Travels of the Trifecta is a Pokemon fanfic by Shinneth that focuses on the fanon theory that Frontier Brain Brandon is Reggie and Paul's father. It is set post episode 100 of the Japanese Pokemon Diamond and Pearl series. The story starts with Paul and Reggie receiving a letter from Brandon, and mostly follows Paul's Pokemon journey with Conway as a surprise traveling partner. It also focuses on Reggie's attempts to get back into Pokemon training along with developing his relationship with Maylene. This story follows the dub anime canon very closely and adapts several episodes while adding extra perspectives and explanations in some places that differ from the known anime canon.
