Line 11:
* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: Not really ''all'' the powers, but Guardians often have to combine their powers to catch dual-type Pokemon. ''But not always'', as Panda reminds us every time a dual-type is caught by a single Guardian and reviews start complaining.
** Later, they ''do'' combine all of their powers for a super attack.
* [[Anti-Villain]]: {{spoiler|Bigu}}. Possibly also the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]--especially—especially Electra, who knows {{spoiler|Bigu}}'s secret and is keeping it. Neriko [[Capulet Counterpart|also shows signs]] of wanting to join the side of good, but like the other [[Punch Clock Villain|less evil members]] of the Evil Guardians, her fear of what [[Big Bad|Guardia]] would do to her if she betrayed him keeps her in line.
** Oh yeah. Hikaru ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1771556/162/Guardians_of_Pokemon definitely]'' qualifies.
** Even Oki turns out to be fairly noble in Chapter 168.
Line 26:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't call Misty a [[Tomboy]].
* [[Big No]]: Sayer Blight, in true ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' fashion.
* [[BLAMNon Sequitur Episode]]: Chapter 122.
* [[Born Lucky]]: Mitsumi
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: At the end of chapter 8, the characters interact with the narrator.
Line 39:
* [[Carry a Big Stick]]:Gary gets a mace as his weapon.
* [[Casanova Wannabe]]: Brock, as usual, but this time he's joined by Dash, who starts to admire/look up to Brock (not ''[[Ho Yay|that]]'' way) around Chapter 26.
** Unlike Brock, however, Dash actually has an occasional success--firstsuccess—first with Mazie and then later with Neriko.
* [[Catgirl]]: Katana and Katori
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Ash's [[Gender Bender|Girl Transform]] was used twice early in the story and then reappears after a 104 chapter-hiatus. {{spoiler|Apparently Girl!Ash looks enough like Mitsumi to fool [[Love Makes You Crazy|heartbroken possessed Gary]].}}
Line 99:
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Bugsy, again.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Most of the OC Guardians (actually, anyone who wasn't in the original party except Jessie, James, and Chibi) awaken as Guardians either in their initial appearance or shortly thereafter, but {{spoiler|Katana}} appears multiple times before her awakening (though her name is not learned until right before she awakens.)
** When the Evil Guardians are introduced, 10 of them are revealed to have appeared in the story at least once before--andbefore—and that's with only 15 of the 17 there. (Butch and Cassidy are not present in that scene, though they arrive as soon as their Guardian counterparts awaken.)
* [[Elemental Powers]]: There are 17 Guardians and 17 Evil Guardians, one for each type, and they each have powers related to their type.
** [[Playing with Fire]]: Sakura and Oki
Line 118:
*** And then the two ''youngest'' members end up going up against Cassidy and Butch. Despite already being a bit looped when accepting the challenge, {{spoiler|Pikachu}} actually manages to outlast Cassidy, but Chibi is nearly forced to turn into an adult and join in when Mitsumi shows up to save them. Apparently, the [[Can't Hold His Liquor|Can't Hold Her Liquor]] appearance she displayed at the beginning of the chapter was just an act.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: Gunpei.
* [[Fan Service]]: [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1771556/34/Guardians_of_Pokemon If you can't take the heat...] get naked.
** In [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1771556/82/Guardians_of_Pokemon the Tenchi crossover chapter:]
{{quote|'''Tenchi''': I understand you need them in these capsules, but was it necessary to have them strip down to nothing?
Line 130:
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: {{spoiler|Bigu, ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|big]]-time''.}}
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: Sakura after her second upgrade.
* [[Fusion Dance]]: Latios and Latias become Lati@s (which due to the limitations of fanfiction.net had to be written as Latis; Panda explains the way it should have been in an A/N afterwards--becauseafterwards—because the @ symbol looks like an a inside an o, you see) in the third movie.
* [[Gender Bender]]: It wouldn't be Pokémon if Ash didn't end up in a dress at least once...except this time it's a true gender swap. Initially involuntary, but subsequently gets added to Ash's list of powers.
* [[Gender Blender Name]]: Hikaru. Misty actually turns the "[[Tomboy]]" insult back around at her.
Line 168:
** Electra has them too.
** {{spoiler|Eusine}} also uses a knife.
* [[The Ladette]]: Green, which makes her constant "[[Tomboy]]" insults to Misty all the more ironic. (Note that this is ''just'' her personality--unlikepersonality—unlike the trope description, she dresses and attempts to be feminine--itfeminine—it's just that she's, well, crude, rude and aggressive, not to mention greedy as can be. And doesn't even bother to remember anyone's name other than Ash.)
** According to the Chapter 136 preview, she also fits the "drinking" aspect, as she was the first to suggest booze. And in the chapter itself, she pretty much forces the liquor on everyone, not to mention challenges Misty to a [[Drinking Contest]].
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Frequent, often as references to the anime (or occasionally, [[Dragonball Z|other anime]]).
Line 216:
** Also {{spoiler|Pikachu's "Thunderstone Evolution"}} technique temporarily gives her a mature {{spoiler|"Raichu"}} form...but when it's used up, she reverts to a {{spoiler|"Pichu"}} form that's even younger-looking than ''[[Token Mini-Moe|Chibi]]''.
* [[One-Book Author|One Fic Author]]: Mr. Panda.
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Maintained as long as they're in their own world...but when they get into the string of [[Crossover|crossoverscrossover]]s, [[Cardcaptor Sakura|all bets]] [[Naruto|are off]].
* [[The Only One Allowed to Insult You]]: Green gets mad at Hikaru for using the exact same insults that she normally uses towards [[Tomboy|Misty]].
* [[Operation: Jealousy]]: Misty repeatedly does this to Ash--firstAsh—first with Yoshi (the player character from Gold/Silver/Crystal), then with "Data" (the [[Final Fantasy VII|Cloud Strife]]-[[Expy]] they meet in the video game world {{spoiler|who turns out to be the final boss}}), and then with {{spoiler|Ritchie}}.
* [[Orphaned Series]]: Though clocking in at an impressive 173 chapters, it's still far from over and hasn't been updated since December 2007.
* [[Out of Focus]]: The Pokémon themselves. The Guardians use their own powers to battle and capture the Pokémon, so there are no true Pokémon battles.
Line 283:
*** Chapter 136 contradicts this, as when they try to figure out her age, Sakura says she looks to be about 16. Guess she's just flat.
* [[Tragic Villain]]: Any member of the Evil Guardians that wants to repent but is afraid to go against Guardia probably counts, but {{spoiler|Bigu}} is a particularly notable example due to spending much of the second half of the story [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|not committing any evil acts]] and hoping that Guardia won't notice that {{spoiler|she's forsaken her Evil Guardian duties in order to live a quiet life in Pallet Town with Mrs. Ketchum. Essentially, she's a more prolonged version of Molly from the third movie.}} Also Neriko, after she falls in love with Dash.
** Unfortunately for {{spoiler|Bigu}}, Guardia is the ''Psychic'' Evil Guardian--naturallyGuardian—naturally he knows the truth.
* [[Trapped in TV Land|Trapped In Video Game Land]]: The end of chapter 106 has the Guardians sucked into a video game world as a result of Butch and Cassidy's machine. In order, we see Dash and Brock in a [[Platformer]] (specifically, a [[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Super Mario Bros]] parody), Sakura in a [[TPS|shooter]] (one with online multiplayer, at that), Chibi in a [[Rhythm Game]], Tracey in a [[Shoot'Em Up]] (multiple lines from [[Zero Wing]] appear, as does "[[Star Fox (series)|Do a barrel roll!]]"), Todd in a sort of combined [[Stealth Based Game|stealth]]/[[Adventure Game|logic puzzle]] game, Ritchie and Katana in a [[Dating Sim]] (Ritchie's the protagonist, and all of the female Guardians are "present", but Katana's the only one that's from the real world), Kai in (what else?) a [[Fighting Game]] (mostly parodying ''[[Street Fighter]]'', with [[Shotoclone|fighters named Kyu and Ren and a move called the Ripoffdouken]], but it ends with "[[Mortal Kombat|FINISH HIM!]]"), Jessie {{spoiler|and Butch}} in a ''[[Grand Theft Auto (series)|GTA]]''-[[Expy]], James and the mascots {{spoiler|and Cassidy}} in an obvious ''[[Ocarina of Time]]''-[[Expy]], Pikachu in...some bizarre [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]/VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry/[[Racing Game|kart racing]]/pinball mash-up that was also an [[Escort Mission]], Gary and Mitsumi in a [[Survival Horror]] game, and finally everyone in an [[RPG]] (with Ash as the [[Heroic Mime]]--Misty—Misty and Green, the only other two that hadn't already been in a game, were in his party, while the others all ended up together somewhere else). The RPG takes four chapters; the others all take one. (The last chapter of the RPG also features Jigglypuff as [[Kirby]].)
* [[Truman Show Plot]]: Chapter 149, an ''[[Amazing Race]]'' parody.
* [[Try Not to Die]]: Chapter 129:
