And now for the final part of the Friend Swap AU, the Journeys seasons! Here, Ash’s partner in research is Tracey, and they are even further accompanied by Bonnie, who is in Chloe’s role.
Ash already knows of Professor Cerise because of what Chloe told him and Goh is still helping him. In addition, Bonnie is present because Clemont is also a research assistant. And, just like in canon, Ash also reunites with the rest of his traveling companions at various points. Any further headcanons?
Ooooo ok
Ash was kind of excited to partake in some research, especially since Chloe told him about her dad’s research and him needing another assistant. He was kind of surprised that Goh and Clemont were both there as well!
Though he spent the most time with Tracey and Clemont’s sister Bonnie, who really looked up to him. Ash and Tracey promised Clemont they’d keep an eye on her.
Tracey was more into the research in order to further his own skills, but enjoyed that he was able to help out with all of the field research. Bonnie was just glad to learn more about pokemon!
They had to go a lot of different places for their research, and Ash somehow always ended up running into one of his old friends. He was glad to see all the parts of the world again!
Anything he could learn that would help him become a pokemon master, he would take. And that definitely meant learning from the people around him, too, who all had different perspectives of the world.

this might already exist (and if it does please send it my way i want to read it) but XY AU where language barriers exist.
Ash is fluent in Japanese and has decent Galarian (Iris and Cilan helped fill in a lot of gaps from school).
Serena is Kalosian but went out of her way to learn Japanese after that summer camp.
Clemont is fluent in Kalosian, has passable Galarian, and knows enough Paldean and Japanese for challengers (but usually uses a translation tool anyway. which is currently stuck in the gym thanks to Clembot).
Bonnie only knows Kalosian and a couple random Galarian phrases.
i might make loose comic thoughts on it but like. ash shows up in kalos with 0 knowledge of the language aside from MAYBE a few basic things from Alexa like "hello" and "i want to battle". two people with wildly different accents trying to speak the same secondary language until serena shows up and can more effectively communicate some thoughts that get lost in translation. bonnie and ash half-miming to communicate early on but still getting equally excited about pokemon things. an extra layer of "ash does not know miette is flirting with him" cause she thinks he knows at least some kalosian. do you see my vision

Tada!!
Here are the designs for Bonnie, Clemont, and Serena in my post-canon fanfic, Restarting At Letter A! It takes place 3 to 3 1/2 years after the Kalos Crisis, and it can be read here!
I may make detailed pages for each of them, one day. In the meantime… Design notes under the cut!
Bonnie:
The Friend Ball hat is a birthday gift from Ash! It says “Champ in the making” on the inside of the cap.
The Zygarde skirt is also a birthday gift, from Valerie!
Not pictured, but when she wears her bag (gift from Ramos), its shoulder strap and her suspenders make a sideways Z.
Serena helped her put together the rest of the outfit.
Her hair’s length is inspired by Serena.
Additionally, she has a ponytail coming through the back, and it is vaguely lightning bold shaped.
Clemont:
Bonnie put the patches on his legs because she wanted to learn to sew, thanks to Serena’s influence.
Patches are: Luxray tail stars, Heliolisk frills, high voltage road sign, trans flag (color picked from his official game art lol), and a cherri berry.
His hair is shorter now (always tie your long hair back when in a hazardous work space).
Yes all the buttons have specific purposes. His bag has been upgraded to have two Aipom Arms (Ambipom). I’ll release the chart with the character page.
Voltage Badge because he’s a proud gym leader.
Serena:
Blue ribbon from Ash.
She is super duper fashionable and slay.
Also, she’s 5,8”, just fyi
The flowers embroidered on her coat have multiple meanings. Pink tulips for feminism, gladiolus for strength of character, etc etc. The sunflower and daisies are for Clemont and Bonnie.
She has the same bracelet she had as part of her casual outfit in Journeys, inspired by Aria. The blue gemstone on her necklace is from the bejeweled belt she wore for Hoenn’s contest lives.

Headcanons for Max and Bonnie meeting and going on a journey together when they’re a little older?
reminds me of a fic chapter I wrote back in like. 2017 <3
Max and Bonnie both wanted to be able to prove themselves in their home regions. It was because of that that they decided to start their journeys in Sinnoh instead.
When they met each other, they weren’t exactly the closest of friends. In fact, they irritated each other. A lot. But beneath that there was some amount of caring, enough that they decided to travel together.
They were rivals of sorts, and were very eager to call it that. After all, they were both taking on the gym challenge in order to become strong enough to fully prove themselves!
That led to a lot of bantering between them as they developed different strategies for battling. Then again, they also took a lot of inspiration from what they learned from Ash and their siblings.
Even though they did sometimes argue…they could both admit that it was nice to be forming those memories with each other. Bonnie and Max both had unique experiences they had that helped the other out.
