''[[La Serie de Ken]]'' was a spanish ''[[Pokémon]]'' fanfic based on the original games which had a lot of fame and achknowledgement on its day, from a spanish website focused on the ''Pokemon'' franchise.

The intention was a fanfic closer to the cynical end of the [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: it featured darker plots (especially the sequel, which shattered the typical "beat the gym leaders and become a master" plot found in all games) and, more importantly, it deconstructed the way Ash always won by means of [[The Power of Friendship]]. The battles were also a lot more exciting, which helped to boost the fanfic's popularity greatly. It left behind the tropes and stereotypes of classic Pokemon fandom, to make a more realistic, dynamic, violent and charismatic story. It had two seasons (a regular story and a sequel, if you prefer) and was available in ''Universo Pokemon'' and later its own website, ''Ken's Power''.
