Journey to top them all-Kanto Arc

by StoryGuy960

Ash is starting his journey a little later in life and this version is much more intelligent and starts with a new pokemon besides Pikachu. Smart Ash who is much more mature than the anime and he is going to catch a variety of pokemon. My first fic so give me your opinion He is going to be traveling solo except for his pokemon and some pokemon will be a little more custom.

12. Retirement-kind of

Chapter 11: Retiring this story but redoing it soon.

Not doing disclaimer.

Please Read all of this

Hey everyone, sorry I completely dropped off the face of the earth since August. My first semester in college was hectic and the schedule for my classes and my work shifts never allowed me any time to truly write new chapters. I will be redoing the story in a somewhat different way because like some of you, I didn't quite like where it was going.

*The biggest changes will be the starter which I will be making traditional, kind of using some ideas from the story CHALLENGER (Which you should also read) and giving Ash, Gary, and Leaf the three traditional starters with a little twist on how they get them.

*The fossil pokemon situation will be changed dramatically or might not even happen at all. It was a fun chapter to write and I loved Grimlock and the Amaura I introduced but it was a little too far fetched (hah) to be preferred in the story.

*He will be catching entirely the pokemon of that region he is in with maybe an outside pokemon beign received as a gift or an egg. I want to do something like Traveler where all of the his pokemon at least have some origin in the Kanto region except for the one he got as an egg.

*The biggest change of all will be that I will be following the video games more than the anime. Ive been focusing way too much on the actual anime itself while I wanted to actually focus on the games. I hope you guys like this change because in my opinion, the anime was a little too comical for the serious tone I want for this story.

I hope you guys like the ideas for the "new" story and I really want your input on names for pokemon, possible catches, and any other idea you guys have for the story. The new chapter will be up either today or later tomorrow and will be called…. "Conquest" …maybe. Still deciding. Point is, story will be up soon. Give me your opinions please.
