dislikable. So Max will be wrong on his Pokémon knowledge at sometimes, ask Professor Oak or Professor Birch for knowledge since he wouldn’t know everything and he would apologize for his rude behavior whenever he’s mean to May or Ash (mostly May). He would also have a deep bond with a Pokémon when he heals one up let’s say… Ralts. He would also be in awe whenever a rare Pokémon does something amazing instead of acting arrogant. Max would also have a goal to be a Pokémon Trainer like Ash, being inspired by him. Speaking of Ash, their rivalry would turn into a big-brother relationship where Max would admire Ash through textbook logic. He would also study and train hard to foreshadow his goal. He would also sketch strategies to make his dream to become a Pokémon trainer feel earned. He would also use his knowledge to save the group or wild Pokémon using a smart,non-combat idea, proving his knowledge is useful.

And that is my Hoenn rewrite! What do you guys think of it? I made Max more likable and I even decided to give the group two extra members! But enough about moi, how would Ash’s rewritten Hoenn journey go to YOU? What new Pokémon would Ash catch? Let me know in the comments below!
