The fanfiction might also explore Ash's inner turmoil. He could struggle with self - doubt, thinking that he was not a good enough friend. However, as he faces various challenges on his own, he realizes his own worth and that the abandonment was more about his friends' own issues rather than his shortcomings.
A mysterious Pokémon whisperer might appear. This character could have the ability to communicate with Pokémon in a unique way and help Ash better understand his Pokémon, which in turn helps him grow as a trainer during his time without his friends.
In this kind of fanfiction, perhaps Ash loses a big Pokemon battle and his Pokemon feel disappointed and abandon him. This could lead to Ash going on a journey of self - discovery to regain their trust and friendship.
One possible reason could be jealousy. Maybe Harry has achieved something great and his friends can't handle his success. For example, if he gets a very important role in a magical competition, his friends might feel overshadowed. Another reason could be a misunderstanding. Harry might be wrongly accused of something, like being in league with the dark side, and his friends, in their fear or haste, abandon him without giving him a chance to explain.
It could be a powerful and jealous trainer who wants to take Ash's place. This trainer might use dark magic or some underhanded tactics to make Ash's Pokemon abandon him so that he can swoop in and claim them for his own.
In most Pokemon fanfictions, this is not the case. Ash is typically portrayed as a character who values his friends deeply. Fanfictions usually build on the strong bonds he has with his friends in the original series. However, there might be some very rare and out - of - the - ordinary fanfictions that take a different approach, but it goes against the general essence of the Pokemon story.
He would probably try to figure out what went wrong. Harry is a curious and determined character. He might start to recall recent events to see if there were any signs of his friends' discontent. He could also try to reach out to them, either directly or through mutual acquaintances, to ask for an explanation.
Ash would probably be devastated. He would feel like his world has been turned upside down. At first, he might not believe it and think it's all a big mistake. As the reality sinks in, he could start to isolate himself from others, even from his Pokemon for a while. However, his strong will would eventually kick in. He would use this as motivation to become stronger, not just in his Pokemon battles but also in his ability to face challenges alone, without relying on his so - called friends.
One possible reason could be jealousy. Maybe Ash has achieved more in his Pokemon journey than his friends, and they can't handle it. Another reason might be some misunderstanding. For example, an enemy could trick Ash's friends into thinking Ash has done something bad. Or perhaps there's some sort of power struggle. If there's a powerful item or a rare Pokemon involved, and Ash is the main contender, his friends might be tempted to betray him for their own gain.
