I was annoyed of the SatoGoh bromance and wanted just ONE story where Chloe and Goh were friends. I really couldn't take it.įanfiction wasn't helping either no one else brought it up and there was only ONE fanfic that had a Chloe focus and even then it didn't focus on Chloe and Goh's friendship. I was fuming and pissed and ranting and yet NO ONE could see the sexism and double standard that was in the anime except me. And it came to me that the writer just wrote her out as an excuse to focus on Ash and Goh. And while it was mitigated with her mother telling her not to be pushed to do something she didn't like, when Chloe appears again in Chapter 17, she again REFUSES to go explore with Ash and Goh. So apparently Chloe is only liked, people are only interested in her if she loves Pokémon, and her best friend doesn't even give any attention to her. NO ONE lets her speak and then one girl is like "Wait, you hate Pokémon?"Īnd that set off my "I hate double standard" buttons like no other. Like they don't even given Chloe a chance to talk they immediately declare that Chloe loves Pokémon, she'll follow her father's job, she's a good battler, she has lots of mons. But when Chloe slowly rises up, what do they do? He just goes, "My life is a work in progress!" with a big grin on his face, leaning back, arms on the back of his head. You should know more about her! Is this her major flaw?!Īnd then when we cut to Chloe at school, it's the typical "What are your plans for the future?" The first person who speaks is the boy behind her, Yeardley. That set me off like no other so Chloe's just "not into Pokémon"? That's ALL you know about her? You're her friend. "Well, she just stopped liking Pokémon one day". When she runs away, Ash asks what's wrong with her. Meanwhile, it focuses on Chloe's day where her mother helps her braid her hair, where it's revealed that Yamper is only loyal to Chloe and then we have her very brief interactions with Ash and Goh. Episode 11 is when a Gengar starts wreaking havoc in the Cerise Institute Goh and Ash's role is to attempt to capture it but they won't and Gengar ends up being defeated after a measly Spark from Yamper. Let me explain for those who haven't watched it. But after TEN episodes with her, the only things I got was: 1) she doesn't like intereacting with others, 2) she refuses to join Ash and Goh with their adventures, 3) Goh ignores her texts and 4) why is the Professor not even INTERACTING with his daughter?Īnd then, Episode 11, Chloe's first focus episode, had. Goh's dynamic was cute but as the episodes went on and I saw Chloe, I was hearing that she "worked for her father" and she's "friends with Goh". By then I was interested in the Gen 8 version of the anime and the new characters Goh and Chloe. The mystery, the characters, the adorable corgis! And then after watching Book 1 and 2, I wanted to make my own fanfic about it, but I had no clue where to begin.Īt the same time that I got into watching Book 2, Pokémon Journeys started airing. When I saw the pilot for Infinity Train, about three years ago, I fell in love. So before I post the newly edited chapter, let me get into the background of this story. I also want it to make it easier for people to make omakes, side-stories, debates, fan-art, you name it, I'll accept it. I am the writer on AO3 of the Pokémon/Infinity Train crossover, Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail and decided to upload the story here - with new editing to fix up stuff prior - to the SpaceBattles community. Hi there, the name is Green Phantom Queen.
