Summary by the author: Time travel, based on the Anime. So, the world ended. That's bad news. Who best to get to fix it? Well, there is this guy with a track record in world saving... Not entirely serious. T rating may be overdoing it.
Synopsis on FanficRecs/PokemonGeneral: At some point during the [[PokemonBlackAndWhite Pokemon: Best Wishes season]], Cyrus succeeded in [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt remaking the world in his image]]. [[{{God}} Arceus]] did not like that very much, so he chose a champion to go back in time to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong.

--> '''Dexter''': Also, battles will almost invariably end in some improbable manifestation of power.
* BloodMagic: The secret to using ghost-type attacks while still alive and not getting fatigued.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: James' [[spoiler: Abra]], Misty's Psyduck and ''Arceus'' are guilty of this.
* BringMyBrownPants: ''Implied'' to have happen to Damian, the guy who Ash's Charizard used to belong to and abandoned him.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Ash tells [[spoiler: Riolu]] after he joins Ash that the time they saved him from Hunter J, he considered it a ''slow'' week.
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: The Sacred Ash from the first chapter.]]
* CurbStompBattle: Due to Ash being able to restore the memories, and power, and evolutionary level, of his pokemon, and that of his friends, [[FriendlyEnemy including Jessie, James and Meowth]] to whatever they were before Cyrus did his thing, they meet some people who they completely overpower.
** Early on, when Ash encountered the samurai guy who uses Bug-type pokemon a second time from his point of view, well, it is easy to guess how that went.
** When they did the Princess Tournament again, the early rounds, in the author's words, were one-sided.
* EvilVersusOblivion: The purpose of Rocket executives, or at least the department the [[spoiler: promoted]] Jessie, James, and Meowth are in. You can't rule or make a profit in a destroyed world, so ''somebody'' needs to point [[IdiotHero Idiot Heroes]] in the right direction to protect all those potential victims.
* FriendlyEnemy: Jessie, James and Meowth. After their memories got restored and Ash explained the situation to them of course.
* LampshadeHanging: Some of the sillier/weirder/crazier stuff that happened in the anime gets commented on by the characters.
* LargeHam: Ash's Squirtle, oh so very much. Same with Gary's Blastoise. Ash has this to say about his Squirtle:

** [[spoiler: Mewtwo]] lampshaded it asking if Gary's Blastoise was feeling well.
* {{Otaku}}: Ash's Squirtle, Gary's Blastoise and ''the entire'' Squirtle evolutionary family are all {{Otaku}} of one type or another.

* PeggySue: The basic premise of the story.
* SecretLegacy: In this story, Ash is actually a descendant of ''[[BadAss Sir Aaron]]'' through his father's side.
* SequenceBreaking: This has happened and probably will again.
** Ash goes to Cameran to free Aaron's Lucario and collect Aaron's equipment right after getting the Boulder Badge. Compare to the original timeline where he only went to Cameran after the Hoenn League during the Battle Frontier arc.
** Ash clashes with [[spoiler: Hunter J]] before he finishes the Kanto League, about the time he was supposed to get Muk. In the original timeline, Ash clashed with [[spoiler: Hunter J]] while in Sinnoh.
** Ash captures Muk ''way'' later than the original timeline, while helping that movie director, because he forgot about Muk due to the battle with [[spoiler: Hunter J]].
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: Ash was sent back in time to make sure Cyrus doesn't succeed in his second attempt to capture the Creation Trio.
* StatingTheSimpleSolution: Some characters point out to other characters very simple solutions to problems they had during the original timeline. Vague wording due to the fact that the relevant positions are sometimes switched around.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: The way Dexter denied that the three porygons have a silly nickname for themselves.
