One idea could be that Ash gets transformed into a Pokémon and has to figure out how to communicate with his friends. Another could be that Team Rocket manages to use a new device to transform Pikachu into a different type of Pokémon. Maybe Ash and Team Rocket end up having to team up when a new, more powerful villain emerges who wants to transform all Pokémon into mindless servants.
Definitely Ash. His journey and how it's affected by the transformation can be the heart of the story. Team Rocket has so much potential. They could be the cause of the transformation, or they could be accidental victims too. Another character worth focusing on is Tracey. He's not as well - known as some of the others, but that could be used to an advantage. He could be the one who discovers a hidden aspect of the transformation. And don't forget about the Pokémon in the Pokémon Center. They could be witnesses to strange happenings related to Ash's transformation and could play a small but important role in the overall fanfiction.
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.
If Team Rocket turns Ash into a Pokemon, his relationship with his old Pokemon would change. His Pokemon might not recognize him at first. But as they sense his familiar spirit, they could try to protect him. And Ash, in his new form, could learn a lot about the true nature of Pokemon. He could discover secrets about their evolution, abilities, and the hidden powers within them that he never knew as a human trainer.
One thing that would happen is that his Pokémon battles would take on a whole new meaning. Instead of battling for the sake of becoming a Pokémon master, he might be battling to further Team Rocket's goals. His Pokémon would have to adjust to this new purpose. Also, Ash would probably have to wear Team Rocket's uniform, which would be a really strange sight for fans who are used to seeing him in his normal get - up.
One interesting storyline could be Team Rocket actually helping Ash in a dire situation. Maybe they realize that a greater evil is about to destroy the Pokemon world and they decide to team up with Ash for once. Their skills in stealing and sneaking around could be useful in gathering information about this new threat.
One idea could be that Ash feels betrayed by his friends because they always overshadow his achievements. So, in a fit of anger and disappointment, he decides to join Team Rocket. He might think that with their resources, he can finally become a more powerful trainer on his own terms.
He might become more cautious. Usually, Ash is quite bold and rushes into things. But if he's in a Team Rocket - centered fanfiction, he'd likely be more careful as he's constantly surrounded by danger. For example, he'd think twice before challenging a new Pokemon or entering an unknown area.
Yes, in some Team Rocket fanfictions, Ash can be depicted in various ways that might involve him having some sort of connection to Pokémon in a different light. Maybe he could be experimented on by Team Rocket to gain Pokémon - like abilities, or be transformed into a Pokémon - like being in a very creative and out - of - the - box fanfiction concept.
