Team Rocket's Jessie and James would also be fun main characters in this kind of fanfiction. They are always getting into wacky situations, and being handcuffed together would just add to the chaos. Their Pokémon, like Meowth, could also play important roles in trying to either get them free or get into more trouble.
Ash and Gary could be great main characters. They have a long - standing rivalry. If they were handcuffed together, it would be really interesting to see how they interact. Their different Pokémon - training styles would either clash or, over time, complement each other.
A new trainer and an experienced gym leader could be the main characters. The new trainer is full of enthusiasm but lacks experience, while the gym leader is jaded but highly skilled. When handcuffed together, the new trainer could learn from the gym leader's wisdom, and the gym leader could be inspired by the new trainer's fresh perspective.
He could be handcuffed together with his sister Jazz. It would be an interesting dynamic as they have a typical sibling relationship, and being handcuffed would force them to be in close proximity and deal with each other's quirks in a new way. Maybe they have to solve a mystery while handcuffed.
A new trainer and a legendary Pokemon. Imagine a young trainer who accidentally cuffs themselves to a powerful and mysterious legendary Pokemon. The trainer has to figure out how to communicate with the Pokemon and gain its trust while they are literally bound together. This would be a great opportunity for character growth for both the trainer and the Pokemon.
One possible plot could be two rival Pokémon trainers being handcuffed together by some strange device or magic. They initially struggle against each other but gradually learn to work together as they face various challenges in the Pokémon world, like dealing with wild Pokémon attacks. This forces them to use their Pokémon's skills in unison.
Diana would also make a great main character. If she were handcuffed, she would approach the situation with her usual elegance and intelligence. She might use her vast knowledge of magic to try and find a solution, and her interactions with other characters, especially those she normally wouldn't interact much with while handcuffed, could add a lot of depth to the story.
The main characters are clearly Alice and Bella. Alice is the one doing the handcuffing, which might suggest she has a more dominant role in this particular scenario. Bella, on the other hand, is the one being handcuffed, which puts her in a more vulnerable position.
One possibility could be that they have to work together in an even more coordinated way to fight crime while handcuffed. Their powers might be slightly hindered, but they would find creative ways to use them. For example, Bubbles could use her sonic scream to blast away enemies while Blossom and Buttercup hold her steady since they're linked.
A young and ambitious Pokemon trainer who wants to save their injured Pokemon through surgery could be a main character. Also, the Pokemon doctor who is an expert in performing these surgeries.
Perhaps the main characters are the Pokémon themselves. It could be a group of Pokémon that have been ostracized or underestimated, like a group of weak - looking Pokémon that prove their strength when they team up. They could include Pokémon like Magikarp, who is often seen as not very useful, but in this fanfic, might show some hidden powers when combined with other Pokémon. Another possibility is that it features a legendary Pokémon that unites other Pokémon to fight against an impending threat.
If two characters are handcuffed together, they are forced into close proximity. This can lead to a quicker development of their relationship. For example, if it's Jaune and Pyrrha, Pyrrha might see a more vulnerable side of Jaune as they struggle with the inconvenience of being handcuffed. This could make her more protective of him, and Jaune could become more confident in himself as he sees how much Pyrrha cares.
The main characters could be a pair of best friends. One friend could be a very cautious and methodical trainer, while the other is more impulsive. They both encounter a double - trouble situation when they come across two wild Pokemon that have been affected by a strange energy. These Pokemon start attacking everything in sight, and the two friends have to combine their different training styles to subdue them. For example, the cautious friend might try to analyze the Pokemon's behavior first, while the impulsive one jumps right into battle.
