Fanfiction about these team leaders can also focus on their relationships. Spark of Team Valor and Candela of Team Instinct could have a friendly rivalry that goes beyond just the in - game competition. They might meet up secretly to discuss Pokemon strategies without their teams knowing.
Well, it could be that Team Rocket manages to brainwash the gym leaders into doing their bidding. Maybe they use some new, devious device or a powerful, mind - controlling Pokémon. The brainwashed gym leaders could then start causing chaos in the Pokémon world, like changing the rules of gym battles or stealing rare Pokémon for Team Rocket.
A time - travel fanfiction involving the team leaders would be cool. They could go back in time to witness the origin of Pokemon. This would give them new insights into the creatures they are so passionate about, and they could bring back forgotten knowledge to the present day.
Obviously, the gym leaders themselves would be important characters. They are the ones being brainwashed. And of course, members of Team Rocket like Jessie, James, and Giovanni would be main characters as they are the ones doing the brainwashing. Also, there could be a young, heroic trainer who tries to stop Team Rocket and save the gym leaders.
Maybe there's a rogue Pokemon trainer. This trainer is jealous of Dawn's skills and the attention she gets. When Dawn joins Team Rocket, this trainer sees it as a chance to expose her as a fraud. He or she then tries to stop Dawn and Team Rocket's activities, thinking that they are up to no good, which they are, but the trainer has his own self - centered motives.
Team Rocket and Team Plasma have some interesting differences. Team Rocket is more about classic criminal activities like stealing Pokémon for profit. In fanfiction, they often clash with trainers in a more straightforward, greedy way. Team Plasma, on the other hand, has the ideology of 'liberating' Pokémon, which can lead to complex storylines. In many fanfictions, their clash is not just about power but also about different views on Pokémon-human relationships.
If Team Rocket turns Ash into a Pokemon, it could lead to a really interesting story. Ash would have to experience the world from a Pokemon's perspective. He'd understand their struggles, like being caught and trained. This could also be a way for him to better understand his own Pokemon and their bond with him. And it would be a wild adventure as he tries to find a way to turn back to his human form.
In a fanfiction where Ash joins Team Rocket, it could lead to some really interesting storylines. Ash has a lot of knowledge about Pokémon training that Team Rocket lacks. He could potentially teach them new techniques, but at the same time, his moral compass would be constantly at odds with their devious ways. Maybe he joins them because he's somehow tricked or he has his own secret plan to take them down from the inside. It would be a great opportunity to explore different aspects of his character and how he adapts to this new situation.
In a Pokemon Red join Team Rocket fanfic, the main character could be a disillusioned trainer. Maybe they've lost a few too many battles and are looking for a new way to gain an edge. Team Rocket seems like an alluring option. They join up and are immediately thrust into the world of illegal Pokemon trading. However, they soon meet a friendly Pokemon that shows them kindness despite their new allegiance. This makes them question their decision to join Team Rocket and they start to think about how they can use their new position to actually help the Pokemon instead of harming them.
Well, if Ash joins Team Rocket in a fanfic, it would be a huge shift in the Pokemon world. His friends, like Misty and Brock, would be shocked. They might try to rescue him. Ash, on the other hand, could initially be attracted to the idea of a new adventure with Team Rocket. He could see them as underdogs in a way, always failing but still trying. But as time goes on, he'd start to see the problems with their way of doing things.
