lol yeah but aura needs to be taught by a master than he doesn't have at the moment or he can get considering he is in Kanto and traveling to other regions especially ones that don't allow visitors to their borders like Rota is hard ( this is the canon reason why in this fanfic, Austin doesn't go to Rota and get an aura master to teach him plus he doesn't know if movies are canon or not, btw they are )

Yeah firstly Majority of that is your own head canon so let me sprinkle in something from canon and what i have in this fanfic: 1- Ash is canon isn't exactly sponsored by Oak, Sponsorships are mostly a fanon thing, they don't exist in canon. But in this fanfic Ash/Austin is sponsored by Oak, what does that mean? He gets 10k pokedollars monthly ( which is able to feed 6 Pokemon ) and gets a starter. 2- In this fanfic: His extra Pokemon at Oak's ranch are a buisness as Oak can sell like Torus Fur, Charmeleon's discarded claws etc so it's not free of charge and even then it's not like Oak is going to be training the Pokemon, he is just giving them a place to stay. 3- Delia is just a simple restaurant owner in canon, same as in this fanfic. she isn't related to royalty both in fanfic or in canon. that is your own head canon. my advice: take what the story ( fanfic ) gives you as the lore, backstory and this fanfic's background rather than your own head canon or don't, I'll respond to your comments when I see them

Nope, Gary and Blue's Raticate Dying is just a theory a film theory

- Majority of mothers don't want their children to die. - His background is what exactly: Son of a missing father ( not revealing it ) and a woman who runs a restaurant in a small town. Delia didn't give him much of any advantages. - Training from Oak? he had none maybe from the Oak's school but from Professor Oak, none. He was just sponsored by Oak to give him monthly allowance and a starter, that's it. plus let's say Ash did have training from Oak and that would remove his expenses how? Oak isn't going to grant Ash some million dollars for his journey and even then i have added that Ash's 10k was significantly better than what normal trainers have to deal with. you can argue less practical all you want, i chose to add realism to the plot and last time i checked, this is Austin not Ash's journey even then Ash had the help of Misty ( 1 year older trainer ) and Brock while Austin has none so if he struggles with finances alone then it's practical like think of it as this: you have 3 roommates sharing an apartment, you 3 split the bill 3 ways that's easier as opposed to one man doing the bill. I hope this explanation helps.

would have been dope but Meowth is already caught so wouldn't have worked

Eevee aren't exactly found in Viridian forest, even though i had Eevee caught, it was still a cool engagement with the community 😺

the other one is dead. changed from the anime where she is alive for some reason

in WW2, the crate was supplied to the soldiers of the axis powers.

She doesn't die

Next chapter, I am going to explain what items are: Essentially aura exists in everything, but in Pokemon especially their bodies, aura is in excess to the point that you can create effects from certain body parts of Pokemon in the same way a move is done. items are just that, body parts of Pokemon that have excess aura enough to create a move like effect. some items are forever like the king's rock. while items like leftovers is temporary meaning after a month, the aura inside it is used up and it becomes a normal half eaten apple cord. How are leftovers created? you feed apples to Snorlax, out of 10,000 apples, one apple will be imbued with Snorlax's aura and form into the item Leftovers as it crystallizes as a side effect of aura being imbued. The crystallization slowly turns back to normal as the item's aura decrease.

Leftovers are a Held Item that continually restores a Pokémon’s HP when it is not in combat. It activates 8 seconds after leaving combat. It can be upgraded with Item Enhancers to increase the amount of max HP restored overtime.
