[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9103189/1/The-Ash-Connection The Ash Connection]] is a Pokémon Fanfic authored by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/682351/I-am-Lu I am Lu]], started and finished in 2013. A sequel, [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10678758/1/The-Ash-Connection-II-The-Rising The Ash Connection II: The Rising]], was completed on July 26th, 2016.

A string of violent attacks at the hands of a mysterious Pokémon has caught Lance and the G-Men off-guard. Little about the motive is clear, other than Ash Ketchum is somehow a factor. His friends and rivals now must confront an important question: Is he really the fabled Chosen One? The story contains multiple pairings, including Ash/Misty, May/Drew, and Gary/Leaf, and features an EnsembleCast, as does the sequel. Many ideas are taken from many facets of Pokemon canon, including the musical ''Theatre/PokemonLive'' implying Giovanni was Ash's father.
