What? Isn't the right time for this because Ash's farewell as a protagonist of the anime was a short time ago? Oh Well... you will overcome this someday.

ANYWAY! Despite being released soon after, this model isn't related to Kirisuna (believe me), this one is an older idea. A little context for those who are confused (Links below may have "some" NSFW content, proceed with caution), this is also credits for the idea.

▼▼▼CONTEXT STARTS HERE▼▼▼

This is obviously the fusion of Ash Ketchum and Dawn. Why? Good question... But this is more common than you think. Some people believe that Dawn has the best synergy with Ash compared to all other companions because they have similar personalities, as if Dawn were Ash's coordinator counterpart and this is more or less recognized in Pokémon Journeys with Alt. Ash and Alt. Dawn switching roles. Perhaps that's the reason. I honestly never saw them that way, as Dawn always struck me as too "feminine" and "vain with looks" to be compared to Ash's "sloppy" personality. But if it serves as an excuse to merge the two, who am I to say the opposite?

The oldest example on the internet about this idea is from 2020 with TSFSingularity's web comic. The story is about Mewtwo suddenly using its powers to merge Ash and Dawn, in this version Ash is in control of the body while Dawn's mind can do nothing but to experience Ash's actions. It's an interesting comic at first but becomes lame in the second half because just becomes a standard Ash and Dawn hentai with the fusion losing the story focus.

However, according to TSFSingularity, the idea is even older and comes from an art of Rhaokja. I never found this art, so I don't know how it is and its date.

Some time later, hide1001 came up with the same idea. hide1001's gallery is focused on fusions, not always the most unorthodox ones, the majority are pretty normal with female-female fusions, but some examples between Ash and Dawn appeared here and there but it had its first main role in the 2021 "comic" with the rough translate title "Beware of Hex Maniac when exploring the ruins", is a story using screenshots from the game Koikatsu! and it's about Ash and Dawn getting lost in the ruins of a city, they end finding a crazy Hex Maniac who casts a spell on them that consequently merges their bodies creating a new entity called "Satori", hence the name (Satoshi + Hikari. I have no idea how "Ash" and "Dawn" would be), unlike TSFSingularity's version, Satori is apparently a combination of their personalities rather than one of them being in control.

The idea is interesting but unfortunately all the dialogues are in Japanese. A version for western audience was posted on hide1001's deviantart, but without the dialogues, which doesn't help much. Google translator did a mediocre job for me to understand the context: Sounds like a story of Ash promising to protect Dawn, but ends up failing when they find the Hex Maniac and that leads the two ending in this situation with their bodies merging into this new person... A bit tragic, isn't it? Or a bit Jojolion.

I don't know if hide1001 was directly inspired by the TSFSingularity version, but sounds like it because both versions of "Satori" are very similar physically, with the difference that the TSFSingularity version has Dawn's blue eyes while hide1001's version has Ash's brown eyes, the latter is a bit more equal in traits distribution between Ash and Dawn.

But overall it's pretty much a slight tan Dawn with lines on her cheeks, spiky locks on the sides of the hair that are reminiscent of Ash's hair and is herm (The big breasts apparently came as a fusion "boost" in both cases). Both versions are technically that physically.

Now to what really matters.

[V2]

This model is a little better. It's still a little difficult to keep the correct clothes and can generate random different ones, especially Dawn's dress. Only the cap can maintain itself consistently regardless. But the quality of the images is much better now, being able to generate several scenarios instead of insisting on the same ruined city.

[V1]

I make it clear that this model is pretty bad, the worst I've done so far. There weren't enough resources for the character, even trying to complement it with some Dawn and Ash artworks for at least the clothes to be consistent. The result was bad no matter how many repeats and epochs I put in.

The only reason I decided to post this model is because it becomes much more acceptable if you put large steps to generate the image. A few steps like 20~30 will inevitably always generate a image with messy face. On the other hand, you don't need to lower the weight much, 0.9 already generates images in good quality, but maybe you have to lower it a little more if you want a better variation on scenarios (Putting "hxruins" in the negative prompt also helps).

"ash's cap" leaves Satori's hair the way it should be, but without the hat the image can sometimes misinterpret the spiky hair as some sort of "french braid". "ash's cheek marks" technically should make the cheek marks show up, but instead it just makes the face look messy, the results are better without it.

If I find a solution to improve this model, maybe I'll bring a V2, but don't keep expectations. For now, if you can, show some love for our little... Girl...? Boy...? Our little trainer and coordinator from Pokémon world!
