One popular storyline could be Ash and Molly going on a special adventure together to discover a new type of Pokemon. They might face challenges like difficult terrains and powerful wild Pokemon.
For Ash, his character could be developed further by showing his growth in understanding different Pokemon cultures. With Molly, he could learn new ways of interacting with Pokemon that are different from what he's used to. For example, if Molly has a closer bond with water - type Pokemon due to her origin, Ash could learn from her how to better communicate with them.
For Ash, he could develop by learning new battle strategies from Molly Hale. Maybe she has a more tactical approach to battles compared to Ash's instinct - based style. This could make him a more well - rounded trainer. As for Molly Hale, she could develop her confidence in dealing with different types of Pokemon. Interacting with Ash, who has so much experience, would expose her to more situations that require quick thinking and bold actions.
Perhaps a plot where Ash and Molly Hale get transported to an alternate dimension where the rules of the Pokemon world are different. In this dimension, Pokemon battles are more extreme and dangerous. They have to quickly adapt and find a way back home. They meet some strange characters in this dimension who either help or hinder their progress. Their friendship grows as they rely on each other to survive in this unfamiliar and often hostile environment.
Some fanfictions focus on growth. They show how Ash and Molly grow as individuals and as a team. This could involve them learning new skills, overcoming personal fears, and becoming better Pokémon trainers in the process.
Pikachu is a very likely candidate. It's Ash's most iconic Pokemon and has a deep bond with him. Whenever Ash is in trouble, Pikachu often steps up to protect him.
Ash could be a Pokémon trainer with a different starting point in this fanfiction. Born in 1987, by 1997 he might have already made a name for himself in local Pokémon battles. He could have a team of Pokémon that he rescued from difficult situations, like a Charmander that was abandoned by its trainer. His story could revolve around giving these Pokémon a second chance and proving that Pokémon don't need to be 'perfect' to be strong.
One common theme is friendship. Their travels often strengthen their bond as friends. Another could be discovery. They might discover new places, cultures, or powers during their journey.
The impact of Ash's loss in the fanfiction could extend beyond just himself. His Pokémon might also feel demoralized. However, this could also be an opportunity for them to grow stronger together. Ash could start training more intensively, seek new training methods, or even try to catch new Pokémon to strengthen his team.
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.
