What could be an interesting plot in an 'Ash turns into a Pikachu' fanfic?

Well, it could start with Ash being transformed into a Pikachu in a mysterious forest. His friends are initially confused but soon realize it's him. As a Pikachu, Ash discovers new abilities he didn't know about before. He might be able to sense things like incoming danger more acutely. He could also have a hard time convincing his other Pokémon that he is still their trainer. Throughout the fanfiction, there could be a series of comical and exciting events as he tries to adapt to his new form and find a way to reverse the transformation.

Well, in such a fanfic, a cool plot point might be that Ash, as a Pikachu, has to communicate differently. Since he can't talk like a human anymore, he has to find new ways to convey his thoughts and ideas to his friends. Also, there could be a plot where he discovers new powers that normal Pikachu don't have because he was once human. For example, he might be able to strategize better than a regular Pikachu in battles.

One possible plot could be that Ash starts his journey with a different starter Pokémon, like Bulbasaur. Without Pikachu by his side, he might face different challenges and form different relationships. He could struggle more in the early battles without Pikachu's electric power, but then develop unique strategies with his new Pokémon team.

Maybe the main antagonist is an evil scientist. The scientist has been studying Pokémon transformations and when he sees Ash turn into Pikachu, he wants to experiment on him. He chases Ash around, trying to capture him with all kinds of high - tech devices. This forces Ash to use his Pikachu form's abilities and his human knowledge to outwit the scientist.

In this fanfic, it could be that Ash is turned into Pikachu as a result of an experiment gone wrong. As Pikachu, he discovers new abilities and senses that he didn't know about before. He might form closer bonds with other Pikachu in the wild and learn their ways of living. He could also have to face challenges like being hunted by other Pokémon that see him as an easy target, and he has to use his new Pikachu - like skills to survive and try to find a way to turn back into his human form.

One possible plot could be Pikachu getting influenced by a dark and powerful Pokemon. For example, a Darkrai might use its nightmare - inducing powers on Pikachu. This could make Pikachu start to attack other Pokemon and trainers without mercy. Maybe Pikachu would first target its own trainer, Ash, as it would be the most shocking turn of events. This would create a lot of chaos in the Pokemon world and force Ash and his other Pokemon friends to try and figure out how to save Pikachu from this evil state.

Team Rocket could still be the main antagonists. They might see Ash as a Pikachu and try to capture him more than ever, thinking he's a special Pikachu. Maybe they believe he has some sort of new power because of his transformation.

Another idea could be a more emotional story. The female Pikachu gets separated from her group for some reason. Ash finds her and takes it upon himself to reunite her with her family. During this time, they have to endure harsh weather conditions and dangerous terrains. As they spend time together, they develop a deep connection that is based on mutual care and the shared goal of getting the female Pikachu back to her loved ones.

Well, it could be about Ash somehow magically being transformed into a Latias. Maybe he then has to deal with the powers and instincts that come with being a Latias. He might try to find a way to turn back while also exploring the world from a new perspective as a Pokemon.

Well, perhaps in the fanfic, Ash turns into a girl because of a curse. As a girl, Ash could start to see the Pokemon world from a different perspective. Maybe she would form new relationships with her friends, like Pikachu being more protective. And she might have to enter Pokemon contests instead of battles at first due to the new appearance, but then find a way to get back into battles and show that she's still the same strong trainer inside.
