Almost anyone who's written a Pokémon fanfic has no say in how the show is written, and therefore his or her claim means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
That's not quite true as they need some structure from the show and they take certain aspects of the show and use them as so called "side story" or "alternate universe". So IMO they do since they relay somewhat on the show for ideas.
