Here I am again. 

It's very shocking how much can change in a year. Due to my evolution, I forgot entirely about a journal, and didn't remember for an entire year. Tons of stuff happened. 

First off, there's Oshawott. Well, Dewott now. He followed in my footsteps and evolved a week after me. 

Then there's Milly. In a year, she's grown enormously in more than one way. She's now a formidable trainer with many gym badges (some of which I paid a hand, or paw, in winning). She now is trying to raise sufficient funds to travel to regions further away to battle out there. 

I have been spending lots of time with Glaceon, and now that I've evolved, things have progressed considerably in that particular relationship. She's still as beautiful as ever ♥♥♥.

But there are definitely enough lumps in the potatoes to balance out the good. Sylveon are very popular, in part because of their scarcity. It is because of this that I have been a target of local teams. In fact, Milly was offered an invitation to join one on account that she had a Sylveon. She liked the general idea, but it interfered with her lifestyle; she wanted to go solo to win the badges. I was almost stolen once, but thank Arceus that Dewott was a light sleeper. He swung something heavy and whacked the guy over the head, then went to awaken Milly. I was in a Pokeball the entire time, so I couldn't do anything. 

By the way, Dewott got a nickname. Because of his obsession with the Samurai arts, Milly endowed his name with the warrior suffix -maru. How he's Dewmaru. We teased him about it a little, but eventually the name stuck and we now use it all the time. 

Milly finally learned to make decent Pokepuffs. It's a relief to us all.

The feelers are very convenient. Along with feeling in general, I can use them as an extra pair of paws. I can pick stuff up, tie up Dewmaru, and a host of other delightful things, including writing. I'm glad that I was able to find another journal; I feel like something big is soon to happen. I hope its something nice! 

Tomorrow, then!
