Author's note: This is inspired by IDW's Transformers: Deviations. Also, it's not a shipping fic but I might drop hints of some in future chapters. Enjoy.


The world of Pokémon is full of multiple realities. It's a place where anything that can happen, will happen. However, the same can be said for what could've happened. Today, we will explore a world where Ash's journey through Hoenn takes an unexpected twist. While it is alternate to those who know what originally happened, it is pure reality to those who inhabit it.

After their adventures in the Mirage Kingdom and bidding farewell to her newly evolved Togetic, Misty was about to say goodbye to Ash and his friends as they would continue their journey through the Hoenn region.

"Well, time to head back to Cerulean," said Misty, getting ready to board the blimp.

"Please give your sisters my best," said Brock.

"Yeah, right," said Misty doubtfully, knowing how Brock acts around girls.

"I wish I could have heard more about your gym," said Max, not wanting to see her leave.

"I know," said Misty knowing what would cheer him up. "Why don't you guys come visit me in Cerulean City."

"Cool" said Max.

"May, I'm counting on you to win all your Pokémon contest." said Misty. "Good luck."

"Thanks, Misty," May replied.

"Keep up the good work being a gym leader," said Ash.

"I will. And you take first place in the Hoenn League." Misty said with confidence in her voice.

"Of course. What else?" said Ash with determination

"Pika Pika!" said Pikachu happily"

Suddenly, a ringing could be heard from Misty's backpack.

"Looks like my sisters are having trouble again," said Misty as she pulled out her sister's Pokégear from her backpack. The fact they weren't good at battling often annoyed her.

"Hey Sis," said Daisy's voice through the Pokégear. "Listen, we decided to hire a substitute to fill in for you while you are away. We figured that since you would be seeing old friends in Hoenn, you deserved a vacation."

"Okay," said Misty. "But if the person you hired messes up, let me know and I'll come home immediately."

"Alright," said Daisy. "Just don't be gone too long. Good-bye."

With that, Misty put the Pokégear back in her backpack and looked at Ash and his friends.

"Looks like I will traveling you guys until I find out if the substitute gym leader can do a good job or not," she said smiling.

"All right!" said Max happily. "Now I will get to know more about your gym after all!"

"Looks like I'll be doing some extra cooking," said Brock.

"Are you sure your willing to go on another adventure?" asked Ash. "This isn't Kanto or Johto."

"You know I am, Ash," she replied. "It's going to be just like old times."

"Pika Pika!" cheered Pikachu.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" said May excitedly. "Let's head over to Fallarbor Town!"

Before they left, Misty informed the blimp pilot that she would staying in Hoenn for a few weeks. Once that was cleared, the blimp took off for the Mirage Kingdom since that was where the pilot was from. As it flew away, Misty could only smile as this unexpected turn of events made it possible for her to travel with Ash again.

What would have been a simple good-bye turned into the beginning of a much bigger adventure for Misty. Thus, a new unforeseen reality is formed. How would the inclusion of Misty effect Ash's adventures through Hoenn? Find out in the next exciting chapter of Pokémon: Advanced Deviations!


Author's note: My main focus will be episodes where I think Misty would have a greater influence. (Ex; episodes with Team Aqua and Team Magma) In a way, I think some if not a majority of the original episodes would run their normal course, only with Misty being present. I will mention the events of the episodes I don't use in the opening paragraphs of future chapters. Those who know the Advanced Challenge/Battle series and its episodes are welcome to point out events they think would greatly change in their reviews so that I can take note when I write future chapters. Thanks for reading.
