What if by a twist of fate Ash was not the happy go lucky boy he was supposed to be? 
Living with a widowed mother, bullied by most of the other children and a strong will to become a Pokemon Master one day, changed him and he became the cold, serious and hard working young man he is today. This is the story of his adventures in Kanto with his arch-enemy Gary Oak and the girl who was crushing on him since...forever, Leaf Green.

With a trusty Ralts by his side he begins his grand adventure into the Kanto region not as the pathetically weak, loud and obnoxious trainer he was supposed to be, but as the serious, hard working and cold persona that listens to none and goes his own way. But the dark lurks in the corner as an old threat re-emerges...Team Rocket.

Can he stop the evil people threatening to destroy his homeland? Can he become the Pokemon Master he wills to be? Will he find the love of his life in his childhood friend?

This is a story to answer those questions...This is a story of the spirit of adventure...Of friends and rivalries...Of love and hate...Of happiness and sorrow...But most of all this is the story of your choices in life. This is about how a path you choose affects you.

"...In the end...It doesn't matter who you are or what you've become. What matters at the end of the day are the decisions you made...The paths you chose...The roads you walked and where that has led you...Now...As I stand upon the roof of my office...My extra cool champion cape fluttering in the wind behind cliché style *chuckle*...And look back at the choices I made...I feel regretful...Guilty. And yet...I walk ahead...I move on with a smile on the face...Because...I learnt from my mistakes...My shortcomings...And became better than I used to be...And now...I know what truly matters in the end is...
                             ...Going My Way..." 

- Ash Ketchum, 19 Year Old Pokemon Champion.

Pokémon Red by Gaidaros
80 parts Complete
A 10-year-old boy, with a goal to become a Pokemon Champion, sets out on a journey across the Kanto Region. A journey charged with friendships, fun, and battles. Team Rocket, a criminal organization with disastrous plans is hiding mind-blowing secrets. Buckle up, cause it's going to be one hell of an adventure! Frequently Asked Questions: Q - What's special about this fanfiction? A - The books have an architectured story, from mysteries to time travel. From being awfully childish to brutally mature. Also, the protagonist ages. Q - Who are the Main Protagonists and the rivals? A - Red, a character from the Pokemon Video Games is the main protagonist along with his best friend Leaf. Whereas the character Blue (also known as Gary in the anime) is more of a frenemy than a rival. The main rivals would be Team Rocket Grunts - Cassidy and Butch as well as their Boss, Giovanni. Q - Is this story based on Pokemon Red or FireRed? A - The story has a few iconic moments from the games/manga but those events do not play a big part in the main story arc. Q - Is Ash Ketchum in it? A - The story takes place in its own universe. I try to bring some events from the games, the manga, and the anime. You get to see a different version of Ash Ketchum (close to how he has been depicted in the anime) in 2 chapters of this book. Q - Is Team Rocket the same as in the anime? A - While Cassidy and Butch are characters from the anime, they have a different overall character arc than in the anime. Team Rocket is darker than in any previous versions and has a purpose and a plan other than stealing. Giovanni's plan plays out slowly in the course of three books. Q - It has time travel? A - It does, time travel is hinted at in the first book with the actual "time traveling" in the second book. Q - "I hope the protagonist has a father, hahaha" A - Yes, he does. The character mostly appears in flashbacks but is an important character.

A what if I was in Pokemon fanfic. Once a upon a world, there was humans and creatures that are called "Pokemon". The humans and these so called "Pokemon" lived in harmony.. well, not exactly. There was an organization called "Team Rocket". Their evil boss, Giovanni wanted to use an army of Pokemon to take over the Kanto region. However, this plan of mind changed when he wanted to take over the Pokemon World due to having many powerful pokemons that he can use for his own gain. He theorized that there was a another universe that there was a world just like the world he was living in but different. He and all people was created by this world. He called this world, "Earth" and therefore it was called "The Reality". However, when he told this to everyone, they laughed at him for being stupid. Giovanni wanted to prove them wrong by forcing his workers to research about it to see if this so called "The Reality" is real. Few weeks later.. It was proven true and Giovanni was very proud about it. The workers told him that they'll send a portal to "The Reality" but however, it will lead to someone's bedroom but Giovanni doesn't care and wanted to experiment on the person when they go through it so he orders them to send the portal to "The Reality". Little bit did he know that this will change EVERYTHING and will regret it soon enough. I don't own Pokemons nor its characters from the franchise. I also don't own the pictures on some of the chapters and the picture in the cover was from Google but I edited it. I will have my OCs in here. This idea is inspired by @pokemon-fox120. WARNING! There will be swearing and blood. Also uhm.. there's going to be dates and constant changing.

Time. Space. Reality. Sometimes, even the smallest changes can reshape everything you know. In this twisted retelling of Ash Ketchum's story, a single decision creates a ripple that changes his life - and the world around him - forever. The story begins not when Ash turns 10, but when he is just five years old, attending the Pallet Town summer camp. But unlike the familiar tale, this time it isn't Ash who helps Serena when she gets lost - it's Gary Oak. From that moment, their fates begin to diverge. Serena grows close to Gary, and their bond strengthens through kindness and shared moments. Ash, left on the sidelines, watches as his chance for friendship slips further away. Lonely and overlooked, Ash finds an unexpected companion in Pikachu - a Pokémon who, like him, carries the weight of betrayal. Their shared pain creates a connection deeper than words, and together they forge a bond rooted in trust and survival. But even with Pikachu by his side, Ash's bitterness grows. The laughter and warmth of others seem distant, and every promise made to him is broken. As the years pass, the scars of loneliness shape Ash into someone very different from the eager, optimistic boy we once knew. By the time his journey as a Pokémon Trainer begins, his heart is already hardened. His desire to become a Pokémon Master remains - but his reasons are darker, driven by a need to prove his worth to a world that left him behind. Meanwhile, Gary Oak becomes the heart of this new tale - not as Ash's rival, but as its true hero. Though confident and talented, Gary carries his own regrets, haunted by the knowledge that he failed to reach out to Ash when it mattered most. As Gary travels alongside Serena and builds his own legend, he finds himself walking a fine line between his dreams and the shadow of his old friend's growing darkness.

What if Ash is a coma? This would explain why Ash and his friends don't age. If this is true, Ash's story could restart again and introduce characters that have not made an appearance yet in the anime. If they did, what would they be in Ash's life? This is a my dream Pokémon TV Series which will probably never happen. Summary: Red, Blue, and Leaf have been inseparable ever since they can remember. Now it's time for them to leave the town where they were raised and set out on their own to become Pokemon Trainers. After meeting with Professor Oak and getting their first Pokemon, Red's little brother, Ash Ketchum, fell into a coma. On their journey, the three trainers will battle against Gym Leaders, Team Rocket and a mysterious Pokemon. This is an alternative universe of Pokémon. It has every character from video games, anime, and manga. All your favorites will be there. What is the relationship between Red and Ash in your story? If Blue is in the story, what is his relationship with Gary? You mentioned Leaf is the story, who Ash's and Gary's third and what their relationship is? Red and Ash are reimagined as brothers and Red is the oldest. Also to add, Blue and Gary are reimagined as brothers too and Blue is the oldest. Green does and appear and is Ash's and Gary's third and she is reimagined as Leaf's sister. Leaf is also the oldest. Red, Blue, and Leaf are 14 years old and Ash, Gary, and Green are 10 years old.

Our Promise, Our Future by JohtoAmour64
90 parts Complete
After winning the Kalos League and keeping their promise, Ash and Serena continue their journey together. From new regions, to new Pokemon, to new battles and new experiences. Whatever lies ahead, they don't know, but they will face it together. This is a sequel to my Our Promise one-shot (which you can read if you'd like for some extra exposition but it's not required). I kept looking over it and I saw more potential in it, but instead of going back to that story, I decided to keep it a one-shot and make the sequel a multi-chapter story. I don't know how many chapters I'll write, but I'll try to make it long enough to be considered a good read. I do know that I don't have an uploading schedule, so new chapters will most likely appear at random. I hope you'll all enjoy my first attempt at a multi-chapter Pokemon story. Fair warning though. This story will have swearing and some mature topics in it, so be prepared for stuff like that. So please enjoy reading Our Promise, Our Future! Lifespan: 12/30/21-10/27/23 1/19/22: 1k reads!!!!

The Ketchum Family by Razor_Keyboard
77 parts Ongoing Mature
This is the story of what happens after Ash wins the Masters Tournament. All our heroes attend a celebration in honor of the new Monarch. What will happen when Ash and Serena finally reunite? Where will their paths lead next? How will their relationship change as they get older? Info: I have written this story to be very much like the anime. I try very hard to stay true to the characters and portray how I believe they would change as they grow older and gain life experience. All of my chapters are long and full of description, character development and worldbuilding. If you like fun, well thought-out stories with humor, drama, and action, you should like this work. Rating: PG-13 with moments of strong sexuality. There's no profanity or graphic sex. Any sex scenes are poetically written. Some of the romantic scenes are quite sensual, so be aware. As I said, I try to stay true to the anime and that means keeping 'dark' story elements to a relative minimum. There's plenty of intense Pokemon Action and some scary moments, but nothing that veers into gratuitous violence. As far as 'intimate' stuff goes, there are a few sex scenes but they are not gratuitous. I keep things poetic and beautiful, not smutty. That being said, at times, things will get very steamy and intense. As a general rule, if there's something edgy in a chapter I will put a small warning at the beginning. I'm not here to shock anyone. Additionally, as far as ages go, Ash and Serena's age (and any other characters of comparable age) should be considered to be 18 at the start of this story. A lot of time has passed since Ash started out on his journey and although, for now, he is a child at heart, he is actually an adult. Now that their journeys are ending and relationships are beginning, they will finally start experiencing more of what life has to offer. Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. This is a work in progress.

"Over the years of evolution, the Charizard species lost its Dragon typing due to climate changes, lack of need and other factors etc." "A Pokemon evolves through battle.
