A rewrite of the Kanto saga of the Pokémon Anime that follows Ari, an adventurous female Trainer from Pallet Town, with her partner Pokémon Eevee, and her friends, Misty and Brock.
RETURNING SOON
Compared to the original anime story, some events are moved around, some characters are cut, some completely new faces appear, backstories may be changed, and the wider Team Rocket Organisation becomes a FAR bigger deal, with Jessie, James, and Meowth being only a small part of Giovanni's grand plan. That's without mentioning some twists and additions to the lore that will turn Ari's Pokémon Journey on its head!
I also aimed to modernise the original saga with the inclusion of the Dark-, Steel-, and Fairy-types, Abilities, the ocassional modern move to make up for Gen 1's lacking pool, and even minor mechanic changes, such as Electric-types being immue to Paralysis and powder Moves having no effect on Grass-types. Major story deviations begin at Chapter Nine (A Cave Conspiracy).
Obviously, I do not own Pokémon, only original characters such as Ari. Images belong to the Anime or TCG.
Elizabeth Jackson is a bright, funny, and fearless 19-year-old trainer from Viridian City, determined to be stronger than anyone-including her best friend, Ash Ketchum. With a team full of skill and a legendary Raikou by her side, victory always seems to follow her. But Raikou isn't just her greatest strength-he's her oldest friend, her protector, and the one constant in a life where people often came and went.
Traveling alongside Ash, Misty, and Brock, Elizabeth has battled her way through gyms and challenges, always chasing the thrill of adventure. But there's one mystery she hasn't cracked yet: Team Rocket. She's heard the stories, seen the chaos they cause, but never once crossed paths with the infamous trio.
Curiosity, though, has a way of pulling her toward trouble. 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?
