Prologue/Information

This is a rewrite of Ash's Journey through every region (Unless I get bored of writing). Ash will start out with Pikachu because Ash not starting out with Pikachu is like not starting with a Pikachu in Yellow version. Catch my drift? Ash will still be hyper, but he will not be as hyper nor will he be as stupid. Characters will actually age in this Fanfic.

In this Fanfiction everyone starts the Pokémon journey at the age of 12. I personally believe the age of 10 is too young, but I still wanted the characters to still have child-like tendencies.

I don't want to have to do this for every chapter so I'll say it here

"I do not own Pokémon." - PhantomFalcon13

There are several things that will be different in this story.

Firstly, I'm making it so energy type attacks (like flamethrower, thunderbolt, and other similar attacks) are the only ones that a Pokémon can be completely immune to. While physical attacks (What I mean by physical attacks is attacks that are not based on energy and make physical contact with the opposing Pokémon) will always cause damage because of the force of the attack. Like if a Fairy-type gets hit with a Dragon Claw it will still be hurt. I mean really it's getting slashed with claws, how wouldn't that hurt? How this works is the initial attack does damage, but the energy-type behind the attack is what deals the most damage. The Pokémon can be immune to the energy-type utilized in the attack, but the Pokémon will still suffer damage since it was physically hit. Also Ghost is still immune to all Normal and Fighting attacks (with possibly a few exceptions that will be named in an authors note). While Normal is also still immune to all Ghost-type attacks (With a few exceptions like Lick as an example and more examples will be named in an authors note).

Secondly, Pokémon can learn and use every attack they learn, but when in an official battle a Pokémon can only use 4 of them. The attacks can be chosen throughout the battle. If a Pokémon uses a 5th attack it is then forfeited from the match.

My story will not have short chapters (short = less than 2,500 words); I absolutely hate it when a fanfiction goes "Here's a new chapter! It almost has 1,000 words!" That is just way too short. Also another thing about this series is that I am not going to be generous to the characters like almost every other author on this site. What I mean by generous is *Ash is summoned by Arceus "Here Ash take all of my legendary children because you are the chosen one".* or *Ash and friends found a shiny version of every single Pokémon and caught them all!* Legendaries will appear, but they will not be caught unless I deem it crucial to the plot (and most likely they will be released afterwards). Shiny Pokémon will be very very rare in this story. The only one that I can tell you will happen is Ash's Noctowl.

Oh and the pairing for Ash has been decided and that pairing will not change.

If you have any Questions please leave them in the comment section.

Eventually there will be a list of attacks on my profile that either don't exist or still damage a Pokémon even if it's immune to the attack's typing.
