In fanfiction, their relationship could develop more quickly. Instead of the slow - burn rivalry - to - friendship arc in the anime, they might become friends almost immediately after a shared adventure. For example, they could be trapped in a cave together and realize they need to work together to get out. This would jump - start their friendship.
Their relationship could start out as a simple acquaintance. They meet by chance in a forest, for instance, and are initially cautious of each other. But as they face a common enemy, like a wild and aggressive Pokemon, they start to trust each other and become friends.
Well, perhaps there could be a fanfiction where a powerful and mysterious Pokemon trainer captures both Meowth and Pikachu. The trainer forces them to battle each other for his amusement. But instead of fighting, they team up to escape. They use their unique skills, like Meowth's ability to speak human language to communicate with other Pokemon that can help them, and Pikachu's electric attacks to break through barriers. During their escape, they learn more about the trainer's dark secrets and also become closer friends.
However, over time, he could develop resilience. The experience of being abandoned might force him to become stronger, both physically and emotionally. He may learn to trust again, but it would be a slow process as he has to overcome the initial emotional trauma of abandonment.
One reason could be unrequited love. In the Pokemon world, Meowth has a soft spot for certain Pokemon, like the Skitty. If in a fanfiction, Skitty rejected Meowth's advances, it would make him sad. Another could be his longing for acceptance. Meowth is a part of Team Rocket, but often they don't fully appreciate his skills. He might feel sad and underappreciated in a fanfiction scenario. Also, memories of his past life on the streets, before joining Team Rocket, might haunt him and bring about sadness.
Their love story could develop gradually. At first, they might just be friends who help each other out. For instance, Glaceon could use its ice powers to create a path for Pikachu in a snowy area. As time goes on, they start to feel something more. Pikachu might start to get jealous when other Pokémon show interest in Glaceon. And Glaceon might feel sad when Pikachu has to leave for a while. This would be the start of their deeper emotional connection that leads to love.
A writer can use Meowth's body language. For example, they can describe his drooping ears, his slow and slouched walk, and his tail hanging low. This physical appearance immediately gives the readers an idea of his sadness. Also, the use of simple dialogue like 'Meowth meow (I'm so sad)' can be effective.
Well, if they meet differently, say through a magical accident that binds their fates in an unusual way. Their relationship development would be full of twists and turns. At first, they might be frustrated with the situation they are in because of this strange meeting. But as they try to figure out how to break the bond or at least understand it, they end up spending a lot of time together. This forced proximity makes them learn things about each other that they would have never known otherwise. Their relationship could start as reluctant cooperation but gradually turn into something more affectionate as they realize they have more in common than they thought.
One popular type of Pokemon Ash and Pikachu fanfiction might be adventure - based. For example, Ash and Pikachu could embark on a journey to a new and mysterious region filled with undiscovered Pokemon species. They might face challenges like difficult terrains and powerful, previously - unseen Pokemon. In this fanfiction, Pikachu's electric powers could be enhanced in some unique way, and Ash would have to strategize differently to overcome the obstacles.
Well, one possibility could be that Meowth betrays Team Rocket. Maybe he gets tired of their constant failures and decides to side with Ash and his friends. He might see that they have a more positive and successful approach to their Pokemon journey.
He would probably become more introspective. Usually, Ash is quite action - oriented. However, in this fanfiction scenario where he's involved with Legendary Pokemon, he would start to question his place in the world, his purpose, and his relationship with Pokemon on a deeper level. He might also become more reserved, as the magnitude of the Legendary Pokemon's power and the secrets they hold would make him more cautious. His relationships with his existing Pokemon would also shift. They would look up to him even more, and he would have to learn to manage their newfound respect while still maintaining the bond of friendship.
