Pokemon: Future
Alternatively titled "Nacreverse"
About
An AU extending from the anime open ended finale.
In this page you can find links for the fanfics taking place in this AU, as well as character sheets, headcanons and more.
This project is divided into two. The Main series collection, mostly focused on Ash and Dawn and their relationship; and the Side Chronicles collection, focused on telling stories about their friends, rivals, enemies?; and exploring ideas of mine that don't fit the main narrative.
I may also create fanfics completely unrelated to those. You wil find those in the Fic collection page.
Current Status
Work in Progress. Finishing all the fic's outlines.
Likely release: February, 2025.
Main Timeline
Present
Canon. Lasts 2-3 years in total, with Ash nearing 13 by "The rainbow and Pokemon Master".
Future
Short fic exploring how Dawn has been doing post DPani. Very introspective look on Dawn as a character and her journey towards her goal.
Pearl level: 1/5 (very low, with only some implications at the final chapter)
Alola, Dawn!
Oneshot featuring Dawn in a visit to Alola. Happens immediately before the following series.
Pearl level: 4/5 (the whole fic is about them being cute. Nothing really romantic happens but the setting itself gives off that feeling)
Platinum Plast
The first long fanfic series in my collection. A Pokemon Legends Arceus story. Features Ash and Dawn at the age of 15.
Pearl level: 3,5/5 (they're more worried about not dying so there's no time for feelings. And yet, even then, there's some slipping throught the gaps)
Kalos roots
Second oneshot featuring Ash in Kalos dealing with the ultimate weapon. Happens immediately after the previous series.
Pearl Level: 0/5 (this one is focused on Ash alone in Kalos while dealing with the almost destruction of that region. no time to mull over how much he misses Dawn)
Once the Champion, always the Champion
Second long series. Tells the story of Ash's second journey through Alola alongside his pokemon. Age 17.
Pearl level: 1/5 (focused on Ash and his Alola family, there's almost no romance in this. Just Ash, his pokemon and Alola fam hanging out)
Dawn of a new master
Third long series. Tells the story of Dawn's second Sinnoh contest circuit. Age 18.
Pearl level: 1,5/5 (if there's anything, is a very blink and miss thing, except for the end. This too is mostly about Dawn and her pokemon than anything else)
Let's go Kanto!
Fourth short fic. Tells the story of Dawn's first visit to Pallet town alongside Ash. Happens imediately after the previous series.
Pearl level: 4/5 (very pearl heavy! No real romance thought. Just them hanging out and being cute)
Goodbye Kanto
Third Oneshot. Features Ash moving from Kanto to Alola. Age 19.
Pearl level: 0/5 (there's no pearls here whatsoever)
Name pending
Fourth long series. Tells the story of Ash and Dawn travelling Sinnoh for a second time. Ages 20.
Pearl level: 5/5! (fully focused on the two of them and their relationship and what it means for them to be together. Very cute, very cheesy, very silly)
Name pending
Fifth and final series. Tells the story of Ash and Dawn travelling Kanto and Johto. Ages 21.
Pearl level: 4/5 (focused on their adventures as a official thing so of course the number is high. not the highest because the plot focus is not about their relationship but rather something else)
Future's future
Side Chronicles
Sister Series
Currently I'm still figuring the timeline and how many of those I'll be making, but whenever I'm sure of a new addition, I'll include it here.
