History Fanfic / AAMLDiamondAndPearlVersion

After a battle with Dawn, Ash rediscovers [[TragicKeepsake Misty's handkerchief]] that she gave him after their adventures together ended, and starts to miss Misty even more than he already does. [[LittleDidIKnow Little did he know]] that Misty missed him as much as he missed her. After some advice from Brock, he realizes that he misses Misty because he loves her, and after he flies to Cerulean City to confess his feelings for her. She thrillingly accepts, and the fic takes the job of remaking the Diamond and Pearl series starting with the Unown and going on from there, sometimes adding new original arcs along the way.

* CommutingOnABus: While Dawn lets Ambipom go with O to train to be a Pokémon Ping-Pong player, O lets Dawn be able to borrow her back for Contests. [[spoiler: Kenny asked O for the favor as a sign of his growing affection for Dawn.]]
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler:Haunter returns to Ash to help him save Misty from Darkrai, and despite its status as ThePrankster, single-handedly takes down a Legendary (albeit through the use of Destiny Bond, which causes Darkrai to faint after it knocked out Haunter)]].
* DarkerAndEdgier: This fic can lean into this from time to time, most notably any chapter where Team Galactic or [[{{TheRival}} Paul]] is involved.
* DespairEventHorizon: Misty hasn’t quite fallen this far, but she’s definitely approaching this point when the fic opens, having become so depressed about her separation from Ash that she has lost focus during some of her battles.

* GodzillaThreshold: Preparing for his battle with Paul at Lake Acuity, Ash not only brings back a few of his old powerhouses rather than relying on his current Sinnoh team, but during the battle [[spoiler:he has to order Snorlax to use Self Destruct to take out Paul's Magmortar]].

-->[[spoiler: '''Ash:''' "I hope you're satisfied with what you've done, Paul. You've proved to me that [[{{JerkWithAHeartOfJerk}} you really don't care about the well-being of Pokémon]]. [[{{TheIdealist}} I always thought to myself that way deep down, you cared about Pokémon, and you really did want to be friends with them]], [[{{WrongSideAllAlong}} but now I see]]. I see that you really ''do'' only see them as tools, and [[{{TheSociopath}} I've never met any trainer that was as cruel to Pokémon as you]]." (...) "I was there when [[{{CurbStompBattle}} Brandon swept you, using only Regirock, Regice, and Registeel to do it]]…you wanna know how I beat him Paul? I beat him because [[{{Determinator}} my Pokémon didn't know the meaning of the word quit, they refused to let me lose]] because [[{{UndyingLoyalty}} they cared about me, and they knew that I cared about them]]. And until you learn that, you'll ''never'' be a true winner like Brandon, no matter ''how'' strong you get." '']]

* TheWorfEffect: During Ash’s gym battle with Candice, [[spoiler:Charizard loses to Abomasnow despite the type advantage, with WordOfGod noting that it would be boring if Charizard could make a clean sweep and justifying this loss as Ash hasn’t spent as much time regularly training with Charizard recently in favor of training some of his newer Pokemon]].

--> [[spoiler: '''Paul:''' ''"[[ShutUpKirk You're a fool.]] [[TheSociopath I do what I need to do in order to win.]] [[TheUnfettered My attacks ensure victory beyond the shadow of a doubt, that's all that's been happening here. If your Pokémon can't take the hits, maybe you should consider a different approach to your training."]]'']]

* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler: Haunter is pissed about Rotom's betrayal. He gets better when Rotom shows Haunter its [[{{ThePlan}} plan]].]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Rotom joins Charon since they were childhood friends, much to Ash's dismay (and Haunter's fury). [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in that Rotom actually proved his true loyalty to Ash by screwing with Team Galactic and plans to come back once he learns how Charon fell in with Team Galactic.]]

* GuestStarPartyMember: Kenny joins the gang after the Twinleaf Festival arc at Misty's insistence for Dawn's sake, and remained with them until [[spoiler:Chapter 75, at which point he left claiming he wanted to focus on training for the Grand Festival without Dawn being able to see his strategies]].

* DarkerAndEdgier: This fic can lean into this from time to time, most notably any chapter where Team Galactic or [[{{JerkSue}} Paul]] is involved.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: Ash becomes a lot smarter over the course of the series. That said, he still doesn't know everything, but is not above seeking help [[spoiler: like asking Max for help on his Full Battle with Paul]].

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5830471/1/AAML-Diamond-and-Pearl-version AAML: Diamond and Pearl Version]] is a Franchise/{{Pokemon}} {{shipping}} Main/FanFiction created on March 20, 2010 by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2223832/EchidnaPower EchidnaPower]] which has gained quite a bit of notoriety in the PokéShipping (Ash and Misty) community.

After a battle with Dawn, Ash rediscovers [[TragicKeepsake Misty's handkerchief]] that she gave him after their adventures together ended, and starts to miss Misty even more than he already does. Little did he know that Misty missed him as much as he missed her. After some advice from Brock, he realizes that he misses Misty because he loves her, and after he flies to Cerulean City to confess his feelings for her. She thrillingly accepts, and the fic takes the job of remaking the Diamond and Pearl series starting with the Unown and going on from there, sometimes adding new original arcs along the way.

* ShesNotMyGirlfriend: Averted. When Team Rocket captures Ash and Misty after they've reunited, the trio makes their usual joke about them being lovebirds, but are surprised when they don't hear the typical vehement denials, making them realize that Ash and Misty are finally a couple for real.

* BullyBrutality: Paul gradually becomes this over time [[spoiler: and ''brutally'' enforces this during his and Ash's Full Battle. Charizard's head was swollen and he may have had his skull dented from Eletabuzz's Thunder Punch, and Magmortar's Flamethrower charred Sceptile's body completely black and ''burned off half his tail.'' Oh yeah, and when Ash's Riolu tried to charge Paul, Magmortar [[WouldHurtAChild brutally backhanded him.]]]]

* SideBet: Apparently, during the Kanto/Orange Island/Johto adventures, Jessie and Meowth had a bet going on whether Ash and Misty would get together.
