don't you mean the Jerk Ass Fics
Yeah those. Don't forget he'll have "cool" Pokemon like Dragonite or Scizor. Which irks me because he already has Charizard so seriously why give him Dragonite? Since I see his Pokemon as characters in their own right (and not just things to collect) I hate it when they give him more Pokemon then he actually needs. I remember this one fic where the author listed like 50 Pokemon he was going to give Ash-at least a Dozen were Legendaries.
It's one thing if it's Mewtwo, because Mewtwo was an awesome character and I think a well written friendship fic for Ash and Mewtwo would be cool, but the fail writing makes even that terrible.
Movie Legendaries AKA the ones who could either Talk or were fucking powerful, like Mr.Awesome times two, the giant talking Lugia, Suicune, the creation trio + Arceus, the Tao trio-or duo, however you want to see it- and Mr.Victory himself, can be worked as Ash's Partners, because they have established character (even if some of them can't talk) but they are Pokemons, not objects, even then they are pokemons who are fucking powerful and their growth mirrors the human behavior (except the creatio trio, but they made nice nice with Ash in the jewel of Life) so they are friends/partners and not 'superweapon of DOOM i choose you' like they are in the games.
and seriously, Charizard and Pikachu are fucking bosses, i mean who else could have beat the shit out of Legendaries (minor ones, because honestly i only ones i consider truly Legendary are the 2000 movie one, cuz the other apparitions of teh Birds were pathetically weak compared to their 'I control the global weather patterns' movie selves)
Charzar beat the shit out of an Articuno an Pikachi the shit out of Reggice, not to mention the Dick move that happened in Sinho as Ash ha to fight the Author fiat that had 2 legendaries AKA Darkrai and Latios (and Ash team beat those 2, with Pikachu getting a MAD out of Latios), even when the Movie latios would have nuked both copies (and movie Darkrai would have bitchslapped his copy into submission before taking a Luster purge to the face and then ask if that was all, subsequently severly maiming the fuck out of the eon overgrown iguana).
Legendaries can be your friends (Samuek Oak and Celebi can atest to it), but at least take time to develop them as characters instead of I Win Buttons or plot devices.
