* AdaptationalBadass: Pretty much the entire main cast.
** Ash becomes a lot more competent as a Trainer and a person [[spoiler:espeially when Riley starts training him as an Aura Guardian]].
** Misty's new Pokémon (Vaporeon, Surskit) give her a lot of room to grow as a character.

* BashBrothers: Ash and Misty have become particularly close battle partners over the course of this story, with their team-ups using Charizard and Gyrados (when they need raw power) or Grotle and Vaporeon (when they want a more balanced approach).

* RaisedByHumans: Played with for [[spoiler:Ash's Riolu (due primarily to the bond they share through Ash's Aura)]] and Misty's Azuril, who each see Ash and Misty as their parents, [[spoiler:to the point that Riolu was surprised to meet his ''biological'' father]]; after [[spoiler:Riolu learns to talk, he freely refers to Ash and Misty as 'Daddy' and 'Mommy', only amending it to 'Dad' and 'Mom' after he evolves]].

** [[spoiler: When Anabel returns in the Twinleaf Festival arc, she mentions the same thing, but denies that the Brain in question is her, given her crush on Ash which she is now over. She still doesn't say who the real Brain in love is though.]]

* KickTheDog: [[TheRival Paul]], [[{{Jerkass}} Paul]], [[RuleOfThree dear]] [[KnightOfCerebus Lord,]] [[SmugSnake Paul]]. He does this even more than he does in canon, including pushing Misty around, insulting Maylene to Candice's face, and [[spoiler: orders his Magmortar to backhand Ash's baby Riolu and insult it after Magmortar's [[NoKillLikeOverkill point-blank Flamethrower]] charred Sceptile almost beyond recognition.]]

* UnnecessaryRoughness: [[spoiler: Paul has no qualms doing this during his and Ash's Full Battle at Lake Acuity. [[{{Understatement}} The results are not pretty]].]]

** Brad, a comedian who shows up in chapter 13.

** Ash can carry 8 Pokémon, which is impossible in both the anime and games, but his bigger party makes his battles easier.

* OneExtraMember: Two, actually. In Chapter 15, it's revealed that participants in the Sinnoh League such as Ash can carry up to 8 Pokémon at a time to make things easier for Trainers.
