Title: The Stars and The Ancient Past Verse: anime Rating: PG-13 (may possibly end up as rated R) Characters/Pairings: Paul/ Ash (Comashipping); Professor Oak, Gary Oak, Reggie, Brock, and some characters introduced during the Diamond and Pearl series. Warnings: none I can think of
Summary: Ash returned to Sinnoh after almost four years – not to compete in the region's league, but to accompany Professor Oak who had been invited to conduct a series of lectures – and thought nothing much had changed in the region until he ran into a Pokémon Ranger whose purple hair reminded Ash of someone from his past. After chasing a girl who could throw a mist ball, Ash was thrown back into a flurry of adventure involving a handful of special and Legendary Pokémon, a new bounty hunter, a mysterious scientist and an old rival.
Snippet: Ash rushed over to the riverbank. The young girl he saw earlier was kneeling on the ground, her head bent, hand over the wounded spot on her arm. With cautious steps, Ash approached her, said, "Hey, are you okay?" in a soft, congenial voice.
The girl snapped her head up to look at Ash, her bright amber eyes shining. Then she whirled around at the sound of voices, hollering, "There she is!"
Ash followed her gaze and saw around five men in red and black overall suits. They had their weapons aimed at the girl but she was quick to jump up on her feet and disappear behind the thick cluster of trees.
Two of the men fired their guns but instead of bullets, white beam of light cut through the air, hitting tree trunks.
"Pikachu, thunderbolt!" Ash yelled, raising his hand to gesture at the five men.
Pikachu dashed toward the edge of the river, bellowing, "Pi… ka…chu!" as bolts of electricity shot out from his cheeks, hitting the men before they could even aim their weapons at him.

Artists: Though this is based on anime, the setting is years into Ash's future so I hope for an artist who can draw a quite attractive Ash and Paul in their mid or late teens.
Beta-readers: I am fairly aware of the do's-and-don'ts in creative writing but this is fan fiction and I wish to write in a more lax or lenient way so a beta who won't burst a blood vessel over sentences that start with conjunctions (but, and) will be a dear. And one who can edit a fic using 'track changes' and 'insert comment' (if necessary) in Word will be awesome.
