It's Always Sunny In Unova

Ash Ketchum has been champion for 8 years now. He achieved his dream, has everything he could ever want. But why does he feel like something's missing? Unbeknownst to him, a few of his friends believe they could be the ones to fill that hole in his life.

Dawn has been feeling like she's been getting nowhere, taking a not-so-glamorous job to make ends meet. Unfortunately she clashes with her new boss...her old frenemy, Paul, who's fighting some demons of his own.

Sawyer starts a new gig helping Harley manage a bar along with Ritchie. Only catch is it's a gay bar. But this shouldn't be a problem, it's not like he grew up with highly traditional parents and internalized homophobia or anything!

A chance encounter introduces Iris to Trip again after almost a decade. But he's changed, and she wants nothing to do with the douchebag playboy he's become. Or so he seems that way.

A spur of the moment vacay brings our Alolan friends to Kalos. It's safe to say that culture shock isn't the only new thing they're about to experience.

PS: the main ikarishipping part of this fic was moved to the spin-off work "I Hate Everyone But You" instead (same AU).
