One idea could be exploring a new alien form that wasn't in the original series. Maybe an alien with the power to control time in a unique way. Another idea is to have Ben go on a mission in a completely different galaxy, facing new challenges and enemies.
You could write a fanfic where the Omnitrix malfunctions and starts randomly transforming Ben into different aliens at inopportune times. This would lead to some really funny and chaotic situations. For example, he could transform into Heatblast during a school exam and have to figure out how to not set the classroom on fire while also dealing with the test.
You could also write a fanfiction where an OC is accidentally bonded with the Omnitrix in a way that it can't be removed. The OC then has to learn to live with it and use its powers for good, but they face challenges as they are not Ben. They might have to deal with people who are suspicious of them having the Omnitrix and also face enemies who are specifically after the device because of its new and unexpected host.
One idea could be that the Omnitrix malfunctions and gives Ben new, unexpected alien forms with powers he has to quickly learn to control. For example, an alien that can manipulate time in small bursts, which would create really cool scenarios where he has to fix things that went wrong in the past few seconds. Another idea is that a new villain is specifically targeting the Omnitrix and Ben has to protect it while also trying to figure out the villain's motives. Maybe this villain has a device that can nullify the Omnitrix's powers temporarily.
One idea could be that Ben discovers a new and powerful alien form in the Omnitrix that has abilities he's never seen before. He has to quickly learn to control it to defeat a new and dangerous villain.
Perhaps a plot where the human - like aliens are being hunted by an evil organization that wants to study and use their powers. They have to rely on their wits and the help of a few trusted humans. Diamondhead as a human could use his crystal - like skin ability in creative ways to defend against the hunters. And they could also start to question whether they are more alien or more human as they fight for their freedom, which would be a great exploration of identity in the context of this fanfic.
One interesting storyline could be about Ben exploring new alien forms that were previously unknown in the official series. Maybe he discovers a form that has unique powers that he has to learn to control quickly to face a new and powerful enemy.
One interesting concept could be exploring new alien forms that the Omnitrix can transform into. Maybe there are some hidden or rare aliens that Ben discovers in the fanfiction.
One interesting idea could be exploring an alternate universe where Ben's Omnitrix has different aliens with unique powers. For example, aliens that can manipulate time in ways not seen in the original series. Another idea is to focus on a story where Ben has to team up with his enemies to face a greater threat. This would create a lot of interesting character dynamics.
A really interesting plot could involve a time - traveling aspect. Ben and Julie accidentally travel back in time to when Ben first got the Omnitrix. They have to be careful not to disrupt the timeline while also trying to find a way back to their own time. Along the way, they could meet younger versions of characters they know and have some really fun and emotional interactions. This could also lead to Ben learning some important lessons about his powers from his past self.
One idea could be a story where the Omnitrix is fused with a Pokeball, allowing the protagonist to transform into a Pokemon and use its powers while also being able to capture other Pokemon in a unique way. Another could be a cross - over where characters from Ben 10 (where the Omnitrix is from) end up in the Pokemon world and have to use the Omnitrix to survive and understand the new environment. A third idea is a story where a Pokemon trainer discovers an ancient Omnitrix - like device that gives them the ability to transform into rare and powerful Pokemon forms that no one has ever seen before.
Obviously, Ben is a must - include character as he is the main user of the Omnitrix. Gwen can also be a great addition as she has her own powers and can provide support or be a source of conflict. Grandpa Max is another good character, with his experience and knowledge.
