This is a challenge set up by MathiasNightlord01, it is if Ash were to be either a Coordinator instead of a challenger, or be like Nando and be both.
The rules are stated to have him:
Contest/Ash related:
Be a Coordinator/Challenger (In mine, he will be both) after watching Wallace battle in a contest or Elite Four (Elite Four)
No genderbending Ash (I don't do Yaoi so that part doesn't have to be worried over)
Ash is not an idiot on Pokemon.
Have costumes during contests, an OC will appear to be a Pokemon Stylist he befriends in mine.
He'll use ball capsule's an seals (Like the bubble seal Dawn uses for Piplup)
Pokemon capture related:
Captures PLENTY of Pokemon, more than in the anime.
Must befriend a powerful pokemon (In mine, I have chosen the rare Unova pokemon, Zorua (To be Zoroark as she evolves)) he is to capture with a specialized Master Ball prototype (It's supposed to be a master ball, but as we know in the anime those were in development at the time)
Captures shiny Pokemon
Captures some Legendary pokemon (I have decided majority of the ones he is to capture, and the ones he won't.) from the movies and anime series.
Captures a few fossil Pokemon. (There are only two as far as I know, and I've already selected one)
Charmander doesn't disobey him, and instead is a Shiny Charmander (Different Charmander)
Stops Damian who is abusive. same as cyndaquil.
Pokemon information related:
Shiny Pokemon are 5x stronger than their normal counterparts, (This seems a bit overkill and I'm changing that to 3x)
Ash does NOT remain 10 freaking years old, at a ridiculously short height, and will grow to be at least 6 feet tall eventually (At some point)
NO UNOVA CLOTHING (That stuff was ugly)
Ash's Pikachu evolves at some point During/After the Battle Frontier or Sinnoh Saga but only after learning all the moves it can as a Pikachu.
Pokemon are not limited to the 4 attack's like in games but from any they have learned (Meaning Anime rules on moves not the video games) No moves are limited be it battle or contest
No TCG (Trading Card Game) moves allowed, from anime and games are fine. (since I haven't played the game, please know I am not using TM's)
Pokemon Myth's an Legends must remain consistent of anime's and movies. (Normally games too but... I haven't played the game cause I can't get it)
More of his pokemon are willing to be fully evolved
Pairing:
Pokeshipping isn't allowed (Ash and Misty)
Harems are not allowed (Ash an several females)
The chosen one I have picked is... unknown due to the fact I can't decide between Cynthia or Anabel.
Rating:
K+ through M (Duh, T)
Should the rating become M, must have Lemons and/or Limes
Sources:
Bulbapedia is the main source for Pokemon Information (Moves, encounters, etc etc.) Therefor any part in this story, is to be noted as an OC, an Author's preference, or from Bulbapedia. At any given time should none of this happen, it is safe to say the Author has forgotten to mention his preference or OC.
Again, this is a Challenge where Ash is a Pokemon Trainer and Coordinator set by MathiasNightlord01, all rules except for my small edits (Ex the last one is just to let you know I may change things around)
I have not watched the first series but due to the amount of fanfictions I know the general direction to take. If I should mix things up, please excuse it. Majority of it is coming from Bulbapedia and will be gone off from the written parts of it, any unknown information is a slip up or preference.
I will merge some episodes together (Battle scenes are done in 1 chapter unless told otherwise for a reason. Ex. too long of a chapter or long time since last update) or exclude unimportant ones where no Pokemon have been captured, no Pokemon befriended/traded.
In a quiet place known as Pallet Town Kanto, a young boy at age of six is sitting outside playing in the edge of a forest near his home.
He glanced back, seeing no human around simply Pokemon he's lived with, the boy gave a call, "Zorua? Zorua? Are you there? My mom isn't watching you can come out."
"Ash? Is that you? Where have you been the past couple months? You hardly come out anymore. Did I do something?" A little fox looked at him concerned.
"No Zorua, it's nothing,I was with my mom; she, Professor Oak, and I went to different regions, I played with the starter Pokemon from each. I'm sorry if I worried you and I could never be mad at the person who saved me!" He yelled stretching his arms wide falling onto his back.
She giggled at his actions. "I just transformed into that Pokemon to help you get back to the edge of the forest, you shouldn't have walked off like that."
"My mom was worried sick and you helped me! Then I came to visit you ever since, uh sorry about not telling you about the trips they were kind of sudden so I was excited and I forgot to tell you." She waved her hand telling him to forget about it.
"As long as you aren't mad at me I'm fine with it." She smiled.
A voice called out to the young boy, "Ash dear would you like to come in? There is a person challenging the Elite Four on the news!"
At this the boy jumped, "Zorua I've got to go, I'll come back when it's done."
She shook her head, "No it's okay Ash. It's gonna get late after that, you know how Pokemon battles are especially with the tops." He nodded at his best friend.
"Okay Zorua, I'll come by tomorrow!" He smiled running home, "Okay mom I'm coming!"
Once he reached inside he immediately took a seat, "Mom, who is he?"
"That's Wallace, he's a powerful Pokemon Coordinator. At least that's what they call him."
Ash looked confused, a Coordinator? "Mom, what's a coordinator?"
"They make Pokemon do amazing moves, watch."
On the screen a tall man with blue and white clothing appeared before the Elite Four member of Hoenn, Drake. He's one of the toughest to his knowledge using majorly Dragon typed pokemon.
"Alright Salamence, end this with Thunder Fang!" Cried the Dragon master, Drake.
The Contest master didn't falter, "Milotic, spin and use Aqua Ring, after that proceed to safeguard!" He called to his beautiful Pokemon.
The attack collide into the rings that spun around, but because safeguard was also activated, the paralysis that could have happened, didn't and the recoil sent Salamence back.
"Alright finish it use water pulse and send it into a twister!" The blue orb spun around in a tornado before bursting near the dragon type.
As it collided, the damage from the powerful and trained water pulse, added with the twister's speed caused it to burst at an alarming rate. The dragon laid with swirls in it's eyes. The droplets and shimmers of water spiraled out from the twister leaving a beautiful Milotic cuddling it's master.
The ref noticed, "Salamence is unable, the winner is Wallace!" Many people cheered in the background, Ash sat there eyes glued to the television.
"Eeehh! He's really strong! Mom when I grow up, I am gonna be even stronger than him and battle him!" His mother, Delia, chuckled at her son's determination. "I'll put moves together and make amazing combinations like he did!"
"I'm gonna go cook dinner sweetheart, if you'd like you could watch still. They said he'd go after the champion Steven soon." At this he beamed excitedly.
The very next day
All night, Ash had been fantasizing about becoming like him. He still remembered his words after he was defeated by Steven's Metagross.
"Although I have been defeated, there is still something I haven't been beaten at yet. I am a Pokemon Coordinator, Hoenn's Top Coordinator and Contest Master! I have not trained for strength alone, but also for grace. My wonderful partner, Milotic, and I, were only asked to show how it's okay to be both, and show it's okay to sacrifice a bit of training for just simple beauty. After all, with proper training, these flashy moves can be quite a distractor to those not used to it." He smiled leaving the stage.
Ash told himself, I'll grow up, an be a Pokemon Master, Champion, AND Top coordinator and show the world I am the best!
He ran outside after a quick change, brush of teeth, and breakfast which he devoured in moments.
"Hey Zorua! I saw the battle and it was so cool, this guy, he used a Milotic against a Salamence and won using a combination attack!"
"Combination? attack?" she said puzzled not having to battle before.
"Yeah, like using... Dark Pulse and uh Shadow Ball together and they break and make purple sparkles everywhere, but I am not sure how to slow down an attack like that..."
Zorua laughed, "Okay Ash that's enough... hey I've been meaning to ask you."
"Yeah Zorua?" He asked the red an black furred fox.
"How can you understand me?"
This is the first chapter of many. (I expect somewhere close to 30, maybe more, maybe less.)
As a final reminder, The rules are stated at the top, the creator of the challenge is posted there but for further recognition, it's by MathiasNightlord01.
Please Review and help me answer a few questions.
Should Ash name his Pokemon? If so what is a good name for her? (Zorua is indeed a female in this story, and also the names Zeva (Take) and Zo (Also taken) are not going to be used for that reason.) I was thinking maybe Zoey, but... I am not sure if I should name them, heck I might forget and I'm the author!
Shiny Pokemon, which Pokemon should become the first he captures?
Should Ash explain how he can talk to Zorua? (No, Zorua is not the same from the movie 13, therefor, everyone hears her name but not Ash) Or not at all/doesn't know?
Should Pokemon not from this region (Indigo League Pokemon/Original Series) be introduced because of groups like Team Rocket, Team Plasma, Team Galactic etc etc.
Lastly, how do you think this can improve?

Oh man, everyone please thank Hawktalon007 for being my beta!
Not only did this person edit, they pointed it out, and I found a couple of my own mistakes.
Near the beginning Ash said Celebi, this is a mistake I have edited. Celebi originally was the Pokemon Ash would have instead of Zorua, but I decided not to and use Zorua instead.
All others are minor mistakes.
Edit: 8/7/13
Epic failz! Lot's of grammar mistakes found out yet again after realizing I had to change something (Read the PLEASE READ! in chapter 3 at the start to see what changed) and well I meant to change it!
