In honour of being on Fanfiction for a year.

My first fanfiction was a pokémon fanfic. However since then most of my work has been Danny Phantom with various crossovers. And so in memory of that, here's a Danny Phantom and Pokémon crossover.

It's based during the end of the third season of Danny Phantom but in Pokémon, it's based on the way to the Kalos league after getting the eighth badge.

I don't own Danny Phantom or Pokémon.

And so let's begin…

Danny was having a great day. It was finally the summer break and he didn't have any schoolwork to do until the next school year. Dash and most of the football team were going away on a special trip as a reward for winning the championship game at the end of the year and most of the cheerleaders were going too. That meant a few days free of Dash, Paulina, Star and everyone else that loved to tease him or fawn obsessively over Danny Phantom. And as if things couldn't be better, his parents had been invited out of town to attend a paranormal convention. So Jazz and he would be home alone. That meant no weapons at the dinner table. No glowing food in the fridge to ambush him when he went inside. No getting threatened to be ripped apart molecule by molecule.

The only dampener on his mood was that Valerie and Vlad were still around. But Valerie and Danny had an uneasy truce going at the moment. It wasn't official but Danny had noticed that ever since Danielle had been in town, Valerie hadn't attacked him. She was still ghost hunting, he'd seen her chasing down the Box Ghost just the other day. But she wasn't after him. Also Vlad had been unusually quiet recently. That was a little concerning for Danny. Vlad was always up to something. But Danny wasn't going to let Vlad's lack of activity affect him. It was summer. And he was going to enjoy it the best way he could.

That's right. He was going into the Ghost Zone to train with Frostbite. Wait… hold on. Danny sighed in annoyance. It was Sam's idea. And unfortunately Tucker got grounded last minute for staying out past curfew and Sam got dragged on an unexpected shopping trip with her mother. Danny shrugged. It wasn't like he was going to do anything worthwhile instead. But he would have preferred a day to himself to quietly relax at home and maybe watch a movie or play a video game. It was rare that he got to do that now. Ghost attacks had become so regular that Danny was lucky if he got more than four hours sleep at night. Thankfully Jazz managed to snag coffee for him in the mornings before his parents noticed his exhaustion. His teachers were used to him sleeping in class by now. Not that they were happy about it but he'd definitely changed from a promising student in their eyes to a slacker that had no future.

Danny flew through the green gaseous Ghost Zone, passing purple doors and islands floating in mid-air. He didn't mind training with his powers but whenever he trained at the Far Frozen, he couldn't help but get annoyed by the fearful cries when he looked at or raised a hand in greeting to any of the inhabitants other than Frostbite. He hadn't frozen one of them solid in months but they still ran away screaming at the sight of him. Yeah, this was going to be a fun afternoon. He could just tell. Danny rolled his eyes at his inward sarcastic musings.

It wouldn't be so bad if Sam or Tucker was with him. And Frostbite was great to be around but the snow ghost made him uncomfortable. The constantly being called Great One. It made him feel like he was trying to be something he wasn't. Even after all this time, it still made his stomach twist with almost guilt and awkwardness. He wasn't some amazing hero or anything. Yeah, he locked the Ghost King back in the sarcophagus of forever sleep. But that was one thing. He'd messed up in the past too. He let Freakshow take control of him. He walked right into Walker's trap when he overshadowed the mayor. He ruined Valerie's life because he couldn't stop Cujo. That argument he had with Sam that caused her to wish she never met him. Letting Vlad get the Infi-map and that chase through time. There were so many mistakes he made. So many, he didn't feel that he deserved the title of Great One.

Danny soared through the green world, lost in his thoughts. So lost that he didn't even see the blast that came at him before it hit him in the side. The hit threw him off course slightly and he crashed into a large floating rock. As he was in his ghost form, he collided with it head first, earning him a headache. Danny peeled himself away from the rock and rubbed the bump forming on his head and turned to the direction the blast came from. He groaned in annoyance. The metal suited hunter with green hair and a large gun on his shoulder grinned at him.

"Hello ghost child," Skulker greeted him. Danny backed away from the rock and glowered at the ghost.

"What do you want Skulker?" Danny grumbled.

"Same as always, your pelt on my mantle," Skulker answered with a casual shrug. Danny rolled his eyes.

"Can't you be a little more original and fresh? The whole pelt thing, besides being gross, is getting really old," Danny complained.

Skulker grinned and shook his head.

"I'll give you a head start child. Start running," Skulker offered. Danny scowled at the ghost but quickly turned and fled towards the Far Frozen. Skulker gave chase and cackled excitedly as he fired blasts at the halfa. Danny dodged the attacks and glanced over his shoulder.

"Your aim's lousy! Another fight with Ember?!" Danny taunted. Skulker frowned. Danny turned back before gasping in alarm. A portal had opened right in front of him and he had no room to go around or stop. He did the only thing he could. He went through.

After the initial blindness from the enveloping green portal, Danny saw he was heading straight for the ground. He was going way too fast to stop and smashed head first into the stony pathway below. Skulker charged through and scanned the skies for his prey. Grumbling in annoyance, the hunter turned to leave but the portal had already closed. Skulker groaned and turned in a slow circle, not noticing an unconscious Danny Fenton on the ground below in a crater formed by the crash. Skulker floated off in search of his favourite prey instead.

So Danny's introduced. Any ideas where the portal landed him?

Until the next chapter.
