So begins Traveler, by The Straight Elf, a massive Alternate Universe retelling of Pokémon: The Series with significant crossover elements from the games. Traveler is a complex, in-depth Reconstruction of the Pokémon mythos, following a more intelligent and driven Ash into a world where creatures of incredible power are commonplace, and beings of legend wait in the wings. Instead of sleeping in and receiving the iconic Pikachu, Ash receives a male Nidoran from Professor Oak. From there the story sharply and rapidly diverges from the Anime as Ash departs on his journey, becomes embroiled in the schemes of Team Rocket, finds friends and rivals, gains powerful mentors and deadly enemies, confronts the savagery of nature and the evil of humanity, and creates for himself a family and a name as he pursues his dream: Becoming a Pokémon Master.Also has a canon supplementary side-story called Traveler: Recollections. A page for it can be found here.

 Traveler (Fanfic) / int_16ad6f7f
comment
"It" Is Dehumanizing: Ash is quite insistent that Pokémon should be referred to as "he" or "she" rather than "it" as they're sentient beings, not things. Dazed refers to Sneasel as "It" due to a strong dislike for the dark type. Agatha persistently only refers to Tobias as "It" after whatever happened to him six years ago.

The Worf Effect: Despite being one of, if not the, strongest trainers in the world, Lance is defeated twice, by Mewtwo and Moltres, to show just how overwhelmingly powerful Legendary Pokemon are. Moltres is crushed in battle by Mewtwo to demonstrate how powerful it is.

Always Someone Better
 Traveler (Fanfic) / int_19d1c1ae
comment
Always Someone Better: Sure, you can make it to the Conference — but you'll probably be thrashed by, for instance, an Unovan with a Hydreigon or the Champion of Orre. That's the caliber of Conference-winning trainers... but very few of those even beat one of the Elite Four. Then, of course, the Champions — Lance, Steven and Cynthia — are on another level to the Elite Four. Above the Champions are naturally powerful Pokemon that have been around for centuries; Pokemon like the First Champion's Rhydon, the Clefable guarding the Moon Stone, The Matriarch and Patriarch Nidoqueen and Nidoking, and the King Under the Mountain, an absolutely titanic Onix that's over 200 feet long. And, for the suicidal, there are the Legendaries.

Underestimating Badassery
 Traveler (Fanfic) / int_1a8dc238
comment
Underestimating Badassery: While far less common after Ash attends the Indigo Conference, someone occasionally still thinks they can take the rookie who not only came in second place, but also has faced nine separate Legendary Pokémon and lived. Sorta. One of the worst examples is Daisy's Gardevoir who not only underestimates Ash, but even declares that she doesn't fear Mewtwo's power. Before breaking her psychic link through pure willpower, Ash is somewhat surprised Mewtwo didn't smite her for such a declaration.

Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Becoming the Champion of a region's League means you have to defeat the current Champion in battle. Justified in that if you're capable of defeating a Champion, you're capable of raising, training, leading and commanding the respect of a team of incredibly dangerous and powerful creatures, giving you a grest deal of skills that are useful in being the Champion.

Alternative Calendar: The standard dating method used by most Leagues is P.I.L which according to, Word of God stands for Post-Indigo League which began when the First Champion unified Kanto and Johto. With the current date set as 999 PIL. Though predating the PIL system, the God-King's reign marked the beginning of a Sinnoan system that is still used today.

Power at a Price
 Traveler (Fanfic) / int_1ebbdddb
comment
Power at a Price: The Hashimoto clan's most secret and vile technique involves merging a freshly created ghost with a newborn infant, turning them into what's either a ghost in human form or a human with the powers of a ghost. However, at twenty they begin rapidly aging until they're functionally twice as old as they should be. Agatha looks like a withered old crone despite being only 52.

The Juggernaut: Torrent, Nidoking and Infernus — to various degrees. Michael's Snorlax, which barrels through (an admittedly tired) Infernus and Nidoking, before finally falling to Tangrowth. Steven's Metagross, which manages to tank Ash's entire team. Cynthia's Garchomp (Princess) manages to fight four of Ash's team at once and win, albeit barely.

Wrong Genre Savvy: Word of God states Tobias believed he was in the Lighter and Softer world of canon where Defeat Means Friendship even when it comes to the Legendaries. Unfortunately for him, he's in the Darker and Edgier world of Traveler where Legendary Pokemon are Physical Gods that don't take kindly to someone provoking them.

Mythology Gag: When Jonathan suggests they have their big match atop Mt. Silver, Ash says he'll be waiting but he might not say much. The first champion's starter Pokemon being a Rhydon may be a nod to the fact that the first Pokemon to be created was a Rhydon The Legendary Beasts appear to fight the Fake Entei in the same order they were created. The lightning that struck the tower, Raikou, the fire that burned it, Entei, and the rain that doused it, Suicune. Jonathan complains at one point about facing Gary after having fought a dozen trainers while trekking through the wilderness for a week while the latter was fresh from a Pokémon Center, something from the games that drove players crazy.

Verbal Tic: Dazed hardly ever uses a person's actual name. For instance, Ash is "Trainer-Friend", while Lance is "Champion-Mentor". Also, being a Hypno, a Pokémon that has no mouth, she refers to mouths as "Face Gashes". Might extend to all powerful Psychic Pokémon. Pierce's Metagross calls Ash "Conqueror", while Mr. Stone's Metagross called Pierce "Traitor-Thief-False Kin" and his Metagross "Betrayer".

Master of None: Generalists, trainers who don't specialize in specific type, usually struggle in battles with high level trainers with few becoming Pokémon Masters due to how hard it is to master multiple types. Whereas a fire specialist would only need to learn from a single fire type master for advanced training, a generalist would need to find several master trainers to train under.

Small Name, Big Ego: Ash's Golduck is a rather arrogant bully but doesn't have nearly the power to back up it's attitude unless it's in the Seafoam Caverns during Ice Time when Articuno empowers all the nearby water and ice types. Daisy's Gardevoir insists that she is powerful enough to end Ash and his team if necessary and can easily circumvent the brands left on Ash by various Legendary Pokémon. Not only is Ash somewhat surprised Mewtwo doesn't smite her on the spot for it, noting the Legendary uses more power in an instant than Gardevoir has in it's whole body, but he actually throws off her psychic link himself.

Enemy Within
 Traveler (Fanfic) / int_2fb3170e
comment
Enemy Within: A strange case. Following the events of New Island, Ash has a fragment of Mewtwo within him - but Mewtwo has no interest in taking over Ash. The only time he did so was to communicate with Lance. Mewtwo has continued to view the world through Ash's eyes, and in a particular case of Nightmare Fuel, once casually stopped Ash's heart for a beat for simply thinking that the Metagross colony was more impressive than Mewtwo.

Humans Are Flawed
 Traveler (Fanfic) / int_32e279c4
comment
Humans Are Flawed: In a moment of quiet contemplation, Ash muses that humans and pokémon are inherently incomplete beings, which motivates them to eat, battle, and grow stronger. By contrast, Suicune is a complete being and wishes for others to be as well, making Ash believe that spending too much time in his presence could very well rob him of his motivation to ever do anything again.

Asteroids Monster: Muk, unlike any other Pokémon, doesn't die when blown up but instead turns into several Grimer. Metagross reproduce by detaching a leg (it grows back) that turns into a Beldum. If their colony's numbers are dangerously low, a single Metagross can be sacrificed and turned into dozens of Beldum.

Boring, but Practical
 Traveler (Fanfic) / int_39b8d3d6
comment
Boring, but Practical: Trainer Meals are similar to MREs in that they're not that good, but they're healthy and last a very long time before spoiling. Despite having a surplus of money, Ash still uses them while on the road as most food would spoil during the sometimes weeks spent between cities. The Pokémon League usually does their best to make dangerous pokémon less likely to attack by simply providing them whatever they were attacking others for. The Arid Zone was made safer by building several watering stations so pokémon no longer needed to attack humans for whatever liquid they could get in the desert.

Reality Warper: Top-level Psychics and Ghosts. Really large-scale or potent effects need Legendaries or thousands of powerful psychics or ghosts, but enforcing Because Destiny Says So and creating localized non-Euclidean space are within the grasp of massed normal psychics. Legendary Psychics, on the other hand, treat the laws of physics as a price sheet rather than rules. They can break them, but it requires effort.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 Traveler (Fanfic) / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: In general, Champions crush anyone other than other Champions, Elite Four members or Legendaries. Legendaries crush any non-Legendary. Ash's rematch with Samurai is ridiculously one-sided given that Samurai's barely improved in the past several months while Ash already has all eight badges. Mewtwo vs the Mount Ember Moltres. Moltres is able to stay in the fight for a minute, but Mewtwo is never threatened and doesn't have to devote his full power to fighting Moltres. Fire Sphere Infernus vs the Shamouti Articuno and Zapdos. The birds don't know how to fight, just do flashy territorial displays. Infernus is a very good fighter, and now can match their power. Lugia has to take down Infernus to keep him from killing the Shamouti Birds. The Fake Entei versus the real Legendary Beasts. Even one is shown to be more than a match for it; so when the others show up, it's doomed. Subverted when it keeps regenerating and growing more powerful each time. A few months after the Indigo Conference, Ash helps train Amelia and Jonathan. Infernus fights Jonathan's Rhydon, Charizard, and Kingler simultaneously and, despite having an offensive and/or defensive weakness against all of them, still trounces them so thoroughly that Ash notes barely counted as more than a warmup for his Magmortar. Suicune fights all of Jonathan's, Amelia's, and Gary's teams at once and wins with ease despite holding back to a ludicrous degree.

Touched by Vorlons: Ash and Lance are each marked by at least one Legendary. Ash has been branded by several but none of them seem particularly strong, though Moltres' feather does respond to his emotions and the others tend to have unusual side effects. Meanwhile, Lance is much more deeply marked by Moltres, to the extent that it's weakening leaves him near death until it's strength is restored.

Always Second Best: Clair is this in comparison to Lance; her skill as a trainer can rival the Elite 4 and it's mentioned that had Clair been born in any other time she would have been the Drake of the Wataru, a title given only to the strongest and most skilled clan member of their generation. But she had the bad luck of having to compete with Lance, the youngest Champion to ever ascend to the position and generally regarded as the strongest Dragon Master and one of the strongest Trainers in the world.

Ash promptly has an Oh, Crap! moment when he realizes that there is more than one of some Legendaries.

Disproportionate Retribution: Golduck's response to Ash calling him out on being a case of Small Name, Big Ego? Firing a full power water gun at Ash's face, something that would have killed Ash had it landed.

Brought Down to Badass: The literally godly power the Legendary Birds and Lugia display when going all-out is a fraction of their true power, thanks to Lugia arranging for a mass sealing and weakening of the more dangerous Legendaries to keep them from wiping out humanity by accident.

Affably Evil: Jacqueline is quite friendly the entire time she converses with Ash and thinks of Pokémon as a trainer's brothers and sisters rather than pets or minions. She's also a Master level trainer who won't hesitate to kill anyone she views as evil and has a criminal record long enough that when Steven sends Ash her file, he has to send the record separately.

City Mouse: Ash learns that Gary Oak simply is not built for living in the wilds, with his various appliances such as a portable television and mini-fridge not being luxuries but necessities. To some extent, this also applies to his Pokémon, such as a Scizor that flinches whenever branches whip against him despite having metal skin.

No Challenge Equals No Satisfaction: Infernus convinces Ash to give up the power of the Unown by explaining that defeating enemies with "stolen power" is worthless. There's no satisfaction to be taken from crushing someone with power you didn't earn. This is a Call-Back to Ash's own argument when he convinced Infernius to surrender the power of the Flame Sphere.

Mutual Disadvantage
 Traveler (Fanfic) / int_57775436
comment
Mutual Disadvantage: When Ash wants to test one of his pokémon's growth, he prefers to face powerful pokémon of the same type, such as using Oz against Wattson and Infernus against Blaine, to cancel out any type advantage. Karen's usage of crippling status moves versus Ash and Lance's preference for overwhelming power. Lance notes that Karen's strategy can completely cripple theirs if done properly, but that she and her pokémon are on a razor's edge as even a single powerful hit can take them out of the match. According to Agatha, the real world and Distortion, aka what Is and what is Not, are naturally corrosive to one another. Ghosts, being pieces of the Distortion World, can only survive by possessing a corporeal form and feeding off the Aura of living things.

World's Strongest Man

World's Strongest Man: The First's Rhydon is considered the strongest non Legendary pokémon in the world. According to Lance, it would take himself and at least two Elite Four members to truly defeat it, and even then he'd fear for their teams. Other examples include the Guardian, the Matriarch, and the Patriarch, the ancient Clefable, Nidoqueen, and Nidoking who guard the Moon Stone. Lance is recognized as the strongest pokémon trainer in the world. Sabrina is recognized as the strongest Human Psychic possesing power said to be on par with an Alakazam. Steven's Metagross is stated to likely be the strongest trained pokémon there is, with even Lance's Dragonite and Cynthia's Garchomp unable to counter it.

Beware the Silly Ones: Tangela, and later Tangrowth, enjoys playing with the baby Pokémon near Pallet Town, and passes the time by childishly poking his team mates. His cells also grow at a rate so fast that they can regrow severed vines in a day, and can rip several thick walls out of the ground at a time. Not to mention his Effect Spores and draining moves, which were strong enough to completely drain Giovanni's Rhyperior. Eventually he even learns to use Ancient Power to manipulate magma.

Master of All: Cynthia is one of very few Pokémon Masters who doesn't specialize in a specific type. Much like Lance, she became recognized as a Pokémon Master at fourteen, which is even more impressive considering he specialized in the incredibly strong Dragon type.

Parrot Pet Position: Plume is fond of perching on Ash's shoulder. But unlike Pikachu in canon, she weighs over sixty pounds so Ash has trouble carrying her if he's not prepared. After she evolves to Pidgeot, she has to perch nearby as she's far too heavy to carry anymore.

Mugging the Monster
 Traveler (Fanfic) / int_7276d0de
comment
Mugging the Monster: The Rhydon Infernus picked a fight with soon after joining Ash's team? It's the single most powerful non-Legendary Pokémon in the world. Even Lance admits he'd need the help of at least one or two other Elite Four members to defeat it. Daisy's Gardevoir threatens to kill Ash if he ever does anything to threaten her trainer, thinking that the brands he carries from half a dozen Legendaries don't amount to much of anything. Unfortunately for her, not only has Ash fought beings that far outstrip her, he has enough Heroic Willpower to throw off her psychic link. A random rookie trainer relentlessly mocks Ash for his complete lack of musical talent, causing him to almost use Infernus in battle against her. After learning she only had two badges, he settles for using Sneasel and actually setting a wager for the battlenote Due to both his wage from the League and how overpowered his team is, Ash hadn't wagered money for any of his battles since the Indigo Conference.

Adaptational Badass: The Legendaries. Rather than Olympus Mons that are powerful but can be beaten and even captured by the right strategy, or even just a strong enough opponent, in Traveler, the Legendaries are just that, Legends: uncontrollable forces of nature that can impact whole nations by their mere presence, and whose full power can permanently change the shape of the world. Bruno is able to use aura to some degree, a skill he lacks in canon. Ace Trainers in the games are merely NPC trainers that are somewhat stronger than most. Here, they're ACE Trainers and are essentially the Pokémon Trainer equivalent of special forces like Navy Seals, SAS, and KGB. All Elite Four and League Champions (including former ones like Steven) have access to Mega Evolution.

Super-Empowering: Each of the Legendary Birds massively boost the power (and aggression) of any Pokémon of the same type by proximity alone. Later chapters reveal it can go the opposite way as well. Fire-type Pokémon are weakened by proximity to Suicune, who is a living embodiment of water.

Bullying a Dragon: Early on Infernus picks a fight with a massive Rhydon. Using his entire team, Ash only harms it enough for it to decide they're not worth bothering with. Crosses over with Mugging the Monster as while it was obviously powerful, Ash and Infernus had no idea it was the strongest pokémon used by the First Champion over a millennium ago. Averted much later when a Bug Catcher goes to challenge Ash, only to see his Kingdra following behind him. Said trainer promptly flees. Despite Ash defeating him several months prior, Samurai challenges him again while Ash is touring Kanto to re-challenge all the gyms. Ash irritably has Infernus roast his Pinsir. Infernus tries to cheap shot Moltres. It doesn't end well for him.

Logical Weakness
 Traveler (Fanfic) / int_83641c73
comment
Logical Weakness: Many Water-types can't effectively battle on land due to lacking a way to stay upright. As a result, Torrent sees little action until fully evolving. While Fire-types resist Ice attacks, the intense cold can weaken them anyway by lowering their body temperature. Also, if their flames aren't hot enough, Ice attacks melt into water which they don't resist. Naturally, they're also weakened in cold environments such as the Seafoam Caverns. Because Amelia's style favors slowly wearing away at her enemy's strength, an enemy with overwhelming power, such as Hydreigon, can sweep her entire team before they have a chance to wear it down. Flying-types, particularly large ones like Plume, can have trouble fighting indoors, even in spacious buildings like gyms, since they don't have enough room to maneuver properly or build up speed.

Crystal Dragon Jesus
 Traveler (Fanfic) / int_83adb272
comment
Crystal Dragon Jesus: Averted and somewhat played straight, Word of God says that while religion exists it has mostly faded into obscurity as the Legends secluded themselves from humanity. While many Legends had cults worshiping them in the past and the ones with sympathetic Legendaries that actually invested power into their acolytes were especially powerful. Kanto and Johto had the fewest, but what Legendaries they did have heavily interacted with the world for the most part. Lugia and Ho-Oh had vast influence in Johto, as seen with Ecruteak, and were venerated throughout Indigo. Articuno and Zapdos were aloof and really paid no attention for the most part, but you'd still find their worshipers. Their cult's strongholds were in wild and untamed places, or in isolated regions marked by Articuno like Seafoam. Hoenn actually had the least cults, generally importing worship of other regions' deities since they were historically a vast trade city. The Weather Trio only rarely surfaced, and by the time they made their Awakenings they'd usually be mostly forgotten, remembered only as horrific monstrosities that sunk empires and razed entire nations into desert. Rayquaza was the exception since it was far more active and easily seen, and the Draconids were at the center of its cult and erected the Sky Pillar. Nowadays Groudon doesn't really have any worshipers except in the Arid Zone (the desert in Hoenn) and Kyogre's worshipers tend to live in the outer reaches of the archipelago and make up a large number of Team Aqua. Sinnoh is one of the major centers of Legendary worship in the modern world. It's subsided somewhat, but Sinnoh's long and rich history with plenty of Legendary interference means that the people (who are highly traditional) still remember them. Shaymin was seen as a fertility god and defender of the natural world, Heatran as a volcanic spirit, but the major worship revolved around the Lake Guardians. Each had a cult that held major power - the Knights of Uxie, the Empathetic of Mesprit, and the Stalwart of Azelf - and played a huge role in cleaning up the absolute mess that Sinnoh became after the God-King's dynasty fell and Aura-forged abominations were everywhere. The Creation Trio and Arceus in an interesting Subversion of this trope are known only through the Kosmos a theatrical/historical document by a Sage of Uxie and are mostly unknown with The Lake Guardians receiving most of the worship which has survived in the modern era.

Gary is a recognized prodigy in pokémon training. As he himself stated he reached Top 8 as a rookie, the same place as Lance himself on his first year yet was overshadowed by Ash's record breaking feat of reaching the finals and nearly winning in his first year.

After Ash has an Imagine Spot about Mewtwo and the Legendary Birds being so awestruck by his hat that they stop their assaults on the world, Mewtwo levitates Ash's hat out of his reach. Ash is shocked that it was capable of making a joke. Ash generally isn't big on pranks or jokes (beyond being a Deadpan Snarker) but he greatly enjoys watching Sableye troll Daisy.

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu The general rule of thumb for messing with Legendaries is "Don't". Lawrence III is killed for doing so, and Tobias had something done to him by Darkrai that has Agatha insisting he (or rather "it") should not exist. Morty implies that offending Ghost types usually results in them killing the offender messily.

Crippling Overspecialization: Zigzagged. Among beginner trainers, specializing will leave trainers struggling against opponents who have a type advantage over them. In the higher ranks, such as among Pokémon Masters, specialists know their chosen type in and out, along with all their strengths and weakness and how to counter them, leaving generalists as the ones who can't keep up.

Difficult, but Awesome: Moves like Overheat, Draco Meteor, and Hyper Beam take large amounts of training to use properly, but a Pokémon that's strong enough can spam them without much difficulty. Until then, said moves can take several seconds to charge and leave the user too drained to fight afterwards.

Eldritch Location
 Traveler (Fanfic) / int_9bee1a7f
comment
Eldritch Location: Lavender Town, especially the Lavender Town Tower, to the point that it's become a Genius Loci. The older parts of Lavender Town never see any true sunlight, even in the middle of the day, and at night, the streets are absolutely filled with ghost types searching for living to prey upon. The Tower itself houses the spirits of anyone, human or pokémon, that have died within the town and have formed a single gesalt persona named Lavender. The top floor is where the dead are cremated and is covered in a layer of ash several inches thick along with pieces of small bones that did not completely burn in the crematoriums. An area of land known as the Dark World is completely impossible to access except on foot (satellites stop working and fliers lose all sense of direction) and is said to have impossible geographies such as eternally erupting volcanoes, mile long waterfalls appearing out of nowhere, hail falling in deserts, and night devouring the sun at high noon. Little is truly known except "something is terribly, terribly wrong" with the place. The Hale Mansion after being distorted by the Unown is covered in living crystal that (depending on the person) either sings an earthly chorus or stares with a multitude of eyes. Inside the mansion is a massive field the size of a town, endless voids, and other impossibilities that are all real rather than illusions. The Distortion World according to Word of God is a swirling, chaotic nexus of everything that is NOT. While simultaneously being Giratina's body and a plane of existence.

Foreshadowing: Ash being Giovanni's son was heavily foreshadowed prior to its official confirmation. Delia made several attempts to convince Ash not to challenge the Viridian Gym, while Giovanni himself was rather shocked once he met Ash and learned his name, and how he was related to Delia. It was enough for him to give Ash a chance to challenge his real team instead of sicking Mewtwo on him, whose on POV chapter drops several hints. In Chapter 27: Koga discusses with Bruno about Rocket Executive Domino and a boy with her implied to be Silver which according to Word of God is Ash's half brother.

Fan Boy: Max is a very stereotypical fanboy of Ash's. Ash is surprised to learn Max knows all his stats given that Ash himself doesn't. Max also tends to spout a lot of very uncomfortable questions, such as if it'd hurt if Tangrowth lost an arm and if Sneasel was responsible for Ash's facial scar. Contrast Brendan who's a fan but much calmer and able to converse easily with Ash.

No-Sell: Legendary Pokémon can simply ignore attacks from non-legendaries if they feel like it. Moltres generates a shield of fire so potent that even Lance's most powerful Pokémon can't breach it, though it limits his other options somewhat as long as Moltres continues to hold back. Mewtwo, in turn, generates psychic barriers strong enough that even an all-out attack from Moltres is completely ineffective. Clair's Kingdra and Torrent each manage to negate some of the other's moves. Torrent's water manipulation allows him to move Kingdra's water attacks aside while Kingdra causes one of Torrent's dragon attacks to explode in his face.

Oh, Crap!: After having trouble with an overpowered Dewgong in Seafoam Cavern, Ash panics upon seeing four massive Dewgongs with pups, marking them as mothers. Rather than fight, he simply runs. His fear at the Dewgongs is nothing compared to when he stumbles across a shrine at the bottom of the cavern that holds the sleeping form of Articuno, whom he accidentally awakens. Despite not recognizing it at the time, Ash knows full well it can and will kill him and his entire team.

Scars are Forever: Played straight with humans, generally averted with pokémon.

On the other hand, Seeker has a scar on her chest where fur won't grow due to Taking the Bullet for Ash when Golduck attacked him.

Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond

comment
Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: Samurai is fairly strong for a trainer in Viridian Forest, but he's still noticeably unskilled and never seeks to improve, being a Camper who's Only in It for the Money and deliberately seeks out trainers who are exhausted from traversing the forest. Chapter 44 states that Lance had always thought he could protect the entire world, but has recently learned that he was a "minor player in a game of unimaginable scope" due to the Legendaries. Clair is stated as being the strongest Gym Leader in Johto and capable of holding her own against the Elite Four but very much not ready to be considered a Pokémon Master. The Arid Zone has multiple pokémon that are far and away the strongest wild pokémon in the entire desert. Thorn-Stalk is the most powerful Cacturne but is subordinate to the Arid Lady, a large and powerful Sandlash. Both are definitively weaker than the Spirit of the Desert, a powerful but elderly Flygon, and the elderly Krookodile it befriended. Despite that, Ash knows at a glance (and so do they) that his Nidoking could outright manhandle them easily.

Improbable Aiming Skills: Steven's Metagross can snipe Plume while the latter is using Super-Speed to become nothing but a tan blur. When Suicune battles against all of Gary's, Jonathan's, and Amelia's teams at once, it easily negates their combined attacks with thousands of tendrils of water at once, such as plucking individual leaves of a Razor Leaf attack out of the air.

Actually, That's My Assistant: At Mt. Chimney, Ash is sent to meet a Torkoal known as The Eruption. He's impressed by both the size and apparent power of the eight foot tall specimen (normally, they're less than two), only to realize the real Eruption is the giant black boulder he spotted earlier. It's actually a two story tall Torkoal.

Curb Stomp Cushion: Ash's battle against Cynthia. He takes out two of her Pokémon but loses over half his team doing so. Then Ash nearly defeats Princess (her Garchomp) but the latter ultimately takes out his four remaining Pokémon even when fighting all of them at once. By the end of the events of Greenfield, Ash can fight the likes of Karen and Lance and take out a couple of their pokemon, though he never actually wins.

Shout-Out: Lance's second Dragonite is named Dov. His Dragonair is named Saph, which might be a shout-out to Saphira. His Kingdra, Mael, may be named after the Elder God of the Seas. The way Tate describes Phoebe and Sidney is very reminiscent of Padomaic entities in The Elder Scrolls series. In chapter 48, Ash mentions an Unovan movie poster of a giant Tyranitar battling a titanic Hydreigon alongside a colossal Butterfree.

Large and in Charge: Mamoru, the First's Rhydon, is around twenty feet tall, making him over three times the size of an average Rhydon and over twice the size of a Rhyperior. It's also the undisputed ruled of the Rhyhorn, Rhydon, and Rhyperior in Kanto. In general, the strongest Pokémon tend to be larger than average and are invariably highly respected by other Pokémon, if not outright leaders of their areas such as the Arid Lady, a Sandslash that's twice the size of an average one.

Beyond the Impossible: Dark-types are completely immune to psychic powers unless targeted with Miracle Eye.

The Guardian, the ancient Clefable that protects the Moon Stone, somehow uses the random-by-nature Metronome to perform any move it chooses to.

Side Bet: After the events of Pokémon 3, Ash sleeps for so long that several of the masters start placing bets on when he'll wake up. Karen wins. Lance set up a betting pool on the results of Ash's eventual battle against Clair. Lance, Bruno, Surge, Morty, Professor Oak, and Blaine all bet on Ash and won. Lance set up another bet on the results of Ash's battle with Fino Moore. He ended up elated enough with the results to buy Ash a new television for his room at the Indigo Plateau as a reward with his winnings.

Nothing Is Scarier
 Traveler (Fanfic) / int_cdfe12c3
comment
Nothing Is Scarier: Lavender Tower seriously disturbs Ash as he ascends to the top floor. While he doesn't see anything, he can still feel the oppressive aura of those buried there. With each new floor, Ash has to fight the urge to flee immediately. The second floor is filled with the graves of those whose lives were cut short and merely stepping onto the floor causes Ash to be suddenly consumed by pain as he's overwhelmed by their longing and spite. The fifth floor is completely devoid of any feeling, to the extent that Ash feels as if there's literally nothing there except the incense smoke so thick that it's more akin to a heavy fog. The sixth floor is filled with the feeling of fire and ash and steel, everyone buried there having fallen in defense of Lavender Town. On the seventh and final floor, Ash is immediately struck by his instincts screaming at him to leave. Everything is covered with incredibly thick layers of dust and the air is nearly solid with a phantasmal weight which drives Ash to his knees. After falling down, Ash finds bone fragments in the dust and realizes the "dust" is actually ash from cremated bodies. Then Ash learns why the tower itself feels alive. There's a true ghost at the top, made up of the spirits of thousands of dead, if not more, and less of a spirit and more of an Eldritch Abomination.

Training from Hell: Whenever Ash gets a chance to train with a truly elite trainer like Bruno or Lance, at least part of it includes fighting their team, which horribly outclasses his own. Bruno also trained Ash by having his Machamp use Earthquake to disturb nesting Onix and having Ash flee from them. While Ash is training under Lance, since Pidgeot can't climb Mt. Ember to build stamina, she instead has to spend hours being chased by Dragonite. Meanwhile Ash and his Pokémon climb the volcano while dodging weak Hyper Beams from Lance's other Dragonite.

Know When to Fold 'Em: When Ash encounters four mother Dewgongs in the Seafoam Caverns, he flees rather than even attempt to fight them. A good idea given he'd just had difficulty defeating one Dewgong which wasn't escorting its young like the others were. When Ash asks what Lt. Surge would do if Mewtwo attacked Vermillion City, the gym leader doesn't hesitate to admit he'd run and get as many to safety as possible. A Bug Catcher spots Ash traveling through Viridian Forest after the latter already has all eight badges. Just before he can challenge Ash, he spots Torrent following behind him and books it.

Because Amelia's style favors slowly wearing away at her enemy's strength, an enemy with overwhelming power, such as Hydreigon, can sweep her entire team before they have a chance to wear it down.

Expy: By the time of the Pokémon League, Ash has taken on some traits of Red, preferring solitude in nature with his team to being around people, as well as becoming more silent and stoic, and a much calmer, more collected battler. Gary lampshades this in conversation after the League, claiming that without his friends making him socialize, Ash would probably disappear into the wild. Jonathan later mentions having his final showdown with Ash atop Mt. Silver, saying it seems like Ash's type of place. When Ash and Gary fought at the Conference, Ash was the Red Trainer while Gary was the Green Trainer.

Determinator: Ash and his team, of course. But Ash and Infernus stand out in particular. It doesn't matter if he's fighting Rockets, standing in front of a living force of nature, or facing a Legendary level psychic: Ash never gives up. The rest of his team follows his example but only Infernus has always stood by Ash's side. The massive Rhydon Ash faced outside Celadon and again after gaining all eight badges is determined to never evolve. Not only does it have five Everstones implanted in it's chest, but when Dazed accidentally trigger its evolution, Rhydon halts it through sheer force of will. Even Ash is left in awe of the willpower needed for a Pokémon to deny it's most basic instinct: growing stronger. This is because Rhydon is determined to stay in the form his deceased trainer knew him in, even a thousand years after said trainer's death. Cynthia's Garchomp keeps fighting even after Ash's team break several of her ribs and one of her legs.

Combination Attack
 Traveler (Fanfic) / int_e69e12b2
comment
Combination Attack: Any trainer worth their salt teaches their Pokémon to combine attacks together for extra effect. Most usually do two attacks such as Giovanni's Super Punch * Sucker Punch combined with Superpower, and Torrent's Ice Storm * Blizzard plus Twister, Surge's Lightning Bolt * Hyper Beam plus Thunderboltand Light Dash which combines four* Quick Attack for the speed, Light Screen for the protective shell of energy, Giga Impact for the sheer power it affords, and some sort of electrical blast. However, Lance's Dragonite combines five * Extreme Speed, Fly, Tailwind, Earthquake, and Twister to create the devastatingly powerful Earth Wrecker, which wipes out Ash's entire team. Notably, Twister is used to keep Dragonite from potentially killing itself from slamming into the ground at such high speeds.

Old Master: Wattson and his strongest team are all quite elderly but extremely powerful. His Mega Ampharos, Gallo, is 59 years old but is capable of keeping up with Oz. Though it is noted that old age is catching up with them. Similarly, Fino's younger pokémon are still well into their thirties, with his elderly Typhlosion being almost completely blind. That doesn't stop them from giving Ash one of his most difficult matches ever. Buster and Spirit of the Desert, an elderly Krookodile and Flygon respectively, are the two strongest wild pokémon in the Arid Zone, but both are clearly well past their prime with numerous battle scars that do more to hinder them than to show off their power.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Things are truly serious any time Dazed calls Ash by his name rather than Friend-Trainer. Implied when Cynthia mentions that a group called the Knights of Uxie (the Legendary pokémon who gifted humanity with knowledge) has erased nearly all mention of the creator(s) of Spritomb from history.

Blue-and-Orange Morality
 Traveler (Fanfic) / int_e8e56799
comment
Blue-and-Orange Morality: After encountering over a dozen of them, Ash concludes that Legendaries aren't malevolent (besides Mewtwo) but each embody a single concept and said concept usually doesn't concern itself with human life. They're not evil so much as they operate on a morality that mortals can't understand. At least some of their champions operate on the same sort of morality. Haukea, who serves as Articuno's champion, is said to treat decades like a single breath and make plans that take several human lifetimes to come to fruition. When Ash asks if she wants to potentially destroy the League, the response is to ask whether a blizzard wants to bury a village.

Exact Words: For Ash's help on the Sevii Islands, Steven gives him a shard of the Moon Stone. At first, Ash isn't terribly impressed with the gift compared to the Dragon Scale from Lance's Dragonite, until Steven explains that it's not a Moon Stone, but the Moon Stone. Unlike a Moon Stone, the Moon Stone is the meteorite that originally hit Mt. Moon and is worshiped by any Pokémon that evolves via Moon Stone.

Jerkass: Gary, who constantly insults Ash and his team whenever they meet. He eventually mellows out of it, and grows into more of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. Ash's Golduck is generally a bully with an over-inflated ego. Unlike Gary, he only becomes worse until Ash is forced to release him. Samurai is noted as deliberately hanging around the end of Viridian Forest to prey upon new trainers who are exhausted from transversing the forest. Ash refers to him as a Camper, the most hated form of trainer and theorizes he's Only in It for the Money given that his Pinsir is rather high level for the area but unskilled and Samurai hasn't improved at all in the several months since Ash last faced him. Robert the Alakazam from the Indigo League spends all his time being as condescending as possible to Ash. Ash returns the favor by calling him Bob, knowing it annoys him.

Undying Loyalty: Infernus will do anything for Ash, up to and including surrendering Moltres' own Fire Sphere. Exemplified at the Indigo Conference. Grey offers to trade his monstrous Hydreigon, as well as one or two others, if Ash will give him Infernus. Infernus responds by firing a Flamethrower at Grey for even suggesting it. Mid-battle, with the entire world watching. It's implied that the only thing stopping Grey from being incinerated was the stadium's psychic barriers.

Unskilled, but Strong: The Shamouti Birds. It normally doesn't matter because they are Legendaries, and thus able to simply ignore any attack from non-legendaries. Faced with Infernus powered by Moltres's Fire Sphere, it gets them curb stomped. The Spiritomb in the Arid Zone almost causes Ash and his team to simply give up and wait to die with overwhelming telepathic waves of apathy. But Ash realizes that it's a mindless beast at best and is just flailing around with its power.

Arbitrary Headcount Limit: Zig-zagged. While most trainers can only carry six Pokémon at once, a member of the Elite Four can temporarily override said limit. Likewise, all members of the Elite Four can carry all their Pokémon with them at once. While training with Lance, Ash has his limit removed until the Indigo Conference. After the Conference the limit stays removed due to Ash becoming an Elite Four trainee.

Running Gag: The text seems to have one in the form of "<Ash's destination> awaited him".

For the chapters he's in, Eusine's obsession with Suicune comes up constantly, along with everyone else's resignation towards said obsession.

Innocently Insensitive: When they meet at the Pokémon League and discuss their teams, Jonathan wonders why Ash has a Zubat, remarking how useless they are. Given both Seeker's status as The Woobie and that she'd previously saved his life, Ash coldly tells him to shut up and declares that Seeker's better than Jonathan could imagine. While traveling together, Gary responds to a too personal question of Ash's by taunting him about how his mother's been acting lately. Ash's response makes him realize it's something serious, though Ash does explain that the Unown messed with Delia's head.

Stronger with Age: The massive Rhydon Ash encounters outside Celadon is later revealed to be over a thousand years old and, due to its unusual biology, it's only grown stronger, to the point it moves countless tons of rock with only a gesture. When facing it for real, Ash realizes in a mixture of horror and awe that it treats the mountain they're battling in as an extension of its own body. Lance later declares it to be the strongest (non-Legendary) Pokémon in existence. Later chapters reveal many Rock and Steel-types are biologically immortal and only grow stronger (and larger) as they age. The King Under the Mountain is an Onix that's over two hundred feet long and the strongest of Bruno's team.
