1/14/2024 0 Comments James amnesia pokemon fanfic![]() (It was STILL less boring than Draco Veritas, incredibly enough!)Īnd when I say “torturing”, I mean we get… lovely lines like this one: Since Cori Falls was no longer bound to canon, it turned into something only marginally less boring than Draco Veritas as Jessie, James, and Meowth ventured across the land, racking up badges like I rack up soda cans in a boring meeting, making friends with just about every character-of-the-episode (who, of course, secretly hated Ash’s guts), yammering endlessly about Dungeons and Dragons, The Lord of the Rings, and Wicca, humiliating and torturing Ash whenever they met him, and so on and so forth. “Sure enough, the Lake of Life had healed all of injuries - his cuts and bruises were gone, he had all of his teeth again, and his nose and jaw were back in place.”Īs of New Directions, Ash is twelve years old. Well, technically, Team Rocket threw Ash into a healing spring afterwards that gave him convenient amnesia, but they gave him a mauling worthy of serving as a pre-rendered example of how badly I think the Muggle boys beat Ariana, albeit with some differences in the locations of the worst injuries. As the title might suggest, this is where Cori Falls completely split from canon, and did so without bothering with minor things like ‘common sense’ and ‘self-restraint’ – starting it off with a blood sacrifice. Perhaps the OBHWF has even put down roots over in the Pokémon world? ‘We are the Weasley. ![]() Ash was also portrayed as a distinctly dimwitted brat and Misty as more than a bit of a bitch, but I’m inured to such things in shipping fic. So things had already gotten strange, but it was within reasonable limits. (Edit: Pardon me, from an in-story reference, I just realized that James was a practicing witch by this point, due to a story in which Jessie was possessed by an evil queen and he and Meowth had to fight off said queen on the spiritual plane. That said, they tended to be just bland and wangsty, rather than taking a flying leap off Niagara Falls into a floating platform made of guano without a parachute. Up to now, the stories tended to be filled with Team Rocket-self-pity, Jessie and James either nearly having sex or having sex that almost certainly violated the principle that “if you have an erection lasting for longer than four hours, seek medical attention immediately”, cookie-cutter declarations of true love, and the various issues I mentioned in the first paragraph. The characters were still bland and OOC, and bashing of Ash (and, to a lesser extent, Misty and Brock) still ran rampant, but at least I don’t recall a page here and there dedicated entirely to Jessie or James preparing French toast. A pity, since Shigeru1313 was a somewhat better writer than Cori Falls, and made my eyes glaze over much less. I can’t say whether there’s any merit to this claim at all, since I stopped watching Pokémon regularly soon after Johto Journeys began.Īlso around this time, she befriended a Gary Oak fangirl, Shigeru1313, who convinced her that Gary was awesome, so in Cori Falls’ fanon, he befriended Team Rocket in some storyline which I can’t retrieve from that apparently involved Pokémon poachers or somesuch. Then, she began acquiring a violent allergy to canon on the grounds that she perceived (around the time of the Master Quest season) that Team Rocket was being severely maltreated by the writers and Ash was becoming more obnoxious than ever. ![]() They’re about as padded as Brisingr by Christopher Paolini – which is to say that it gets violently boring at points, but some people really seem to like it. With some editing (mostly streamlining), these could have been decent, I suppose. These were rather corny and bland, with Jessie and James basically sounding like Hermione and Harry in a Harmonian fanfic. She started out by writing “behind the scenes” versions of the canon – basically Team Rocket’s Tale view of regular episodes. Cold-hearted, smug bastards break out in tears and talk about their miserable childhoods, effeminate, goofy guys suddenly become manly and deathly serious, and borderline-amoral characters acquire more private rules and regulations than the United States Tax Code. Unfortunately, often, when expressing their opinions through fanfiction, they often destroy what makes the villains interesting in the first place by making them conform to their ideal of The True Heroes Of The Story, whether or not this had anything to do with the villains’ original personalities. Some people hate the nominal heroes of a story and fangirl/fanboy the villains, because they feel the heroes are obnoxious, the villains are more interesting, and so on and so forth. For those not knowing Cori Falls’ fics, allow me to summarize: ![]()
