What if by a twist of fate Ash was not the happy go lucky boy he was supposed to be? 
Living with a widowed mother, bullied by most of the other children and a strong will to become a Pokemon Master one day, changed him and he became the cold, serious and hard working young man he is today. This is the story of his adventures in Kanto with his arch-enemy Gary Oak and the girl who was crushing on him since...forever, Leaf Green.

With a trusty Ralts by his side he begins his grand adventure into the Kanto region not as the pathetically weak, loud and obnoxious trainer he was supposed to be, but as the serious, hard working and cold persona that listens to none and goes his own way. But the dark lurks in the corner as an old threat re-emerges...Team Rocket.

Can he stop the evil people threatening to destroy his homeland? Can he become the Pokemon Master he wills to be? Will he find the love of his life in his childhood friend?

This is a story to answer those questions...This is a story of the spirit of adventure...Of friends and rivalries...Of love and hate...Of happiness and sorrow...But most of all this is the story of your choices in life. This is about how a path you choose affects you.

"...In the end...It doesn't matter who you are or what you've become. What matters at the end of the day are the decisions you made...The paths you chose...The roads you walked and where that has led you...Now...As I stand upon the roof of my office...My extra cool champion cape fluttering in the wind behind cliché style *chuckle*...And look back at the choices I made...I feel regretful...Guilty. And yet...I walk ahead...I move on with a smile on the face...Because...I learnt from my mistakes...My shortcomings...And became better than I used to be...And now...I know what truly matters in the end is...
                             ...Going My Way..." 

- Ash Ketchum, 19 Year Old Pokemon Champion.

The Ketchum Family by Razor_Keyboard
63 parts Ongoing Mature
This is the story of what happens after Ash wins the Masters Tournament. All our heroes attend a celebration in honor of the new Monarch. What will happen when Ash and Serena finally reunite? Where will their paths lead next? How will their relationship change as they get older? Info: I have written this story to be very much like the anime. I try very hard to stay true to the characters and portray how I believe they would change as they grow older and gain life experience. All of my chapters are long and full of description, character development and worldbuilding. If you like fun, well thought-out stories with humor, drama, and action, you should like this work. Rating: PG-13 with moments of strong sexuality. There's no profanity or graphic sex. Any sex scenes are poetically written. Some of the romantic scenes are quite sensual, so be aware. As I said, I try to stay true to the anime and that means keeping 'dark' story elements to a relative minimum. There's plenty of intense Pokemon Action and some scary moments, but nothing that veers into gratuitous violence. As far as 'intimate' stuff goes, there are a few sex scenes but they are not gratuitous. I keep things poetic and beautiful, not smutty. That being said, at times, things will get very steamy and intense. As a general rule, if there's something edgy in a chapter I will put a small warning at the beginning. I'm not here to shock anyone. Additionally, as far as ages go, Ash and Serena's age (and any other characters of comparable age) should be considered to be 18 at the start of this story. A lot of time has passed since Ash started out on his journey and although, for now, he is a child at heart, he is actually an adult. Now that their journeys are ending and relationships are beginning, they will finally start experiencing more of what life has to offer. Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. This is a work in progress.
Our Promise, Our Future by JohtoAmour64
90 parts Complete
After winning the Kalos League and keeping their promise, Ash and Serena continue their journey together. From new regions, to new Pokemon, to new battles and new experiences. Whatever lies ahead, they don't know, but they will face it together. This is a sequel to my Our Promise one-shot (which you can read if you'd like for some extra exposition but it's not required). I kept looking over it and I saw more potential in it, but instead of going back to that story, I decided to keep it a one-shot and make the sequel a multi-chapter story. I don't know how many chapters I'll write, but I'll try to make it long enough to be considered a good read. I do know that I don't have an uploading schedule, so new chapters will most likely appear at random. I hope you'll all enjoy my first attempt at a multi-chapter Pokemon story. Fair warning though. This story will have swearing and some mature topics in it, so be prepared for stuff like that. So please enjoy reading Our Promise, Our Future! Lifespan: 12/30/21-10/27/23 1/19/22: 1k reads!!!!

Jamie gets to go to universe 788 because something from her past has gotten not only her attention but also the higher-ups, and Zero Squad's attention which has been a pain in the ass ever since she escaped hell for the second time, when she was 14 years old. Join her adventure as she helps Ash get all the gym badges in the Kanto and the Johto region, train his aura abilities (again), and lastly stop team rocket, and become the Pokémon champion of either the Kanto region and/or the Johto region. - Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon (both the game version and the anime) sadly, that belongs to Game Freak, Satoshi Tajiri, and lastly Nintendo. Things I do own: certain god fruits (and its tree) that'll appear in this series, the whole story plot for "the Aura User in the Poké Universe" series (in gens 5-7), and certain character's backstories in the whole XLR8verse ⚡️. - Thank you Ash and Pikachu for all of the adventures for 25 years of my childhood 😔 (I was born in 1999, but I watched reruns of gens 1 and 2), you'll be missed. - Years of this story: 1995-2002 (prologue arc), 2002 (Kanto), unknown as of right now (Johto) - Prologues arcs I've published: 4/5 (incomplete; struggling with the last prologue 🤣) XLR8verse vol. 2 chapters I've done: 19/146 (incomplete) Origins: 0/2 (planning phase) Vol. 2a chapters: 15.2-126 (special #1, Kanto 1-Johto 57) - Rated M: for mainly cussing and Brock and Jamie being two perverts or in Brock's case, a simp. - Started: 3/18/2024 (I actually published chapter 15.2 in March and edited chapters 16-18 in July of 2024 😅)
