Chapter 03 – A Mega and a Shark
As Ash woke from his slumber, his eyes were treated to the sight of Misty's fiery orange hair. She was snuggled into his chest, naked save for a hairband holding a familiar keystone.
As he attempted to free himself without waking her up, he noticed two things. The first was what appeared to be a birthmark on her left breast, more specifically over her heart, something he hadn't noticed last night. It appeared to be in the form of a 'Z', rather like a lightning bolt.
The second was a tattoo, a pink heart on the middle of her right ass cheek.
As he gently stroked it, he elicited a moan from Misty, who promptly woke up. Cerulean eyes met brown, with Misty then kissing Ash good morning.
"Good morning Ash."
"Good morning Mist."
"About last night…"
"I don't know what came over me…"
"I loved it!"
"Wait what…"
"Ash. I don't know how you did what you did but it was AMAZING! I'd heard of what it would be to lose my virginity from my sisters, but this was way beyond my wildest expectations."
"But I felt I was rather forceful with you…and you liked it?"
"I apparently have a submissive kink…and I need my master to remind his pet of her place."
Ash then proceeded to spend the next hour showing her what it meant to be his pet.

Back in Kalos, the only thing that Greninja could glean from the bond phenomenon was that his Liege Lord was really horny, and currently going through his 'mating urges', which were strong enough to have unfortunately driven the poor ninja Pokémon into a sex frenzy if it weren't for his superior mental fortitude.
"Unfortunately, I am unable to gleam anything useful from our Liege Lord through the Battle Bond" said Greninja to the group. No need to mention anything else…
"So now how do we get to Kanto? Because that's where we'll have the best chance of finding both answers and Ash" said Goodra, who could easily sense that the others were concerned about a lack of response from the Battle Bond.
"I have an idea!" shouted both Gible and Noivern.
"You go first Master Gible."
"Ok homie. Here's my plan." began Gible with his idea.
"Do y'all know why my peoples are known as the 'Land Shark Pokémon'? Well, back in the days of old, a Garchomp could travel great distances through passageways deep in the Earth overnight. A trip that would take weeks over land and sea could be done in hours. A Garchomp could burrow into the Earth near Mount Silver after breakfast and end up at Snowpoint City in Sinnoh before lunch.
We, as a species could strike our foes from anywhere under the Earth, from one continent to another with ease. Hence our title of the 'Land Shark Pokémon'. Even as a Gible, I can and have used these passageways before, and I can do it once more."
"But there's a catch, is there?", asked Talonflame.
"Unfortunately, as a Gible, I'm neither large enough nor strong enough to take more than another individual besides myself."
"We're still stuck then." said an unhappy Hawlucha.
"Not if we also use my plan."
"So, what is your plan homie? And how does it tie into mine?"
"We fly."
…
Hawlucha chose that moment to facepalm. "And I consider myself a flying type."
"I don't know about you, but at best, I might be able to carry someone as heavy as a Pikachu, maybe a bit more. Someone like Greninja or Goodra would be impossible for my size, especially over long distances.", said Talonflame.
"But if you could carry me brother, and if brother Noivern took brother Greninja on his back, then brother Gible could take brother Goodra alongside him through the Earth." replied Hawlucha.
"It's crazy, but just might work."
Talonflame then proceeded to map out the safest flight route to Kanto, as he and Noivern would need the winds on their side for such a long flight, even more so with passengers.
Gible and Goodra said their goodbyes and disappeared under the Earth, leaving no evidence that they were ever there in the first place.

As Misty was checking out of their room, Ash went to call his mother, and let her know he had reached Viridian last night.
Ring-ring…ring-ring…
"Hello"
"Hiya Mom."
"Ash dear, are you already at Viridian?"
"Yeah Mom, got here last night. A…friend teleported us here with his Abra because of the storm."
"That's good. You aren't sick right?"
"No mom."
"Stay safe dear. Bye"
"Love you mom. Bye-bye."
… … …
As Ash was waiting for Misty to pack up, he wondered where Pikachu and Mew-owth disappeared off to. Snivy, or now Servine, along with Oshawott and Pignite were back in their ball's, so he assumed that Servine returned to hers last night.
With the way Servine manhandled Pikachu yesterday, and with what he heard her say to Pikachu as she dragged him away, it was safe to assume that Pikachu was definitely just as busy as he had been last night.
Speak of the Giratina and he shall appear.
"So how was last night? Coz you and Misty were definitely 'not just sleeping' if the pheromones I could smell were any indication."
"Pikachu!"
"You're taking as if he's the only one who got laid.", interjected Mew-owth.
"Umm…yeah. Apparently when female Pokémon with more than one evolution go through their first evolution, they become rather…randy, some species more than others."
"Will I have to worry about Snivy eggs?"
"Fortunately, no Ash. The Snivy line only lay eggs when fully evolved."
"So where were you Mew-owth?"
"I'm investigating something that could end up becoming a very serious issue, but I won't say anything until I've gotten proper evidence. Though for now, it's nothing to worry about. If something pops up from my investigation, I'll fill you guys in on the details. Though, for the next few days, I won't always be around, as I'll be travelling."
"Umm… ok, I guess. And if you need to go somewhere on your own, that's fine. As long as you let me know your leaving, so I don't worry that you've gone missing, there won't be any concerns."
Misty then entered the lobby, all packed and ready to go.
"Hey Ash! Are you planning on repeating all the regional leagues you participated in before?"
"Definitely yes Mist. I now have a second chance to win and I'm not gonna waste it."
"We're heading for Pewter City then?"
"Yep. But will you be alright?"
"Why wouldn't I?"
"Did you forget that the Viridian Forest is full of bug types."
…
"Eep!"
X - - - X - - - X - - - X - - - X
As our group of four made their trek through the Viridian Forest, three individuals were watching them, with a lone figure slowly approaching.
With a shout of "HIEYAA!" a samurai katana sped towards Misty's neck. As Ash went to block it with an Aura enhanced fist, twin hyper beams came blazing from the foliage, vaporizing the katana leaving only the handle left. The wielder of said katana, dressed in samurai armor, promptly fainted.
"Wait! I recognize him. He's that samurai guy we first met as kids, the one challenging trainers from Pallet Town?"
"Yep."
"What I'm more concerned about are the hyper beams that offed his sword?"
Using his Aura senses, Ash detected two Pokémon hidden in the foliage.
"I know your hidden there. Come on out." said the raven-haired trainer.
Said trainer was promptly swamped by a cream colored avian, which proceeded to nuzzle into his chest.
"Ash! You came!"
"P… Pidgeot… Is that really you?"
A Butterfree then promptly landed on his hat.
"Butterfree! You too!"
"Hiya there guys! How's life been?"
"Crazy as always old friend. How about you? Life with a mate and a bajillion Caterpie treating you well."
"It's closer to 400, and it's pretty good chap."
"I've been a horrible trainer to you guys. I abandoned you guys and you don't hate me?"
"I've known something was screwing with your head for a while, and I've been visiting old Bulbasaur from time to time. He's the one noticing it often from both your occasional visits, and from the new ones set to the ranch. Why this really cute flying type of yours, a Talonflame I was planning on kidnapping him to make some Pidgey's when I woke up back in the Viridian Forest, and the ranch was void of you Pokémon comrades. I met up with Butterfree and we ran into you and the samurai pansy."
"You guys forgive me?"
"There was nothing to forgive in the first place. Now ball us."
They were both Poké ball'd and the group continued their walk through the forest. They spent the night under the stars and the local Pokémon were unable to stand the pheromones of horny teens and horny Pokémon, or more specifically, a horny Pikachu and Servine.

Meanwhile across the oceans in the land of Hoenn, a Corphish burrowed its head out of the sand and realized that he was definitely not at the bottom of the lake at the Coral. He looked up and noticed that he was at what he guessed to be the beach near Petalburg City, recognizing the city up ahead, and came to the realization that he needed to figure out what was going on.
To achieve this, he proceeded to make his way to the Petalburg City Gym, as if he wanted to find Ash, he would need to find May and Max. Maybe he'd be able to get his boss to mate with the elder Maple child such that in General Pikachu's words 'we'd all have Ashlings to play with'.
An hour later, he arrived at the back door to the Petalburg Gym, which led to the Maple residence. Before he could knock on the door, it opened to the sight of the Maple Patriarch's Vigoroth.
"May I speak to Sir Max good sir."
"Why'd ya wanna speak to the junior. Know that I'll send you flying if you mean him harm."
"No no, not at all, not at all. I just want to talk to him."
"If you mean him no harm then…okie dokie, come on in. His room is upstairs by the second door to your left."
"Thank you, good sir."
"Happy to help."
The crustacean Pokémon proceeded to climb up to the youngest Maple's room. There he found said individual reading what appeared to be a thick textbook, labeled "The Theory of College Physics and How it ties into Electric types, by Samson Oak".
Upon noticing someone enter, Max Maple turned to the unusual sight of a Corphish in his room.
"Hiya little guy! What brings a cool Pokémon like you to my room? It makes me wish I were a trainer, just so I could catch you, that is if you're a wild one. By the way, are you a wild Corphish or do you have a trainer?"
Saying this the young man stretched out his palm to pat his head.
"Max! Don't ya recognize me! Are you sick or somethin?"
Corphish then proceeded to gently headbutt the outstretched hand in a well intention but unnecessary attempt to cure Max of some illness that prevented him from recognizing one of Ash's Pokémon. He remembered first Lieutenant Squirtle calling it 'stupidity' and mentioning that most humans suffered from it every now and then. It was at that moment several years' worth of memories passed through Max's mind in the blink of an eye.
"Wait a second. Your Ash's Corphish aren't you? What's going on? Why am I eleven? What are you doing here? Why isn't May a trainer? Wait I think I know the last one. But she definitely was a trainer yesterday. Or was it ten years into the future? Or seven? Maybe four. I'm getting a headache thinking about this."
Young Max Maple then proceeded to hit his head on his textbook, definitely considering a Tylenol. The noise apparently disturbed his sister, who was lazing about after the end of the school year. Seeing her enter Max's room, Corphish had an idea. If head-butting Max helped heal him of the illness stupidity, then doing the same to May should also do the job. Even if May wasn't sick in the first place, the worst that would happen would be a friendly headbutt. No harm, no foul.
Said Pokémon then proceeded to headbutt the young lady in question. The surprise of seeing a Pokémon in her brother's room left her open to the harmless attack and knocked her on her butt.
Just like for her younger brother, years of memories were restored to the 14-year-old teen's mind. But unlike her brother, she promptly fainted.
"May's still a pansy."
"Amen to that friend Max."

The islands of the Alola region are famous for their tropical weather and diverse population of unique Pokémon native to the islands.
Around midnight, near the home of one Professor Kukui, four figures popped into existence, all of them surprised to find themselves there. Just moments ago, they were watching what they considered to the most epic battle they'd even seen in their lives. Watching a legendary, Tapu Koko himself, the Guardian of Melemele Island, get beaten by their trainer's starter Pikachu, was nothing short of impossible.
But now they needed to figure out how they went from being in a stadium to ending up outside Kukui's house.
"Guys! What just happened?" asked Lycanroc.
"I think I woke up from a weird dream. One invoking Tapu Koko getting beaten to a pulp by a brand-new z-move from Ash and Pikachu."
"No, you definitely weren't dreaming ya giant furball."
"Hey! Come back here you birdbrain so I can beat you up."
"Nu-un." chirped Rowlet who proceeded to fly on to Melmetal's head.
"Stop fighting! Both of you. Or I'll double iron bash you Incineroar. And before you ask, I'll never hit bestie Rowlet."
"Grrr."
"Oui! The professor's house is right over there. Maybe Ash went to bed without us."
"I don't know. Something feels off…"
Lycanroc did not like this. For one, he could not smell Ash anywhere near the professor's house. To his nose, it felt that Ash had never lived there at all.
In the time he had been pondering this, Rowlet had apparently flown to the professor's house and back.
"The house is empty. He isn't at home."
"So, what do we do?" asked Incineroar, who could really use a belly rub from Miss Lillie. She gave the best belly rubs ever. Maybe if she and Ash became mates like the Professor and Burnet, then he'd get belly rubs for the rest of his life. Now that would be a dream come true…
"Let's go look for the others. Lillie, Lana, Mallow, Sophocles, Kiawe. Heck even the odd Oak fella might help us find Ash." answered Lycanroc.
The four Pokémon made the trek towards the Pokémon school, hoping to find someone that could help them, and in Incineroar's case, find Miss Lillie for some belly rubs...

As Ash and his friends made it to Pewter City, they came upon the sight of several rocks neatly organized right next to a shack. A man in miner clothes was apparently trying to sell said rocks.
"Step right here and get valuable souvenir rocks straight from the Pewter City mines. You, young miss, would you like a rock?"
Ash recognized Flint immediately and decided to teach him a lesson for abandoning his family. This was something he and Misty had planned if certain events happened just like they did before, and this was one of them.
"Ash! This weirdo is leering at me.", shouted Misty while pointing at Flint.
"Wait what", stuttered a surprised Flint.
"Pikachu! That idiot leered at Misty. Thunderbolt him!"
"With pleasure."
Poor Flint Harrison was left on the ground, spasming from the thunderbolt, though very much alive.
Ash whispered in his ear "that's for abandoning Brock, Flint."
The miner/Ex-Gym leader who had surprisingly recovered from the trauma of a thunderbolt was left stuttering by the side of the road, while the group proceeded onwards to the Pewter City Gym.
X - - - X - - - X - - - X - - - X
"Well, here we are" said Ash as the group found themselves outside the front door to the Gym. As they passed through the short dark hallway to the battlefield, the lights suddenly came on, revealing a battlefield closer to the size of a conference battlefield rather than the one he'd seen during his first attempt of the Pewter gym.
At the other end of the field stood two individuals, both familiar to Ash and Misty, them being their close friend Brock Harrison and his younger brother Forrest. Brock appeared to be in his early twenties, much older than he was when he first met him while Forrest was what he guessed to be fourteen years old.
"Hello there. I am Brock Harrison. Leader of the Pewter City Gym and rock type Specialist. Please introduce yourself challenger and show your trainer ID."
"My name is Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town and…"
"Wait…Ash!"
"Hiya Brocko!"
"Hey Brock"
"Ash, Misty. What are… What the hell's going on?"
"Long story. Let's just say I've gotten a second chance at things and I'll fill you in later."
"Life's never boring around you. So, how's life been treating you."
"Pretty good so far, asked Misty to be my girlfriend, met up with some older Pokémon, had lots of sex with Misty, thunder bolted your dad, etc."
"Wait what! You…and Misty…"
It was at this moment; Brock had a temporary brain freeze.
Error 404…
Gaining his senses once more, he started shedding anime tears, and said,
"Ash…Misty…FINALLY! Do you guys know how long I though you two were lost causes in the matters of romance between each other."
"So…you're not upset that we're dating?
"As long as you don't make me an uncle before you're both old enough to drink, I'm in full support of your relationship. And besides, you're not the only ones in a serious relationship."
"WHAT!"
"So, no more chasing around the skirt of every Officer Jenny in Kanto for ya? What? It's a perfectly valid question. So, who is it?" asked Pikachu.
"Remember Olivia, the sweet and innocent, yet Might Kahuna. Her spirit and her love between her and I, is much like her z-move, a continental crush of…YEOOOW!"
Brock suddenly stilled, and promptly collapsed, with a Toxicroak standing behind him, a paw glowing with the energy of a poison jab.
"Some things never change."
"Too true buddy"
X - - - X - - - X - - - X - - - X
After Brock had recovered from the poison jab, they proceeded onto why there were at the Pewter City Gym.
"So Ash, I assume you're here for more than just a friendly visit."
"Yep. I'd like to challenge the Pewter City Gym."
"An official Pokémon gym challenge for the Pewter City Gym. For formalities sake show Forrest your Pokédex and we'll get started."
After showing his Pokédex to Forrest, Forrest took his place on the referee podium and called out the battle while Misty took a seat on the stands.
"This will be an official Pokémon gym battle between the challenger Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town against the Pewter City Gym leader Brock. This will be a two vs two battle with only the challenger allowed to make substitutions. Furthermore…"
"Hold up Forrest. Before we begin Ash, how about we go all out. Your definitely not a newbie trainer like Gary who came yesterday, and we'll use a full team of six, no limitations at all. Alright?"
"Heck yeah Brock, a full 6 vs 6 battle."
"But brother, the challenger doesn't even have a single badge. He's not…"
"Trust me Forrest, you'll definitely agree with me after the battle."
"Fine. This will be a full 6 vs 6 battle with only the challenger allowed to make substitutions. Furthermore, the battle will be over when all six Pokémon from one side are unable to battle. Ready. Begin!"
"Geodude, come on out!"
"Servine, I choose you."
"A Servine, caught from Unova I assume."
"Yep. Servine, open up with leaf storm."
"Defend and intercept with gyro ball."
"Counter with leaf blade."
As both Pokémon fought, steel type attack met grass type head on, with neither giving in. This continued on for nearly a minute with both trainers encouraging them on. Deciding enough was enough, Brock called out Geodude.
"Geodude, get close and use seismic toss."
"Servine, dodge and land a leaf blade."
Servine, with her slim form, evaded Geodude's grip and landed a final leaf blade straight on his face. It was interesting to note that the leaf blade glowed with a tinge of blue instead of its usual green before it hit. With that hit, Geodude was sent face down into the ground, left with swirls in his eyes, signifying him unable to battle.
"Geodude is unable to battle, the first match goes to Servine."
Like this, several close battles occurred. Servine was felled by a well-aimed poison jab from Toxicroak, who had only recently evolved according to Brock. Toxicroak in turn was taken out by a psybeam from Butterfree, who had apparently learned the move from his mate.
Chansy and Pignite knocked each other out with a head on collision from giga impact and flame charge. Oshawott took out Sudowoodo with a point-blank hydro pump but was promptly blasted out of the arena due to the recoil and hit his head on the reinforced wall, unfortunately knocking himself out.
Marshtomp then took out Butterfree with a barrage of mud-shots, and just as Ash was about to send out Pikachu to deal with him, the battlefield shook, and out from the ground erupted what appeared to be a Draco meteor, which homed in on Marshtomp, knocking him out.
From the hole from with the dragon type attack came from crawled out what appeared to be a Gible sitting on the head of a Goodra.
"Hey Gible, are you sure this is the right place, because the last time you said that, we ended up in the bedroom of the Sinnoh and Kalos Champions having sex, and nearly got killed by two angry lesbians and their Mega's."
"Mega Garchomp was…just otherworldly."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing homie! And trust me, this is the right place."
"Then why did you use Draco meteor?"
"Coz I wanted to homie."
"Gible! Goodra! How did you guys get here?"
"See, I told you I was right."
"Long story regarding how we got here." Saying this, the dragon type looked around, and noticed that he was in a Gym of some sorts, and that it looked like a battle was going on.
"Are you in the middle of a battle?"
"Umm… yeah. Do you want in?"
"Oh, oh, me first!"
"Ok Gible, you can go now. Goodra, you want to go next?"
"Sure, why not."
"Did Gible knock out Marshtomp with his Draco meteor?" asked Brock.
"Yep, that was him." replied Ash.
"So you'll continue with him?"
"Sure."
"Then come on out Steelix."
Appearing on the battlefield on all of his glory was Brock's Steelix, and the way it looked at him made Gible just a tad bit concerned. But it wasn't anything to worry about, right?
"Ash, it is time I show you my real power in battle, and this time, it will be against you! I'm not called Brock the Rock for nothing you know." saying this, Brock ripped off his shirt, revealing a keystone on a silver chain.
"Steelix! Time for…Mega Evolution!"
In a bath of blue and golden light between Brock's Keystone and Steelix, the latter Mega-Evolved, revealing Mega Steelix.
Gible now went from just a wee bit concerned to slightly freaking out. While Cynthia's Mega Garchomp wanted to kill him, she was gorgeous, and her beauty distracted him from his terror at the sight of such an otherworldly entity so deadly approaching him with the intent of causing much pain and suffering. Mega Steelix however, was definitely not beautiful, but just plain terrifying. No pressure.
"Heck yeah this is going to be fun. Gible! You can do it. Let's show Brock how we go against Mega's".
If Ash believed he could beat a mega, then he would put his terror down and beat a mega.
"Begin."
"Gible, start off with dragon pulse!"
"Dodge and dig, Steelix!"
"Fire the dragon pulse at the ground."
Doing this sent Gible airborne, allowing him to evade Steelix's sudden attack from under.
"Now get in close and use rock smash."
"Stop Gible with iron tail!"
While Gible's rock smash hit Steelix dead center, the iron tail coming at him set him flying. Fortunately, Gible landed on his feet.
"Now use Draco meteor!"
"Dig underground to avoid it!"
"Hit Steelix with dragon pulse as he comes up!"
While Steelix was able to evade the attack, the dragon pulse that followed as he surfaced was a direct hit.
"Now use rock smash!"
"Stop Gible with stone edge."
As Gible raced towards Steelix, the stone edge attack came and stopped him in his tracks leaving a large explosion where the land shark stood.
"GIBLE!"
Standing in the crater where Gible was stood what was definitely not a Gible. In his place stood a Gabite nearly 6 feet tall, well above the average for the species.
"I'm ok…I'M OK. Wait…did I evolve?"
"Yes, yes you did Gabite. Now let me scan you on the Pokédex."
Dexter: Gabite, the land shark Pokémon, and the evolved form of Gible. Upon evolving, its more powerful jaws can crush diamonds, and thus become perpetually angry as they are unable to safely show their trainers affection through clamping their jaws on their trainers' heads. This Gabite is male, is 5'11", and knows the following moves:
Draco meteor
Dragon pulse
Dragon rush (egg move)
Rock smash
Aerial ace (egg move)
Dig
Earthquake
Slash
Iron head (egg move)
This Gabite has also unlocked the egg moves Dragon rush, Aerial ace, and Iron head.
"Wow Gabite! You've definitely gotten stronger. Now let's take down Mega Steelix."
"You're going down, ya overgrown rock snake."
"I dare ye peasant."
"Gabite, use dragon rush!"
"Steelix! use bind to stop Gabite."
"Dodge and get onto Steelix's head."
"Steelix! Shake off Gabite and use iron tail."
"Catch the iron tail with dragon claw, then bite onto his tail."
"Shake off Gabite."
"Let go of my tail ye peasant."
"Nu-un."
"Now finish this with Draco meteor!"
"Uh-oh."
In an explosion of power from a move like Draco meteor from so close up, Steelix stood no chance. When the dust cleared, Mega Steelix revered to his base form unconscious, with Gabite standing proudly over him.
"Steelix is unable to battle. The battle goes to Gabite. With all six of the gym leader's Pokémon unable to battle, the victory goes to Ash Ketchum of Pallet town."
"Woo-hoo! We won guys!"
"Yippee", said Gabite as he attempted to chomp on Ash's head. Ash, remembering what the Dexter mentioned about Gabite's jaws, infused his skull with Aura. Fortunately, it worked, and he did not die that day from a crushed skull.
"And this time, you won without using the sprinkler system" chucked Brock as he recalled Steelix.
"Har-har, laugh it up. I won fair and square, and that's all that matters."
"Fair enough. Now, as the leader of the Pewter City Gym, I present you with the Boulder Badge as proof of victory here."
"Are we gonna do that weird pose we always do whenever we win a gym badge."
"No, but no promises when I win the Indigo League."
"I guess that's the best I'll get for now.", sighed Pikachu.
"So Brock, will you be joining us just like old times." asked Ash as he would really miss Brock if he didn't travelling with them.
"Definitely, but on one condition."
"Name it."
"Can I borrow Misty's mallet?"

As the trio left Pewter City behind them, Ash and Misty filled in Brock on everything that happened so far. Brock, meanwhile, told them about the differences he so far had noticed between this timeline and their original one.
They learned how Brock and Olivia had meet up a few years ago and had hit off from the beginning. They apparently started dating six months later and had been in a steady long-term relationship for the past two years.
"Brock. I'm proud of you. And now Misty won't get tired of yanking your ear off every few hours."
"Laugh it up guys. It took me six months to get a girlfriend after knowing her. Meanwhile, it took you guys nine years."
"Hey!"

So…how do you guys like the story so far. Post some reviews so I can improve the story – I welcome all kinds of feedback. I'll also try to answer questions from the reviews as they come along.
So regarding the direction of the story, the main reason I started writing it was that a part of me wants the Pokémon show to have a proper ending. Some might consider it the worst thing that could happen to the series but as a guy who grew up with the anime, I want Ash to actually grow up, not be stuck as a ten-year-old till the end of time.
In essence, I've applied some real-world concepts to the Pokémon universe, just enough to give it some realism, like requiring people to complete a high school education before becoming a trainer. I'll also be adding a bit of lore that will support the story as a whole at the bottom of every chapter, such that it makes the experience all the better for you guys, the readers. Note that all of this is mainly for this story and is primarily my opinion, though you could definitely apply it to the anime, stretching it a bit .
But don't worry, Ash isn't truly overpowered, but now, for once, he and his Pokémon might actually be able to go toe to toe against true legendaries and survive, maybe more without crazy good luck.
This week's lore is on true legendaries.
True legendaries, I believe, are the first of a legendary or mythical species or the only version of that Pokémon. They also control either forces of nature or powerful concepts, like Time (Dialga), or Order (Zygarde). For example, Groudon and Kyogre are true legendaries as there is ONLY ONE that ever exists (For Rayquaza, I consider the regular colored one representing the northern hemisphere of Earth and the shiny representing the southern hemisphere, so they are both true legendaries).
One that illustrates the difference well would be Lugia. The true Lugia would be the one that appears in the Pokémon the Movie 2000. The Lugia baby Silver is still a legendary, just not a true legendary, like his father (I think that the Movie Lugia is his father?).
Another example would be the Darkrai from the movie, the Rise of Darkrai, which would be considered a true legendary, as he was able to go against Dialga and Palkia and survive. The one used by Tobias, however, is not a true legendary, and thus it makes sense how he/she/it could be beaten by Sceptile, in my opinion.
The next POI would be the Pokédex. I initially used bulbapedia and pokemondb to support my reference material from the anime but found some values to be unrealistic. Groudon, for example is listed as 11'6". In the anime, he is definitely way bigger than 11 ft tall, and should be closer to 30 or 40 ft to be realistic in my opinion. Like this, I've taken my own spin on the Pokédex data, though within reason, as you will see both here and in future chapters.
Regarding adult scenes and content, I'm not going to put them everywhere. Most of the time, I'm going to allude to them, but I'll only make them for important scenes, so that I don't divert from the actual content of the story. Though I might put them in every now and then.
I'd like to ask you readers about how I should handle the adult content, because this is my first time writing a story with it. I don't want the story to have really hardcore sex scenes though. So do I make them warm and intimate? Rough BDSM? Crazy kinky stuff? IDK and that's why I'm asking you guys. If enough people feel that I should just allude to adult moments but not explicitly write them in the story, I could do that as well.
Also, I know that the lemon from chapter 02 was definitely rushed to an extent (and could have been done better), so I revised it, now go take a look at it if you'd like!
I should be posting the next chapter within a week, two at max.
I hope I didn't overload you with info.
