sadly, Ash will never grow up in Pokemon (at least at this point, he still hasn't), he'll remain 10 years old for all eternity, at least it seems like that.

Honestly, this comes off as resetting Ash and his Pokemon like the anime does. From what we clean of the leagues, there are a tiny handful of trainers in their entire world capable of going toe to toe with Ash. That's *with* the anime endlessly erasing his and his Pokemon's progress. And now we have an Ash who spent five years training experiencing essentially the same thing again similar to the league battles of the Pokemon anime. What was the point of the time he was gone, then? His Pikachu alone has defeated at least one legendary before being reset yet again by the idiotic studio. And that was when Ash could still be reasonably be called a beginner.

Soooo...what you're saying is that there is no point in pursuing Misty because she obviously has no problem handing out intimacy to people she doesn't love. That is a bad sign for a potential life partner. I know it's "normal" these days to go around kissing boyfriends or whatever, but that doesn't mean my point is less valid. It means that they do not value intimacy and bonds with their partners beyond physical gratification.

An action only has value if it is treated as valuable.

Still here, still waiting on more of your glorious story... Hope your okay.

I think author forgot to put drama in genre as this focuses more on drama rather than traditional adventure and battles.
Sort of mislead by reading the summary.

This seems too heavily focused on drama... and not the kind of drama I like. If it were Ash and Misty together, working through issues and disagreements sure. But it’s about Misty having sex with this ponce and assaulting Ash without even bothering to ask WHY he left. I don’t like Misty in this. I don’t want Ash to touch any woman Nigel has touched because they‘re bound to not only be braindead, but contaminated. Meanwhile, everyone is acting like he and Misty are already planning to get together while ALSO saying May wants him. Oh, and Gary’s sister keeps flirting with him.

Yeah, I don’t like anything about this story.

What the fuck was this chapter? Why would you have Ash get raped? Completely ruined the story in a single chapter. Absolute dogshit.

Highly doubt you would come back after 2 years, but if for some reason you do PLEASE continue updating this story!

If you ever decide to change ir add things to this story I thin you should include Veronica and Ash at least making out. It would be great

Please finish ash and misty need a happy ending. I want ash to tell misty about the small house next to the gym. I think that they should make amends with jessie, james and meowth. I think that ashs dad should make a sudden reappearance (you know as a twist). We should see daisy's kids.

Please update this story

Please continue writing, great world building

you are dropping a lot of hints that Daisy is pregnant wonder what everyone's reaction will be

he's gotta go sell some insurance

hmmmm who can I think of that sells bottle caps at tournaments, or who speaks like that
