More info and doodle for Spidey!Ash au
I don't really have a clear idea for the world building for this specific au, there was one point where I was even debating whether to put Pokemon in the story or not. As for how Ash got his powers in the first place, he was bitten by an Ariados (or Joltik, Im still debating) while defending his friends. What he didn't know was that the Pokemon had mutated Pokerus, which means the move was more dangerous or fatal to human beings. Said Pokemon was gentically altered by a mad scientist funded by a CEO from a certain company. Ash should be dead, but somehow he survived and the bite granted him an array of powers (He can even use some Bug type moves). So yeah, typical Spider-Man backstory but I have yet written what made Ash distinct from other spideypeeps.
And if it's not obvious enough, Serena is MJ. I don't want her to be reduced into just a love interest tho, she does have her moments than just being Spidey's girl. Why is she Mj? Well, because Satosere is my fav ship, that's all. The hardest part for me to cast was who could be Ash's Uncle Ben. Ngl, I almost chose Pikachu but ultimately scrapped it😅 It's either Delia or another character to teach him about responsibility. Do you guys like the idea of Hunter J being Kraven the Hunter? I think it fits but hey let me know if ya'll like it. I also have some idea for Kingpin but that can ve discussed if I have the time.
