History Fanfic / InfinityTrainBlossomverse

** [[Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS Specter]] whom the author has a fondness over. He appears as a character in ''Knight of the Orange Lily'' and expies exist in some capacity in the trilogy.
** Female focus. Girls in the trilogies shape the actions of others and the stories also take a look at how girls get unfair treatment in the Pokémon world.
** References to ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' are also very frequent.

* CreatorsCultureCarryover: The writers are westerners writing characters set in a Japanese-originating series, and thus the views the narrative often addresses, such as in regards to therapy and bullying, matches far more towards the western views on the topic than the japanese viewpoint.

* DemographicDissonantCrossover: While the main focus is on the family-friendly Pokémon and the more mature story-filled but marketed for kids ''Infinity Train'', they later start crossing over with other darker series like ''Franchise/SilentHill'', ''Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS'' and ''Voyage of Wisteria Wisteria'' has a car based on ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel''.

* FeministFantasy: While Chloe is the sole female who has adventures on the Train, ''Blossoming Trail'' is focused through her lens in her role of "female who is forced to join with Ash", with many important characters from both the Pokémon world and Train being female. Whether they be the ones who instigate the plot (Lillie) or support (Lampetia, Amelia, Hazel) or even the bad guys whose actions cause everything to transpire (Amelia again, and Grace).

* FoodPorn: There are a ''lot'' of scenes involving food, some justified (Mallow's family runs a restaurant) and some more because of Green Phantom Queen being a foodie.
* FountainOfExpies: Along with AuthorAppeal but there seem to be a lot of Specter expies with [[FlyingBooks Lexi]], [[ShockAndAwe Easter]] and [[DreamWeaver Zeno]]. They usually share similar traits:
** Light-colored hair and blue eyes and dressed up in white/silver. There is also a tendency to focus on their eyes.
** Usually have chips on their shoulders or kooky personalities, with a tendency to smile a lot.
** Are (usually) on the side of good but their sinister appearances make them more CreepyGood and fall under LightIsGood or LightIsNotGood.
** Are human in appearance but not in species with unique abilities (Lexi is a book, Easter is a lightning bolt, Zeno is a dream construct)
** Act as advisors but tend to cause AdviceBackfire and can be somewhat pushy.
** Has a tendency to get critically injured and lash out at others (Lexi was torn apart by the Apex, Easter was kicked out of a window by Specter himself) due to this.
** Their forms were "created" by someone else (Chloe drew and folded Lexi into her "Specter of the Black Forest", Easter was a lightning bolt before fusing with Specter, and Zeno is a dream construct wished up by Parker).

* GoodIsNotNice: If theres's a character on the side of the heroes who can actually [[GoodIsImpotent do something of value]], they'll tend to be a JerkWithAHeartOfGold ''at best'', and an utter jerk at worst.

* CreatorThumbprint: The various writers have some key ticks that can let you determine who is writing what section of a story, for example a section written primarily by Green typically includes food porn, torture porn, horror elements and references, wrestling references, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers a constant reference to Specter...]]

!!This trilogy as a whole features the following examples:

* DeathByAdaptation: Spinoffs will occasionally kill a major character off from the main series to establish business or a very different scenario. Examples include Ogami in ''Crocus'', the Apex and Lexi in ''Crown of Thorns'', and Chloe herself in ''Cherry Bloodlines'' (albeit the one of the previous timeline) and ''Star Finder'' (prior to the events of the story).

** ''Cherry Prince And Princess'' ([[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13937019/1/ link]]): An additional story in the A.U that focuses on Ash and Acerola.

* ''Blossomverse: Post-Gameshow-Goes-Missing'' ([[https://archiveofourown.org/works/47659252 link]]): A A.U sequel to both ''Game Show'' and ''Ash Goes Missing'' where both happened simultaneously and Goh wakes up a week later. Written by Cross.

* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainStarFinder'': Cowritten by [=CookieGHD=] and Creator/Exotos135. This story [[{{Pun}} stars]] [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse Stella Zhau]]. This story also features the Pokémon world (the events happen before the story) and a dead Chloe.
** ''Infinity Train: Coded Tulips'' ([[https://archiveofourown.org/works/40723929 link]]): A side-story involving Tulip Olsen after Book 1, she wants to research the train and former passengers to make sure that no one else ends up there. Written by [=CookieGHD=].

[[folder:General trope examples (shared with the ''Blossoming Trail'')]]

* ''Infinity Train: Amour de lis'' ([[https://archiveofourown.org/works/39335940/chapters/98440302 link]]): A ForWantOfANail with two notable changes: [[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesXY Miette]] entering the Train before Serena makes her debut in canon, and a ChangelingTale twist to Chloe's presence on the Train. Written by Creator/Exotos135.

* RunningGag: Several Exotos-written side stories have Goh mention the Suicune was a 'really unusual Ditto'.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: The Team Rocket Trio break it in ''Mother of Pearl'' about how they are quite happy they are usually DemotedToExtra during the Infinity Train mess in the Blossomverse and don't want to be dragged into it.

* DemotedToExtra: Just like how some characters get the AscendedExtra treatment, some others get this instead.

*** '''Game-Show-Goes-Missing'' combines the two into happening at the same time, while adding to them Goh capturing an Iron Bundle, a Pokemon considered in-universe to be even rarer than Mew.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/2415061 Infinity Train: Blossomverse]]'' is a trilogy of {{Crossover}} fanfics of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain'' written by Creator/GreenPhantomQueen with added help by co-writers Creator/{{ShadyMissionary}} and Creator/{{Crossoverpairinglover}} of ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines''.

** How strong a grip the Train has on its passengers also depends on the writer. In Green's take, the Infinity Train has a near absolute grip on them, with only some sort of unexpected accident giving the passengers a chance to leave early, otherwise being stuck on the Train until their number goes down. While Shady and Exotos follow this idea for the most part, Cross instead has it so that the technology of the Pokemon World allows them to ''outright pluck the passenger out before intended'', with it more often than not only not happening because the characters didn't want to. He also created the concept of 'Golden Letters', a counterpart to the traditional numbers that are used by visitors who come to the Infinity Train on their own will to rescue others from the train that allow others to travel to it on their own, and ''Akuma Numerology'' showed that Kwami powers can both trap people on the Infinity Train who had no business being sent there and allow Kwami and train originating items to travel to and from the Infinity Train via Marinette's Yo-Yo.

** Goh frequently is thrown a lot of slack in stories outside of the core stories and Crocus. This can raise from being praised for his efforts at finding Chloe and reducing the slander he gets (such as in ''Gameshow'') to shifts repelling the blame game before it can get going (as in ''Zinnia'').

** The wresting related characters tend to be absent in non-Green stories, with their cars and origins at most referenced off handily as little easter eggs and references.

* ThrowTheDogABone: In a general sweeping sort of way, nearly every story beyond the core three treats Ash far better than he was in Blossoming Trail. The only exceptions are Melancholy Afterlife, which was written by Green Phantom Queen herself and is one of ''several'' things not retained when the story reaches the modern-day of Boiling Point, and ''Seeker of Crocus'' following Green Phantom Queen's fuller participation as co-writer.

** * ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/42852819 Blossomverse: The Chloe Respite Car]]'', A one-sot inspired by Milkshake Bar featuring a meeting of Chloes based on various Blossomverse stories that takes itself more seriously. Co-written by Cross and Exotos.

** ''Mother of Pearl'' clearly goes into the discussed concept of Parker getting off easy and makes it clear just how screwed he (and his family by association) would be if the full weight of the law and public opinion came down on him.

* ArmedWithCanon: Chances are that if a story is written by Crossoverpairinglover, it'll typically use the canon anime in order to contradict a couple of facts established in the original trilogy, chief among them being the idea that the Infinity Train is impossible to trespass or escape without getting your number down to zero.

* AdaptedOut: Given the sheer number of characters, events, plot points, and so on in the original trilogy, it's only natural that some of these won't be carried over to certain stories in the expanded universe.

** ''Chloe Respite Car'' builds on ideas mentioned in stories like ''Orange Rose Gathering'', ''Mother of Pearl'', and ''Ash Goes Missing'' to deconstruct several common aspects of the Infinity Train.
