Let's say that 8 years ago, I was disappointed about the ending of the Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V. But after searching, I stumbled upon Fanfiction.net and I found a story that gave the series a better ending. That's when I started reading Fanfiction. I usually read fanfiction from Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V for a year, until I saw my first Pokemon Fanfiction: Alola to Our Savior.

Back then, I thought that Ash's betrayal stories were cool topics, and I felt bad for Ash in these stories, I also think he deserved to be stronger. But since I didn't have a laptop until my high school graduation, I have been brainstorming a lot of ideas in my notebook instead of in school.

The first idea is to create my own Fakemon. This idea comes from Pokemon Insurgence, Pokemon Uranium, Pokemon Solar Light Lunar Dark, and so on. I mentioned in the last chapter that I watched a lot of Youtubers' playthroughs, and a few of them will play Pokemon Fangames. I prefer the story plot of the fangames more than the original until Sun and Moon come out. And that gives me some ideas for brainstorming some Pokemon. In the end, I created about 1000 fakemon within a year, creating two new types, each type having 50 Pokemon.

Now I should talk about how I created the Sevestar Region, the thing is, I was reading two fanfics called Facing the Shadows of the Past and Breaking Hearts, Shattered Bonds. Those two stories are betrayal stories but include the author's original region. Those two stories gave me a lot of ideas to create my own region. And because I stumbled across the Seven Star Hotel in the Diamond and Pearl Games and Arceus is one of my favorite Pokemon, I decided to make it Sevestar. 

At first, I want to go with the original plot of 8 Gym Leaders, the leaders that I picked are Nate, Flora, Reisa, David, Helen, East, Tox, and Minami. If you read my stories you'll know what kind of types they are. And the Elite Four members are Terry, Wyree, Mark, and Alice. The shipping in the story is of course Ash and Lillie shipping. However, after watching the playthrough of Pokemon Reborn, I really liked the idea of having 18 gym leaders, so I decided to change and add more leaders. In the end, I created two specialists for one type, one for male and one for female. 

In some of my stories I like to make Ash Arceus, that's because I was influenced by a one-short that is related to the 12th movie, and in that story, Arceus' soul left its body and it turns out to be Ash himself. And that's how it has been a theme in my stories.

My first story is of course Ash's Story, since I'm influenced by some Fanfic that rewrites Ash's journey, and the one that influenced me the most is the abandoned story Ash: The Ultimate Journey, that story is Amourshipping. He made Ash overpowered and captured even more Pokemon. I was thinking about doing it with Aureliashipping. But I also like Serena so what should I do? In the end, I decided to make Ash a brother to Serena in Grace's family, and Delia becomes his aunt.

For the sibling concept, I only had Mark as Ash's sibling until I decided to add 4 of my OCs to it. Minami, Golly, Trenor, and Insey eventually became my choices because I already have others in their own family. Like Reisa and East in Wallace's family, Alice, Eve, and Flora in Valerie's family, and so on. 

In Ash's Story, I added not only my own Sevestar Region but also two more regions that I want to try out. They are called Vigorate and Tremin. I added some of my fakemon into the stories because I think it is cool. It wasn't easy to write, but at least I finished my first story with over 150 chapters.

Time after time, I decided to add more stuff and try to include all of my original Pokemon into the stories, and I created four more regions so that there are actually 7 fanmade regions that I've done. The two new types that I created are Music Type and Chemical Type, and the Pokemon I created are actually two words combined into one. I tried to create a chapter for a day, but it turned out to be very tiring because not everybody can just post a chapter in a day especially when we're busy with school stuff. Not to mention when Generation 8 appears, other than Galarian Yamask, they didn't collide with the fakemon that I created. When I noticed how Pokemon Uranium was banned, I was scared that my fakemon content would be banned as well, that's why in the end, I decided to delete some of my stories with my fakemon, like Ash's New Home or A New Ash Ketchum, or change the content to leave out of the fakemon, like RPA High, Prince Ash, and so on.

Now that I have a laptop, my writing speed is starting to get faster, and I try to write Ash's journey in the fangames that I played through, like Ash's Torren Story, Ash's Rikoto Story, Ash's Tandor Story, and so on. I tried to write a story called Ash's Celios Story, but I got a private message from the creator to drop that story out because she didn't like the way I wrote. That makes me so worried that in the end, I stopped posting the new chapter of Ash's journeys in the fangames, and the only one that was completed was Ash's Reborn Story.

Ash and OC pairing is something that I didn't think of doing until I got another private message that asked me to do it. I tried to find some stories to read and I was fascinated by the stories: PAL The Dark Chronicles, Secrets, and so on. I decided to make one of my OCs the female protagonist in the story. Who should I pick? Since I usually paired Lillie with Ash, and she is my Ice Type representative, that's when I decided to pick Alice because of it. With Alice joining in, I  created two stories: The Sevestar Prince and the Sevestar Prince Darker Version. They are also betrayal stories but influenced by the stories that I read.

Even though Ash's story is done, I still feel bad for not pairing Ash and Serena that much in my stories, that's why I am trying to make another Pokemon Fanfic. This time it was influenced by another anime that I watched: Attack on Titan. When they introduce the concept of the Rumbling, I start to wonder what if the Legendary and Mythical Pokemon are like the Colossal Titans, using their power to destroy the world? And since Ash in my story is Arceus, so I want to try out if Ash wants to destroy the world kind of fanfic with Amourshipping. At that time there was also the Avengers Infinity War, I decided to create my own Infinity Stones one for each type of Pokemon for them to collect. Love and Despair is actually the second story that I finished.

With Ash's story done, I tried to see if I could expand the stories so that there would be more content in it, but to me, it turned out worse. I start to grow tired of them and they all just become hiatus in the end. I mean Ash's Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, and Journeys Story. All of them start out great until I meet my writer's block and there's no time for me to replay the game and also rewatch the playthroughs for those stories. The only reason why I could finish Hisui Story and Paldea Story is because I started the same time as I played the game, so as a gamer who wants to finish the Live Pokedex, I was able to do the work and play at the same time.

Not only Pokemon, but I also write stories of Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V, Food Wars, and even Attack on Titan. However, for the first two, I only wrote one story, and one was eventually abandoned. Attack on Titan ones are still going, and the reason being that I am a fan of Eren and I really don't like how he died in the end despite doing genocide on a great scale of killing 80% of humanity. I also don't like how the enemies of the first part of the story are the ones who lived instead.

During these 5 years, I've been trying to find what kind of topics that I really like to write and what kind of topics that I don't like. In the end, all of those who are completed are actually the ones that I enjoy writing, while those who are abandoned for a long time aren't. I can't just delete them because there will be a lot of people sending mail to ask me what happened to those stories and some of them are annoying. But I don't have the will to update them unless I find my spark back.

And until a year ago, the spark of rewriting Ash's journeys came back to me, and I decided to do it starting from Kanto. Right now I'm into Hoenn, which is not easy for me, and I also decided that after that arc is done, I'll delete any stories related to it. For example, if I finish the Kalos Arc, I decide to delete the Kalos Story because the content might be the same with only a few twists. I know some of you probably don't like it, but it is my final decision and I'm not going to change that.

The Sevestar Prince series is probably my favorite work, because I like to make my OC similar to Ash and also loyal to him, and those two creating sparkles is also something that I like to do. A few months ago, when Scarlet and Violet came out, I didn't forget to add the Paldea Region and also the gen 9 stuff into the game, and I hope you all find it and enjoy the content. When the Teal Mask or the Indigo Disk is out, I will also rewrite some chapters to put that content inside as well.

And this is my thoughts on Fanfictions and Wattpad, In the next chapter I'm going to talk about my own version of Ash Ketchum.
