Ok, so I'm nearing the end of Volume 1 in my first fan fic, and I want the main character to go to a new region for volume 2. I also would like the character to swap out all of his pokemon, for natives of the next gen (which will be a canon region, possibly Kanto or Hoenn), but I don't know how to make a believable reason to leave his other pokemon behind. I don't watch the anime a lot, so how does Ash usually do it? Keep in mind, this doesn't inclue his starter, only his other five party pokemon.
In short, I want him to keep the pokemon, but not take them to the next region. I guess I should say, the pokemon will stay with the regional professor, but I need a reason why they are, nt just "I want new pokes, you guys are old and boring.". Anyway, if you can help, I thank you!
