    Summary

    Born and raised in sleepy little Pallet Town, Ash Ketchum has always looked outwards to the vast and beautiful world beyond. Driven by wonder, ambitions sparked by the legendary Champion Lance, and the entirely justified desire to shut up Gary Oak, Ash sets out to make his mark on Kanto and the Indigo Conference that awaits him.

    But the world of Pokémon has other plans. Joined by a humble Nidoran, Ash soon finds himself in for more than he bargained for when they find themselves facing Team Rocket, fantastically powerful pokémon, and friends he never could have imagined.

    An epic journey story, unfinished but actively updating and fully planned. 2.1 million words on FFN and counting.

    *I will be posting this fanfiction on Royal Road shortly as well.

    Summary

    Ashley Ketchum’s alarm clock blared like a wild Jigglypuff concert gone wrong. She groaned and slapped at it blindly, missing twice before finally smacking it silent with a loud clunk. The sunlight was merciless, creeping in through the gap in her curtains and landing right across her face. "Ugh, Sun! Take a hint," she mumbled, yanking her blanket over her head. For a split second, she entertained the brilliant idea of using Dig to escape deeper under the covers. Her toes wiggled as if prepping for action, but her brain kicked in a moment later.

    Today wasn’t just any day—it was the day.

    Her eyes shot open like a Staryu’s gem, and she bolted upright in bed, her blanket flying off her like a Togekiss taking off. “Today’s my first day as a trainer!” she squealed, practically vibrating with excitement. She threw her legs over the side of her bed and stood up so fast she almost tripped on her Pikachu-patterned pajama pants.

    Summary

    On especially cold or stormy days, when Izuku's bones burn and ache from years of horrific injuries, he uses Fa-Jin to heat himself up. It may not be as strong as it once was when the Vestiges were still with him, but it's in a perfect sweetspot to both be used as a combat quirk and as a personal heater.

     

    The only unfortunate thing is that a lot of the Hero Course girls also see him as a personal heater.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku knows several things.
    He knows that he has a quirk, despite it not showing up yet.
    He knows that the ringing of metal on metal in his head never goes away.
    He knows that life is rarely easy and almost never fair.
    He knows that he will stop at nothing to be a hero and makes his parents proud.
    he's just not sure he knows what to do with that knowledge.
    This is his journey, from (supposed) quirkless child to pro hero.

    Summary

    Silence stretched for what felt like hours in the observation room, none of them unfazed enough to make an utterance.

    Midnight promptly broke it with an astonished “Holy shit,” as one of the stronger applicants lifted Midoriya off of the torn up street, per Chiyo’s request.

    “Teachers of UA,” Nedzu addressed, feeling quite giddy. “Meet Midoriya Izuku, our top scorer in both the practical and written exams.” Nedzu rolled the video back to Izuku standing in the dust, the girl leaning heavily against him as he stared at the Zero-pointer with determination instead of fear.
