Austin, a die-hard Pokémon fan, is disenchanted with the series' direction post-Sinnoh. After a typical late-night binge-watch, he drifts off to sleep, only to wake up in an unimaginable reality: he is Ash Ketchum, and today is the morning his legen...

Nobunaga walked into the Pokémon Center, his mind set on the next steps of his Pokémon journey. But first, he had a different task to attend to. Approaching the counter, he addressed a weary-looking intern who seemed to be barely keeping his eyes open.
"Excuse me, where is the communication room?"
The intern, too tired to muster more than a basic response, merely yawned and pointed towards a door on the far side of the room. Nobunaga noted the direction with a nod of thanks.
"Can you also check if my Pokémon are, okay?"
The intern watched as Nobunaga walked away, then turned his attention back to the Pokéballs laid out before him. He picked them up, his movements sluggish, his mind wandering to his mother's words when he had chosen this career path. "Go be a medical professional, it will be good," she had said, "it will bring respect to the household." The intern scoffed quietly to himself, muttering under his breath, "My ass."
Despite his grumblings, the intern started the process of checking the health of the Pokémon. His hands, though tired, were practiced and precise as he placed each Pokéball into the healing machine. The soft hum and glow of the machine brought a brief respite to his weariness, reminding him of the importance of his job—even if the respect he'd been promised felt far away at moments like these.

Nobunaga wasn't expecting the voice of a teenage girl to greet him when he dialed Gary's number.
"E-Excuse me, but can I talk to Gary?"
"Oh, like, totally, he's caught up in a Gym Battle against Brock right now, so what's the 411?" the girl replied, her tone casual. She introduced herself as Amanda.
"Well, once Gary is done, tell him I want to talk."
"Hey, girlfriend, who ya gabbing with?" Another girl suddenly flashed onto the screen, leaning into view with a playful smirk. "Oh snap, I thought it was your main squeeze," she teased, giggling.
Nobunaga's cheeks turned a shade of pink at those words.
"Jessica!" Amanda chided, nudging her friend aside with her elbow. The screen wobbled as she adjusted it back to focus on herself. Nobunaga remembered seeing this group of girls with Gary when they had battled.
"Hey, why are you hanging with Gary?"
"Oh, we're hitting up his concert in Cerulean City, and Gary was all stoked to cover our trip if we played his cheerleaders and entourage."
"What about the car?"
"That's our wheels. You don't seriously think we'd let a ten-year-old drive, do ya?" Amanda laughed.
"But you're cool just mooching off him?"
"Hey, he was all about having these babes on board," Amanda shot back, moving the camera to show five gorgeous girls striking poses. The sounds of a Pokémon battle played in the background. "To make everyone wicked jealous."
