It could be a story where Ash and Chimchar start their journey in a region filled with different elemental zones. Chimchar struggles in the water - based zones at first. Ash teams up with a local trainer who specializes in water - type Pokémon to help Chimchar learn how to adapt. This experience strengthens their bond and makes Chimchar a more versatile Pokémon in battles.
Perhaps the fanfiction could be about Ash and Chimchar traveling through an ancient, mysterious forest. There, they discover a hidden Pokémon species that is related to Chimchar's evolution line. This discovery could lead to Chimchar evolving in a different way than normal, and Ash has to learn how to train and battle with this new - evolved form.
The plot could involve Ash and Chimchar facing a series of challenges in a new Pokémon league. They might encounter a powerful villain who has a special device that can nullify Chimchar's fire attacks. Ash then has to find a way to train Chimchar to use its other skills, like its speed and agility, to defeat the villain's Pokémon.
In a fanfiction of Ash and Chimchar as a starter, it could focus on their bond. Ash might find Chimchar in a distressed state, having been separated from its group. Ash takes it in and nurses it back to health. As they train together, Chimchar evolves at a crucial moment during a battle against a powerful trainer, saving Ash from defeat.
One possibility is that Ash discovers a young Rayquaza at the start of his journey. Maybe it's injured and Ash nurses it back to health. This could lead to a strong bond between them, and Rayquaza could become his most powerful Pokémon, helping him in battles against tough opponents like Team Rocket or other powerful trainers.
One possible scenario in this fanfiction could be that Ash's journey takes a completely different turn with Latios as his starter. Latios, being a powerful and intelligent Pokémon, might help Ash quickly gain a reputation in the Pokémon world. They could form a unique bond, different from what Ash has had with his other Pokémon in the original series. Ash could use Latios' speed and psychic abilities to his advantage in battles, making him a formidable trainer right from the start.
The plot could start with Ash getting Riolu as his starter Pokémon instead of Pikachu. Riolu might be a bit of a troublemaker at first, not fully understanding Ash's commands. But as they journey together, they start to understand each other better.
One possible plot could be that Ash, instead of starting with Pikachu, starts with a Gastly. Gastly could use its spooky abilities to help Ash in battles. For example, it could use its ability to turn invisible to surprise opponents. It might also play pranks on Ash's rivals, like making them think they're seeing ghosts in the forest where they're camping.
Well, one possible plot could be that Female Ash starts her journey with a Datini. Maybe she discovers Datini has some unique abilities that set them apart from other starters. They could face challenges in the first gym battle together, with Datini using its speed to dodge attacks and Female Ash coming up with creative strategies.
The plot could involve the female Ash and her Dratini exploring new regions not seen in the original series. They could discover ancient Pokémon secrets. For example, Dratini might lead Ash to a hidden cave filled with rare dragon - type Pokémon. Ash has to learn how to train Dratini in a way that suits its unique abilities. Maybe she focuses on Dratini's speed and special attacks rather than brute force. This journey of discovery and growth would be the main focus of the fanfiction.
In this fanfiction, perhaps Ash starts with a Eevee. Since Eevee can evolve into multiple forms, it would add a whole new dimension to his journey. He could face different challenges as he tries to decide which evolution path to take for Eevee, and it would also attract different kinds of Pokémon opponents.
Maybe in the fanfiction, Trapinch is a rare and special Trapinch that has some kind of ancient power. Ash discovers this and has to protect Trapinch from villains who want to use its power for evil. Along the way, Ash and Trapinch form a really strong bond as they face these threats together.
Well, in this fanfiction, perhaps Ash stumbles upon a Mudkip that was abandoned by its trainer. Feeling sorry for it, Ash takes it as his starter. They start their journey together, and the Mudkip has an unusual ability to communicate with water - type Pokémon. This leads to some interesting adventures as they encounter water - based mysteries and help other Pokémon in distress. They also have to prove themselves to other trainers who doubt a Mudkip as a starter.
