Added stuff; also edited the \"Violently Protective Boyfriend\" addition because it\'s a red link and the wording was ... I don\'t know, crude, I guess, and to me it seemed sort of out of place.


** The author's explanation for Ash's occasional feats of inhuman strength. Ash doesn't know how strong humans are supposed to be, so he semi-arbitrarily decided they're as strong as Machamp, and adjusted his human form to match. HilarityEnsues.

* BattleCouple: Ash and Laura (or rather [[spoiler:Latias]]). Also Tamamo and Gaheris ([[spoiler:Delia]] and [[spoiler:Cynthia's Lucario]], respectively), back in the days.



* BigDamnHeroes: Zekrom, a few times, due to [[StalkerWithoutACrush stalking]] Ash and party after the business with Ghetsis was done (see the DeusExMachina entry for an example). By now it's something of a RunningGag.

!!This work includes examples of:
*AchievementsInIgnorance: The author's explanation for Ash's occasional feats of inhuman strength. Ash doesn't know how strong humans are supposed to be, so he semi-arbitrarily decided they're as strong as Machamp, and adjusted his human form to match. HilarityEnsues.
* DarkIsNotEvil:
** Dark Type Pokémon (like Ash) are not depicted as any more evil than other Pokémon types. In fact, Ash's personality is almost exactly the same as his canon anime counterpart.
** Ash's mother (the same breed as Ash) worked hand in hand with Cynthia's team to stop regional gangs before she had Ash's egg.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: [[spoiler: Ash and Latias.]] They're clearly smitten with one another, though neither of them has sufficient relationship knowledge to actually notice for quite some time. Everyone else considers it blindingly obvious.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Ash falls out of a boat. Brock has to rescue him because Ash forgot that he could shapeshift into something that can swim.
* HiddenInPlainSight: Ash is such a good ninja that he's a bad ninja.
* InterspeciesRomance: Predictably, his mother is a Zorark, his father is a Lucario. [[spoiler: Specifically, he is Cynthia's Lucario.]]
* {{Kitsune}}: Zorua and Zoroark are shapeshifting fox Pokemon of course, and Ash and Delia are frequently referred to as "kitsune" in the text.
* MamaBear: This version of Delia snaps out of the Unown's hypnosis on her own and then proceeds to kick Entei's ass when Ash finally shows up and decides she needs to fix everything herself. She also posed as a human for ten years to keep Ash safe from Hunter J, and [[spoiler: when J threatened him again she outright murdered her.]]
* MythologyGag: Ash and Gary used to play hide and seek all the time, but Ash could smell where Gary was. This leads to Gary using Blue's infamous CatchPhrase from ''Videogame/PokemonRedAndBlue''.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Ash is such a good ninja that he's a bad ninja.
* OpenSecret: Almost every one of Ash's companions find out his secret. Some in relatively short order.
* PowerLimiter: Ash's enchanted Ring Target not only locks him in human form, it suppresses his immunity to psychic attacks. After Mewtwo's first attack makes him drop it he completely {{No Sell}}s the rest of the assault.
* ShapeshifterBaggage: In one snippet where Pidgeotto has to carry him it's noted that Ash's human form weighs considerably more than his twelve-kilo fox form.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Ash without his Ring Target can transform into a variety of Pokemon.
* WeirdnessMagnet: This is Ash, what were you expecting? {{Lampshaded}} by the Riolu Ash rescues when they reach the Lucario Kingdom.
