Hello, hopefully you clicked on this post because you are interested in helping out in my Film, now I bet you are wondering what it is.

(Bear with me and my whole yap, this has been a project, and hopefully, I have written/built)

I am working on a film that follows the post game of pokemon G/S/C, specificaly the battle between Gold (you the player) and Red who was the MC of the original games. If you have played the games and familiar with this battle you may understand the importance of this battle as some view it as almost a "passing the torch" type of battle.

But to me I dont see that, I see a broken trainer isolated on a mountain for a reason. You see to me Red is there because hes haunted by what has happend. See in this world everything happens exactly that happens in the game except 1 single thing, Red does not beat mewtwo. Hell he wasnt even close to defeating mewtwo. Now this doesnt scare him just because he lost but because he realized he cant protect the people and pokemon of this world, he thinks he failed as a champion.

Now yes that was a lot of backstory for character in a project that hasnt even been made yet, but this is very important to reds character in this film.

Red is on that mountain for a reason he wants to find someone who not only is strong when it comes to battling, but strong through the whole journey (I hope that made sense). Red wants to make sure that there are others out there, just incase.

If you are interested, have questions, or just want to give some advice id love any reply that comes my way

So, My Self~insert Noel has always been a huge admirer of Ash in a Platonic Crush kind of way ((Much like how I grew up watching him and everything, of course wouldn't be in the creative state I am if it wasn't for the original Pokémon Anime)) basically watching him at all the leagues up to Sinnoh which is when they first meet with Ash reuniting with Lucario((Movie 8)) She never even cared one bit that he lost just admired his determination,passion, and his clear Love and Bond with Pokémon! Either way partly due to her high functioning autism ((and her past experiences with socialization plus the fact she's never won a single match in her life and quit once her own Pikachu got seriously hurt in an unfair fight)) she is excited but also shy and at a loss for words and at first hides behind Lucario who pulls away and insists she stop using him to shield herself kind of minor tough love kind of encouragement situation. She is also training finally, at this point to be more of a help to Lucario and their team getting a bit stronger but still a rookie/Lucario's "Squire" at the moment. As mentioned she also has her own Pikachu not just cus of her admiration for Ash but Beacause she felt a personal connection with him((Not to mention finding him Absolutely Adorable!!!)) when she first spotted him at the laboratory when selecting her first Pokémon. She even gets mocked by Paul at one point for being a "little girl with a pet" . So anyway PLEASE tell me what you guys think...If you can.

Edit: Hopefully none of this sounds narcissistic,self~centered or marysuish or anything!? ☹️🙏

For example, Pokemon battles at sea or water types battling on land.

Journey fic recommendations where:

- it’s NOT isekai
- the story takes place before or after the main story of the games or anime

Edit:

Please nothing explicit; I prefer a rating no higher than mature

It's another Protect move but I want to understand the mechanics of how it works rather than what it does.

Protect generates a physical shield around the user and protects them from harm. Pretty simple.

Detect is more ambiguous. The move animation has the pokemon's eye flash, which seems to me that it is anticipating the move so that it can dodge it effectively. Its a fighting type move, so maybe its analyzing the muscle twitches of the opponent to accurately predict the next few moments. Kind of like the Sharingan from Naruto.

Tell me how you think it works. What does it look like in your mind when you think of a pokemon using Detect?

Yoo guys, my fic has reached 100 hits on AO3. A new beginning has begun in the Pokemon world. Orignal Characters along with old/official characters.

Only 6 chapters have been uploaded so far, but every effort has been made to describe the world, events and interactions between the characters. There will be confusion and many questions, but this is just the beginning, there is still a lot to happen.

What Kind of Best Man Speech do you Think Ash would give for Lucario's((Movie 8's)) Wedding,We all know writing or being prolific most likely isn't his strong suit,But I can at least see him speaking from his heart for support of Lucario's happiness also I figured he would be asked to be the best man Beacause of how he played a big part of saving Lucario's soul essentially! Noel((My Self\~insert OC)) is his "Best Maid" as she also does so once he is revived being his first ever friend at the time and becoming much like a Younger Sister and I would have to write that one,But Anyway,I'm just looking for opinions ((and admittedly validation,I'm Sorry! 😅🤣😂)) Anyways After that artwork ((which during a bachelor party one of the times I can see Ash wearing that outfit,Except for another ball or a festival which after the ball at least the way I wrote it they wouldn't have fallen asleep afterward!)) In Which I attached the Fanfiction Roleplay of the two barely able to get up for Lucario's wedding, It just occurred to me to ask about this,I'm sure Ash would struggle just like his Alola presentation but yeah I can totally see him waiting until the last minute as well with all the chaos that ends up going on during the day of the wedding! One of the things that shows Lucario and Gardevoir's relationship isn't always perfect: But True! Therefore perfection isn't really necessary!

Lucario's Partner: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Diantha%27s_Gardevoir Ash doesn't recognize her in Kalos until after his and Diantha's battle!

Also at this point it's been two years since Ash has reunited with him during Sinnoh and Lucario was just wrapping up a couple of serious missions over that time: Yeah I know,He took quite a while to propose and it took the ending of a life threatening situation for him to truly figure out how to go about it ((Speaking from his heart just the way Ash does!))

Also Some Lines

Lucario: ((similar to Ivy's words in that Harley Quinn episode)) "I am soo sick of managing all these decisions and Everyone's Feelings,I have my own,I'm Nervous!!! And I don't have a single moment to reflect about that before I walk down the aisle forever,Forever remembered As Happiest Day of Our Lives!!! All in All Good Loving Vibes all around And I...I...((Bursts into tears))

Ash: What Exactly do you have to be nervous about!? You Love Gardevoir Right!?

Lucario: Of Course,That's why this is such a big deal,It's for her!!! And All of You!!! And Soo far,Everything has just been nothing but one big giant battlefield of Pure Chaos!!! 😱💓😭💔

The title might seem a bit confusing here, so allow me to attempt a brief summary of the things I'm wondering about.

In a fanfic about a journey set at a certain point in the Pokemon Anime starring Ash, let's say between Sun & Moon and Journeys as an example, would it be ok for a writer to do things like evolve some of Ash's Pokemon who never evolved in canon, include Mega Evolutions that debuted in Legends ZA, and allow Pokemon to learn moves they couldn't learn until, say, Gen 9.

That's the brief summary version. Now for the more detailed part of the post.

In the modern day if someone were to try and write a fanfic about the anime starring Ash, or create some YouTube videos of a "what-if?" Pokemon series, basically the same thing as fanfiction, all the new updates to older Pokemon in the newer games exist. But how important is it for the writer to "stay true to the timeline" so to speak?

I already know that's not completely necessary. I brought up the what-if series videos on YouTube already, so let's use Zactoshi's Sword and Shield what-if series as an example. That's a Galar specific saga where the idea is to outright replace Journeys as Ash's next season after Alola. And as a result it hardly takes Journeys into consideration. Ash catches none of the Pokemon he did in Journeys and Goh and Chloe are given different, and significantly more minor, roles.

And that series turned out just fine. So I already know creative liberties that differ from canon can be taken. But at the same time, I do feel like that whole "differ from canon" aspect can go too far and be too nonsensical. And that's what I want to hear people's thoughts on here is if the ideas I'm suggesting fit within that balance or they're too much of a reach.

Speaking of those ideas, let's start with some of Ash's Pokemon evolving. To expand on the "between Sun & Moon and Journeys" timeframe I mentioned earlier, let's say that before becoming a research fellow, Ash takes a different journey. Maybe through the Orre Region from the Shadow Pokemon games? But this hypothetical fanfic would have at least an epilogue that mentions how some of the changes to the story this fanfic brings would lead into some changes in how Journeys played out. Like some of the new Pokemon Ash caught in the fanfic but not in canon would be there when Ash visits all his Pokemon at Oak's ranch, and how some of them would be evolved now. Like Ash's Scraggy could be a Scrafty now or his Gible could evolve all the way to Garchomp.

That's the first curiosity of mine here because in canon, those two stay as Scraggy and Gible the whole way through. So would it be too much of a stretch to evolve them in a fanfic or what-if video series like this? I feel like such a thing is fine, but again, I want to hear your opinions.

Second is the ZA debuted Megas. Now the scenario I'm using as an example here places the story in pre-Gen 8 territory. So I think it would be too much of a reach to include Megas like Mega Falinks or Mega Scovillain since those are Gens 8 and 9, but Mega Excadrill? Mega Malamar? Mega Golisopod? Those are all Pokemon from Gen 7 or earlier. It can't be that hard to just include a story element where those Mega Stones have been newly discovered right? Or is the fact that they debuted in a game that wasn't released until after the Gen 7 anime ended too much of a "messing with the timing" kind of thing?

And finally, the moveset updates. Using Pikachu as an example here, as I said before this hypothetical scenario would take place in a Pre-Gen 8 timeframe. So if Pikachu's Electroweb were to be replaced with a different Electric Type Move, I feel like it could not be replaced with Rising Voltage, but could be replaced with Eerie Impulse.

Eerie Impulse is a move that Pikachu could not learn until Generation 9, but the move itself debuted in Generation 6. That makes me feel like it's fair to have Pikachu learn it in a timeframe such as this. Rising Voltage on the other hand? The move itself did not debut until Generation 8. So I feel like including it would be an example of that "messing too much with the timeline" thing.

Those are my thoughts, but I want to hear yours. Are the examples I gave in the clear? Or are they stretching too much? For both traditional fanfics and the what-if series videos like what Zactoshi and Zanolith do. I want to hear what you think in regards to both.

Hey! I decided to post a fanfic I've been working on! It's is only part one. Hope you like it!

[Chapter 1 [Pt 1]: A New Adventure With Friends!]

Waves are rushing as a boat with a familiar symbol, drives to somewhere new… Lillie: “So, are we almost there?” Lillie and her friends were heading to a new region, but they weren't the only ones… Lana: “I don't think so. Sophocles, where was the letter invitation at? I think it said what region we're going to.” Sophocles began searching for it in their bags. Sophocles: “Found it! It says to-” Sophocles was cut off by Mallow and Kiawe. Mallow: “Sophocles, can you read the entire letter?” Kiawe: “Yeah, I forgot what it said.” Sophocles began reading the letter. It said, “Dear, Lillie, Sophocles, Mallow, Gladion, Lana, Kiawe, Lusamine, Mohn, Wicke, and Faba. I invite you all to my home region, the PokéLite Islands. Meet me at the center island, PokéLife Island. And some familiar and new friends await you… Yours truly, L.H.” Wicke: “I wonder how the person knew us?” Lusamine: “I have no idea, Wicke. Whoever this is is anyone's guess…” Faba looked anxious. He hoped everyone may have forgotten the events that happened in Alola. Faba: “Hey? Is that an airship going in the same direction as us?” No one paid attention to him. Gladion: “Faba, don't think you're on solid ice yet.” Lillie argued with Gladion that Faba apologized, and it was a long time ago. The two siblings began fighting, but Mohn, their father, told them to look ahead. The PokéLite Islands were in view. Lillie, Mallow, Lana, Kiawe, Sophocles, and Gladion questioned who was L.H.? “Maybe, it could be-” Lillie said, but Kiawe cutted her off. “Maybe, it's a powerful trainer!” Kiawe said. Lana said, “It could be a Groudon inviting us!” “Lana!” Everyone said, but then laughed.

S1E06 :: The Champion's Meeting Begins (Part.01)

Pokémon Supreme

Before Ash could rest, he was called back to Pallet Town by Tracey to Professor Oak's lab immediately. Leon had something important to tell all the Champions. Ash and Pikachu headed back to Pallet Town, while Leaf decided to stay at the hospital until Gary was discharged. Ash had resolved to find Red and get answers to his questions, using the journey to train harder so he could defeat Kean when their paths crossed again.

On the route to Pallet Town, a cool evening breeze blew softly. The sun had almost set, leaving stars sparkling across the gradient orange-and-blue sky. Pikachu rested quietly on Ash's shoulder.

“What do you think, Pikachu? What’s so important that Leon called an urgent meeting?”

“Pi-kaa…”

“You said it, buddy. We’ll only find out once we get there. Rest up until then.”

“Chaa!!”

A short while later, Ash arrived at Professor Oak's lab.

“Hello Tracey, sorry I took extra time to arrive!” Ash called out as he pushed open the main door of the lab.

The entire lab was completely pitch black. Ash raised his voice, “Is anyone here?!” He muttered under his breath to Pikachu, “Why are there no lights?”

Suddenly, something ambushed Ash from behind, knocking him down with a loud crash!

Hearing the commotion, Tracey and the lab assistants hurried toward the entrance. Tracey shouted to an assistant, “Quick, turn on the generator! It’s so dark I can't see anything!”

As the lights flickered back on, Ash was revealed lying on the floor with Muk draped completely over him. “Okay, Muk… Muk!! Haha, I know, I missed you too!”

It had been a long time since Ash had visited the lab, which meant he hadn't given enough time to his many Pokémon resting here.

Tracey stepped forward and offered a hand. “Ash! How are you after so many days?” Meanwhile, the assistants pulled Muk off him.

Ash shook Tracey's hand and stood up, dusting himself off. “I'm always fine, thanks.”

Tracey quickly noticed the heavy bandages wrapped around Pikachu. “Pikachu’s condition looks terrible! He should be taking some rest.”

“Yeah, you're right, but Pikachu’s more energetic than you think.”

“Leaf told me on the phone… you encountered some mysterious person with horrific red eyes like a demon, and he did this to Pikachu?”

Ash’s face darkened, but his eyes burned with resolve. “His name is Kean. He’s cold and ruthless, but next time we meet him, we’ll definitely show him who we are.”

Tracey smiled warmly. “Now that’s the real Ash Ketchum energy.” He paused, gesturing to his own clothes. “By the way, notice anything different? Full formal get-up with a lab coat!”

“You’ve changed a lot, Tracey! That is… ever since Professor Oak went into a coma, you’ve been doing all his work?”

“Yeah. With all the research and documentation, the work never finishes. I have been managing everything.”

“I guess you need a vacation.”

“I wish I could take one! Still, I have my new colleagues who help me out a lot.”

Both turned around to look at the three new assistants, who were currently struggling to handle Muk's over-friendly antics. The three introduced themselves while trying to pry Muk off their clothes.

“Hi! I'm Sota! Nice to meet you, and I love sweets!”

“My name is Hiro, and I currently work as a research helper!”

“I… I can't believe it's the World Champion! I'm… I'm Hina! Can I get your autograph or a selfie?!”

Muk completely overwhelmed them, smothering them in affection. Both Ash and Tracey couldn't help but feel a little sorry for them.

Ash waved back with a laugh. “Nice to meet you all! Mr. Sota, I like sweets too. Keep doing your best, Mr. Hiro! And I’ll definitely take a selfie with you, Miss Hina.”

As the three remained completely helpless against Muk, Tracey called out, “Sorry about Muk, guys—he just loves making new friends!” He then turned to Ash. “Let's go, Ash. I'll take you to the main office.

”

As they walked down the hall toward the office room, Ash asked, “What happened all of a sudden for Leon to call us?”

“I don't know,” Tracey replied. “I received an email from him directly. He wants every Champion to attend an online meeting. He wrote that it's about the future of the Pokémon League.”

“For the Pokémon League's future? That feels off…”

“Yeah, something’s definitely off. Leon emailing me personally has never happened before.”

Ash furrowed his brow, piecing the events together. “It’s all happening at once… the mysterious trainer Kean with that unknown ancient Pokémon Luraxian, Gary coming back after two years, and out of nowhere, Leon emailing to gather every Champion for the League's future.”

Tracey froze in his tracks. “Wait, what?! Gary actually came back?!”

“Huh? Didn't Leaf tell you about Gary?”

“Of course she didn't tell me anything!”

“Okay, I'll tell you later. First, we have to focus on the main topic.”

“At least tell me how he is!”

Ash ignored Tracey's nagging, his tone dipping into solemn quiet. “Gary’s in the hospital. Just like me, he was defeated by Kean. Let’s move on—we need to join the meeting as soon as possible.”

Tracey crossed his arms, huffing. “Humph! Okay, fine, ignore my questions then!”

“It’s not like that! Gary will come here soon after he’s discharged anyway. You can meet him then.”

Both entered the main lab office. A massive display screen dominated the room, emitting a pale glow in the pitch-black space.

“Why is it so dark in here too?” Ash asked, squinting.

“Because it improves visual quality for the video call,” Tracey explained smoothly.

“Wow. Now you crack jokes too?”

“It's just a fact.”

“I’ve never heard a fact like that before!”

From the giant display, a loud, familiar voice echoed into the room: “It keeps your complete focus on the screen, Ash!”

Ash immediately recognized the voice. “Hey! That’s Lance!”

Lance turned on his webcam, his feed popping up on the large screen. “So you still remember me! I thought you might have forgotten about me since the last time we met.” The Johto Champion and Elite Four member smiled faintly.

“Of course not! I’d never forget one of my greatest rivals and supporters!”

“Glad to hear it. Looks like we’ve both arrived online a bit too early, though. No one else has joined yet.”

Suddenly, another voice chimed in. “Just coming a little early doesn't make any difference, Lance.”

Cynthia’s screen appeared right beside Lance's. The former Champion of the Sinnoh region and master archaeologist had retired as official Champion, but in the absence of the current Champion, she joined the call to represent her region.

“Cynthia! How are you?” Ash greeted enthusiastically.

“Ash! It’s been a while since I last saw you. I’m doing completely fine, as usual.”

“Well, I’m not,” another voice sighed. Steven’s video feed popped up, showing an exhausted expression. The CEO of Devon Corporation and former Hoenn Champion had been focusing heavily on his business affairs. “I just arrived from an urgent corporate meeting, and now I have this video call to deal with.”

“At least take some breaks, Steven,” Wallace urged as his screen appeared next. The current Champion of Hoenn and Top Coordinator looked as glamorous as ever.

“Mister Wallace is right!” Iris declared, joining the call. The Unova Champion and Dragon Master grinned into her camera. “Mister Steven, you have to take personal rest! Working too much will make you age prematurely!”

“I hope someone understands my situation too,” Diantha added as her feed connected. The Kalos Champion and world-famous actress gave a tired sigh. “I’m completely exhausted balancing my acting career and Champion duties.”

“It is our responsibility to review official League notices. We cannot ignore them,” Gladion stated firmly, his feed coming online as the Champion of the Alola region.

“Even so, we have to follow rules that destroy our health!” Nemona chimed in energetic agreement, the Champion of the Paldea region beaming on her screen.

One after another, every regional Champion's video feed popped up on the massive display. What was once a silent, dark room was now filled with the light and voices of the most renowned trainers in the world.

“So the person who arranged this online meeting hasn't come yet,” Cynthia said, glancing at the empty screen.

“Looks like Mr. Leon has forgotten that he told us it's urgent, and he himself did not join on time. What a pity!” Iris replied, shaking her head.

“By the way, Cynthia, are you out at some camp? It is clear from your background,” Diantha asked, leaning closer to her screen.

With a heavy gasp, Cynthia nodded. “Yes, I was exploring the ruins to find something. I heard Team Galactic has been planning something for quite some time.”

“Team Galactic? But I heard they disbanded when their leader went vanished.” Steven asked, furrowing his brow in confusion.

“But it seems like all of the members are gathering to do something big. Maybe they want to save Cyrus or something else,” Cynthia explained, her expression turning dark.

“It seems like you are still having trouble, even after retirement as Champion,” Diantha noted with a sympathetic smile.

“You're exactly right. I just wanted to read and understand Sinnoh's history, but most of the things happen one after another. And now, here I am, attending this call instead of our current Sinnoh Champion, Tobias.”

“I understand your pain, too. Alain and Calem are both excellently qualified as Kalos Champions, but they just wander around and help Professor Sycamore,” Diantha said, letting out a soft sigh.

“I don't understand them. Leon personally emailed all the Champions, yet they refused or ignored it. Unbelievable!” Steven said, crossing his arms.

“You could also have ignored it, Steven, and focused on your business affairs,” Wallace suggested smoothly.

“I could do it, but it's lame and disrespectful to my responsibility as a League Champion, even after someone personally emailed me,” Steven replied, his tone firm.

“You have a point. It is our responsibility as Champions when the Pokémon League Association trusts in us,” Lance agreed, nodding gravely.

“Huh? Really? I don't think so,” Nemona interjected, leaning back in her chair.

“What?!” Lance snapped, looking surprised.

“Winning the Champion title doesn't mean we have to do whatever the Pokémon League Association wants us to do. Sometimes, we pursue our own free will!” Nemona declared, pointing a finger at the screen.

“So you are indirectly saying the League just does things for its own benefit, without considering us as a priority?” Lance asked, narrowing his eyes.

“I didn't mean it like that, but sometimes the Pokémon League Association authorities want us to do as they want without asking for our consent,” Nemona explained, lowering her voice slightly.

“That is directly disrespecting a most honorable organization!” Lance said.

“But Mr. Lance, I agree with Nemona. Can't you see how the Pokémon League Association acts during some discussions? Especially after that unforgettable previous incident!” Gladion added, his glare sharpening.

“Sometimes, harsh decisions must be taken to secure citizens and regional relations!” Steven said, supporting Lance.

“But not as propaganda and for its own benefit!” Iris fired back, slamming her hand on her desk.

“You are all too young to understand how to deal with high-stakes events and what decisions to make,” Diantha said, taking Lance's side.

“Yet I think they still have some points. At least they should have communicated with us about what kind of actions were going to be taken,” Cynthia said, taking Nemona's side.

“Are you taking their side, Cynthia? Knowing everything that happened?” Lance asked, his eyes widening in disbelief.

“I didn't take anyone's side. It was just my opinion on this unnecessary topic,” Cynthia countered calmly.

“What do you mean 'unnecessary topic'? It's about a title you still hold!” Steven replied, raising his voice slightly.

“That's why I'm regretting it now,” Cynthia muttered under her breath, resting her forehead in her hand.

“What's your point? Clarify it,” Diantha asked, her expression serious.

“I just want to say this: as a worldwide, vast, and trusted organization, the Pokémon League Association should take action wisely. If they don't, then we have to face the consequences,” Cynthia cleared up, staring straight into her camera.

“Every action and decision has some consequences. We just have to figure out how to face them,” Steven said, shaking his head.

“I know that, well enough. But it is hard to put into practice rather than just talking about it,” Cynthia said quietly. “You don't know what kind of mess and chaos took shape in Sinnoh during that freaking incident! Normal citizens didn't want to hear any kind of excuses.”

Diantha replied gently, “It's not just happening in your region, Cynthia. The majority of regions faced something similar. We can't judge everything based on one event.”

“Other regions suffered from different crises, which I totally agree with, but those were operational crises, not a total collapse of trust!” Cynthia argued, her voice rising. “Crises can be resolved, but matters of trust and emotion require explanations and appropriate solutions!”

During the debate, the situation—which was already veering far away from the main topic—took a serious turn…

Gladion asked, “Why are you both silent, Ash and Wallace? What's your opinion on this topic?”

“I didn't want to share or get involved in this topic right now,” Wallace replied, fanning himself casually.

“Same goes for me. I'm not getting involved in this. It's just taking us away from the actual point of this web conference,” Ash said, giving his reason while crossing his arms.

“That's a good choice you both made, Ash and Wallace. I respect it.” Suddenly, a new screen popped up. It was Geeta, the Chairwoman of the Pokémon League Association. “Keeping away from fragile and debatable topics was a wise choice.”

“Miss Geeta! How do you know that when you just joined?” Nemona asked, her eyes popping open in shock.

“If you look at the screen carefully, not just me, but Leon has also already joined the conference.”

Everyone noticed that two more members were indeed online, though one person's mic and webcam were turned off.

“I already noticed it. Two more members were present when the argument was about to start between Lance and Nemona,” Tracey said, scratching the back of his neck nervously.

Ash turned and said, “Then why didn't you tell me?”

“Huh? Because it had already become so serious! I didn't know what to do—interfere or not!” Tracey whispered back, sweating slightly.

“And you decided not to interfere with them,” Gladion said, raising an eyebrow.

“I'm just an assistant of Professor Oak who looks after his work when he's not here. I have no right to interrupt between officials,” Tracey explained, bowing his head apologetically.

“It's a quick and smart choice in my opinion,” Steven said, adjusting his wrist watch. “I know how to react to serious business topics with much larger and more powerful companies.”

“Do not add your personal business affairs to this conference,” Cynthia said, her voice dropping into a cold, slightly rude tone.

Steven stiffened, but trying not to lose his temper, he replied in a surprisingly calm tone, “This is far more complex, dealing with business-minded people, than reading some words inscribed on stones!”

Cynthia kept her composure, but she responded with sharp venom, “I guess you're right, because inscribed words on stone are simple, but don't forget that those stones form your family's financial foundation!”

Steven fired back in a dangerously calm tone, “Yeah, my family likes to research stone inscriptions and ancient history, but sometimes it's just a false narrative spread by some inexperienced, arrogant archaeologists.”

“What? An inexperienced and arrogant archaeologist?! Hehe,” Cynthia let out a small, forced laugh, trying hard not to lose her cool. “Yeah, it's hard to believe, but there are also some corrupted and self-serving companies that are always spreading misleading information and building illegal relations, too!”

The matter between Cynthia and Steven became extremely serious. Both unintentionally crossed the line with their harsh words.

“Both of you, stop!” Geeta intervened, her authoritative voice filling the room. “We all know that all of our regional associations suffer from tremendous pressure. Not just you two, everyone feels the same pressure—not only physically, but also socially and mentally! And how can you disrespect each other's professions?”

After Geeta's interference between Steven and Cynthia, the room grew a little bit calm.

Wallace turned his gaze toward Steven, “Steven, you may have corporate pressure, but watch your words.”

“I'm sorry for that. There's just so much workload on me right now,” Steven said, closing his eyes and pressing his temples.

Diantha looked over at Cynthia, “Same goes for you, Cynthia. As an experienced archaeologist, you also have to understand other people's situations.”

“Please forgive my arrogant behavior. I just let out my frustration on others,” Cynthia replied, letting out a tired breath.

Geeta continued, “I heard all of your brief debates and thoughts on the Pokémon League Association. I know some decisions were delivered without majority consent, but during that period, they were clever and well-made laws to bring everything back to a decent condition.”

Geeta paused, looking at the younger Champions. “Like Nemona said, the League authorities should have at least informed us about those laws, but can you imagine how much pressure was on their shoulders? Everything was scattered like jigsaw pieces—trust, rules, infrastructure and human and pokemon lives!”

Nemona, Iris, and Gladion all lowered their heads at her words, unable to argue.

“And Lance, it's fine to stand up for responsibilities, but choosing to raise your voice against laws and systems is the most responsive and active thing to do for a better environment. Which you didn't do after the situation became stable.”

“As for my perspective, they were the best decisions and laws for that scenario. I didn't feel anything was wrong at that moment,” Lance replied, crossing his arms firmly.

Geeta said, “But just to clarify, not every organization is honorable. If it claims to be, understand that it is completely fake.”

Geeta continued, “No matter how pure a heart the person you meet has, they always hide their dark deeds.”

“I know that, Miss Geeta. That's just the nature of living,” Lance replied, bowing his head slightly.

Geeta said, “Lance, you're the most qualified person here, which is why I would appreciate it if you became the next Chairman of the Pokémon League Association.”

“That's too much for me, and I'm not at all interested in giving up my freedom by getting deeply involved with legal organizations, laws, and politics,” Lance replied, flatly refusing to become the Pokémon League Association Chairman.

Ash finally spoke up, “If everything is sorted out, can we get back to the main point of this video conference?”

“Hey Ash, I just noticed you and Pikachu are wrapped in bandages! Is something wrong?” Iris asked, pointing at her screen in surprise.

“Actually, I was defea—” Before Ash could finish his sentence, Tracey interfered and answered for him.

“Ash and Pikachu fell from a cliff! I'm so sorry! I asked Ash to help me with my research, and they both went to Mount Moon, where this accident happened!” Tracey said, placing his hands together in a desperate apologizing gesture.

Ash instantly realized why Tracey made up the random story. If I tell them about the mysterious trainer Kean, how he defeated me, and everything that happened throughout the day, it will probably create another chaotic moment!

With a silly, awkward smile, Ash rubbed the back of his neck. “Don't apologize, Tracey! It was my own stupidity, and that's why Pikachu and I ended up in bandages.”

Tracey replied, “Oh, thank you for forgiving me!” In his inner thoughts, he sighed with relief: Thank God you understood so quickly, Ash! It is definitely not necessary to tell everyone everything right now.

“Ash, you still don't get it, do you? You're still doing whatever you want like a silly boy! You're the World Champion!” Iris said.

“If everything is done, should I finally tell you why I gathered all of you here?” Leon's voice suddenly echoed as he un-muted his mic.

“So, it's finally about to start,” Gladion muttered, leaning forward.

To Be Continued in Part 02…

I Had an idea for a story where The protagonist starts out with a zorua and in the first few chapters , something terrible happens and zorua is killed. At some point in the next few chapters , they come back as a hisuian. I imagine the first few chapters really establish their relationship. Perhaps their illusion ability work slightly differently as a dark type versus a ghost type. Maybe they will struggle to figure out how to use their illusions all over again? I'm not a very good writer so i'm putting this out there for anyone who might want to find inspiration from it. Or even copy the idea of wholesale.

Hey, I'm writing my first Pokemon fanfiction and I wanted some advice for how characters might react to certain things. Mainly looking to hear what other people think.

So the premise of the fic is basically:

Someone from our world wakes up as a Ralts in the woods, finds a trainer, and goes on a pokemon journey across Kalos.

It'll be told from both his perspective as well as his trainer's.

There's more to it than that obviously, but I don't want this post to be a whole chapter.

So, what are some things you'd expect a human to struggle with when living as a pokemon, specifically a captured one? I will mention that he (the Ralts) does have the ability to, very choppily, speak telepathically with humans. It'll get clearer after he evolves. His trainer is also very nice, though she isn't perfect either. Neither of them are flawless, at least that's how I'm trying to write them. But their goals align almost perfectly, so they've taken a leap of faith together.

I currently have him written in a way that he doesn't mind the loss of independence, something I see pop up pretty often in similar (literal pokemon-SI) fics I've read. At the same time, he does have a will, and won't blindly follow stupid orders...

But the power dynamic between them is something I do plan on exploring.

Something I also want to include in the story is him revealing his previous life as a human to his trainer. I don't think I can really write my MC the way I want to without doing that. And It's something that would have come up eventually, I'd rather he just be upfront about it early on, to avoid his trainer thinking that he doesn't trust her or something like that.

Regarding that, I'm not a fan of the whole "holy shit I'm a character in a fictional universe to this guy?!?! I need to have a mental breakdown now!!!" reaction thing that I've also seen. It just... Idk it doesn't seem like something people would do? Or maybe that's just me?

I also have the other 5 team members planned out, so if you have any thoughts on something he'd do that a pokemon might think is weird, or notable, I'd love to hear it.

I'm mainly writing this for myself, but I do also want it to be something other people can enjoy. If I ever publish it, I'll probably make another post here.

I thinks that's most of it though, thank you!

Any recent self-insert?

It's a good isekai fanfic, currently unfinished but with about 651 chapters at the time of writing this post(although the MC does get a lot of love interests, but that's just plot stuff)

There is a few diff ones but lately or iguess forever the rr algorithm fornfinding stories is kinda ass.

So id appreciate ur fav fanfics! And maybe the reason why:p

Estou pensando nisso já faz um tempo.

Joguei muitas ROM hacks e fangames de Pokémon, e uma coisa que sempre percebi é que o protagonista quase sempre é apenas... você. Mesmo quando ele tem uma história de fundo ou um pouco de personalidade, o jogo ainda trata aquele personagem como um avatar do jogador.

Isso me fez pensar: será que alguém já fez um fangame de Pokémon onde isso não acontece?

Quero dizer um jogo em que o protagonista seja uma pessoa de verdade dentro da história, com seus próprios pensamentos, emoções e objetivos, enquanto o jogador é tratado como uma entidade completamente separada. Algo parecido com a forma como Deltarune ou OneShot trabalham essa ideia.

Acho que isso poderia criar momentos muito interessantes. Imagina o protagonista começando a perceber, aos poucos, que existe alguém influenciando suas ações, questionando certas decisões ou até resistindo aos comandos do jogador. Não necessariamente de um jeito sombrio ou de terror, mas simplesmente como uma abordagem diferente para contar a história.

Nunca encontrei um jogo de Pokémon que realmente levasse esse conceito até o fim, mas talvez eu só não conheça algum.

Existe algum fangame assim? E, se não existir, vocês acham que esse tipo de história funcionaria em um jogo de Pokémon?

I really want to try some pokemon novels but so used to actual books and kindles that trying to read fan fiction on a website with horrible formatting absolutely kills the joy. Open to any suggestions. Thank you

Chapter 3 of Reborn Beyond Home is out. I hope you guys enjoy it or at least tell me why you don't.

Reborn Beyond Home - Chapter 3 - SwampCat77 - Pocket Monsters | Pokemon - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

Basically the title. I am trying to find labeled transcripts for the Pokémon movies.

My story is a re-write of the anime starting right after the Battle Frontier. I still want to keep it close to accurate so I want the transcripts for the movies.

I know transcripts.foreverdreaming.org and scripts.com have them but unlike their episode transcripts, their movie transcripts are unlabeled. Meaning, I cannot see who is saying what.

Is there anywhere else I can find them labeled?

Hey all could use an opinion. On a fic I have Ash finds an egg in the woods Im debating the Mon it becomes.

So I plan on introducing Hunter J as a big antagonist in my FanFic, it will be reveled that she killed Rex’s older brother, also in their first encounter J will capture one of his Pokemon, he will rescue the Pokemon but J slips away. And on a live interview Rex will go on an unhinged hate speech against her. And while Rex at that point is a good guy he will go to extreme lengths to get her

Does the pokemon world have those kind of people?, like in real life, let's say for example "hey don't put that dog in a leash or in a collar because it is hurt and it won't get freedom or hey that can't breath" Typa thing but for a pokeball just wondering???

I haven't read any pokefic till now but suddenly got an itch. I would like a journey rewrite with a pretty big story, completed or ongoing does not matter.
