Your post made my day much better! What are some things ash does when he’s much older(50-60)?
- Ash gets into making these cute story books about his, less dangerous, adventures!
- like his adventure with Charmander up until His reconciling with Charizard during the Orange Isles or cute tiny stories about how he came into being partners with Gengar and Dragonite
- his most popular book is his only adult book where he describes, in painstaking detail, his partnership with Pikachu from day one until the present. Every journey, every victory, every loss, every struggle. It’s a book spanning around 10 volumes that are pretty thick, thicker then say the HP or LOTR, and has been the discussion of many literature majors and professors in many colleges.
- it was also his first, and only, series and books he’s ever made. It was something his long standing therapist suggested he do and was supported by a very big majority of his friends because they all saw this as a way for Ash to get his feelings out. He only ever actually published the books because Lance, now way retired and in the nursing homes, loved them and wished that everyone old enough could read the books.
- they were published a year later on the date of Lance’s death, passing away in his sleep surrounded by his family and ‘Mons, with the books ascribed to him.
- this also brings up every single piece of confirmation evidence about every single world ending battle Ash and Pikachu ever been in. From arginine memory of their first meeting of Mewtwo and the feeling of being turned to stone, to Latios’s death, to the journey of raising Solgaleo from its baby evolution.
- no gore detail has been spared and It’s widely known not for the faint of heart and even some people who pride themselves about being horror fanatics can’t consume the books
- Ash, when faced with this facts, does a 180 and goes into child books. Light hearted and airy
- He makes a bunch of stories about Team Rocket Trio as well, about the only talking Meowth in the whole wide world and all their funny costumes
- he also goes and helps out in the nearby schools, advocating for more help for kids and teens with ADHD and other diagnoses and for stuff he was never given during his middle school and elementary time.
- Ash also gets his old middle and elementary school shut down. Teachers were well known to be abusive to kids that they didn’t seem ‘perfect’ in health, such as kids with ADHD and even kids with Cancer, and actively tried to fail them in anyway they can
- this causes Misty, surprisingly the best Champion Kanto and Johto has ever seen in a while besides Lance, into making stricter laws about teaching and making schools pay more funding for certain things to help kids be the best that they can
- Ash also gardens, a lot. He picked it up from Delia a little while before she passed away since she couldn’t take care of her own garden anymore, Mr.Mimey had well passed away after finding out he had the Pokémon Equivalent of stage 4 liver cancer later on in life.
- he and Brock have a bunch of communal gardens over a lot of cities in Kanto. Going to each one and teaching new and current traveling trainers the importance of berries and food that’s healthy for their Pokémon’s
- Ash is no longer Alola’s Champion, after holding the title for over 30 well loved years, but that doesn’t stop him from babying the current Champions across the globe.
- he gains the nickname ‘Grandpa Ash’ to league members both young and old and Ash wears the title with pride
