This [[Fanfic]] series
It's also worth checking out the author's other stories: ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6575222/1/Gods_And_Mortals Gods And Mortals]'' and ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8068957/1/Stopping_The_Storm Stopping The Storm]''.
Line 30:
* [[Brother-Sister Team]]: Latios and Latias.
* [[Captain Obvious]]: The announcer in the Silver Conference League, to the point of being a [[Running Gag]].
{{quote|
'''Announcer''': Pokémon X has just Y'd! }}
** It's pretty much Lampshaded, too.
Line 39:
** He celebrates his 12th birthday in the ''first'' chapter of A.N.C.F.A.
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Ironically, Latias plays this role to Larvitar and Phanpy rather than her actual brother.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: {{spoiler|Lance tries to take Latios, so obviously they try fighting back. His dragonite knocks Latios, Pikachu, and Charizard out in one hit. Fortunately, it's subverted right afterward where Latias gets a surprise attack in and disarms him by taking his pokeballs.}}
* [[Death Glare]]: Larvitar is [[The Woobie|disturbingly good at these]].
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: The previews for "A New Chance for Adventure" (at the end of ANCAL) imply that May and Max will be this.
Line 72:
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: It's not yet there, but there's loads of hinting to it (see [[Ship Tease]], below).
* [[Keet]]: Phanpy.
* [[The Kid
* [[My Master, Right or Wrong]]: {{spoiler|Lance's Dragonite points out the inherent stupidity in trying to attack and steal Latios, but goes along with his trainer's plan anyway.}}
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: As per canon, Buffalo Bill and Doctor Simba Butch and Professor Namba experience this a lot.
* [[Never Live It Down]]: In-universe, regarding [[Running Gag|Pikachu and bikes]]. From Chapter 2, after Pikachu's Thunder attack destroys Team Rocket's mecha and is releasing stray electrical bolts:
{{quote|
'''May''': "My bike!"
''Latias stops the bolt using her psychic powers''
'''Latias''': "You owe me one, Pikachu!" (''She grins'') "You bike destroyer!"
'''Pikachu''': Alright, thanks! }}
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Ash, who wonders why [[Fan Girl|Macy]] tries to follow him and needs Latias to explain to him what a date is.
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: Everyone was pleasantly surprised when Lt. Surge appeared in the last chapter of the first story.
Line 90 ⟶ 89:
* [[Psychic Powers]]: Latios and Latias, obviously. {{spoiler|And Ash may be well on his way, due to the soul-bonding he did with Latios.}}
* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: Latias is fond of using these to wiggle out of punishment for her constant pranks. Only her adoptive grandfather can resist them.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|Really 109 years old]]: Latias and her brother. [[We Are
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]:
** Latias is Red; Latios is Blue.
Line 106 ⟶ 105:
** Semi-averted in the last few chapters, where ''2'' others do.
* [[Tournament Arc]]: Similar to the regular anime, but now Ash has an [[Olympus Mons]] beneath his belt.
* [[Training
{{quote|
* [[Troubled but Cute]]: Larvitar. By the first story's end he's ''mostly'' gotten over it, but he still has trouble, such as when strangers try to touch him.
* [[True Companions]]: So very much - in particular, Phanpy considers the Pokémon he's closest to among Ash's team (and a few others, as well) as his family.
Line 113 ⟶ 112:
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Pikachu and Latios are a Type 2 - so much arguments and banter, but really close friends and confidantes as seen with how they take mutual amusement at many things.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: {{spoiler|Lance, who wants to take Latios to train him, whether Latios want him to or not. He gets better though.}}
* [[Who Would Be Stupid Enough...?]]: [[Continuity Nod|The magikarp salesman]] tries to sell Ash a golden Pidgey that supposedly can lay golden eggs. Latios, Latias, and Pikachu easily see through his charade, but Ash only realizes this after his Pokémon tell him. Humorously, Team Rocket falls for it.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: Barring [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|Latios and Charizard]], Ash's other Pokémon actually fare somewhat poorly during the matches against Gary and Harrison (in the former match, only Pikachu takes out a single Pokémon, Umbreon - while Charizard beats three and Latios defeats two). Narrative-wise, this is evidenly done to give Latios a chance to shine and prove he's nearly a [[Game Breaker]] for the unprepared. YMMV on whether this is a good thing or not.
