This is a good thought on writing Pokemon fanfics.
The whole “ash betrayed” fic gimmick but its executed differently?
Everyone opposes against ash’s pursuit of becoming a pokemon master, and instead of ash yelling back, his response is basically like “look if this is how you all really feel then just don’t fuck with me anymore simple”
the group of people who’re on ash’s side of the whole situation are bonnie (i personally feel like badgering a child to backstab a person they’re mutually close to is really fucked up), tracey, brock, lillie, lana, sophocles, gary, kiawe, mallow, dawn (imo ash and dawn were the closest out of all of ash’s female travelling companions and i just love how wholesome their chemistry is) pikachu and all of ash’s pokemon
ash goes on about his life after the “betrayal” and goes on another journey as always, he won’t travel with them but still is regularly in contact with his real friends. He doesn’t make new friends along ther way because he’s more or less wary of them in light of what happened to him earlier (as in he feels that he shouldn’t easily/intially have faith in many people as of now)
also ash won’t be dating anyone, tbh i feel like ash is too young for relationships and the consideration of ash being in a relationship with any female character/having a harem is too overused. The whole idea of ash having a harem feels like unrequited love/makes him look like a “douchey” gary stu at best and i dislike that a lot. plus the whole bumper crop of unneccesary smut scenes pretty much every 2.4 seconds takes up so much time
the “traitors” will eventually feel some semblance of remorse for turning against ash, but that’s mainly because they only miss the benefit of having ash around for the sake of getting the certain services they usually receive from him, this is more pronounced on serena (because her decision pretty much destroyed her chances of getting closer to ash) and delia (probably stemming from her empty nest syndrome). clemont is practically the only one who carries guilt for ending his friendship with ash. He actively wants to come to an understanding with him over it but later realise that he actually can’t knwoign that ash doesn’t want anything to do with him anymore.
idk i used to be so hooked on ash betrayal fics since like 2017-2018 but now certain ones make me cringe a lot
