Hello everyone and welcome to my first fanfic! Now, I'm a big fan of both Pokemon itself and Pokemon fanfiction, so I decided to join the whole fanfiction stuff myself just for the fun and fellow fans!

This fanfic will take place in a genderbent AU of the Pokemon Anime world, where basically every human and Pokemon will have their gender flipped. (Ash - Ashley, Pikachu (male) - Pikachu (female), Serena - Samuel). It'll take place in an 8 year future of the anime, where characters like Ashley Ketchum will be 18.

I wanted to make this fanfic because I want to show my own interpretation of Ash's future self, as long with a genderbent twist to it, as I've seen a lot of fanfics of just Ash being the great future Pokemon Trainer, so why not give his female counterpart a turn?

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this fanfic, please leave reviews if you'd like. Would REALLY appreciate feedback.

On the long grassy path of Route 22 walked a girl who appeared to be about 18 years of age.

She had dark-raven hair that extended beneath her shoulders and it was in some sort of spiky, messy style and on top of that raven-hair was a red and white hat with some sort of green symbol on the front.

Besides the hat, she also wore a white shirt underneath a red vest, a blue skirt with a black leather belt around the waist, green fingerless gloves, and a pair of black and white sneakers over some very short socks. The most interesting traits of the girl's attire were two special looking bracelets on each of the girl's wrists. The one on her left wrist appeared white and metallic and it had a small slot on the center that was in the shape of a tiny diamond, and there was currently a yellow crystal in that slot. The bracelet on her right wrist was more darker in terms of color and well-rounded in terms of shape, and on its center was a small, multicolored-looking stone with a DNA-ish symbol on it. Another fairly intriguing trait of the girl's attire was a yellow backpack that appeared very heavy for some reason, though the girl wearing it seemed to have no trouble walking with it.

Now focusing on her face, the girl had beautiful brown eyes that were above two birthmarks resembling lightning bolts on her cheeks. And to the left of her face was a small mouse leaning on her left shoulder.

The mouse had yellow fur, red cheeks, black eyes, long ears with black tips at the ends, two brown stripes on its back, and a tail that had a similar shape to a thunderbolt, but the end had a small dent to it, making it somewhat resemble a heart. Also, at the bottom of the mouse's right ear was a small pink bow. This mouse is a Pikachu.

As she walked, the girl had her left hand reach up to her companion to pet the fur on her head, causing the mouse to let out a cute sigh, showing the strong connecting between the two.

After walking for about two more feet, the girl stopped in her tracks to turn to her right to look at the river of the path's right side, having to have heard splashing noises that caught her attention. The splashing didn't come from one source, but from multiple; there was a Magikarp flopping about, two Goldeen swimming next to each other, a Remoraid diving in and out of the water, and a Poliwag having a splash fight with a Poliwhirl.

The girl smiled fondly at the aquatic creatures. Ever since she was born, she always had an intense love for the creatures called 'Pokemon.' Whether they're common or legendary, small or large, strong or fragile, she adored every type of Pokemon out there. When she was young, she once ventured out to the woods next to her hometown just to see Pokemon, but she only got lost in the midst of a rainstorm, but the experience furthered her love for Pokemon as she was soon offered shelter and warmth by a small group of Pokemon living in the woods.

The girl closed her eyes and reminisced on the far-back memory until she was suddenly interrupted from her thoughts by a younger voice.

"Hey, you!"

The girl opened her eyes back up and turned to the source of the voice; a young boy who seemed to be about 8 years younger, wearing a yellow cap, a blue shirt with a white stripe, yellow shorts with a belt, and blue and white sneakers. He was standing a good 12 feet away as well.

"Are you a Pokemon Trainer?" the youngster asked.

"Yeah I am." the girl responded.

The girl then saw a small smirk appearing on the youngster's face as he took a Safari Ball off from belt.

"I'm a trainer from Fuchsia City and I challenge you to a Pokemon Battle!" the youngster declared as he pointed the capsule to the girl's direction.

"Do you accept?" he finished.

The girl and her Pikachu faced each other, shared a smirk with a nod, and turned back to their challenger.

"You bet I accept!" she happily replied.

"Pika pika!" her mouse followed.

"Alright! What's your name, by the way?"

The girl smirked and said, "My name's Ashley Ketchum and I'm from Pallet Town!"

"Pika-pikachu!"

"Huh, cool name," said the youngster, "but let's get the battle started!"

The younger trainer then let the arm holding the Safari Ball back before swinging it forward to throw the ball.

"Scyther, come on out!"

Out from the boy's Safari Zone Pokeball came the praying mantis, standing at its regular 4 foot 11 inch height.

"Cute Pokemon," remarked Ashley as she took a Pokeball of her own from her belt, "but wait til' you see this one."

Before she threw the ball, she briefly stared down and smiled at it.

"Sceptile, I choose you!"

Ashley tossed up her Pokeball that then released the forest warrior Sceptile, who stood not it's regular 5 foot 7 inch height, but an impressive 9 foot 10 inch height, not like any other Sceptile the youngster has ever heard about. Other things different about Ashley's Sceptile was that it had yellow, pink-petalled flower in her mouth, a metal ring with a green-glowing stone on her right wrist, and a pink bow (similar to Pikachu's, but a tad bigger) on top of her head.

The female Sceptile placed one claw on her hip and smirked down her smaller and lesser experienced opponent.

"Th-that's a strong-looking Pokemon." the youngster commented as he saw his Scyther stare up in fear of his opponent.

"Thanks." returned Ashley. "I caught her as a Treecko during my adventures in the Hoenn region many years back, so I guess you could say she has a vast amount of experience on her."

Sceptile nodded in agreement to her trainer's statement as she continued to chew the stem of the flower.

The youngster slightly trembled when he heard the words 'years' and 'experience'. He didn't expect his challenger to be this old of a trainer, he thought she maybe was just a beginner like he was.

"Oh, um, well," the youngster sucked up his guts and decided to just go for it, "let's get it on! Scyther, you ready?"

Hearing his trainer's voice, Scyther shot out of his fear of the large grass type and grew a more serious face, ready to win one for his trainer.

"Scy-ther!" the mantis screamed.

"Great! Start off this battle with Swords Dance!" commanded the youngster, commencing the beginning of the battle.

Scyther crossed his claws as 12 transparent blue swords appeared and started circling around him. The mantis glew red and orange for brief moment before uncrossing his claws as the swords disappeared, now with a raised Attack stat.

"Please be enough to match their power." hoped the youngster in his mind before giving out another verbal command.

"Now use Slash!"

Scyther jumped from his feet and his wings started to flap in a rapid pace as it began to fly towards Sceptile with his right claw glowing white. As he neared more to the grass starter, Scyther threw his right claw and begun to launch it towards Sceptile's body.

"Catch it." commanded a calm Ashley.

With the same type of calmness as her trainer, Sceptile easily caught Scyther's right claw with her left palm before the Slash attack could reach her, without even receiving a tiny bit of pain. With her opponent in her grasp, Sceptile grinned down to Scyther as the poor bug regrew his fearful face.

"Now use Leaf Blade!"

Sceptile threw Scyther up to the air, jumped up, spun around as the leaves on her right arm enlarged and glew green, just in time to strike Scyther in the gut as he fell back down.

The mantis was flung all the way back in front of his trainer, and just as the youngster feared, Scyther was knocked out in one shot.

"Scyther, no!" the youngster yelled as he concernedly ran to his Pokemon to help him.

"Are you okay?"

"Scy." the mantis replied, weakly nodding.

The youngster took out Scyther's Safari Ball to return the mantis.

"You did your very best, buddy. Now return and have a good rest."

Scyther was absorbed back into his ball. The youngster then walked back to where he originally was standing as he took out a Great Ball from his belt. From where he was, he saw Ashley patting her Sceptile's back.

"You did great Scepy, but you didn't have to be that hard on him." Ashley jokingly remarked to which Sceptile responded by crossing her arms and closing her eyes with a smug look.

Ashley giggled at her Pokemon's everlasting pride before returning her back to ball and facing her opponent.

"Want to keep going?"

"You bet I do!" the youngster called out, feeling as though his next choice could stand a chance against anything her opponent might use next.

"Go, Sudowoodo!"

The youngster threw his Great Ball, releasing a tree-like Pokemon.

"So he's using a Sudowoodo, huh?" Ashley remarked to herself. "Heh, kinda reminds me of her's."

"What Pokemon are you gonna use next?" asked the youngster.

"Just another longlasting friend of mine." Ashley responded, taking out another Pokeball from her belt.

"Infernape, you're up next!"

Out from Ashley's second Pokeball came the fire-fighting monkey starter of Sinnoh, Infernape. While it wasn't as tall as Sceptile, it was still a pretty tall Pokemon compared to its regular species as it, ignoring the fire crown, was just as tall as its trainer, who was about 6'08''. Much like Pikachu and Sceptile, Infernape wore a pink bow, wearing it right on her forehead beneath her fire crown.

"I heard of that Pokemon. Isn't that-"

"An Infernape? Yep." Ashley finished for the youngster. "I caught her at the Sinnoh region back when she was a Chimchar and we've been the best of friends ever since!"

Hearing this, Infernape turned to her trainer and gave her thumbs-up, who happily gave one back. Infernape then tightened her fists and faced Sudowoodo once again, ready to give it her all for Ashley, despite how much more powerful she is compared to the pseudo-tree.

"This one seems feisty, but we can take it! As I learned in school, Sudowoodo is one of the most defensive Pokemon out there, so we should be able to keep up with you girls this time! Plus, his ability is Sturdy, so we won't be done any time soon!" the youngster confidently assured.

"Alright, then let's see. Infernape, use Mach Punch!"

"Infer-" the fiery warrior started as she brought her right fist back as it glew blue.

"Nape!"

With the blink of an eye, Infernape rushed towards Sudowoodo as her fist made contact with his face, sending the rock-type a great distance away just past his trainer.

"What the-? Sudowoodo!"

The youngster ran towards Sudowoodo, only to find him to have already fainted from the match. This absolutely shocked the young trainer as not only were Sudowoodo's high Defenses were surpassed, but his Sturdy ability as well.

"But, how?"

Ashley slightly giggled and said, "Sorry kid. Infernape has been training for plenty of years, not even the world's sturdiest Shuckle could get past a single punch from her."

While saying that, Infernape jumped and backflipped to her trainer's side and the two clasped hands and smiled at each other before Ashley thanked her and returned her back to her ball.

"Still wanna keep going?" asked Ashley.

"You bet!" the youngster replied, having to have just returned Sudowoodo back into his Great Ball, replacing it for an Ultra Ball.

"My uncle gave me this one when I started my journey, so it should be a good match against you! Hitmonchen, you're up next!"

The youngster released the female-only boxing fighting-type, Hitmonchen. Upon release, the Pokemon placed her gloved hand on the hips of her purple skirt, waiting for her opponent.

"Oh, I got someone special for that!" Ashley remarked, taking out her third Pokeball from her belt.

"Decidueye, I choose you!"

The Pokeball thrown over the battlefield released out the mysterious owl hailing from Alola. Her talons looked sharp and her wings looked strong. She also wore a pink bow right in front of the standing feather that was on top of her leafy hood.

"Whoa. What kind of Pokemon is that?"

"Well kid, this is my old friend, Decidueye, and I caught her at Alola when she was only a Rowlet, the grass starter of that region. In case you don't know, her typings are Grass and-"

"Grass?!" the youngster quickly cutted Ashley off. "That's all I needed to know! Hitmonchen, show them your Mach Punch!"

Much like Infernape, Hitmonchen's right fist glew blue and she ran towards her opponent. However, she wasn't even nearly as fast as Infernape was since Infernape's speed was blinding while Hitmonchen's was just a regular jog. Not that speed mattered anyway cause as soon Hitmonchen tried to punch Decidueye, her fist only creepily phased right through the owl's body. Decidueye giggled at the fighting type's mistake as Hitmonchen only stared at the owl with an expression very similar to the one Scyther had up against Sceptile: absolute fear.

"What on earth?" the youngster questioned.

"Heheh, you should've let me finish. Decidueye's typings are both Grass AND Ghost!"

"Ghost? Oh...crud."

Ashley and Decidueye briefly faced each other before sharing a nod.

"Alright Decidueye, finish her with Spirit Shackle!"

"Wait, I don't even know what that move is and-"

Ignoring her opponent's trainor, Decidueye backflipped and flew up to the air in front and above Hitmonchen. Quickly switching from flight to offense, Decidueye extended her left wing out and used her right one to pull a red feather back like a bow and arrow as she aimed down towards the flabbergasted female boxer. The feather started to glow a ghostly purple as Decidueye fired it down to Hitmonchen, with the impact immediately blasting her back in front of her trainer, down for the count.

While surprised, the youngster regained his composure and returned Hitmonchen, thanking her for her efforts.

Back on Ashley's side, her Decidueye landed right near her and she started to pridefully take a stand as her feathers majestically shimmered from the sunlight. Both Ashley and Pikachu giggled at her actions before the trainer thanked and returned her.

"We're not done yet!" yelled the youngster, grabbing Ashley's attention. "I still some aces up my sleeve! Poliwhirl, here we go!"

The youngster threw his fourth Pokeball, which was a regular red and white one, and out came a bipedal tadpole that had a huge swirl on his stomach.

"Okay then. Greninja, I choose you!"

From Ashley's fourth ball from her belt came a bipedal frog that had its large tongue wrapped around her neck, looking like a scarf. Much like Infernape, she was about the same size as her trainer and she wore a pink bow on the top of her head. Now on the battlefield, Greninja took a ninjatic stance with her legs close together, her arms crossed, and her eyelids closed.

"Who's that Pokemon?" asked the youngster.

"This is my old friend, Greninja. Much like the others, I've had her for many years ever since I caught her, or well, she chose me, at Kalos back when she was a Froakie. Though by the time we were done at that region, I had to let go of her for certain reasons, though it wasn't too long when I came back once she was done over there."

"Cool story, but enough talk. Poliwhirl, use Hydro Pump!"

"Poli-WHIRL!"

The youngster's Poliwhirl quickly fired a huge stream of water towards his ninja frog opponent, who simply stood in her place, retaining her calm composure.

"Night Slash to block it."

Just as Poliwhirl's Hydro Pump was 6 centimeters away from hitting her, Greninja, in half of a millisecond, opened up her eyes, drew out a sharp purple blade, and sliced through the huge stream of water, effectively ending the attack.

"Unbelievable..."

"Poli..."

"Now finish Poliwhirl with Water Shuriken!"

Before the youngster or his water Pokemon could react, Greninja created two shurikens made out of water and skillfully threw them towards Poliwhirl, creating a dust of smoke. Instead of being concerned like he usually is, the youngster smiled confidently.

"Sorry lady, but my Poliwhirl's ability is Water Absorb, so I think you should get prepared for a counterattack."

"Hey kid, you should wait til' the smoke clears first."

"Why? Poliwhirl can easily see through smoke and-"

The smoke cleared just in time before the youngster could finish, and what he saw absolutely shocked him. Poliwhirl had fainted from the Water Shuriken attack.

"Impossible..."

The youngster looked up from Poliwhirl's body to see Greninja walk back over to her trainer to share a high five with her before returning her back to her Pokeball.

"H-how do you get your Pokemon so powerful?" asked the youngster.

"Because, well, I just trust them. Besides, you should be thankful that we didn't unfold Greninja's true power on your Poliwhirl."

The youngster didn't know what she meant, but knew it be best to take her word for it. After hugging his unconscious Poliwhirl, the youngster returned him back to his Pokeball and took out another Great Ball.

"It's time to get serious. Nidoking, show them your power!"

When the huge purple monster was released, he immediately roared out and flexed his muscles, though Ashley wasn't fazed one bit.

Instead, she just kept her battle-loving smile as she took out her fifth Pokeball and threw it to the air, releasing a Pokemon much more monstrous than the youngster's Nidoking: her Charizard.

"RAAAAAAAAAAWWWRRRR!"

The lizard roared out instantly after release. The roar was so powerful, visible shockwaves were seen, the trees off to the left side of the path all shook, many of the water in the river were splashed out, and Nidoking and his trainer were pushed off their feet. Ashley and Pikachu didn't look bothered in the slightest though.

When the roaring finally stopped, the youngster got up and finally got a clear view of the Pokemon. It was a large, orange dragon that seemed to about a little larger than 10 feet. She had a long tail with a burning hot flame at the end and two blunt horns. She wore a pink bow on top of her head and she had a metal ring on both of her wrists. One had a blue stone and the other had an orange one. The dragon saw her opponent and her opponent's trainer, causing her face to shift from a cold, hard glare to an unimpressed smug face, knowing she wouldn't have to take them seriously.

"This is my Charizard, kid. She's one of my very first Pokemon and I caught her as a Charmander all the way back on Route 24. For so many years, she has gained victory in numerous tough battles and I honestly can't even recall a recent match that she has lost in."

"Uh, w-we're n-n-not afraid of y-you!" the youngster called out to Charizard.

"Right, Nidoking?"

Still on the ground, Nidoking only shivered in fear as he stared up at his much larger and gruesome opponent.

"Let's end this one quick. Charizard, Flamethrower!"

Out of Charizard's snout came a giant stream of white flames that quickly engulfed Nidoking. When the attack was over, Nidoking was already knocked out.

The youngster groaned and returned the fallen Pokemon, now taking out his last Pokeball.

Ashley walked over to her Charizard and started petting her large neck.

"Rawr!" Charizard happily cooed, enjoying her trainer's touch.

"Good girl!" congratulated Ashley. "But you didn't have to hold THAT much against her."

"She was only holding back?!"

Charizard only brushed that off as she licked her trainer's cheek before being returned to her Pokeball.

"So, who's your last one?" Ashley asked the youngster.

"Well, just my first Pokemon ever. Raticate, come on out!"

Just as the youngster stated, the light brown rat Pokemon, Raticate, was his last Pokemon and he gave his species' usual vicious glare as he awaited for his opponent.

"A Raticate? Pikachu, you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Pika pika!" the mouse enthusiastically replied before jumping off her trainer's shoulders to face the Raticate. On the battlefield, Pikachu was on all fours as her red cheeks sparked with electricity.

"Pikachu is my starter. We've been together for every single adventure and there's no battle in the world that she'd be afraid to participate in!"

"Let's do our best, Raticate! Use Hyper Fang!"

Raticate's two front teeth enlarged and glew white and he ran towards Pikachu with the intent of biting her.

"Dodge."

As soon Raticate got close, Pikachu, with the speed of light, disappeared from her spot just before Raticate could bite her and she reappeared to the rat's left side. The youngster's Raticate kept trying to use his Hyper Fang attack, but Pikachu just proved too fast for him. Pikachu was so fast, she was about 100 times more faster than Infernape using Mach Punch.

"Alright Pikachu, let's end this battle with a bang. Use Thunderbolt!"

Using her impossible speed once again, Pikachu dashed right above Raticate in about half a millisecond.

"PikaCHUUUUUUUU!" the mouse yelled as she unleashed a large powerful bolt of lightning down towards Raticate, utterly shocking him.

When the attack was over, Pikachu landed back in front of her trainer as her completely crisp opponent felt down to his side in a fainted condition, giving the victory of this battle to Ashley Ketchum.

While the youngster was saddened by the loss, he wasn't really surprised, especially after seeing the power of all the other five Pokemon of Ashley. After letting out a sigh, the young boy walked over to his Raticate, thanked him for trying, returned him to his ball, and walked over to Ashley, who had her arms out for Pikachu to jump in as the mouse ran back towards her.

"Great job there, Pikachu!" Ashley happily congratulated her longtime friend who was now in her arms.

"Pikachu, PikaPi!" Pikachu cheerfully responded as she hopped back on Ashley's left shoulder so that she could nuzzle her cheek.

The two then spotted the youngster walking up towards them.

"Wow lady, you're strong." the youngster shyly admitted, rubbing one hand behind his hand.

"Hey, you're not so bad either. You've only just begun, so don't let this lose get to you. You still got a lot more to go through so you're gonna get stronger in no time!"

"Really? You think so?"

"I know so."

Hearing this, the youngster's eyes instantly beamed of happiness.

"By the way kid, what are you doing here on this route anyway? If you already have your eight badges, the Indigo League doesn't start until the next few months."

"Oh, I know. I just got my 3 badge from the Viridian Gym, so I was just here to catch some more Pokemon, like my Poliwhirl."

"The Viridian Gym? Who was the Gym Leader?"

"Um, just this lady called Garyn Oak. I think she's also Professor Oak's granddaughter or something?"

"Oh yeah."

"Huh. So what I heard back over on the mountains is true."

"Well," the youngster, taking Ashley away from her thoughts, "I'm going back to Viridian City to heal up my Pokemon and continue my journey! Thanks for the battle! Hope to be as strong as you someday!"

And with that, the kid took off like a jet back for Viridian City.

Amused, Ashley giggled once again, having to have been reminded of how reckless and energetic she was back at that age, all the way back at the beginning of her adventures. Granted, even after Kanto, she was still heavily reckless and energetic, and she kinda still is, she just wanted to look cool for the kid, but of course, she's much more smarter and stronger than she ever was back when she was 10. I guess that's what several years of training at Mt. Silver can do to a person.

With this in mind, she turned to her Pikachu to pet her on the head once again, much to her pleasure.

"Y'know Pikachu, I would've never gotten this far without you." Ashley then looked down at the five Pokeballs that she used on her belt, and then to her yellow backpack, which upon opening up the front pouch, contained plenty of other Pokeballs.

"I also would've never get this far without all of you too." Ashley contently spoke before closing up the pouch for the capsules' safety as she started to continue to her way down Route 22 for her next destination.

"I wonder how happy daddy would be when he sees us again?" Ashley questioned her Pikachu.

"PikaPi, pika pikachu pi pika."

"Heheh, oh yeah. And Mimia too."

Now THAT was fun! Hope you enjoyed them!

Also, I didn't repeatedly misspell Hitmonchan on accident. It was on purpose. You see, I did say every Pokemon in this universe is going to be genderbent, even the ones that have one gender only. In the name 'Hitmonchan,' the word 'chan' seems to represent Jackie Chan, the professional martial artist. Since Jackie Chan is a guy, I though the word 'chen' sounds maybe a bit more feminine than 'chan', so I thought that would fit. (right? If I'm wrong, which is likely, please correct me!)

At the end of each chapter, I will post the main characters and Pokemon introduced.
