In fanfiction, if Ash were to die in Pokemon XYZ, it would be a huge shock to the Pokemon world. His friends like Pikachu would be devastated. Maybe Team Rocket would even feel a strange sense of loss. It could lead to a whole new storyline where his friends try to avenge his death or carry on his legacy of becoming a Pokemon Master.
He could die in a battle against a very powerful and evil Pokemon. Maybe a new, extremely strong legendary Pokemon that he underestimated, and it managed to land a fatal blow.
Obviously, Dark Ash is one of the main characters. He's the center of the story with his transformed state. Serena might also be a main character as she could be trying to reach out to Ash or deal with the new Dark Ash.
The main appeal is their relationship. In the series, they have a special bond. Fanfictions allow fans to explore this bond further, whether it's romantically or as great friends. It gives a chance to see them in new situations not shown in the original series.
One great fanfiction could be 'Ash and Serena's Unseen Adventure'. It might explore their relationship further as they journey through a new region filled with unique Pokemon. Another could be 'Serena's Dream Come True with Ash', where Serena finally achieves her long - held dreams while Ash is right by her side supporting her. And there's also 'The Bond of Ash and Serena', which delves deep into how their bond grew over their adventures.
One possible interesting plotline could be Dark Ash's struggle with his new, darker side while still having memories of his former self. Maybe he has to face off against his old friends who don't recognize him at first.
In certain fanfictions, Ash might die from an incurable disease that he contracts while exploring a new and mysterious region in the Pokémon world. His Pokémon then have to deal with his loss and some might go on a journey to find a way to bring him back. For example, Pikachu could be determined to find a mythical Pokémon that has the power to revive the dead.
There could be. Fanfiction is a very creative and diverse medium. Writers can take the Pokemon XY setting and create all kinds of scenarios, including ones where Ash meets an untimely end. But it might not be a common type of fanfiction because Ash is such an iconic and beloved character. His death would be a very drastic departure from the normal upbeat and adventure - filled Pokemon stories.
The writing style matters a lot. A great Pokemon XYZ Ash x Reader fanfic uses vivid descriptions to bring the story to life. It makes you feel like you are right there with Ash and the reader. The dialogue should be natural, as if it could actually be something Ash would say in the series. Also, the fanfic should have some emotional depth, whether it's the excitement of a new discovery or the warmth of the relationship between Ash and the reader.
Ash would be extremely heartbroken. He might cry a lot and be in a state of shock at first. Then he would probably feel angry at the situation that led to Gary's death, whether it was a villain or just a dangerous accident. Ash would also feel a strong sense of responsibility, as if he has to carry on Gary's unfulfilled dreams.
