You can tell that I'm exceedingly clever at coming up with titles.

You can find the fiction here!

Synopsis:

Samuel Greyson wants to be a Ghost Type specialist, except that’s a little hard to do when living on the small Dewford Island. His mother doesn’t want him to leave on his Pokémon Journey, and there are no Ghost Types nearby that he could easily catch. His ticket out comes from a discovery made while preparing for an impromptu challenge. Armed with impossible knowledge, Sam aims to head out into the world and take his dreams into his own hands.

The Ghost Specialist mixes the world of the Pokémon anime and games to create a more grounded setting, one perfect for a classic, journey-based Pokémon fan fiction. While a more grounded setting warrants more realistic concerns, nothing about it takes away from the inherent cheerfulness that makes Pokémon uniquely Pokémon. This fiction might contain serious moments, but it is not dark. The Ghost Specialist is simply meant to be enjoyable.

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Expect to see a journey across Johto and Kanto, a world set just before Ash Ketchum’s own start, and how modern information (Generation 9+) can be used in a setting with much more limited knowledge. Other than that, you can also expect:

-A weak to strong protagonist.

-Late gen evolutions present in an early gen world.

-A character that earns his successes.

-Friends made along the way.

No growth is immediately handed to Sam. Any development, he needs to work for. The premise of this fiction involves advanced knowledge, but that is still just that: knowledge. For Sam to grow as a trainer, he must figure out how to apply what he learns.

Release schedule: Daily on weekdays. Eventual MWF schedule.

Note: This fiction takes place in the same universe as my previous fiction, The Type Specialist, but it is set several years before. No prior reading is required, and there will be little overlap between the two fictions, if at all.
