His friends would be overjoyed. They've witnessed Ash's growth over the years. For Brock, he might see it as a validation of Ash's skills that he's made it to such an elite group. Misty would probably be bragging about her friend to everyone she meets. And his other friends from different regions would be eager to visit him at the Elite Four headquarters. They would also be curious to see how Ash would interact with the other members of the Elite Four, and would be supportive of him as he takes on this new role in the Pokémon world.
His friends would likely have a mix of reactions. Some, like Pikachu, would be right by his side and excited for the new adventure. Others, like his human friends, might be a bit sad at first because he'd be spending more time with the Elite Four duties. But overall, they'd be proud of him. They know how hard he's worked to get to this point in his Pokémon training journey. And they'd also be looking forward to seeing how he'd change the Elite Four with his unique style.
Well, Sasuke might initially be angry. He and Naruto have a deep bond, and Naruto leaving Konoha for another village could seem like a break in that connection. Sakura would be heartbroken. She's always cared about Naruto, and seeing him go would be difficult for her. As for the others, like Kiba and Choji, they might feel like they've lost an important part of their team. They would wonder if there was something they could have done to keep Naruto in Konoha. However, over time, they might come to accept his decision if they see that he's happy in the new village.
His other friends from Camp Half - Blood would have mixed reactions. Some would be proud of him for wanting to serve and protect in a different way. Others might think he's crazy for leaving the world of demigods and getting involved in mortal military affairs. They know he has a duty to the demigod community, and joining the military could put that in jeopardy. But overall, they would support him because they know Percy always follows his heart and they trust his judgment.
He might face some tough battles right away. The Elite Four are known for their strong Pokémon and strategic skills. Ash would have to quickly adapt to their level of play.
His friends might be really confused at first. Pikachu, for example, might give Ash some really puzzled looks. If Ash tries to explain to his friends that they're all part of a fanfiction, some of them might not believe him at all. Misty could think Ash has hit his head or something and is just spouting nonsense.
Ash would probably be initially shocked. He has always trusted his friends, so the idea of betrayal would be hard to swallow. He might try to talk to them, to find out why they are doing this.
Their friends like Brock would probably be very excited. Brock, being knowledgeable about Pokémon and also having a nurturing side, would offer all kinds of advice on taking care of May during the pregnancy. He might even cook special meals for her to ensure she has all the nutrients she needs.
Some of their Pokémon friends might also show unique reactions. Pikachu could be very protective of Serena, always staying close by to make sure she's okay. And their other Pokémon might bring little gifts like berries or shiny stones they find, as if they understand what's going on. The more mischievous Pokémon might play little pranks that end up being endearing in the context of the pregnancy, like stealing Serena's hat and then replacing it with a flower crown as a sign of celebration.
Well, their friends could also play a role in bringing them together for the kiss. For example, they might set up a special date - like - like a picnic or something. And when the kiss finally happens, their friends would be overjoyed, cheering and maybe even planning a celebration for the new couple.
Pikachu would probably be very confused at first. It's used to fighting against Team Rocket, not being on their side. It might resist and try to zap Ash to snap him out of it.
His journey changes from traveling around to mostly staying in one place. He now has the responsibility of being one of the top trainers to be challenged.
