You wanna know what could have been a great idea for a storyline that cant possibly happen now since Pokemon Origins exists
I would like to imagine Misty, Brock, and Ash are having a nice lovely picnic when all of a sudden a man looking like Ash walks up him
Ash is confused. He makes a joke about "what's with the get up?" he makes mention to this to Brock and Misty who have shat their pants in fear.
They politely ask Ash to please back away slowly. Ash, confused asks why. The man who looks like Ash responds with "Is that anyway to talk to your older brother?"
Ash thinks this is a joke but Misty and Brock in a dead serious tone tell him he's not joking. 10 years ago long before Ash was born a trainer by the name of Red met Misty and Brock at a much younger age
His pokemon battling skills were extraordinary. So much so that after he beat the Elite 4 when he returned to Pallet Town Ash's mom told Red "you're about to have a little brother"
Red goes to Pewter and Cerulean specifically and tells Brock and Misty "you'll throw your fight against my brother. You'll even accompany him on his journey so he betters himself"
the entire adventure ash has had with Brock and Misty was staged. Ash was destined to be with them and win those badges solely because he told them to and the fact that Red wants to challenge Ash to a battle to see what he has learned they plead with him not to because it be a killing
