Hi /padt/. I'm writing some fanfics and could use your input on how Ash might react in a handful of situations. None of them will be in the fic itself, I just want to get a beat on how Ash operates. Yes, I already know Ash isn't smart. I just want a rough idea how bad it is and in what shape it takes form.
Missing and/or false information may be provided. For some additional context, the various bad guys are more thorough in these scenarios, not playing as nice as they did in the anime, although it's not "I'm gonna slit your throat if you defy me" edgy. Ash doesn't need to fear for his life, just some bruising for acting out, and the increased likelihood they'll steal his pokemon for pissing them off. In the past, Ash had police assistance during encounters.
>(Gen 3, the oldale ruins episode) Team Magma didn't let Ash keep his pokemon with him when team Magma took the people in the pokemon center hostage. They took Pikachu, then threw Ash, May, and Nurse Joy in the same locked room without any pokemon. Does he still try to escape through the vent?
>(Gen 4, Hunter J Episode) Ash was swiftly defeated by Hunter J, but instead of only taking Pikachu, she snatched each of his Pokeballs as well, taking Aipom, Staravia, and Turtwig. Does Ash still try to confront her unarmed, and sneak aboard the ship? If so, how does Ash react after he gets knocked out by Drapion and wakes up in a hospital with none of the Pokemon he had with him, being told that Hunter J got away?
>(Gen 8, the Hop battle episode) Instead of defeating Hop's Wooloo in one move, Wooloo survives the hit, and after a fierce battle where both trainers gave it their all, actually defeats Pikachu. Hop sighs and dismisses Ash as weak. Does this psyche Ash out before the tournament?
Oh, and since the newest anime hasn't reached us english speakers, I'm not including Liko in the stories yet.
