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...

Night had enveloped Pewter City in its quiet embrace as Austin found himself in the communication room, eagerly awaiting a response from the other end of the line. The screen flickered to life, revealing a weary-looking Professor Oak.

"Professor, you need some sleep."
"It's nothing, my boy. I was just reviewing my student's dissertation for his doctoral approval," Oak replied, attempting to dismiss his fatigue with a wave of his hand.

"Yes, I wanted to ask if you could tell me how I can teach my Pokémon Iron Tail and Steel Wing," Austin got straight to the point, his fingers nervously tapping on the tabletop.

"I am not sure what that is."
"Do you know what Instinctive moves are?" Oak shifted in his chair, leaning toward the screen.
Austin nodded.
"Now, how does one unlock them?"
"Battle."

Austin's eyes widened as he remembered how Spearow unlocked Assurance. It was the ideal move, considering that Spearow was battle-damaged and, since this world didn't have levels, unlocking new moves through this ideal response made sense.
