History Fanfic / ChosenOnesAdventureWithLegendaries

* PowerStereotypeFlip: Absol are Pokémon who predict disasters and warn others of them, always one step ahead of everything and thoughtful in their actions (and would thus know that going against [[TheChosenOne Ash]] is a Very Bad Idea). So what is the Absol that [[GoldfishPoopGang the TRio]] capture like? A slow-witted, absent-minded, unobservant {{Ditz}}.

** While the story sometimes needles more questionable moments in the show caused by, say, production difficulties[[note]]Several episodes had to be pulled and shuffled around with the original show due to the Porygon Episode Seizure incident.[[/note]] or by weird aspects of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness for the franchise (like certain types or forms not existing), it outright retcons the episode about a boy who was raised by Kangaskahn because even Dialga thought it was so nonsensical, not to mention outright bonkers.[[note]]It involved parents dropping their kid out of a helicopter, trying to restore his human memories via a 2x4, and then kamikazing their helicopter into a Team Rocket Robot before joining the Kangaskhan herd.[[/note]]

* TeamRocketWins: Offscreen, but the [=TRio=] *do* manage to steand Marowak, who are then taken to the Celedon Game Corner... Where Ash and Company break them out.

* CanonWelding: The story combines the ''Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries'' anime storyline, the ''Anime/PokemonIChooseYou'' movie storyline and even the games. For example, Charmander's trainer is Cross instead of Damian, and Sorrel and Verity also join Ash, Misty and Brock for some legs of their journey.
** Chase and Elaine, the player characters of ''VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndLetsGoEevee'', are the other two Pallet Town trainers alongside Ash and Gary; Chase took the Charmander and Elaine the Bulbasaur. They cross paths with Ash every so often, though they don't join the chat. In addition, Chase is knocked out of the Indigo League by Trace, [[spoiler: Elaine beats Ash in the Indigo League semifinals, and the overall League Champion is the three-time conference winner, Green]].
** Ash runs into the new trainer Ethan when he enters Johto, who says he battled a red-haired trainer who just stole a Totodile off of Team Rocket (Silver in the games, though the group doesn't know his name). He also makes mention of his friends Kris and Lyra, saying that Professor Elm will need to find a new starter for Lyra.

* AscendedExtra: Sort of even though she doesn't appear on-screen as much; Misty brings the Dewgong that evolved during the episode "The Misty Mermaid" onto her team, in exchange for leaving Horsea, Goldeen and Staryu with her sisters to be taught Aqua Ring.

** When Ash wonders if he'll ever get his unruly Primeape under control, Celebi from the future pops in to say that he does, but asks him to pack a lot of tissues. The implication is that Primeape will be breaking Ash's nose a lot in the future, [[spoiler:but in the Orange Islands, where Ash finally manages to reason with Primeape like he did with Charizard in canon, he wins the battle against Luana with Primeape, during which a combination of a Hyper Beam flash and kicked up dust left everyone blinded and teary-eyed]].

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Or more accurately '''Forgot About ''Her'' Powers'''. In Chapter 72/Pikasode 1 (Kanga Games), [[pink:'''decibelDrama''']] (Mew), known for being able to learn every move, forgot she knew Ice Beam when the sled she was on was headed straight for a near freezing lake. She most likely was having too much fun and got caught up in the moment.

** The thing with Ivy and Brock is still there, but it's given a bit more context: apparently he was trying to cover Shaymin and their cousin, and his cover story was bad enough that he thinks Ivy will never want to speak to him again.

** When Ash fights Shingo, Moltres and Latias take a jab at the Gen 1 games because of the large number of bugs, the absence of Dark, Steel and Fairy Types and the fact Psychic Types are immune to Ghost Types in that game ([[HypocriticalHumor despite the fact Latias is a dual Dragon/Psychic Type and a hacker]]).

* WhatTheHellHero: When Ash loses his temper at his first loss at Vermillion Gym, [[spoiler: the Rainbow Wing in his bag becomes tainted with negative emotion. Instead of purifying the feather as per his duty, Marshadow decides to punish Ash for letting it happen by dropping him into a nightmare, prompting Darkrai to chew out Marshadow and pull Ash out.]]

* GilliganCut: As soon as the group reaches Murcott Island a.k.a. the bug-filled island, Misty latches on to Lapras and declares that there's no way Ash and Tracey are going to talk her onto the island. Guess what she's complaining about the very next segment.

** When Ash fights Shingo, Moltres and Latias take a jab at the Gen 1 games because of the large number of bugs and the fact Psychic Types are immune to Ghost Types in that game ([[HypocriticalHumor despite the fact Latias is a Psychic Type and a hacker]]).

* TakeThat: While the story sometimes needles more questionable moments in the show caused by, say, production difficulties[[note]]Several episodes had to be pulled and shuffled around with the original show due to the Porygon Episode Seizure incident.[[/note]] or by weird aspects of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness for the franchise (like certain types or forms not existing), it outright retcons the episode about a boy who was raised by Kangaskahn because even Dialga thought it was so nonsensical, not to mention outright bonkers.[[note]]It involved parents dropping their kid out of a helicopter, trying to restore his human memories via a 2x4, and then kamikazing their helicopter into a Team Rocket Robot before joining the Kangaskhan herd.[[/note]]

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: In "Antics" chapter 7, several people point out that Ash should have gone easier on Casey, an obviously rookie trainer who asked for "The strongest pokemon he had" for a battle. Ash fires back that first, she literally asked for it, second, he was on television and got top three in the Indigo Conference, meaning he's known internationally as being exceptionally strong, and third, while her pokemon were generally regarded as weaker types (sentret, hoothoot, chikorita), he's fought people who were able to do significantly more with less (namedropping the person who stomped Pikachu with a bellsprout) so he assumed that someone fighting strong pokemon with "weak" ones will have a plan.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In canon, Ash is mildly confused when he encounters an Evolution Party, but thinks about it a little. Here, he goes on such a rant against the brothers trying to pressure their younger brother into evolving his eevee that Misty is a little freaked out about it.

** When Ash wonders if he'll ever get his unruly Primeape under control, Celebi from the future pops in to say that he does, but asks him to pack a lot of tissues. The implication is that Primeape will be breaking Ash's nose a lot in the future, [[spoiler:but in the Orange Islands, where Ash finally manages to reason with Primeape like he did with Charizard in canon, he wins the battle against Luana with Primeape, during which a combination of a Hyper Beam flash and kicked up dust leaves everyone blinded and teary-eyed]].

* CommutingOnABus: Some of the Legendaries fade in and out of the story as it goes on. For example, at the time that [[green: '''grassrootsOptimism''']] (Shaymin) entered her winter hibernation, [[pink: '''tenaciousNova''']] (Latias) was finally unbanned from watching the Ketchum chat. Also, when Ash and Co. head to the Orange Islands, [[teal:'''crystallineSlush''']] (Suicune) and [[cinnamon:'''blazingGlory''']] (Entei) are left behind, while [[blue:'''tsunamiBeluga''']] (Kyogre) takes more of an interest in things.

* DeusExitMachina: In canon, Snorlax was unavailable for the Orange League finals against Drake because he overate and passed out. Here, he not only does that, but takes Charizard out as well by falling asleep ''on top of him''.

* CassandraTruth: Falkner tries to tell the other Johto Gym Leaders about how he was challenged by a trainer with an [[spoiler: Articuno]] and how the challenger managed to beat him without said [[spoiler: Articuno]]. Clair and Morty dismiss the claim as another Zoroark (with Clair implying [[NoodleIncident this happens before]]), but we, the readers, know that Falkner is right (the Trainer in question is Ash, who ''does'' have an [[spoiler: Articuno]]).

* AmbiguouslyRelated: [[spoiler:Ash and Lugia, all we know for certain is that Lugia has some sort of connection to Ash that he's scared of revealing and that Ash's father left at sea and never returned.]] [[spoiler:[[LukeIAmYourFather Not so ambiguous as of chapter 38.]]]]
