Idk, Game Of Champions is a lot of people's pick for favorite Pokemon fic, and it was never even finished. You could give it a glance to see what it's all about, it's worth it. I personally think the greatest draw for fanfiction of this franchise will always be the world of Pokemon itself. If you can move away from cutesy or anime-like portrayals and capture what it truly would be like to live and get lost in such a world, you'll keep people reading. I would also at least brush up in the basics of competitive—which Pokemon are the best and why, type weaknesses and resistances, popular moves, balanced team-building, etc. Maybe the wikipedia plot outline of each of the mainline games if you haven't played in a while. How smart people want Pokemon to BE varies with taste—I personally think they shouldn't be much smarter than animals, because then you have to justify an entire species somehow being okay with living in slavery, but whatever.
