Pokemon: The Ash Outside the Script

His life had long been written into the world's underlying code.

In the Pokemon world, Ash discovers that he is nothing more than a "classic anime" being played on repeat.

A journey at ten, eight badges, the League Championship and its regrets... Everything unfolds according to a predetermined script.

But this time, when Professor Oak hands him a Poke Ball, a cold prompt sounds in his mind:

Catch a Scyther? No, first stock up on Pecha Berries to weather the financial crisis.

Challenge Giovanni? No rush. He needs to crack the laws of the wild in Viridian Forest first.

The League Championship? That's only the beginning. What he wants to pry open is the entire world, locked in place by the "script."

"My Charmander isn't going to be the protagonist's pet." Ash clenches his fists and meets the dragon's scrutinizing gaze.

"We're going to be the ones who tear up the script."
