Pokémon Gray
Pokémon Gray. What if Ash had never traveled to Unova before now? How will Ash fare in his role as a mentor to a new Trainer? Now 18 years old and World Champion, Ash is ready to take an important step in his journey to become a Pokémon Master. It's not about competing in another Pokémon League Tournament or defeating more Champions, but about doing something new and completely different. It had been a long time since Ash had traveled to a new region. He often journeyed between the regions he had visited before: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Kalos, Alola, and Galar, and had great friends from all of them.Years ago, he realized one of the fundamental steps to becoming a Pokémon Master. After spending much time pondering what it truly meant to be a Pokémon Master, he understood that only a new journey could provide the answer he was seeking. Will our hero take this important step in his journey? (AmourShipping AshxSerena)
All for You
Ash and his friends are invited to a very prestigious pokemon high school in the Kalos region. While climbing through the ranks of the world corronation series, Ash will reunite with old friends (*cough**cough* Gary) and even learns about love with a certain blond Kalosian. And when the bond between Lucario and Ash will reach new heights, will they be able to stop the shadowy figure who's out for revenge? Or will Ash, Lucario, and Serena not be enough? This story will include Ash being extra OP, Amourshipping, Aura powers, and lots of his past traveling companions in a high school. There will also be a little contestshipping and vermillionshipping. Updates will be approx. daily, and I promise that there will be an ending even if I loose interest/motivation. I wasn't planning on putting the top all-time rankings in the description, but I desperately want to brag that I have had #1 in amourshipping, #3 in satosere, and #19 in pokemon.Complete
Our Promise, Our Future
After winning the Kalos League and keeping their promise, Ash and Serena continue their journey together. From new regions, to new Pokemon, to new battles and new experiences. Whatever lies ahead, they don't know, but they will face it together. This is a sequel to my Our Promise one-shot (which you can read if you'd like for some extra exposition but it's not required). I kept looking over it and I saw more potential in it, but instead of going back to that story, I decided to keep it a one-shot and make the sequel a multi-chapter story. I don't know how many chapters I'll write, but I'll try to make it long enough to be considered a good read. I do know that I don't have an uploading schedule, so new chapters will most likely appear at random. I hope you'll all enjoy my first attempt at a multi-chapter Pokemon story. Fair warning though. This story will have swearing and some mature topics in it, so be prepared for stuff like that. So please enjoy reading Our Promise, Our Future! Lifespan: 12/30/21-10/27/23 1/19/22: 1k reads!!!!
