[[WMG:Casey Snagem will become a mentor to Gary]]
He seems to be the most popular O.C in the universe so far, and seeing as he is most likely not Ash's father that is probably the only way he can show up again
* Casey Snaggem is not an O.C. He actually appeared in the Red/Blue era of the anime as Ash's friendly rival.
** That's Ritchie, or the Electabuzz baseball who is a ''girl''.

*** The author already confirmed via notes that Dawn is lost, but is not ''the'' Lost.




to:

** If Lysandre is not the Fallen, could it be Lusamine instead? She's the only other who could fit the bill for that, given her backstory.



*** Furthermore, said Haunter appeared in the Ghosts of Maiden's Peak Interlude along with his other friends.



[[WMG:Ash's father was able to seduce so many women [[PowerPerversionPotential because of his Bloodline]]]]
Considering how far he's spread his seed, it certainly seems likely he had a little "extra help".
* Chapter 26 strongly hints that this is the case, if Sabrina's words are an indication.
* Further reinforced by the Luana Gaiden. Whatever he did to her, he must have done the same to all those other women.

* A vision in the G-Men Gaiden seems to hint this is the case.

[[WMG:Sabrina has legitimate (not necessarily good) reasons to want Ash to be ruthless]]
She hates the Bloodline King, and as such, probably wants to undermine and spite him. She also told Ash a few things about his father, which will almost certainly put him on the road to conflict with the Bloodline King. So with that in mind, it seems rather likely that she's so adamant about getting Ash to shed his restraints at least partly because she thinks it'll help him oppose the Bloodline King, and possibly even bring him down.

*** Not really disproved, we saw no trace of any Haunter during the climatic confrontation, and as far as I can see she was never mentioned to own any Haunter in Reset officially.

* Ghetsis. Chapter 34 reveals that "G"'s backstory was changed, meaning he doesn't have to be a character from Orre canonically. He's nasty enough, has red eyes, and is very tall (6 foot 6 inches). [[spoiler:This of course means that the Bloodline Prince is N, which also fits. N hates humans but loves Pokemon, and one of the conflicts he has with the Bloodline King, who is "G" as revealed in chapter 34, is that the King also wants to cull Pokemon. This also explains why Hilda is working with N -- there's a lot of fanwork shipping N and Hilda.]]

[[WMG:Ash's father is a minion or ally of the Bloodline King]]
[=MissingNo=] ''did'' say that Ash wouldn't have a good relationship with his dad. And the Bloodline King ''does'' seem like he wants to increase the numbers of bloodliners. Maybe the Bloodline King sends Ash's father around to sleep with women with the "right" genes and produce more children with bloodlines.
* Chapter 26 seems to hint that this is the case, if Sabrina is to be believed.

[[WMG:Alternately, Ash's father is an enemy of the Bloodline King]]
And having a lot of children is part of his plan to defeat him.
* It could tie in with the above, thus making him TheStarscream.

to:

** Except the youngest one. He's confirmed to be the Bloodline King, and the Bloodline King is confirmed to be a canon character.



[[WMG:The Bloodline King's bloodline is...]]
* A Legendary Pokémon Species Bloodline. It would make sense for him to be incredibly powerful, considering his [[TheSocialDarwinist social Darwinist]] views and desire to rule the world.
** Jossed as of Chapter 24. There are no Legendary Pokémon Bloodlines.
* Maybe he's a Malamar Bloodliner?

[[WMG:Bloodliners can create Z-Crystals]]
Given that Frax and Velvet both seem to have managed to create crystals without origins, and how King Kahele is said to have made them and also lacks any blood descendants, it stands to reason.
* Ash has also had some interesting experiences with 'sand' in chapters 27 and 31 that support this idea...



[[WMG:The Future Battle for the Marsh Badge]]
* Sabrina will send a personal "invitation" to Ash to ensure he stops by Saffron City, perhaps by extortion (kidnapping Delia or one of his traveling companions?).
** It would be intriguing if [[spoiler:Anabel]] were her chosen hostage, to see if she could either sway [[spoiler:her fellow Psychic Bloodliner]] to her way of thinking or possibly train her. Considering Ash and co. will inevitably fight against her backer, the Bloodline King, it might seem counterproductive, but Sabrina's motives do not align with the man. She, like Giovanni, might consider using Ash against him. And it's not like the two strongest Kanto gym leaders haven't teamed up in Pokemon lore before.
** Partially confirmed in chapter 31. Except that she basically yanked Ash from his way to Cinnabar Island, and her chosen hostage is none other than Primeape.
* Ash's reward for the badge will be information on the man who has been manipulating everything from the shadows and, by extension, his father.



[[WMG:Ash's father IS the Bloodline King]]
The theory is out there, and it would help the author avoid having too many characters. Plus, it's a way for him to do the 'evil father' thing without Giovanni.
* Probably Jossed. The Bloodline King is someone Ash has seen before, and Ash doesn't even remember what his dad looks like, partially cause of canon, partially because he never met his dad in this timeline. Plus, the too many characters ship has already sailed.
* It's possible he met the guy in the old timeline, but didn't know he was his father. Heck it is even possible that Ash's father is different in each timeline. I think that might have been hinted at before, and if not it would explain some difference in how Ash looks and acts, such as his height and rage issues. In addition, one of the biggest observations here is that the Bloodline King is Ghetsis. One thing to note about Ghetsis....he's tall. Really tall. In fact the author even noted his height at one point being six foot six/seven, a fact Ghetsis is one of the few characters with a canonical listed height. Ash and his siblings are all quite tall, and that range of height was what Anna gave for Arnold's father. Plus let us not forget that several of Ash's siblings, the King, and Ghetsis all have red eyes.

Aster's been teased for a while, as has the idea of a truly evil Ash sibling who takes after their father's habits. Cross specifically mentioned that Ash has no siblings in the Draconids, but a niece wasn't covered. While Zinnia didn't recognize J. Archer and freak out over trauma, it is possible the sibling is more on the less visibly similar spectrum like Betty Snyder.

It could also explain her more aggressive behavior.

Eagun is a very old man, Rui's grandfather, and the village elder. While 50 year olds having grandchildren in their teens isn't uncommon, the fact he visibly looks his age unlike the brothers would imply he isn't one of them.

[[WMG:The reason there even is a [[BizarreBabyBoom Bloodliner Baby Boom]] is...]]
* Someone found Jirachi and made a wish for there to be more Bloodliners.
* Grings Kodai drawing power from the Time Ripple turned him and lots of others into Bloodliners. By the movie, Grings had done the deed twenty years ago. Since it's in Sinnoh, give or take a few years, Grings actions can easily coincide with the start of the boom.
* A Bloodliner has the power to turn non-Bloodliners into Bloodliners and has been using it.

[[WMG:The explanation of Dominion class powers]]
* They're what Legendary Pokemon can do. Dominion-class Bloodliners have the powers that are exclusive to legendary Pokemon. For example, Ash has Empowerment and Red has Victory Sight. It could be related to Victini's ability to guarantee victory. And Belladonna's power to force a person to speak the truth is based on Reshiram representing truth.
** Jossed as of Chapter 24. There are no Legendary Pokémon Bloodlines.
* With the above jossed, another possibility could be they are a manifestation of the users' "inner desires" so to speak. This can easily be seen with Ash, who is able to give his Pokémon [[SuperEmpowering temporary power boosts]] and wants to become strong enough to be a Pokémon Master as well as protect his friends, and Belladonna, who is able to force people to tell the truth and wants to learn the truth about her father and her origin.
** Except Red's Victory Sight is implied to have existed since he was a kid, and had to be told by his mother it was alright to use it, so I'm not sure it's something he wanted.
