Letting an AI Rewrite Ash Ketchum's Johto Journey

There were a lot of requests for a sequel to the original AI video so I thought we better resuscitate Ash Ketchum and get back to work. There was a lot of positive feedback on the first video so thank you so much for that! I hope you enjoy this one too!

[@warlordofbritannia]

My theory is that Ash's adventures and traumatic experiences have caused his psyche to crack, and Lucian and Will and Proud are manifestations of his guilt: Lucian, for example, represents vengeance and justice for Ash's many crimes Will is the good step-son Ash could have been, or perhaps just a better version of himself Proud represents the guilt Ash feels at never being able to say good-bye to his dad, which leads to him creating a whole narrative about how his dad was a murderer and never loved him to cope with the loss And Delia is the part of him trying to find understanding and peace When Ash washes up on the shore at the end, it symbolizes the rejection of guilt and acceptance of his own horrible self, previously foreshadowed by the re-disappearance of Delia earlier in the plot

That part with the fight against Lucian actually makes sense, imo - Lucian captured Ash in a Pokéball while he was in the sea, causing the ball to submerge whilst Ash had a hallucination due to the pressure in which he had to fight against Lucian who served as a symbol of Ash struggling to escape the Pokéball he was trapped in, with him killing Lucian at the end and the ball opening at a beach suggesting that he succeeded in breaking out of the ball and was washed up ashore.

The Rosalyn battle was.. actually incredibly compelling from a psychological/horror standpoint. The actual substance of the battle didn’t matter. It was all about her and ash and how the interact. If I may, Here’s the vibe I got: Rosalyn, “incomplete” and eternally suffering from her origins as a mewtwo-like science project gone horrible, turns to helping people as her outlet. She adopts the superhero lifestyle and earns a place as a gym leader out of respect, and maybe some fear. She still doesn’t feel whole. She’s missing something, some human feeling or thought locked away see within her that the experiments which brought her sentience could never dredge up. She battles countless people as a gym leader, and saves many more. She crushes team rocket to protect her people. Is that it? A protective sort of paternal emotion? She carries an egg with her. As part of her battles, the opposing trainer must hold it. It senses something about them, something it can’t find in her. She’s had it for years but it never hatches. Until the battle with ash. His stubbornness, his ruthlessness and complete disregard for the constant tragedies that befall him… something about him. The egg cracks. Rosalyn, distracted, experiences her first gym battle loss. Ash wins. Ash wins. Ash wins. Because Rosalyn was incomplete. The egg opens. Nothing is inside. Rosalyn is resilient. She can cope. She can learn from loss and put the pain behind her. Not just the pain from loss, but the pain from creation. The pain that has haunted her entire sapient life. Rosalyn is complete. She lost the battle, but she gained her humanity. Rosalyn wins.

The ending was foreshadowed in season one. Remember when Jesse the Pidgeotto and the Pewter Gym leader's (forgot who) Umbreon became the Pokemon of their dreams? Umbreon became a shadow with red eyes, just like Gengar in the cave. Of course you can't kill a ghost. It's Giovanni's Gengar who's returned to avenge his trainer. Lucian's Alakazam foresaw Giovanni's death, and together they located the resurrected Gengar. They must stop Ash before he murders again.

[@castform7]

So the Johto regions Gym Badges are: - The Nibelung Badge from Prof. Norman also known as Prof. P00p - The Badge Badge from Drayden - The Equivalency Standard badge from Rosalyn the pink Psychic Hydreigon - The Badge of Precedence from Judge who poeticly makes his weakness his strength - The Fire Badge from Cassandra the Coal Fisher - The Badge of Excellent Victory from his not deceased mother Delia - The Champion Badge from his new friend Bonnie Jackson - The Rare Badge from Drake the kidnapper/water wildlife rescue team member

Ash has to be a pokemon. In this journey we learned of the Drayden Experiment which created a bunch of super pokemon like Rosalyn. What if Ash is the end product or a closer success than Rosalyn. Maybe the Drayden Experiment wanted to create not super pokemon, but super humans with pokemon dna. This explains why Ash has been able to survive countless injuries as well as why he is so battle ready. From the main series Mewtwo was also battle ready, so Ash being similar to Mewtwo could explain his behavior and abilities. Plus he was inside a pokeball giving more precedent.

[@thewisthersgames]

And in the top of all things, that would explain why Ash doesn't ages

So is Rosalyn a Psychic instead of Dark Hydreigon varient. Draydens a dragon trainer so I guess he created a human-level pokemon that wants to "catch them all." But then she wanted to hatch them all?

[@rueblie2627]

The story of Ash’s family is very simple. It turns out that Proud Ketchum attacked Delia and Professor Elm, hiding their bodies in a cottage and hiding out there himself faking his death feeling guilty for it and for hurting Ash. However Delia mysteriously escapes and meets Ash who decides to confront Proud, Delia initially doesn’t want to return but is convinced. Will knew of these events and led Ash to the attic where Proud had been hiding, revealing he had already killed Proud in revenge for his crimes and that it hadn’t been the real Proud but simply an imposter and the real Proud had been dead the whole time, having been killed by the imposter in the woods. Ash forgave Proud knowing in the end he truly loved them. Will reveals that he is in fact Ash’s real father, the real Proud Ketchum revealing he had changed both his and Ash’s names to protect them, presumably from the imposter Proud who eventually found them. This means that Will and Delia were in fact ghosts, so Delia’s ghost went to become a gym leader and Will is going to find Ash’s wife and son to make things right Absolutely beautiful story, I can’t believe you didn’t get it

[@rocketmanthemovie4554]

[@UltraAryan10]

I feel like a lot of stories can be made depending on how you interpret it. Also don't forget Ash's adoptive mother from Season 1. My head canon is that Proud is actually not dead and is his adoptive farther (Proud Bloom) as the surname was never revealed. Ash's real father Will Ketchum (who he has never seen before) and mother Delia Ketchum are presumed dead by Ash in Season 1 but they somehow return alive/dead in Season 2.

this is so hilarious, it's so much weirder than the first one... even the gym leader names aren't actual names in this one compared to the first episode where it used real gym leaders. also, I like how the AI sometimes really sounds like certain kinds of websites. like, when it mentions dareon, it also mentions its japanese name like it's bulbapedia or some other information website. or, in other parts, it really sounds like a plot synopsis you'd find online, or like a review or people discussing an episode online (like the fight between ash and evil brock or the violet city gym). you can really tell what kinds of text the AI must have been fed to come up with this.

Wow. Just incredible. The Cabin Exorcism Arc is one I don’t see many people talk about nowadays, but to see it covered in such detail here is something on a whole other level. I’d love to take a moment to enthuse about it myself - and explore what it really means, since I’m obviously in the presence of such cultured individuals. I’m pretty sure (and you can trust me on this, I’m a Pokémon Master), that Delia was dead all along, and existed as a ghost gym leader. Seeing that Ash had been revived after his unfortunate prison murder, he exists in limbo, and is therefore able to see his mom and assist her in her final request - to solve her murder. They go to the cabin where the bodies of Delia, Proud, and the murderer’s other victims are. Using his link between the two planes, Ash soon receives assistance from a psychic, Will, who keeps him tethered to the real world. At the cabin, they discover that his father was the murderer - but harbored a deep love for his son, and not only that, but there was also a third man involved. How, you may ask? Ditto. It’s the only logical explanation. After finding out a man posing as his father killed his parents and Professor Elm, Ash was finally able to relay the truth to Will, putting Delia at rest and letting her give Ash the badge as her and Proud Ketchum spend their afterlife in the cabin they now call home. As they leave, Will tells Ash that he knows that his father loves him and always will - and Ash, through his spiritual journey and reaffirmation, realizes that Will was his father who was separated from his family at birth. After all, a Pokémon protagonist’s father is never around. With the affirmation from his deceased family and his biological father, as well as this spiritual journey into his own death, Ash can finally rest himself, in the only way he knows how - battling and becoming a Pokémon Master. Of course, this is all just my professional opinion. I’d be glad to discuss my findings, as a certified Pokémon Master, if need be.

[@DakotaofRaptors]

I truly believe that it's working on visual metaphor more than anything else: Will was Ash's dad, and he "killed himself" when he killed his wife, likely representing feelings of guilt and self-hatred.

As for the part with Dehli, my understanding is that she died and was revived when Ash went to the Afterlife to check on her? So maybe Ash’s death in the first part caused her soul to be repossessed or something and Will is Ash’s dad in a new body??? Can’t wait for Nick Cage to meet May!

These are great. We need Hoenn next! Just for fun I typed in the same starting paragraph you used and let it run for a while: Three minutes after being pronounced dead from his wounds, Ash Ketchum was resuscitated by Maya. Thanks to a loophole in Kanto Region laws, he was deemed to have served his death sentence. Upon his release, Officer Jenny informed him that it was in his best interest to leave Kanto and never return. So, with all of his Pokémon seized by the police and nothing left for him in Kanto, Ash boarded a ship headed for Olivine City in Johto. It was on that same ship that he met a girl named Misty, a talented water trainer who rescued Ash from drowning and inspired him to be the very best he could be. Thus, Team Rocket began, with Ash being their first and only member. Ash quickly gained the nickname “Rocket Ash” due to his unorthodox training methods, but his desire to one day make his trainer proud and leave Johto as a Pokémon Master was very real. Little did he know that Johto had a plan of its own. The Johto Riddle Spoiler: At a time when Team Rocket could barely keep themselves out of prison, the city of Sootopolis offered them its entire police force. If they would capture the Pokémon League, they would keep the entire city under control and the Pokémon League would never be harmed again. The solution didn’t sit well with the general public, so Team Rocket and the city’s police force came to a compromise. Team Rocket would capture all eight gym leaders, making them part of Team Rocket, and then they would allow the Pokémon League to set up shop in their offices at the Pokémon Center. Once the Pokémon League set up shop, Team Rocket would set their sights on capturing the eight league’s final gym leader, a then-unknown champion named Morty. The two teams then made plans for the Great Rocket Chase. The Rockets captured all eight gym leaders in record time. But as with every plan in Team Rocket’s arsenal, it would soon come to an end. The Great Rocket Chase reached its climax at the area around Mt. Moon, when Ash and Morty battled for the first time. This began Ash’s career as the Chosen One of Pokémon, and soon Team Rocket realized their plan was blown. After the Great Rocket Chase was over, Morty was eventually revealed to be none other than an undercover team of heroes, The Heroes of Unova. To make sure the information never got out, Morty gave up the whole story, and his identity was never revealed again. This event marked the start of the Unova legend, and the birth of another generation of Pokémon trainers, such as Gary Oak and Misty. This event was so big, in fact, that Team Rocket couldn’t escape it forever. The Rivalry Continues Spoiler: Although the teams of Ash, Misty, Brock, and Cerise fought for years to a draw, the love triangle continued to grow. And grow. And grow. At first it was just the two guys, but it soon spread to the women of the Pokémon world. The only team to emerge as victor from the ensuing decades-long war was Team Rocket, as they managed to kidnap Brock at one point. There were many attempts to create a break in Team Rocket’s hold on Kanto. One such attempt saw Ash himself coming out of retirement, and attempting to rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket. Although he managed to capture all but one of Team Rocket, he was able to be captured himself at the end of the game, and his story would never be told again. However, as Team Rocket grew increasingly more and more desperate to get their hands on the one thing that mattered to them more than anything else in the world, they began to take drastic measures. The most drastic of which was attempting to destroy the world. After spending hundreds of years traveling the world with Ash, only to fall short time after time, Giovanni was not going to take this defeat lying down. When he finally returned to his time period in 2011, he used his great power to alter the world, making it a literal wasteland where there was no Pokémon or humanity. Giovanni’s plan worked. Humans and Pokémon were all dead, and as such, the leader of Team Rocket, James, was not only the strongest and most powerful of Team Rocket, he was now the most powerful being on Earth. And he wasn’t the only one. Through the use of the Psycho Power, Team Rocket had a system in place to produce more Psycho Sprites. Team Rocket would use their power to protect the Pokémon world and allow it to survive the catastrophic events that had recently befallen it. The Power of Evil Spoiler: The great war ended, and Team Rocket was once again one of the most powerful forces on the planet. But the power they once had was gone. Not only that, but they couldn’t even come close to getting what they wanted. Yes, many of Team Rocket’s plans were successful, but none of them were of the consequence that mattered most. After James would try to destroy the world again and again, even regaining the power of Giovanni from his time machine, Team Rocket seemed to realize that their most powerful weapon was also their greatest weakness. The idea of a world without Pokémon. It was their greatest dream, and their greatest nightmare. After he eventually learned to control the power of the Psycho Sprites, James realized that his dream was no longer about the world being “clean.” It was about the world being united. Team Rocket had the power to bring everyone together, and without Pokémon, humans and Pokémon could make a great alliance to fight and be victorious. Team Rocket’s plan would change the world forever. The Secret Society of Rocket Spoiler: Following Team Rocket’s victory, they began to become more and more involved in local politics, trying to unite the human race. Their first steps were small, but their intentions remained the same. Team Rocket’s first objective was to unify the world with one great country, just like the USA. With the help of Darkrai, they managed to gain control over almost every country in the world. This greatly angered the United States government, who took action and had Darkrai arrested.

It does hurt to lose Stealth Rock on Smeargle, but Spinarak Spin is so meta-defining that you have to upgrade to Wavedash. I just don't see how Smeargle could be competively viable without doing so.

Did Brock.....have a whole heart to heart with Ash and a positive character arc....in like 2 minutes.

[@Crystantemum]

So, what I'm understanding, is that Ash's mom was a ghost and she confronted Ash in that moment. Upon asking "how are you alive?" Ash was transported to another world where he found out a few things. Will is his brother, and they were both given away. So Delia was never Ash's mother and his "real father" was the man in the sheets. So whoever killed Delia and Ash's Dad in the last one was Ash's real father and afterward he laid himself to rest in the sheets of Ash's real mother's bed. I guess Ash's real father was a mass murderer but felt remorseful after killing Ash's new family. Now Delia lives on as a ghost gym leader in Johto

[@catriamflockentanz]

"we better _resuscitate_ Ash Ketchum" It's more of a Ressurection in my book, but it's probably better to don't associate Ash with the Messias or the people in charge may think we like him... 4:41 Given the "pulling out a large sword from its belly"-part there probably is also some Dewott in it somewhere too. 5:15 Wait "Nibelung"? Like the treasure Siegfried sunk in the Rhine in the epos? 8:43 "As far as Ash knows, the only Pokémon that can fly is Flygon," That sounds to be in character, stupid enough. 11:25 In all honesty: Another breed of Cows as a Regional Form of Miltank would make a lot of sense. Galloways are black for example. Granted, we just had a Great Britain-inspired region so that's maybe not the best example to give. 12:22 It honestly feels like Rosalyn saw herself losing so she left to alter the story from behind the scenes using one of her superpowers. The Narrator was having none of this and reiterated several times that Ash wins, but had to yield eventually, he couldn't stand against Rosalyn's weird powers for too long... 13:58 A Move like "Stealth Rock Blast" isn't even that bad of an idea. The Option to blow up your Stage Hazards for some Extra Damage before your Enemy may just remove them would be a nice strategic element. 14:41 "Ash has now become a decent person, so Brock respects him." Oh wow. This line is amazing. 15:39 That's not impossible. If Judge used Dragon Types or Ghost Types his weakness would be his strength too. 21:19 Not really no. But the most impossible thing just came up though: The Narrator officially "entered the Unknown" into the Story now. 25:36 Also why did Ash felt the need to explain his injuries to some random Ludicolo? 29:59 Maybe the Silver Conference had a team phase (3 points for Victory, 0 for Loss and 1 for Draw and the two top-ranked at the end of the phase proceed) and a K.O. Phase?

[@bemybff205]

Pretty sure what happened at the end there is that Ash got sent to the Shadow Realm and the next season the AI needs to write is the Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Oh crossover we've all been waiting for 🤔

[@Sopanny]

I think, after losing the silver conference, Ash gave up on being a trainer, and knowing that Ash had a great fate on his future Lucian got onto his dreams to make he see that his pokemon are still with him and therefore made so he would continue his journey.

[@AzureGreatheart]

So, the thing with Delia never actually said she was alive, so I think she’s a ghost. Proud is also still dead, and possibly killed Delia, which actually lines up pretty well with the bloody Pokétch mentioned in the first story. Will’s claims imply he’s Ash’s biological father, and/or Ash’s future self or split personality. Elm’s -+%*ing dead, apparently, so that’s unfortunate.

[@feredir2275]

[@Sheldon-senpai]

Recap of all characters: - Ash Ketchum: Our beloved protagonist. He was killed off by Giovanni, his then opponent at the Indigo League, but a Sea Priestess named Maya revived him because she fell in love with him. Unfortunately, his resurrection caused a loophole that prevents him to go back to Kanto, so, he has to continue his Pokémon Journey in Johto. - Misty: Ash's main (and only?) companion during his journey. They met after Ash was attacked by a Gastly and she had to save him with her "electric current" powers. - Officer Jenny: A police officer which warns Ash about the loophole caused by his resurrection. She later gives him a Pichu (supposing they're the same character). - Max (formerly Brock): The proud trainer of a newly evolved Seviper. He first met Ash after stalking him in his Gym Battle against Whitney and now travels alongside him and Misty, although they don't seem to recognise him as one of them. He also has an evil counterpart that hated Ash, even referring to him as "a bully", but they later solved their differences. - Dawn: A trainer that aided Ash at the Ilex Forest battle. She has a Froslass that evolved into an unknown Pokémon and a legendary Pikachu previously owned by both Ash and Brock. - Sand Beach Beach: A Teddiursa that Ash caught in a beach during his trip to Olivine City. He defeated Norman's Totodile and fought against Drayden's Houndour and Houndoom, only to be defeated by his own partner. For some reason, Sand Beach Beach is currently with Misty after Ash and her traded their Pokémon. - Pikachu: A Pokémon that Officer Jenny gave to Ash in order to start his journey in Johto. As a Pichu, he was a "bystander Pokémon", a term referred to Pokémon who don't want to battle. He later evolved into Pikachu at some point between his battle with Norman and his trip to Ecruteak City. After his evolution, he became an extremely powerful Pokémon, managing to beat all of the Ecruteak Gym Pokémon (allies included). He's currently with Misty alongside his partner Sand Beach Beach. - Norman: Also nicknamed as "Professor Poop". The Gym Leader of Olivine City that gives the Nibelung Badge to every Trainer that defeats him. He owns a Totodile that is easily defeated by Sand Beach Beach and a Simpoleon who cut Ash's arm with his move Swift. It's unknown if he's the same trainer with an Aipom that Ash fought at Ilex Forest. - Drayden: Brock's main goal, creator of Rosalyn and Gym Leader of Ecruteak City. He appears to be a strong leader, as both of his Pokémon (Houndour and Houndoom) are able to take strong hits from Ash's Pikachu. However, he miserably lost against him when Pikachu managed to defeat every Pokémon at the field. He gives Ash the Badge Badge in order to show how much his Boulder Badge competition has progressed. - Dareon: Misty's former ace Pokémon which is currently in Ash's team. Dareon was caught in Ecruteak City's Xatu Flight Academy. He's the first Pokémon Ash has seen that is able to fly which isn't a Flygon. Apparently, Dareon is the flying-type evolution of Eevee. - Arcanine: The other Pokémon that Misty traded with Ash. He doesn't do anything relevant, though. - Rosalyn: The "eccentric" Gym Leader of Cianwood City. She's a three headed Pokémon with pink hair created by Drayden in order to make a super-powered Pokémon army. She owns a Butterfree and a black Miltank named Magnolia. At her gym match with Ash, she disappeared in order to take care of an egg. Her disappearance meant Ash won and she gave him the Equivalency Standart Badge to show how superior Ash has become. - Smeargle: The third Pokémon Ash catches in his journey. He was caught at Petalburg Woods and knows Smack Smack, Smeargle Smash, Stealth Rock and Stealth Rock Blast. He'll eventually learn Wavedash, Smeargle Spin and Spinarak Spin. He was also registered by Ash's PokéDex. - Judge: A mysterious Gym Leader from Goldenrod City who got his title of Judge by being a strong Pokémon Master. Unfortunately for him, he's a relatively weak Gym Leader, which makes winning the Precedence Badge a pretty easy task. - Bubbles: A Lopunny Ash caught somewhere. Sadly for her, she's as important to the plot as Arcanine. - Team Rocket: The gang that made Bruno retire is back. This time they kill a Nurse Joy and kidnap Ash. Unfortunately, they had an airship crash in the Lake of Rage with Meowth as the only survivor. Now having a big rivalry with Maxie, a former participant of the Indigo League and Leader of Team Magma, Meowth is currently at Professor Oak Island with Oak himself taking care of him. - Glaceon: Ash's fifth Pokémon in Johto. He was caught offscreen as a Venusaur but somehow evolved into a Glaceon at the Ilex Forest battle. - Noctowl: A Pokémon given by Madam Mystery at the Ilex Forest fight. Noctowl was absent from most of the Gym fights until Ash used him at his battle with Drake, where he defeated his Ludicolo. - Cassandra: The Gym Leader of Azalea Town, whose badge, the Fire Badge, is as easy to obtain as going to the Ilex Forest or just helping her out after being knocked out by a Coal Fish. - Delia Ketchum: Ash's mother. She was declared dead as her corpse was seen behind some sheets but it was revealed that she faked her own death and became a Gym Leader in Violet City. After an unseen battle with her son, she gave him the Badge of Excellent Victory. - Will: Ash's real father. He killed Professor Elm and he thought he hurt Ash and killed his wife, so, he ran away from home and everyone declared he died as well. After seen his son, he opened a portal that transported both into a cottage to show him what really happened. Ashamed about who he really was, Will promises Ash that he'll make things right and he'll find Ash's whole family (I assume he's saying that he and his wife will return in order to show Ash how much they love him). - Bonnie Jackson: Mahogany Town's Gym Leader. She encountered Ash after a coconut fight with Misty and they decided to battle. She used her two Ivysaurs and her Lopunny but she couldn't fight as she was keen on giving Ash a hug. After that, she gave him the Champion Badge. - Drake: A pretty weird guy. He's introduced as Blackthorn City's Gym Leader and wants to have a full team battle against Ash. Unfortunately, since his full team doesn't have 6 Pokémon, he loses. Driven by revenge, he uses his powers against Ash and shows 3 more Pokémon that weren't used in the Gym battle because AI issues. He also kidnaps some guy named Shane who claims to be Ash's main rival. After seeing how wrong he was, he gives Ash the Rare Badge, a badge that is never easy to obtain and he disappears. Some days later, he's back with two shark Pokémon. - Gyarados: The Master of Hyper Beam. Drake wants his approval, but he gives it to Ash instead. He later aids Ash with his battle against the Elite Four at Thunder Base. - Knuckles the Colossus: Ash's first opponent at the Silver League. He's a member of Team Aqua and partner of Pyke the Sea Pirate. He's later defeated by everyone at the Baroque Hall. - Joe Flint: Ash's opponent at the second round of the Silver League. However, the Team Galactic member was defeated easily by him. - Mayflower Ashura: The winner of the Silver Conference. He defeated Ash at the semifinals and after his win he advanced to the Galactic Conference. There he also won by defeating Wally Mime using Lavander Town's Lance Mountain. - Lucian: What we'd call the final boss of the journey. He tries to kill Ash after he's shown his bloodlust (literally) by droving Ash into a black hole created by him. He then uses a Starmie and a Scyther in order to kill him. However, it doesn't work out, so, he tried to do it himself by having a physical fight where he loses because of a bite, causing him to be sealed in a time loop. Fortunately for him, his shadow (who he can control, apparently) somehow escaped the portal and traps Ash by putting him inside of a Poké Ball. After both trainers break free of their cages, Lucian turns into a boulder and crushes Ash's throat, seemily killing him. He later dissapears by turning himself into a cloud of dust without knowing Ash survived.

What I got from the parent gibberish, is that that Ash's father murdered Delia and hid her body, or thought he had, and stayed there so long he died. He hid out of grief trying. But someone named Will was actually Ash's father and revealed to Ash the truth, but had hidden his own identity to protect Ash. Delia either came back to life, or was in a spirit world, or somehow managed to avoid being murdered, and somewhere in all that became a gym leader. Or something...

[@spectator4683]

Okay, so this is what I got from Delia's story of how she appearently survived: Proud Ketchum thought he killed his wife, but in reality, he killed Professor Elm, and out of fear of her ex husband finding out the truth about her survival, she went into hiding and became a gym leader in Johto. Proud, realizing what he had done, hid in the sheets with Elm's body, who he had assumed was Delia because he had completely lost his sanity by that point. Will Ketchum, Ash's cousin, with the help of Delia, returned to Kanto and found Proud was dead, and as a result, Delia had no reason to hide from him anymore,.so she gave Ash his badge, retired from her position as a gym leader, and returned to her old house in Pallet. Will for his part decide to help Ash and stay by his side after he finally uncovered the truth of what really happened to his parents. And Proud killed Elm thinking he was Delia because... Yeah, I don't got an explanation for that part. Oh yeah, and this is al going by the assumption that this was a huge retcon from the last season. TL;DR The AI is as crazy as Proud Ketchum was.

[@KillerMouse]

[@cukincharts2225]

I was really looking forward to this and I'm not dissapointed! However, the first one had more battle content which was very interesting in my opinion. My theory about Ash's Parents goes something like this. While being married, Delia was Will's lover. Ash's father found this out and tries to kill her, leaving badly injured wrapped in sheets in the cabin's attic. Somehow she escapes. She's very embarrased and scared, so she'd rather let everybody think she was dead. Then she runs away from Kanto, becomes a Pokémon trainer and eventually a Pokémon gym leader. Back in the cabin, Will was looking for her, finds the bloody sheets and then proceeds to effectively kill Ash's father thinking he had killed her. Now my theory about the ending is far more simple. At some point, Ash, being severely mentally ill as we all know, fainted and all the drowning/Pokéball part was just a dream. Afterwards he wakes up by the beach, where some Pokémon might have taken him to. This was very fun to watch! Should we expect a Hoenn one? :3
