comment
A Professor and a Student is a Pokémon fanfic by LeDiz.Ash seemed determined to stay in Alola, and Kukui had a loft going to waste. He'd boarded students before; he didn't expect anything special out of the experience. As it turns out, Ash isn't the only one who's going to be learning a lot this year.The fic is completed. It has two pseudo-sequels in the form of Adults But not Grown-Ups and Return.

Retired Badass: Kukui won a Kanto Pokemon League back in his youth, though he lost to Lance during his Elite Four challenge. He also once completed the island challenge.

comment
Not-So-Harmless Villain: Kukui was willing to pass Team Rocket off as a Harmless Villain group like Team Skull considering how lightly Ash and the others from Pallet Town take them (mostly thinking them just being idiots), but then he notes that they could have done some serious harm to them by trying to steal the Lapras and stranding the students in the middle of the ocean with a rising tide. Brock later on admits that most people tend to forget or overlook how dangerous the situations they place him in simply because Ash handles them well.

Unwanted Assistance

comment
Unwanted Assistance: During the climax of the story, Professor Kukui’s second in command, Banyan, explained that he was trying to help his superior by attempting to dispel the conspiracy theory in the lab. If he got Ash to admit that he was just making things up, that would mean that Kukui wasn’t hiding some big secret on behalf of the Pokémon League. Professor Kukui is not amused by this “help�; first of all, it was bad science, discounting an incredibly valuable first-hand source for the sake of Kukui’s “office rep.� More importantly, it meant that Banyan just added to the four adults already interrogating the young teenager by trying to get him to recant everything.

Elephant in the Living Room: Ash and Delila both avoid discussing his more dangerous adventures with each other, and skirt around the topic of his status as The Chosen One and the strain it's placed on him. This is eventually revealed to stem back to an argument they had after the events of Pokémon 3.

Occam's Razor
 A Professor and a Student (Fanfic) / int_2e13acd1
comment
Occam's Razor: When Professor Kukui’s coworkers start looking into Ash’s background, they discover that the Pokémon League has taken down the recordings of the Lily of the Valley conference he participated in way ahead of schedule. They use this as a major point in their growing conspiracy theory that the League was intentionally hiding Ash’s existence from the public eye. When Kukui learns the full story, he thinks that Tobias was the more likely culprit. The League’s major concern is promoting the art of battling and educating the public about Pokémon; watching Tobias’ battles wouldn’t teach people much more than “Somehow get a Legendary on your side and steamroll the competition.�

Destination Defenestration: Delia remembers perfectly well when Ash got thrown out of a window and nearly to his death in Pokémon 3 and worries that things like that won't stop. It led to the first falling out they'd had and at this point she makes it a habit of not asking him about the details because she may not be able to handle it.

But that's not what it looks like to some people: Olivia eventually confesses that the Kahuna were panicking when he arrived in Alola because they thought him being there meant disaster would soon follow.

Another is aimed at Tobias when Kukui hears about him using a Darkrai and a Latios to win a tournament. Catching a Legendary is viewed as a rare, almost unheard of event, and since they're usually a force of nature given form with important duties, using them for cheap wins in tournaments is viewed incredibly negatively, and usually invites the local Elite Four to intervene and forcibly release the Legendary in question.

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Ash's childish eccentricities get just as much focus as his years of finely honed battle prowess. In the first chapter, Kukui gets a list of the astonishing amount of Pokemon Ash scanned with the Pokedex, and the impressive Pokemon he has caught and trained. Then he looks at Ash, currently lounging around and admiring Rowlet's soft feathers.

Culture Clash: Kiawe and Ash almost come to blows over one. Kiawe sees as Ash as being disrespectful and holding back by not using the Electrium Z-Crystal, whereas Ash believes that it's disrespectful to use powerful moves that he's not completely confident in using and waits til he and Pikachu practice enough till they can't get it wrong (especially since he's aware that not everyone is as resistant to electricity as he is so a misfire could get someone hurt). They get into a flat out fight over it.

Free-Range Children
 A Professor and a Student (Fanfic) / int_84c5ec0b
comment
Free-Range Children: Once Trainers from the East, like Ash, become of legal age, they're basically free to do whatever they want. The fic explores a number of elements of how this differs from Alolan kids, who are treated as minors much longer. Technically speaking, Ash is considered an adult in legal terms and Kukui doesn't have really any sway over him barring Ash choosing to defer to him. He's not his guardian, but his boarder. However, very few people in Alola would hold him to the responsibilities of an adult.

The Chosen One: Deconstructed with Ash. All of the constant world-saving has put an immense amount of pressure and stress on him, and it seems like the world itself won't stop putting him in situations where it's necessary. Even his time in Alola appears to be another world-saving event. Also deconstructed with his mother and Kukui, both of whom are painfully aware that one day Ash might not return home because he'll die in the process.

Commonality Connection: One of the reasons Professor Kukui and Ash get along so well is that they are practically the only Trainers in Alola with experience in the professional battle circuit. As much as some of Ash's traits baffle him, Kukui is often able to see where he's coming from in terms of training and battle strategy, while Ash's more sheltered classmates are completely mystified.

Eastern regions like Kanto tend to have more rigid divides between Pokemon and humans, compared to Alola and even other regions in the east. Kukui repeatedly notes how much Ash defies the Kanto stereotype by being extremely close to his Pokemon. When the issue of Pikachu's Pokeball comes up, Ash notes that he usually has to explain it early on, but the Alolans don't notice anything odd about it.

Defeating the Undefeatable
 A Professor and a Student (Fanfic) / int_9e10b88d
comment
Defeating the Undefeatable: Discussed. Professor Kukui and Ash know from their own journeys that there is very little that is "undefeatable" in the Pokemon World. On the lower end of things, Kukui tells RotomDex that type matchups really mean very little between highly trained Pokemon, but he is disbelieved. Later on, Ash comments that a lot of regions have techniques (such as Mega Evolution and Z-Moves) that are seen as so powerful that everyone is stunned if they witness them being beaten without a similar advantage. Later on, this trope is Played for Drama; Professor Acacia starts to believe that Ash must have some ability to make Pokemon stronger if he was able to compete in the Kalos League without Mega Evolution, and Ash finds himself struggling to explain that it really was mostly a matter of training hard with his Pokemon and preparing good strategies.

comment
Not Hyperbole: Kukui reads about how Ash's Pokemon tend to use their moves on him, as a sign of affection. He assumed that meant that they were showing the moves off, at a safe distance, but Lillie's comments on Ash's training style makes him realize that they literally do attack him. Ironically, it's implied that Kukui's game counterpart does the exact same thing as part of his research.

 A Professor and a Student (Fanfic) / int_aabe2fb
comment
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Eastern regions like Kanto tend to have more rigid divides between Pokemon and humans, compared to Alola and even other regions in the east. Kukui repeatedly notes how much Ash defies the Kanto stereotype by being extremely close to his Pokemon. When the issue of Pikachu's Pokeball comes up, Ash notes that he usually has to explain it early on, but the Alolans don't notice anything odd about it. In addition, battle styles are noted to differ greatly between regions, with the more direct Hoenn vs the more combo preferring Sinnoh vs the blunt Kanto as an example. Ash Ketchum is seen as extremely independent despite his age in Alola where he's still a minor compared to Kanto where he's a legal adult.

Take That!
 A Professor and a Student (Fanfic) / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: One is aimed at the infamous G.S Ball, with one of Kukui's fellow scientists referring to it as 'the premier example of a failed research experiment'. Another is aimed at Tobias when Kukui hears about him using a Darkrai and a Latios to win a tournament. Catching a Legendary is viewed as a rare, almost unheard of event, and since they're usually a force of nature given form with important duties, using them for cheap wins in tournaments is viewed incredibly negatively, and usually invites the local Elite Four to intervene and forcibly release the Legendary in question.

Bothering by the Book

comment
Bothering by the Book: Kukui does this to slow down one of his co-workers from getting an interview with Ash by stating they have to do it by the book. So when they do, they keep Kukui from hearing the interview since it has to be confidential by the book. That being said, the moment it becomes clear that they're overstepping boundaries, Kukui intervenes.

Adaptational Explanation

comment
Adaptational Explanation: In canon, Ash has expressed multiple times that he wants to catch a Dunsparce, but has never succeeded. In Adults but not Grown-ups (the first pseudo-sequel to this fic), Ash explains that his dad has one for a partner, which he considers to be "so cool", and that he's always wanted one just like it.

Classified Information

comment
Classified Information: The events of the Kalos league seem to be this. It's mentioned that they've confiscated footage, deleted it off the internet, and censored documents, likely because of Lysandre's attempt to wipe out the world (known as the Kalos Crisis). Ash himself seems to be extremely mum on it and gets very quiet. Then it turns out that most of the information related to Ash is censored, including his conference battle against Tobias. Because of that, several of Kukui's colleagues are basically trying to fish information out of him about what they believe is a conspiracy.

Tracey complains that the political movers of the Kanto Pokemon League, who have met Ash under less than mundane situations, have accused him and Professor Oak of lying about Ash taking a year to go back to school, when it's more likely that he's on a secret mission for Lance or the Rangers. Tracey admits they have a point.

Happily Married: Kukui frequently and affectionately refers to his wife Burnet in his narration, who's currently away on research. Much to the author's annoyance, this creates a Continuity Snarl with the anime when Burnet shows up there as a mere acquaintance of Kukui. Then they got married in show.

My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Kanto trainers tend to have a strict divide between themselves and Pokemon, seeing them as just their partners for battle. This is why Kukui is surprised that Ash is extremely close to his Pokemon, and often will let *them* choose to join him rather than the other way around.

Seen It All: Ash of course. This appears to be a recurring plot point. Notably when Legendaries are concerned. Unlike Kiawe and Kukui ,Ash doesn't see getting a Z-Ring from Tapu Koko as a big deal (this is basically par for the course for him). However, it's deconstructed in that Ash's failure to understand why this is so important to the Alolans creates major friction between him and Kiawe. Not just Ash. Even Tracy and Professor Oak just consider most of the things he's done ordinary.

Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: Ash does this by accident, simply by virtue of being mentioned in a conversation.

Taking Advantage of Generosity: Ash offered to have interviews with the Alolan Professors since he usually doesn't refuse to help anyone who asks.
