[[ElsewhereFic It follows a set of original characters]] within the Pokémon universe, focused around three new fan-regions - "Askos" (ThePlace), "Fritho", and "Delwis". Each location has a brand-new set of characters, Fakemon, and [[SharedUniverse stories that all link back in to each other]], forming a cohesive narrative.

23	!! ''The Askosverse'' contains examples of:
24
25	* AerithAndBob: For example, there's ''Decibel''...and then there's ''Craig''.
26	* ApatheticCitizens: No matter what threat appears, the regular people of the world ignore it.
27	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Happens in both an in-universe sense and in the meta sense.
28	* CastFullOfGay: Most of the cast are not straight.
29	* CreatorsShowWithinAShow: Jaydreamer references several of their other projects with [[TheCameo cameos.]] Such as:
30	** ''Webcomic/RaywoodAcademy'' referenced with several background characters
31	** ''WebAnimation/CrystalDesires'', which is an in-universe show.
32	* DuelsDecideEverything: {{Subverted\|Trope}} due to Pandora, which contains zero Pokémon battles.
33	* HeelFaceTurn: This happens to most of the villains in the series.
34	* InternalHomage:
35	** Lavender is a [[TheRemake remake]] of Askos, so many things from the original are straight-up copy and pasted.
36	** To a lesser extent, Petunia also does this a few times.
37	%%* JumpingOnPoint: Lavender and Edelweiss are aiming to do this.
38	* OffscreenAfterlife: Souls exist, but there's no canonized afterlife. Heaven and Hell are ''hinted'' at, but never explicitly referenced in-universe.
39	* OfficialCouple:
40	** Larsa x Coral
41	** Trajan x Decibel
42	** Elara x Hayley
43	** Nina x Peter
44	** Basil x Clover
45	** Wyatt x Colton
46	* OneDegreeOfSeparation; Almost every important character is related to another, whether through them [[EveryoneIsRelated literally being related]] or through them [[ConnectedAllAlong just being friends]].
47	* OurSoulsAreDifferent: Most humans have a soul that persists after death - said souls are what allows someone to be [[BackFromTheDead brought back to life]].
48	** Related to this, people ''without'' souls can exist, and are [[TheStoic pretty much emotionless because of their lack of soul]].
49	* {{Prequel}}: Petunia is this to Askos/Lavender.
50	* SideStoryBonusArt:
51	** [[https://www.deviantart.com/charadreamer55/art/The-Dark-Prince-846852357 For Askos...]]
52	** [[https://www.deviantart.com/charadreamer55/art/2v2-Pokemon-Lavender-979472245 And from Lavender.]]
53	* SincerestFormOfFlattery: The idea for the Askosverse was inspired by other people who did similiar concepts[[note]]Source: Me (Jaydreamer. I'm the one writing all of this.)[[/note]] - namely, [[WebVideo/MrBuddy Mr Buddy and the Buddyverse]], and [[WebVideo/TheKaskadeRegion Lockstin's Lockemon]].
54	* TheMultiverse: In Pokemon, the multiverse is already canon. The Askosverse is just one universe amongst many others.
55	* TheRival:
56	** In Askos, this is Larsa.
57	** In Petunia, this is Nina and Peter.
58	** In Lavender, this is Larsa ''plus'' the addition of Hayley.
59	** In Edelweiss, this is Audrey and Isaac.
60	* TheStinger: A vast majority of the main entries contain a post-credits scene. Most of the time, it's a teaser for ''WebAnimation/ProjectPandora''.
61	* WhatIf: The entire premise of the AU is this, asking "What If [insert country here] was a Pokemon region?"
62	* WrittenByTheWinners: Happens several times, all in different contexts:
63	** In Lavender, [[spoiler:the existence of the region ''before'' Amurg, Zori, was made to be forgotten by the tyrannical King Blake [[note]]despite he himself being Zorian.[[/note]]]]
64	** In Petunia, [[spoiler: the ''entire region'' has a SuppressedHistory related to them being colonized by the Delwis region.]]
65	%%** In Edelweiss, Delwis would like to ignore the fact that they [[KickTheDog Kicked the Dog]].
