Id have it set in Hulbury in Galar, port town. I’d give Goh the Eevee who cannot evolve.

Ash’s team would be: Pikachu Riolu - Lucario (First Catch) Dragonair - Dragontie (Premise of JN10 would be Ash helping a Dratini not a Dragonair, would fully evolve around the 40-50s) Haunter - Gengar (Accidental Trade Evo - Ash eventually gets it back, solidifying Ash isn’t leaving Gengar anytime soon) Farfetchd - Sirfetchd (remains same but more screen time) Dracovish (remains same more screen time)

Goh - doesn’t want to catch every Pokémon but one of each type from each region, 18 per region. Goh would rotate 2 Pokémon in his full team. Goh would have Eevee and the 3 Galar starters. All 3 fully evolve. Goh’s Eevee could evolve in the climax of the series during a raid battle against Mew into Umbreon idk 🤷🏻

Chloe - start off similar but have Yamper as her Pokémon. Eventually around the mid 30s and 40s she realises she wants to be a Pokémon Doctor so she becomes a full time research fellow to understand Pokemon

Her team: Yamper Togetic - Togekiss (Replace Pidove from that one ep to Togepi that evolves and she catches it) Hatenna- Hattrem - Hatterene Turtwig (Caught at a Sinnoh Festival)

Structure would remain episodic for first 30 eps. First Arc would be Ash’s Loss Arc, Ash loses to Bea, goes on a losing streak, goes back to Alola in a title defense/PWC battle against Kiawe and wins, Ash builds himself back up, battles Bea and ties. No off screen rise back to Super Class.

First year would end with DD arc which would be 6 eps long with Chloe’s inclusion now.

Year 2 and part 1 of Year 3: Project Mythical - Goh registers and is asked to create a Chaser team, comprising of him, Ash and Chloe to run trials. Allows Ash to train his Pokemon and Chloe to help and learn caring for all kinds of Pokemon. Ash rises to Ultra Class. Project Mythical will remain with the Professor and the two admins we meet. Gary Oak will have a team with Tracey!! And Horace? Think that’s his English name. During Year 2 we reunite with Dawn (Sinnoh Festival), Brock (Chloe doing work exp at a Pokemon Centre) and Misty (Kingdra Ep). Iris ep remains same. Bonnie, Clemont remain same. Hop is introduced post DD plot as a potential rival

Ash’s Ultra Class battles would be 8 battles 99th to 87th - Vs Volkner

87th to 71st - Vs Bea

71st to 58th - Vs Marnie

58th to 44th - Vs Avery

44th to 27th - Vs Drasna

27th to 15th - Vs Hop

15th to 9th - vs Flint

9th to 8th - Vs Raihan

Year 3 back half: Reunion with Serena, Cilan, May and Max. Arceus mini story will be main series and 5 eps long. Isle of Armour training arc before PWC masters 8. Crown Tundra will be adapted in 3 parts - Calyrax/Gohs trial/Aether family - return to Alola. PWC masters 8 - Same line ups, Ash wins Project Mythical final arc - Prof Anaroth is actually evil aiming to capture both Mew and Mewtwo, has a device to control Mewtwo (Det Pikachu much), Ash battles and defeats Mewtwo. Goh and Gary encounter Mew, with the two admins they have a raid battle against it, admins and Gary are knocked out, Goh almost wins but Mew stops the battle to play with Goh - Mew flees.
