Frequently Asked Questions: 

Q - What's special about this fanfiction?
A - The books have an architectured story, from mysteries to time travel. From being awfully childish to brutally mature. Also, the protagonist ages.

Q - Who are the Main Protagonists and the rivals? 
A - Red, a character from the Pokemon Video Games is the main protagonist along with his best friend Leaf. Whereas the character Blue (also known as Gary in the anime) is more of a frenemy than a rival. The main rivals would be Team Rocket Grunts - Cassidy and Butch as well as their Boss, Giovanni.

Q - Is this story based on Pokemon Red or FireRed?
A - The story has a few iconic moments from the games/manga but those events do not play a big part in the main story arc.

Q - Is Ash Ketchum in it?
A - The story takes place in its own universe. I try to bring some events from the games, the manga, and the anime. You get to see a different version of Ash Ketchum (close to how he has been depicted in the anime) in 2 chapters of this book.

Q - Is Team Rocket the same as in the anime?
A - While Cassidy and Butch are characters from the anime, they have a different overall character arc than in the anime. Team Rocket is darker than in any previous versions and has a purpose and a plan other than stealing. Giovanni's plan plays out slowly in the course of three books.

Q - It has time travel?
A - It does, time travel is hinted at in the first book with the actual "time traveling" in the second book.

Q - "I hope the protagonist has a father, hahaha"
A - Yes, he does. The character mostly appears in flashbacks but is an important character.

She doesn't even know who her mother is. Plus, her father is the biggest crime boss in the whole of Kanto: Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket. One day, the 18 year old is assigned an undercover mission in the Galar region; She is to infiltrate and worm her way into the system, and take down the Chairman's businesses from the inside. While Galar is in disarray, Gia must collect all the Wishing Stars she can and then return to the Kanto region. Special Ops. G has never failed a mission; never had her cover blown, never been caught, and never let her emotions lead her astray. But, when one Gym Leader gets suspicious of her identity, Gia's whole world gets turned upside down. But there's something else Gia doesn't know. A secret project only Giovanni and select Team Rocket scientists know about. A failed experiment to create a mutation of a trio of legendary Pokemon that failed 19 years ago. Something that could destroy the world if it were to be unleashed... (NOTE: This story is set post-game of Sword/Shield, but if Leon won the battle with the player.

"Over the years of evolution, the Charizard species lost its Dragon typing due to climate changes, lack of need and other factors etc." "A Pokemon evolves through battle. That is the nature of its evolution." "Anyone who dares to stand in my way. I shall pull them apart piece by piece. They shall eventually be the architects of their own destruction." Who says these dialogues? In what context and why? To get the answers to all the questions buzzing in your head, read the story. Interesting theories about Pokemon Evolution, Types etc. along with other things like battle tactics and strategies. Last but not least, it is an Amourshipping saga.

The story is then continued in book 2. An added bonus for Amourshippers.

After a Research and Development experiment accident, Giovanni gets de-aged and more doors are opened for him. And yet the first thing he chooses to do is harass Ash Ketchum. Ash is just WTF? Ah well, he'll coerce her to help take over the world with him somehow. Team Flare's a start. In the meantime, Giovanni learns (sort of) that faking marriages isn't that easy (of course Jessie, James, Meowth muck it up and he ends up married for real), discovers Ash has megalomaniac tendencies in line with his mindset, and traveling across Kalos was going to be one long, epic honeymoon. On the other hand, Ash happily usurps Team Rocket, makes minions kneel and cater to her whims, and conquers Kalos gyms with OP pokemon and learns that overkill is never a bad thing. So hello, Kalos! You've got the second coming of Bonnie and Clyde blazing a trail through the region, trolling the law and Flare morons, and causing general chaos in their wake with their pledge to raise hell. Fem!Ash/Giovanni, harassment of Team Flare, and makeovers abound. Crazy shenanigans included~ Full uncensored chapters available here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/3836353/chapters/8560168

And when Elizabeth finally meets Team Rocket face-to-face, she realizes the line between friend and foe isn't as clear as everyone told her. Especially when her heart starts leading her somewhere she never expected... Is it possible to fall for the enemy? Or will chasing danger mean losing everything she's fought to protect?

This is the second installment in the 'Pokémon Red' series. Red, a 10-year-old Pokémon Trainer, after rejecting the oppurtunity to become the Viridian City Gym Leader must continue his quest of becoming a Pokémon Master to the Johto Region. Here he will be met with similar challenges, mainly - Team Rocket. Frequently Asked Questions: Q - This book has a crossover? A - The book crosses over with @Bossun24 's Pokemon Leaf Chronicles for 6 chapters. The crossover had been planned 1 year prior to its publishing. Q - Why is Leaf replaced by Lyra? A - Leaf is not replaced by Lyra, both characters are different in their own ways. I wanted to get Leaf out of the picture for a different kind of character growth. Lyra is Red's cousin sister, with Red being an experienced trainer, he acts like a mentor to her. Q - So time travel happens in this one? A - It does, and its fun how it plays out. Q - Who is this Masked Man? There was a masked man in the manga too. A - While the idea was original, a mystery man who structures every Team Rocket plan and assists Giovanni. I was shocked to see that the manga had someone named "Masked Man" as well. Q - Who is this Masked Man? And why is he important? A - A mystery man controlling every aspect of a criminal organisation and has been the true mastermind of Giovanni's every plan? Sounds pretty important to me. As for his identity, I was very unsure if I was ever going to reveal it as it was not very important at first until the second book was coming to an end.
Pokémon: Red, Blue, and Leaf Version (Completed, Edited) by MysteriousMan246

What if Ash is a coma? This would explain why Ash and his friends don't age. If this is true, Ash's story could restart again and introduce characters that have not made an appearance yet in the anime. If they did, what would they be in Ash's life? This is a my dream Pokémon TV Series which will probably never happen. Summary: Red, Blue, and Leaf have been inseparable ever since they can remember. Now it's time for them to leave the town where they were raised and set out on their own to become Pokemon Trainers. After meeting with Professor Oak and getting their first Pokemon, Red's little brother, Ash Ketchum, fell into a coma. On their journey, the three trainers will battle against Gym Leaders, Team Rocket and a mysterious Pokemon. This is an alternative universe of Pokémon. It has every character from video games, anime, and manga. All your favorites will be there. What is the relationship between Red and Ash in your story? If Blue is in the story, what is his relationship with Gary? You mentioned Leaf is the story, who Ash's and Gary's third and what their relationship is? Red and Ash are reimagined as brothers and Red is the oldest. Also to add, Blue and Gary are reimagined as brothers too and Blue is the oldest. Green does and appear and is Ash's and Gary's third and she is reimagined as Leaf's sister. Leaf is also the oldest. Red, Blue, and Leaf are 14 years old and Ash, Gary, and Green are 10 years old. I do not own anything to Pokémon. Pokémon belongs to Nintendo, Gamefreak, and the Pokémon Company. Please do not copy.
The Champion Quest by GammaGoGamma

Summary: The World Championship Series have begun. Follow Ash as he goes through a new stretch of his journey where he will have to uncover the mystery behind the newly formed Neo Team Rocket and how is newly met companion ties with them. This is an AU in which Ash is not the same as the Ash we know from the anime. He hasn't traveled with his companions and he is mostly cold hearted. As such, he is more independent and significantly better at battling than he is in the anime. Furthermore, he essentially has the same Pokemon that he does in the anime. The only differences being that some of his Pokemon will be evolved, ie Gible will be a Garchomp in this story. This story is also a furthershipping story. This is my first story so I apologize if it is cringe. Also, yeah the cover photo sucks LOL. Any and all criticism is appreciated. DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN POKEMON AND ALL ART/IMAGES USED ARE OWNED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE ARTIST.
