Challenge: A Crime With Pokemon in Mind
Over the years Ash has had various conflicts with The Crime Families, and each time he has seen them get away, maybe not successfully, but free. And he is sick of it. He decides that if the law is to incompetent to catch crime( as he has also seen from the various times a ten year old does their job), he will do it himself. Wit his pokemon of course. And, as any teen with no steady job will tell you, money is a hard to find resource, so if a few(million) dollars go missing from the teams? Well, no skin off his back...
Rules:
not very trusting Ash(can still be fun loving/kind though)
use of pokemon(in battles or tactical)
not incompetent teams( their crime families, not everyone can be dumb in them)
Aging
Suggestions:
maybe different starter
tech using/hacker ash
aura using(and not just the standard aura sphere, be imaginative! like a bolt cutter for instance)
Tactical usage of pokemon( Pikachu would be the perfect saboteur, small enough to sneak through bases, and capable of eating/chewing wires and electricity without harm )
corrupt government
actual real world crimes( like bank robbery, grand theft auto, murder, etc...)
no slash( but can if really want to)
not a romance story, I just want a hard hitting adventure/ crime story
if you do use a pairing, try to make it one not commonly used( no pokeshipping for example)
Unique pokemon, try being creative and give him something not many people think of using like a Tauros, or spinarak
try a stealth based story
really use tactics, or at least describe a viable take-down strategy
Smart!Ash
Actual training, not just mock battles
