It's been a long time since I made a chapter like this, and I'm delighted to finally be making it. Words cannot describe just how grateful I am for all of your support. I'm absolutely stunned!

As I said, I was planning a surprise for 20k reads, and although I'm over 1k reads late, I'm revealing it now. That surprise is...

A character form!

I've decided to take in a few of your suggestions for characters to add to the story. I know how much a lot of you enjoy the story, and here's your chance to make your mark!

Depending on how many I get, I may have to select a certain few and leave others. Please don't be offended if yours isn't picked; it's nothing personal, I assure you.

On top of that, I'll do a Q&A about anything surrounding the story if you have anything to ask me. I'm very proud to have amazing people like you to support me, and I'd like to give something back to you for that. Feel free to ask me anything (as long as it's reasonable; I'm sure many of you are, but please do keep it clean and polite). I look forward to hearing from you all.

P.S- questions for the Q&A should be posted in the next chapter. By having them all in the same place, I can read and answer all of them quicker to minimise the time before you get your response.

Now, onto the form:

Name-  Rather self explanatory, your Pokemon's name.
Age- Again, speaks more or less for itself. The age of your Pokemon (keep in mind they should be the same age as a college student, so 17-19).
Gender- Is your Pokemon a boy or a girl?
Species- What type of Pokemon in he/she?
Personality: How would you describe them in terms of their attitude, what are their main personality traits?
Appearance- Does your Pokemon have any special features, such as marks or scars? (Please no clothes, they aren't involved in this story)
Likes/dislikes- this can be kept as a brief list. Giving me a few examples of each would be helpful, however.
Backstory- perhaps the most important tab, giving me more detail about your Pokemon will help me visualise them as they are and portray them in the light you're expecting. This and the personality tab will help me see how you want your Pokemon to be presented.

Below are a few simple rules that must be followed in order for your form to be considered. Entering any unnecessary information will make your form invalid and you character will not be included.

Sexuality, turn ons and turn offs aren't necessary, as this isn't that type of book. Entering any any of this information will mean your form will be disregarded. Also, I'd like to encourage a less drastic backstory and personality, and perhaps have a character with a more simple background. They need not be boring, but nothing too extreme. This often means no huge tragedies or anything leaving devastating effects on your character. Also, I won't accept any Alolan or legendary Pokemon, as I'd like to keep the story more realistic (the reason why this makes alolan Pokemon illegible is because there are none within the story so far I don't plan to include any). This applies more to the backstory. I'll address this more as I receive your forms. If your form violates any of these rules, it will not be considered. Feel free to make another if you have your doubts about the validity of yours, and DM me if you have any questions; I'm almost always available if you have any queries.

I look forward to hearing from you all! I'm excited to see what interesting characters you bring to the table and again, thank you all so much. Your support couldn't mean more to me. Thank you for your time, and stay awesome!

Thanks for 20k reads! 🎉
