A theme of environmental protection is also quite prevalent. Rangers are often associated with protecting nature and Pokémon habitats. So in 'Ash as a Ranger' fanfictions, Ash is usually involved in efforts to stop villains from polluting or destroying natural areas. He might have to battle against teams that are after rare Pokémon in these habitats, which ties into the theme of conservation. This can be seen in many fanfictions where Ash has to use his ranger skills to safeguard a particular area.
Ash is known for his loyalty and friendship. In the Hornary Ranger world, these traits would help him build strong bonds with the other rangers. He would be the kind of teammate who always has your back, just like he does with his Pokémon. His competitive side might also drive him to be one of the best Hornary Rangers, constantly striving to improve and take on tougher missions.
Obviously, Ash is a common character. His friends like Brock and Misty might also make appearances. They could offer their own skills and knowledge to help Ash in his ranger adventures.
Some fanfictions might show Ash becoming a sort of honorary Pokemon Ranger. He would then have to balance his duties as a Trainer and as a Ranger. This could create internal conflict for him as he tries to decide which role is more important at different times. His friends from the Pokemon journey, like Brock and Misty, could also be involved, adding more layers to the story.
Well, in the fanfiction, if Ash becomes a Pokémon Ranger, he'd probably have a whole new set of Pokémon partners that are more suited to the ranger work. These could be Pokémon with abilities like tracking or stealth. He would also have to learn new strategies for handling different situations compared to his Trainer days, like dealing with natural disasters that affect Pokémon. He'd be more involved in conservation efforts, ensuring the balance of the Pokémon ecosystem.
One popular 'Ash as a Ranger' fanfiction is 'Ash's Ranger Adventure'. It takes Ash on a journey through a new region where he becomes a ranger and has to deal with various new Pokémon and challenges. Another great one is 'Ash, the Ranger in Training' which focuses on his initial days of ranger training, showing how he adapts to the ranger way of life.
One possible plot could be that Ash, with his experience in battling and his adventurous spirit, stumbles upon the world of the Hornary Rangers. Maybe he starts as an outsider but quickly learns their ways and becomes an important part of the team. He could use his Pokémon - like Pikachu - to help in battles against new and strange enemies that the Hornary Rangers face.
In some fanfictions, Ash could team up with other well - known Pokemon Rangers. They might go on a mission to save a rare and endangered Pokemon species. This would involve a lot of adventure, like traversing difficult terrains and facing off against poachers.
Ash's determination is a big part of his appeal. In Pokemon Ranger fanfiction, this trait allows him to face any challenges that come his way in the Ranger world. Whether it's dealing with a powerful rogue Pokemon or helping to rescue a trapped Pokemon, his never - give - up attitude shines through.
Ash would probably become more patient. Rangers often have to wait and observe Pokémon in their natural habitats. This is different from his Trainer days where he was more focused on quick battles and leveling up his Pokémon. He'd also be more diplomatic, since he'd need to work with other Rangers and people in the Pokémon world who might have different opinions on conservation and Pokémon management.
