Ash Ketchum

Ahahahahaha no... he is like candy to them

Ash Ketchum has the temper of an anime character and the good sense of a ten year old. And the loyalty of an electric rat. He's... a lot like Davie Balfour, honestly, only with positive constitution. The one piece of life advice imparted to him before he left home was "change your underwear every day" and we have no evidence he actually takes it.

Ash tends to leap to conclusions and act impulsively and with good-hearted belligerence. I expect this will be a source of great amusement to Dracula all the way to the Women's Wing, where this particular special treat is going to be the very best, like no one ever was...

But what of the Pokémon? It is incredibly taboo for Pokémon to attack people directly, but they will defend their trainer. It's also taboo for people to directly engage each other - disputes are to be settled by Pokémon battles. (It's the Power of Friendship and Document Review Cockfighting!) Does Dracula even care about these taboos? Are Ash's Pokémon going to sit back and let this little boy become lunch? Pikachu has never done what he's told in his life, Squirtle is a whole mob boss, Bulbasaur lives by the motto No Gods No Masters, and Charmander is... also there I guess.

Or maybe not. Dracula probably steals all his pokeballs the big jerk. But Pikachu is still free-range.

I think Dracula does not keep any Pokémon himself because all natural animals hate vampires so I presume Pokémon likewise. No Power of Friendship for you. He rules the pack of Lycanrocs outside by fear and compulsion. (If Ash does get outside while Dracula is still in residence, Pikachu won't offer much protection, as electric is weak against ground). However, Dracula probably avoids at least some of the taboos by turning into Pokémon himself. Like, if he turns into Zubat, Pikachu probably wrecks him. But I suspect the favored Dracumon is probably Zoroark. I know it says Fox Pokémon, but it's more his color scheme than Lycanroc, and Dark, Ghost, and Normal type moves seem exactly the right combo for Dracula. It'll put him neutral in the elemental rock-paper-scissors against The Rodent, but I am confident Dracula is higher level.

Now if we take Dracula's Guest as canon and the blonde vampiress as Countess Dolinghen, and take seriously the lightning ask from earlier, then vampires are susceptible to electric attacks to the extent of being incapacitated not destroyed. Pikachu can probably protect Ash from the Girlies up to a point. But if Dracumon in pokeform can take out Pikachu, then Ash is pretty trivially back on the menu

So Ash Ketchum, champion of Indigo League, can not survive Castle Dracula.

I leave it as an exercise to the reader to speculate about Dracula's starter and team competition, in the unlikely event he can get Pokémon to listen to him at all

Video

been tracking down the danish dub of the original pokémon series for preservation purposes (and because it rules) and I think the fact that only danish kids got to hear this incredibly milf-y rendition of team rocket might be some kind of psy-op to make the rest of the world’s children less gay

clipped ‘em for you all and slapped on some quick subtitles, enjoy

#pokemon #pokemon anime #team rocket #jessie team rocket #james team rocket #meowth team rocket #indigo league #pokemon original series #neither original voice track or english dub hold a candle to this thing someone recorded in their basement w the same 5 actors #sincerely by far the best voice cast for the indigo league anime do not try to change my mind #unreality cw

Love this episode so much because it was the start of them secretly rooting for Ash for the rest of his league battles all the way up to his final battle with Leon. ❤

Not to mention them using Ashs Pokemon getting stronger as an excuse to support him instead of admitting they secretly respect him.

It was so hard to pick characters for this (partly because I’m still not fully sure I understand the criteria lol) but I really wanted to hop on this trend!

#like I think it’s either supposed to be like oldest favourite newest favourite characters?#but also maybe just any comfort characters?#not sure lol #but I went with Misty and Mikan!#I’m really happy with it lol #danganronpa #sdr2 #mikan tsumiki #Pokémon #indigo league #misty waterflower #pokémon misty #art trend #comfort character
