History Characters / AshesOfThePast

** DrillSergeantNasty: According to Sceptile and [[spoiler:Raikou]].

* SuperMode: [[spoiler:Has Mega Evolved, though only within Aura Purge mind-scapes]].

** [[spoiler: With regards to actual Mega Stones, Charla loans him her Charizardite Y on important occasions, and Ash eventually acquires Charizardite X from Baron Alberto]].

* ImprobableWeaponUser: Can imbue his sunglasses with aura to use them as a sword.

* SuperMode: [[spoiler: Somehow managed to create a Mega Stone that works and Mega Evolve into Mega Squirtle. That's right, Squirtle ''made his own Super Mode''.]]

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Dexter becoming a Porygon basically saves the line from being {{Exiled From Continuity}}. It is even noted at the start of the story that the only two Kanto-to-Sinnoh Pokémon Ash hadn't seen yet were [=Porygon2=] ([[spoiler: at least until May's own Porygon evolves]]) and Porygon-Z.

* SuperMode: [[spoiler: Is loaned a Lucarionite by the Lucario Kingdom during the Mystery of Mew movie.]]

* WolverineClaws: Metal Claw, like its canon use. Goes into full BladeBelowTheShoulder when he adds [[spoiler: Sacred Sword]].

* NoSell: Was able to negate being frozen due to [[spoiler: Mega Heracross producing high temperatures of body heat]].
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Knows Arm Thrust, which is this [[spoiler: in his Mega Evolution]].

* ActionGirl

* UpliftedAnimal: [[spoiler: Exposure to Ash's Aura awakened her spirit which resided inside his ceremonial sword]].

Technically not a member of Ash's team, but he is owned by [[spoiler: Mawile]].

* SuperMode: Several of Ash's Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, which [[spoiler:Charizard, Pidgeot, Lucario, Heracross, Squirtle (via an artificial Mega Stone that broke after one use), Latios, Latias, Absol, Mawile, Tyranitar and Sceptile]] have all undergone at least once. Compatible Mega Stones are also known (having been mentioned or seen in action) to exist for a few more of Ash's team, including [[spoiler: Houndoom and Glalie.]]

* TokenHuman: Trapped inside the pocket dimension with Arcues and the second Creation Trio as the only human.

** As of Chapter 261 the total is 50, counting the five Tauros individually [[spoiler:and 51 if Mawile's Tyrantum is included]]. And he owns at least one Pokémon of each type to boot.

** As of Chapter 250 the total is 48, counting the five Tauros individually. And he owns at least one Pokémon of each type to boot.

A Pokémon Ash did not have in the original timeline. He received the egg as a prize for the Pokémon skateboard race in the place of Donphan's.

* YouNoTakeCandle: Meowth is teaking her to speak to humans, but she's not very coherent yet.

* Sinnoh Ribbons: Jubilife Ribbon (241), Hearthome City (254)

* FantasticFightingStyle: [[GoodThingYouCanHeal Since he can just regenerate damage]], Primeape is helping him develop a fighting style that does not care about taking damage and focuses purely on strength.

* WildMassGuessing: Indulges in this ''a lot'', mostly revolving around Ash and a lot of stuff he reads online.

* MuggingTheMonster: Thanks to Ash restoring the Rocket Trio's memories, the Poison-type poacher Rico (who originally forced them to release Arbok and Weezing) got his butt handed to him on a silver platter.

* Sinnoh Badges: Coal Badge (242), Forest Badge (249)

* EvilVersusOblivion: Besides gathering good PR for Team Rocket, the Rocket Trio's purpose is to stop villains from fucking up the world or some other shit like that because in a destroyed world, you can't rule or make a profit. Giovanni knows it, so he sends the Rocket Trio to disaster areas to help Ash and co. because usually that's where the kids would be.

* MuggingTheMonster: Thanks to Ash restoring the Rocket Trio's memories, the Poison-type poacher Rico (who originally forced them to release Arbok and Weezing) got his ass handed to him.

* EvilVersusOblivion: While Team Rocket still seeks control by all means in this timeline, it ''DOES NOT'' dabble in methods that result in massive collateral damage, societal collapse, or the universe itself being fucked up, and the reason is that you can't rule or make a profit in a destroyed world. As such, Giovanni would send his Rocket Executives (namely the Rocket Trio) to disaster areas not only to [[VillainWithGoodPublicity gather good PR]] but to eliminate threats to his ultimate plans, which of course results in said Executives aiding Ash and Co.

* Hoenn Ribbons: Slateport City (126), Verdenturf City (142), Rubello Town (149), Mossdeep City (167), Pacifidlog Town (176). Hoenn Grand Festival Top Coordinator. Kanto Grand Festival Runner-Up.

Sinnoh Ribbons- Jubilife Ribbon (241)

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Is the latter for both of her fully-evolved playmates, [[spoiler: Tyranitar]] and [[spoiler: Goodra]].

* Hoenn Badges: Stone Badge (121), Knuckle Badge (125), Dynamo Badge (132), Heat Badge (140), Balance Badge (145), Feather Badge (154), Mind Badge (169), Rain Badge (173). Did not finish the regional conference [[spoiler: due to the Delta Episode interrupting]].

* {{Telepathy}}: Thanks to Ash being an Aura user, he can mentally communicate with Pokémon, including his own.

* Hoenn Badges: Stone Badge (121), Knuckle Badge (124), Dynamo Badge (132), Heat Badge (139), Balance Badge (144), Feather Badge (155), Mind Badge (169), Rain Badge (172). Did not finish the regional conference [[spoiler: due to the Delta Episode interrupting]].

!!Kari Burns (Honedge)

* [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot Could Have Avoided This Battle]]: If Ash had mentioned he had a Mega-Evolution from the start...

** [[spoiler: With regards to actual Mega Stones, Charla loans him her Charizardite Y on important occasions, and Ash eventually acquired Charizardite X from Baron Alberto]].

* SquishyWizard: He shows traits of this. In the battles where he doesn't outright win, what eventually takes him and his projector down is, as he states, "blunt physical trauma".

* TheStoic: He doesn't talk much, even when he's in battle. To be fair, he ''is'' a Snorlax...

* NotQuiteFlight: At [[spoiler:Mawile's]] encouragement, he's trying to turn his Dragon Pulse into rocket propulsion, [[spoiler: as in canon.]]

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Like just about all other Fossil Pokémon.

* {{Homage}}: Said art is basically the ''Coup De Vitesse'' from HonorHarrington.

!![[spoiler:Mawile]]

* [[LikeASonToMe Like a Daughter to Me]]: Subverted. When she Mega Evolves, Ash notes that while it wouldn't be accurate to call her a daughter, she is a little like one. Not to mention the fact that she seems to be [[ParentalSubstitute deliberately modeling herself]] after Ash

* ManOfKryptonite: Why she's TheDreaded to Dragon types, she's not only a Fairy Type that's immune to poison, but she has an Ice type move as an Egg Move.
* NotQuiteFlight: [[spoiler: Uses Flamethrower in her Mega-Evolution as rocket propulsion.]] Her hobby is to think up ways for Ash's other Pokemon to use NotQuiteFlight.

!![[spoiler: Kari Burns (Honedge)]]

* ShoutOut: Kari Burns is a reference (or PunnyName) to Caliburn, the sword Myth/KingArthur had before {{Excalibur}} and which was pulled from the stone to prove his right of kingship. [[spoiler: Consider that Ash has used her before to produce Sacred Swords, which he learned from Kaldeo whose Sacred Sword is, per WordOfGod, based on Excalibur.]]

* ShoutOut: Kari Burns is a reference (or PunnyName) to Caliburn, an alternate name for the sword {{Excalibur}}.

* ForgotAboutTheirpowers: Dialga and Palkia once forgot that they could fly up a st of stairs.
* ManChild: Justified, they've been very recently created.

* OrnamentalWeapon: Gets a ceremonial, but non-functional sword when he is knighted for saving the Togepi Kingdom. [[spoiler: Subverted as it actually becomes his focus for Sacred/Secret Sword]].

** As of Chapter 238 the total is 46, counting the five Tauros individually. And he owns at least one Pokemon of seventeen out of the eighteen types (excluding only Ghost, in part due to never catching the Haunter he befriended in the original timeline and left with Sabrina; he did have a Sableye briefly, but caught it specifically to trade to Gary).

* NotQuiteFlight: [[spoiler: Uses Flamethrower in her Mega Evolution as rocket propulsion.]] Also tries to think up ways for Ash's other Pokemon to use NotQuiteFlight.

!![[spoiler: Kari Burns(Honedge)]]

* CoolSword: Was Ash's ceremonial sword from the Togepi Kingdom before his Aura awakened the sleeping sprit inside in Alamos Town.

* ShoutOut: Kari Burns is a reference to Caliburn, an alternate name for the sword {{Excalibur}}.
* UpliftedAnimal: Exposure to Ash's Aura awakened her spirit and fused it with his ceremonial sword.

!![[spoiler: Kari(Honedge)]]

* ActionGirl" Was a Knight before her human death, now she's a Honedge.
