Ok Imagine, When The Class Talks About Type Match-ups.

Ok imagine, when the class talks about type match-ups.

Kukui: and that's about everything you need to know about Type Match-Ups.

Ash (drops from the ceiling despite not having been seen the entire day): And here's why it's all just a suggestion

I just read your ta! Ash tag and I’m just kshdoehpdheodhdohjsidudpdudpjdudofoofir this is so lovely!!! There’s so many cool ideas!!! Also that if Ash was a ta then, considering he dropped out of school to go on

Pokémon Journeys,

he probably has gone to a school for less total years than most of the kids in the class he’s ta for. This is just, incredibly funny to me, idk why.

Yeah, but like he also probably has the most experience and knowledge about the various regions a book can’t give anyone. He can talk in depth about certain gym leaders fighting style and other stuff that Kukui can’t teach.

So just imagine Kukui just sitting back as he lets Ash go feral on the class. Like no notes need to be taken, but can if the class wanted to, and it’s an open discussion. Ash is spitballing facts left and right while linking gym leaders to different regional Champions in some way the Professor has never even thought before.

Unknown battle strategies no one has seen in Alola and he’s somehow outsmarting Lillie and Sophocles because some of their facts the read about are outdated or just plain wrong. Because Ash has seen that Types aren’t all that. He’s seen impossible match ups over and over and the weaker side wining. He’s been on that side over and over again, coming out on top over and over.

Kukui can teach them all the things he can academically but street wise? Actual life lessons that can’t be pulled from a book that’s a required course in the school? That’s all Ash.

He brings such a large amount of knowledge that no one really stops to consider just how fucking useful it is. so what if none of the class leave Alola in their entire life span. At least they have something so invaluable that no other class will learn.

That’s what makes Ash so useful as a TA. He gives such an outside perspective and forces both the class and everyone around him to reevaluate their life and their own thought process over and over again. Chucking shit at them left and right and just opening their eyes past what’s just taught in Alola.

He’s even forcing Kukui to think outside of the box so often and it’s weird how teaching just comes naturally to him, albeit there has to be some translation because Ash can’t describe something’s all that well. 

Basically it boils down to Ash teaching everyone around him shit they just can’t learn in schools. Lessons that transgress bast books and homework and into real life. He’s basically taking teaching in general to a whole new level.

So when Kukui gets interested, or annoyed whatever floats your boat, with all of Ash’s little comments or facts during class. He lets Ash teach for the first time. Sitting at his desk and watching in growing awe as Ash shatters his students minds in the first five minutes and repeatedly doing so over and over again. Getting them involved with questions and debates as he flutters about the chalkboard with pictures he’s printed out just for this occasion.

all the fucking possibilities that the TA!Au are just so endless and in the palm of our hands.

It doesn’t help Ben have to be about Pokemon or battling. Ash can probably give detailed lessons over what wild herb or berry is okay to eat and how to do basic survival skills or extensive-ish lessons on bandaging wounds and how to heal. To use their surroundings outside of battle for living and just... be in a sense.

Just... I can’t explain in the right way with words how amazing this Au can be.

SciFi Au where the alters are AI implanted in Mike's brain like the Freelancer Program from RvB.

Fantasy Au where the alters are ghosts that Mike can channel.

Shrugs

Sick of AUs where people draw the alters with separate bodies and Svetlana, Mal, Chester, Vito, and/or Manitoba are white. Like??? There are dark-skinned and non-white Russians, Italians, and Australians why do you feel the need to make their skin lighter

Me, remembering I made a post comparing Louie to Josuke, whose father is older than the grandparent who helped raise him: Well then.

More major spoilers to Last Adventure!!

ha ha comedy

Me: working on a Ducktales AU where FOWL caused Della to be lost in space called the FOWL Play AU

Ducktales Finale: Bradford told Della about the Spear and kinda caused it.

Me: Well then

As an Amourshipper (Ash/Serena ship name) the ship is perfectly fine. The Fandom however is very much not.

ROUND 3 (RERUN)

In the previous iteration of this matchup, images were accidentally switched and were in the opposite order of the choices, which confused some people. To avoid skewing, I am rerunning this matchup.

Batman/The Joker VS Ash Ketchum/Serena (POKEMON)

Full Vessel

Give me a sitcom like series with the vestiges of OFA and they’re all act like a family

I would pay good money for that tbh
