#saphroneth

Ash is involved with enough craziness without resorting to villainy too (chp. 7)

Legendarily Popular 6 - Battle Frontier by Saphroneth (AO3) Pokemon – General #Alternate Universe #Legendary Pokemon #Ash has a lot of Pokemon by this point #He’s also come back to Kanto

Ash has returned to where he started.

Notable Kantonians ask “Isn’t it someone else’s turn” and “is the word Kantonian, Kantonese or Kantish”

Part 6 of the Legendarily Popular series (AO3)

Ash Ketchum, but from Saphroneth’s fic Accidental Apotheosis, where, upon taking the potion in the Johto arc that in canon turned him into a pikachu, Ash instead becomes into a pokemon that nobody recognises. And then it turns out he’s not turning back...

Anyway, we just wanted to draw Asheus and this also included trying to work out his saddlebags, which is a Concept, since Ash’s body shape is, as Arceus’s is, kinda weird in the torso region. Ended up with the final design using the Hoenn bag pattern (but have included two of our earlier versions from before we ended up staring at llama saddles for ages.) We figure with this design, the bags can be usually clipped open for ease of access, but closed if needed, for instance if it rains.

Pikachu is obviously present for the final piece, and his Unown from the fic is here too, represented as A (although I did contemplate ? form, or maybe doing a lowercase Alpha or something, but A is fitting enough and capital Alpha is pretty much, just the letter A)

Ooh, I love that genre! It enables exploring of a lot of bizarre, creative ideas, while really digging into the implications and side effects of them.

Professor Oak has developed a policy of Don’t Ask Follow Up Questions around Ash for his mental health (chp. 1)

Legendarily Popular 8 - Unova by Saphroneth (AO3) Pokemon – General #Alternate Universe #Legendary Pokemon #God Is My Smartphone

Ash is heading to Unova, along with what is at least a contender for the most eclectic Pokémon team in the universe.

There’s probably going to be some issues.

Part 8 of the Legendarily Popular series (AO3)

Lance has a logic problem with Ash’s team (chp. 19)

Legendarily Popular 5 - Hoenn by Saphroneth (AO3) Pokemon – General #Alternate Universe #Legendary Pokemon #Feel Sorry for Hoenn Please #May is not good at Pokemon background knowledge yet

Ash has moved on to Hoenn. They probably should have put an alert on the news.

Part 5 of the Legendarily Popular series (AO3)

Misty has opinions about Ash’s decisions (chp. 5)

Legendarily Popular 3 - Orange by Saphroneth (AO3) Pokemon – General #Alternate Universe #Legendary Pokemon #No Mew Here #Totally #Alas #The Orange Islands have not escaped Ash’s nonsense

After his first League, Ash is off to the Orange Islands to relax.

His idea of relaxing is a bit odd too though.

Part 3 of the Legendarily Popular series (AO3)

Brock doesn’t intend to foreshadow (chp. 10)

Legendarily Popular 2 - Kanto by Saphroneth (AO3) Pokemon – General #Alternate Universe #Legendary Pokemon #No Mew Here #Totally #Ash has no sense of scale #And the world conspires with him

Ash is a trainer now!

He’s off on his journey, and he’s out to do normal Pokémon trainer things.

Pity about how he has absolutely no basis for determining what normal is.
