Ash(ley) Ketchum, a new Trainer from Pallet Town, aims to become a world-famous Pokémon Master who travels with her starter Pokémon, Pikachu. However, her rival, Gary Oak, stands in her path and tries to belittle Ashley at every opportunity. Along with Misty, the Gym Leader of Cerulean City, who wants to become a Pokémon Master. And Brock, the former Gym Leader of Pewter City, who wishes to become a Pokémon Breeder, Ash travels around the Kanto region, while pursued by the Team Rocket Trio - Jessie, James, and Meowth.
(The Ash and Pikachu from my fanfiction are going to be females. And while I will stick to the storyline, some changes will be made. Especially for Ashley's character personality/development. For example, allowing Ash to capture Pokemon the male counterpart should have and shouldn't have been captured in the series. And Ashley to have Pokemon that I would like to have if they were real. Even though in certain cases, some Pokémon are classified as genderless, such as most Legendary Pokémon and all Mythical Pokémon. Regardless, in my story, the pokemon will have genders. None of them will be genderless. That includes some being born unisex like the Ditto and Rotom. I'm also going to evolve some of Ash's Pokemon in this fanfic that haven't evolved in the series.)
I found the image for the cover somewhere else. However, it turned out to be a Deviantart artwork from an artist LoulouVZ.
Ariel Waterflower is the youngest sister among her 4 older sisters, Misty, Lily, Violet and Daisy aka the Cerulean City Gym Leaders. While Misty is out on her Pokemon journey with her new friends Ash and Brock who Ariel's met a few times when her sister came to visit.
Ariel is left in the hands of her older sisters who she unfortunately doesn't have a good relationship with.
But because Ariel is also the baby, they think they can bully her around and treat her like a baby seeing as they want her to be a Pokemon gym leader and be strong like them, but Ariel doesn't want to be a gym leader, she wants to be a Pokemon Breeder who she actually got inspiration from her friend Brock because growing up she doesn't like to see other pokemon battle and fight each other, that just puts a weird feeling in Ariel that she doesn't like.
But her sisters just laugh in her face and force her to battle their Pokemon and make her 'weak' Pokemon stronger...Ariel doesn't like when Pokemon get hurt, she wants to become a Pokemon breeder and help Pokemon get better, feel better and be happier.
With both her mother and father being gone all the time, her mother left, she gave Ariel the Legendary Pokemon Suicune as a gift to protect her while they're gone. Her parents know that she's having a hard time so her mother gave her a Suicune to protect her and give her company.
Even though her sisters don't know she has a Suicune, Ariel is extra careful about making sure he's safe because once they know she has a Suicune, they will take it away with no doubt and use him for battles and that's not what Ariel wants...
Ariel just wishes Misty can come back and get her out of this living hell but she doesn't know how far she is or if she will even come to her rescue...and Ariel's scared to leave because if she gets caught she'll just get hurt...but let's see what awaits her in Cerulean City.
