There could be a fanfiction where Ash is magically bound to obey a mysterious force. This changes his whole approach to Pokémon battles. Instead of his usual impulsive style, he has to carefully plan and execute his moves according to the commands of this force. It makes for a really different and exciting take on his character.
Well, the concept of Ash having to obey is interesting because it can completely change the dynamics of his relationships. His Pokémon, his friends, and his rivals will all interact with him differently. It also allows the author to explore different plotlines and scenarios that wouldn't be possible in the normal Pokémon storyline where Ash is more independent.
One common theme is the struggle between the hypnotized Ash and his true self. His friends often play a crucial role in trying to break the hypnosis and bring him back to normal. Another theme could be the power struggle between the one who hypnotizes Ash and those who want to free him.
Maybe a new, mysterious villain who has a grudge against Ash or wants to use his skills for their own evil purposes. This villain might be from a far - off region and has special powers that allow them to hypnotize people. They see Ash as a useful tool to carry out their plans in the Pokémon world.
Another great one could be the fanfiction that delves into Ash's past as Red. It might show how he started his journey as Red and how certain events from that past still influence his actions in the present. For example, his encounter with a particular Pokémon as Red might have given him some knowledge or skills that he uses in his current battles.
One possible plot could be that a villain uses hypnosis on Ash Ketchum to make him do their bidding in Pokémon battles. So instead of using his own strategies, he's forced to follow the commands of the hypnotist. This would create a lot of chaos and challenges for his friends as they try to figure out what's wrong with Ash and how to break the hypnosis.
There's a fanfic called 'Serena's Heart, Ash's Destiny' which delves deep into Serena's perspective of her love for Ash. It shows how she overcomes her insecurities and finally confesses her feelings to him. This fanfic is full of emotional moments and character development.
There's a fanfic called 'Misty's True Feelings' which delves deep into Misty's emotions towards Ash. It's a really heart - warming read as it shows their relationship from Misty's perspective in a more detailed way. In this fanfiction, the author beautifully describes how Misty has grown over the years and how her feelings for Ash have evolved.
One popular 'Ash Ketchum OC Indigo' fanfiction could be 'The Indigo Adventure of Ash and His New Friend'. It might involve Ash meeting an original character (OC) in the Indigo region and going on exciting Pokémon battles and adventures together. Another could be 'Indigo's Hidden Gem with Ash Ketchum', where the OC has a special power or ability that helps Ash in his journey in the Indigo League.
One possible plotline could be that a villain uses a new type of Poké - ball technology to control Ash's mind and make him do their bidding, like stealing Pokémon from other trainers. Another could be a strange psychic Pokémon that accidentally takes over Ash's mind while trying to communicate, leading to some chaotic and comical situations as his friends try to figure out what's wrong and break the control.
One possible fanfiction could involve Team Rocket using a new device to hypnotize Ash Ketchum. They might make him do silly things like singing a Pokémon theme song in a really strange voice or making Pikachu do a little dance. But of course, his friends would eventually figure out what's going on and try to break the hypnosis.
