However, during the course of the competition, they start to see the good in each other. Maybe one gets injured and the other helps out, or they accidentally create a new and amazing recipe together. This unexpected turn of events leads to them falling in love.
A plot could revolve around a mysterious object that appears in the 'Expect the Unexpected' world. This object has strange powers that start to affect the characters in unexpected ways.

The discovery and exploration of this object could lead to conflicts between different groups of characters, as well as self - discovery for the main characters.

Another option is that the trainer discovers a hidden power within themselves that allows them to communicate with Pokémon in a special way during their solo travels, leading to many unique adventures.
Another plot idea could be delving deeper into the backstories of the characters. Maybe one of them has a secret that could either help or hinder the journey home. This could add a lot of depth and drama to the fanfic.
