Pokémon Master is a Pokémon Dark Fic by Ace Sanchez.
It follows the story of an older Ash (Ashura in-story) and Misty (Mistaria) as they fight with the Resistance against the League in its attempt to bring about the end of the world. Along the way, they deal with elemental powers and their own budding relationship. Any similarities with the show Heroes is coincidental since it was finished in 2002.
Tropes:[]
- Adaptational Badass: Everyone. Yes, even Team Rocket. It seems odd that every last trainer in existence would become some sort of warrior, no?
- After the End: Every city is in near ruins except for one
- Almighty Janitor: Laselle's evolved Caterpie named Flint 'Ditrion', who also happens to be Brock's 'father' Flat What doesn't even begin to describe this Mind Screw...
- Ascended Extra: A lot of anime and game characters ahoy!
- An Ice Person: Lorelei
- Cloning Blues: Gary is a clone of Ash, created by Professor Oak.
- Darker and Edgier
- Dark Fic: The first 'prototype' dark Pokemon fanfic. Now Bloodier and Gorier than the actual series. Sweet dreams.
- Recursive Fanfiction: This series was so popular it caused a lot of other 'fics written about the characters...
- Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Every Master move-set in the fanfic is like this.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Ash
- Dark Fantasy: Has elements of this.
- Destructive Saviour: Places tend to end up burning, crumbling down or exploding in the wake of Ash and his friends. One character lampshades this in episode 10:
 |
Lily: "You know, places that go to hell seem to be quite common when you're around." |

- The Dragon: Lance
- Elemental Powers: The standard first-generation Pokemon elemental powers, plus a few more... Light and Shadow
- Evil Evolves: These Forbidden Pokemon get stronger every chapter, and some of the main characters have trouble fending them off, eventually there is a worldwide epidermic of those Pokemon. Does this remind you of a Zombie apocalypse?
- Expy: A few of the characters are this to 'trainer classes' from the games.
