Keep reading to learn more about some of the most popular Pokémon fanfictions.
1. Izuku used Struggle!
In this first story, we get a crossover with My Hero Academia.
These two worlds work quite well together, and the author does a great job of joining them in interesting and unique ways.
As you may infer from the title of this story, the main character we focus on here is Izuku.
In this story, he has a very interesting quirk.
Everyone has quirks, but his seems to set him apart from just about everyone else.
His quirk summons Pokémon.
He is only able to summon a certain few Pokémon, and they only hang around for a short amount of time, but this does not make his quirk any less interesting.
This story has plenty of struggles and trials, but it is also full of humor.
This unique crossover story will have you laughing and feeling sad, sometimes within moments of each other. It is not one that you want to miss.
2. Movies with Karkat
This next story is vastly different from the previous one, but that is part of what makes this genre so interesting and exciting.
There is a bit of adult content in this story, so make note of that before you decide to read.
This story is another crossover, this time with characters from Homestuck.
We see Damara and Karkat and some of their many adventures in their world.
There are quite a few other worlds that cross over into this story simply due to the premise.
In this fanfic, Karkat hosts a weekly movie night and invites friends from far and wide to attend.
Each week he has his movie night, and he instantly regrets his decision to host it.
This story reads much like a play, with large chunks of dialogue and very little other information.
It is a different take on fanfiction, and it makes for an exciting read.
3. Tony Stark, Pokemon Trainer
As you may have guessed from the title of this story, this is another crossover between two worlds.
In this story, we find out what happens when Tony Stark becomes a Pokémon trainer.
Though this may not seem like a crossover that you would ever expect, it turns out to be a really fun and interesting story.
We get appearances from many different Marvel characters and see some of our favorite Pokémon running around, too.
Throughout this story, Tony Stark builds two Pokémon for Lila and Cooper to use as bodyguards.
However, the kids do not like them and think that Tony is rather lame for creating them.
If you are looking for a story that has Tony Stark showing emotion and having feelings, this is the one for you.
We see how misunderstood this strong man is and how he deals with the hardships and trials that face him.
4. Misery Loves Company
In this Pokémon fanfiction, we branch into the world of Pokémon video games.
Hikari is the main character of this story, and we get to see how she deals with many different and trying situations.
She thinks that she is alone in her struggles, but she is not alone.
Into is there by her side, and together they work through many of life’s struggles.
It is a sweet story about friendship and trust that will warm your heart.
Despite all of the hardships and trials they face, there is still a lot of hope and love.
This is not a romantic story by any means.
It is more of a familial love, which is just as sweet as romantic love, sometimes even better.
This is a story you won’t want to miss.
5. Rise to the Top
In this crossover Pokémon fanfiction, we again visit the world of My Hero Academia.
There are characters from each of these worlds who come together in one rather mature story.
Be sure to check the content warnings on this story before you dive in, there are some that may not be suitable for all readers.
In this world, children bond with a Pokémon around the age of four, and this bond carries on throughout their entire life.
This bond develops a quirk and the children grow up with it for the rest of their life.
It is rare, but not unheard of for a child not to bond with a Pokémon and develop a quirk.
This story shows what happens to one child who does not receive such a bond.
His happy childhood is turned upside down, and his world comes crumbling in.
This story is rather heartbreaking and may bring up some strong emotions for most people.
That said, it is a well-written story that has many unique qualities that we have not seen in the other stories mentioned so far.
6. To (Create) Them All
Believe it or not, we have another Pokémon and Marvel crossover in this popular fanfiction.
Tony Stark is the key player in this story, but he is not the only Marvel character wandering around this world.
This story has a similar premise to the previous story involving Tony Stark, but the author has a unique writing style and sense of characterization that makes it entirely different.
In this story, Tony Stark agrees to build Pokémon for the Barton children.
Once he does this, he considers the idea that maybe each of the Avengers should have Pokémon, as well.
As you may expect, this leads to interesting situations and exciting experiences for these characters.
There is a lot of humor and sass in this story as you can expect from Tony Stark, but there are also plenty of emotional moments and heartwarming beats to balance it out.
For anyone who is a fan of Marvel and Pokémon, this is a great story to start with.
7. When Worlds Collide
In this Pokémon fanfiction, we are crossing over with the video game, Twisted-Wonderland.
This makes for a fascinating and unique story.
Don’t worry, though, you don’t need to be familiar with the video game to enjoy this story.
It stands on its own as a delightful read without knowing all of the details.
We see some fun relationships emerge between both Pokémon and Twisted-Wonderland characters that make for some unique situations.
This story revolves around Yuu, a young woman who wakes up in Twisted Wonderland.
It is nothing like the world she knows, and no Pokémon can be found.
Yet somehow, the Pokémon keep finding her.
She is stuck in this unfamiliar world but can’t rid herself of her old world.
This is a lighthearted story that will leave you with a smile on your face.
8. Fairy Tail GO!
This story revolves around the popular game Pokémon Go! and many of the characters that we see there.
In this fluffy yet mature story, a young girl is enjoying her time playing this game until she finds herself in harm’s way.
Luckily she is saved by a boy just her age.
In this modern high school world, we all know what happens when an attractive teenage boy saves a teenage girl.
As you may have guessed, this story has heaps of teenage drama.
Heartbreak, romance, and misbehavior cover just about every page of the lengthy story.
There are some mature scenes in this story, but it is generally a very fun high school romance that features Pokémon and plenty of gaming.
9. A Backwards Grin
This popular Pokémon fanfiction starts with a fascinating premise.
What if someone woke up tiny and yellow, and with a second set of jaws, and then they had to navigate what is now an entirely new world?
You can find out the answer to that question in this story.
If you have ever wanted to discover what it would be like to live as a Pokémon, this is your story.
The author of this story does a great job of writing from an interesting perspective, giving a lot of depth and details that many readers may never have considered.
It is a fun story that is much different from any of the others listed here.
It is certainly one that you should not overlook.
10. The Lost Master
The final Pokémon fanfiction we will look at today is a great alternate universe story that features one of our favorite Pokémon trainers, Ash Ketchum.
This story takes place seven years after Ash’s defeat in Sinnoh.
The Champion is defeated in a ruthless battle, but the new champion refuses to release their name or any information about themselves.
Instead, he begins to rebuild the Pokémon league his way.
This is an interesting story that uses a lot of characters from different eras of Pokémon lore.
This is also a long story, but there are so many dramatic twists and turns that make it an interesting one.

Hi Tiffany!
Sorry about that! We must have missed it somehow. I’m sending you an email about it.
