Chapter 12

(Note: This chapter is in Danny's POV. He and other characters will occasionally have chapters in their POVs, like Margaret, N, and Sky Blue. To be honest, I was close to adding the Pokemon Advance Theme Song to this chapter, but there are already more chapters with media than without. Anyway, happy reading! :3)

The music from Danny's violin seemed to weave all the way through Route 5. His violin was one of his most prized possessions. It even had his name engraved in the wood. After one day of being with mostly strangers (excluding White, Margaret, and Fiona), he needed a break.

His pokemon were outside of their pokeballs. Loopy was swaying to the music, and Samson was digging around in the little snow there was. Danny had named him after a great hero in history. Samson had been a man sent by God to free his people from the Philistines, and had been given powerful strength to do so. He had been able to kill a Pyroar with his bare hands. However, he had fallen in love with a Philistine woman, who had deceived him into telling her his weakness: that his hair could not be cut, or he would lose all his strength. He had been captured after his hair was cut (not to mention that his eyes had been taken out), but he was given enough strength to have a building collapse and kill him and numerous Philistines.

He didn't stop playing his violin until he heard a disturbance in the tall grass. Danny watched as a strange looking pokemon edged out of the bushes. It looked like a medieval sword in a brown sheath. It had a sash on the end of its hilt, which was a dark teal color with a light blue swirl. On its hilt was the pokemon's eye. It seemed curious about the music coming from the violin.

Samson, who had also noticed the newcomer, growled and got one all fours, his lit tail flickering brightly. Loopy merely giggled and stumbled toward the pokemon. The pokemon backed away from her, apparently startled.

Danny knelt down and pulled Loopy back a little before taking his Pokedex out of his coat pocket. He slid it open and held it up at the pokemon. The Pokedex registered it a moment later as a Honedge, the Sword Pokemon. It didn't give any other information.

"Hey, come here," Danny whispered, holding out his hand to the Honedge. "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you."

The sword-like pokemon blinked at him with its one eye. It slowly floated closer to Danny, not taking its eye off him. Since it showed no sign of aggression, Samson relaxed a little and stopped growling.

But then there was a loud thud and a yelp, making Danny jerk his hand back and whip around to see the disturbance. The Honedge made an odd clanging noise and fled back into the bushes.

The annoying trainer White had introduced him to, Sky Blue, and his Gallade seemed to have "accidentally" teleported into a tree. They had fallen out of the tree and on top of each other. This displeased Danny since he found Sky Blue just as White did: immature and irritating. Like White had said, he appears in places that most people would least expect to find anyone. It was hard to have a private conversation, because nobody knew if Sky was listening in or not.

"What are you doing?!" Danny demanded furiously as the older trainer winced and got back onto the Gallade's back. "I thought you were with Mira!"

"What?" asked Sky as the Gallade teleported in front of the rookie. "Of course not! She's like a Gengar! She keeps watching me! Can you imagine someone her age watching me?"

"From what I've heard, I think I can. Look, I don't have time to deal with your stupid games-"

"Games?!" the other trainer interrupted, the Gallade now teleporting behind Danny. "Did you say games?! I love games! We can play a game, right?"

"No!" Danny snapped, picking up his violin and putting it in its case. "Why else are you here?!"

"There is no other reason...oh, by the way, have you seen a dude with long green hair?"

"No. Why, is that bad?"

"Are you kidding me? That's good! Now back to my question, are we going to play a game or will I continue to annoy you?"

Danny was about to say no, but the word died in his throat. Sky Blue was two years older than himself, but he was beginning to realize how childish the older trainer really was. He had also noticed that not many of the other trainers seemed to take Sky very seriously. If he just played along, it was possible that he could get the other trainer to leave him alone.

"Fine," sighed Danny after a moment of thinking. "I'll 'play' for a bit. What did you have in mind?"

"Wait, really?"

"Yeah, isn't that what you wanted?"

"Sure, but nobody has ever said yes before."

"Well I just said yes, now what did you want to do?"

"Ok, ok, uhhhh..."

Danny watched Sky Blue look around the area while feeling a twinge of regret. He felt like he had signed his own death sentence, and now his fate was in the hands of a madman.

"You know that Honedge you were just with?" Sky finally asked after a minute.

"Yes, what about it?"

"Simple, whoever catches it wins. Good luck!"

Before Danny could speak, Sky Blue's Gallade teleported out of the clearing.

"Hey, wait!" He called, trying to see the humanoid pokemon and its trainer through the trees. "Sky, come back!"

When he didn't respond, Danny looked to Samson and Loopy. He would have to find the Honedge to find the older trainer.

"Ok," he huffed, picking up his bag and violin case. "I guess we're just going to play along. Loopy, use Rapid Spin in the direction that the Honedge went!"

The Spinda nodded and began to spin in circles. She began building up speed, and soon became the cream and pale red blur. Loopy then shot off in the direction of the Honedge, flattening down the grass and making a clear path.

Samson gave a small roar and skipped after Loopy, Danny following behind him. The little Charmander's tail helped light up the path. Some parts of Route 5 became dark depending on the time of day.

After a few minutes of running, Danny began to hear a strange noise coming toward them. He then remembered that it was the sound Loopy made when spinning out of control.

"Get back!" He ordered to his pokemon as he moved off the path.

Samson leapt off the path as well just as Loopy came spinning back. Danny heard the panda pokemon squeal as it either collapsed or hit a tree back a small distance. He didn't worry too much since Loopy stumbled shakely down the path a few seconds later. The Spinda giggled and held onto his leg for support.

Danny looked down the path Loopy's Rapid Spin had made. He saw nothing that could've stopped her. But yet the Spinda's Rapid Spin had only gotten so far before bouncing back.

He then cautiously approached the place where Loopy's path ended. It ended as if she had hit a wall. Danny slowly reached out his hand and found himself touching solid air.

The air around the path had turned into a solid wall. He moved his hand across the invisible wall, not knowing where it ended. How could air suddenly turn solid?

His thoughts were answered as he heard a giggle from the other side of the wall. Danny looked up to see a humanoid pokemon standing on the other side, mocking him. It was shorter than the Gallade, but he knew it was also a Psychic Type. It looked like a mime.

"Oh you've got to be joking!" He hissed furiously as the Mr.Mime giggled and ran further into the forest. He had just remembered something he learned in his pokemon class in school. Mr.Mimes had something in their fingertips to produce invisible walls to repel attacks.

"Ok," Danny growled, taking out his Pokedex and sliding it open. "So you wanna play that way, huh? Well two can play that game! Samson, try Brick Break!"

The Charmander gave a loud cry and smashed his small fist into the invisible wall. The air made a shattering noise as it broke. The air was no longer solid. Though most people thought otherwise, Danny had five to six years to collect items, TMs, techniques, and knowledge on pokemon battles.

They proceeded through the forest with a little more caution now that they knew that Sky Blue's Mr.Mime was now in the fight. Loopy was the one who found all the walls. She kept stumbling or tripping into the walls, but Samson was able to break through them with Brick Break.

Danny knew they were getting close as he heard the cries of other pokemon. They finally came to a clearing where the pokemon were. The Honedge was fighting off three pokemon at once. One was the Mr.Mime, the other was a parrot-like pokemon, and the third was the Squritle. The three pokemon looked pretty tough already, but the sword-like pokemon seemed to be doing well against them.

"Samson, use Sunny Day!" Danny ordered his Charmander.

Three against one wasn't a fair fight, but three against three was. He would try and support the Honedge if it would let him.

The Charmander growled and shot a fireball up into the air. It increased the clearing's brightness. The move would at least reduce the power of Scotty's water attacks. Sure enough, when the Squritle tried mustering a Bubble Beam, most of the bubbles evaporated.

There was a popping noise as somebody yelled, "Junior, Role Play on the Charmander!"

The Gallade had teleported behind the Mr.Mime, Chatot, and Squritle. Danny could see that Sky Blue was still on the Psychic and Fighting Type pokemon's back, a Pokedex gripped in his hand.

The Mr.Mime, Junior, giggled as its face suddenly morphed into Samson's. It transformed a split second later back to normal.

"You sure you wanna fight me?" the older trainer asked the rookie with a smirk. "I've been a trainer for more than ten years, and a Dexholder for about seven!"

"And I've had six years to prepare!" Danny snapped. "Loopy, use Wild Charge on the Squritle!"

Loopy had started charging energy as Sky yelled to Scotty, "Protect!"

Scotty retreated into his shell as the Spinda tackled it while crackling with electricity. The Water Type gave a surprised cry as it was flung across the clearing. Though the Wild Charge had failed, it had been helpful. Junior had set up invisible walls all throughout the clearing as well, so now Danny knew what walls were around. The Squritle's shell kept bouncing off them like a pinball in a pinball machine.

"Samson, try Dragon Claw! Loopy, use Teeter Dance!" Danny ordered his pokemon as the Honedge unsheathed itself and attacked the Mr.Mime with a Fury Cutter.

"Chatter, Hyper Voice!" Sky Blue commanded his own pokemon. "Junior, try using Rain Dance!"

The Charmander attempted to scratch Chatter with his powered-up claws, but Chatter flew higher into the air and made a deafening screech, making everyone try and cover their ears. Junior took his chance and formed an orb of water between his long fingers. Loopy, however, distracted the Psychic and Fairy Type by doing her silly little dance. It made all opposing pokemon confused, and the Mr.Mime ended up dropping what was going to be Samson's downfall. The Honedge used the opportunity to use what appeared to be the move Fury Cutter. It used it on Junior, who had a weakness to Bug Type moves.

"I almost forgot how talented your family is when it comes to battles!" Danny heard Sky Blue say, almost mockingly. "I should stop going so easy on you. Scotty, Rapid Spin!"

"Use Rapid Spin as well, Loopy!"

Complete chaos struck the battle as the two pokemon started spinning out of control. Sky's Gallade teleported onto what must have been an invisible wall to get its wounded trainer out of harm's way. Junior and Samson flung themselves onto the ground, and Chatter flew up into the sky. The Honedge quickly sheathed itself again and fell flat on the ground. Danny found an invisible wall and took cover behind it.

The two blurs kept bouncing off wall after wall. They both kept missing each other, but kept hitting other objects. It wasn't until after a minute of hiding from the Spinda and the Squrtile that someone actually got hit. Scotty ended up accidentally hitting his own teammate, the Chatot, after flinging off an invisible wall and into the air. Chatter squawked and fell out of the sky.

Scotty was undoubtedly a lot more well trained than Samson, Loopy, or the Honedge, so it did hurt Chatter more than the other attacks. It crash landed on the ground between Junior and Samson. Danny held out his Pokedex, and it registered Chatter. The device said that Scotty's Rapid Spin caused the Flying Type to lose almost a third of its health.

"Samson, try Dragon Claw again!" Danny yelled to his Charmander. "Use it on the Chatot!"

"Junior, protect Chatter!" Sky shouted to his Psychic Fairy Type.

Junior gave a loud cry to reply and tried moving in front of the Chatot. A Psybeam shot out from one of its long fingertips, but Samson dodged it and leapt over the Mr.Mime. Chatter gave another squawk as the Fire Lizard Pokemon slashed at it.

Chatter fluttered away from the other pokemon to examine its wings. They were both ruffled, and some feathers were bent. The Music Note Pokemon feebly tried to pull out some of its loose feathers quickly.

Danny then saw Sky Blue jump off the Gallade and land a bit clumsily next to his Flying Type. He saw him wince in pain, but the older trainer still reached out and scooped up his Chatot. His pokemon squawked at him and raised its wings as if showing Sky the damage that was done. Sky Blue set the Chatot gently on his shoulder before turning to his Mr.Mime and Squritle.

"It's just you two now," Danny heard Sky tell his pokemon. "Scotty, try Water Gun! Junior, use Reflect to cover Scotty!"

"Loopy, protect Samson!" commanded the rookie to his own pokemon.

The Squritle had sprayed at one of the solid air walls while the Mr.Mime created a barrier to keep the opposing pokemon from attacking. The Water Gun bounced off the walls, like a water jet in a hall of mirrors. The Honedge and Loopy surrounded the Charmander, making sure the Water Gun or one of the opposing pokemon didn't get close to him. The Honedge used Protect while the Spinda used Rapid Spin to repel the water. Samson gave a loud cry as the little lizard-like pokemon flung its arms over its head to protect itself.

Once the Water Gun died down a little, Danny instantly yelled, "Wild Charge on the Squritle and Flamethrower on the Mr.Mime!"

"Try and dodge the attacks!" shouted Sky, but his pokemon didn't have the time to act.

Samson, Loopy, and the Honedge had lunged at the opposing pokemon. The Charmander shot a stream of blazing hot fire out of its jaws at the Mr.Mime, while Loopy charged electricity as she hurled herself at Scotty. The Honedge also swiped at Junior with its Fury Cutter. Danny checked his Pokedex, and saw that Scotty was a third to fainting, and Junior was almost halfway to fainting.

"Bubble Beam and Double Slap!"

The younger trainer's head shot up after hearing this. The Squritle and Mr.Mime were both aiming their attacks at Samson.

"Loopy, use Dizzy Punch on Scotty! Honedge, use Fury Cutter on Junior again!"

Danny almost forgot that Honedge was a wild pokemon, but he was shocked to see the sword-like pokemon obey his order. Both the panda-like pokemon and the Steel Type tried defending their teammate with their assigned moves. But Samson had already fallen to the ground unconscious as they attacked the turtle-like pokemon and the mime-like pokemon.

The four remaining pokemon were panting heavily, glaring at each other. Each team had lost one member, but the battle would only end when all members of a team were defeated. The battle would also end when one trainer caught the Honedge, which neither trainers have been able to accomplish.

The Honedge suddenly turned and floated away from the fighting pokemon. It sheathed itself as it floated in front of Danny. It blinked up at the rookie with its turquoise eye. Danny didn't move. He was unsure of the Steel Type's intentions.

The sash on the sword-like pokemon's hilt than slowly curved around his arm. The Honedge jumped as Sky Blue yelled at it, but it didn't let go.

Danny began to feel feelings that weren't his own. It occurred to him that the feelings were the Honedge's. It was trying to communicate to him. From what he could tell, the Sword Pokemon was starting to like Loopy and Samson, and it hated seeing them hurt. It wanted to avenge Samson, but it knew when it was fighting a losing battle. It wanted to become stronger and work alongside the Spinda and Charmander.

The rookie suddenly yelped as the sash was suddenly jerked off his arm. He heard the Honedge give a clanging cry as Sky's Gallade threw it away from Danny. Loopy had given an angry cry after seeing what Shane was doing to her partner. She then stumbled over to the Psychic and Fighting Type and started a fist fight with it.

"You idiot, what did you think you were doing?!" Sky Blue snapped at the younger trainer as he limped over to him.

"Well what's the big deal?!" Danny demanded furiously, getting to his feet and looking around for the Honedge. "Leave the Honedge alone!"

"Honedge isn't just a Steel Type! It's a duel type, which means it has two types! It's actually a Steel and Ghost Type!"

Danny simply growled and yelled to Loopy, "Teeter Dance!"

The panda-like pokemon ducked to avoid the Gallade's fist before doing her silly dance. Shane watched her for a moment before becoming dizzy and confused. Danny took this opportunity and took an empty pokeball out of his overcoat pocket. He threw it at the bruised Honedge and it was sucked into the device. It fell to the ground, shook for a minute, and then clicked. Loopy picked up the pokeball and scampered back to her trainer. She placed the Honedge's pokeball into Danny's hand before swaying.

"Now," the rookie snarled, turning back to face Sky Blue as he put the pokeball into his pocket. "What's wrong with it being a Ghost Type?!"

"There's nothing wrong with it being a Ghost Type!" said Sky exasperatedly. "You have a Pokedex, right? Well it's probably already registered the rest of the information on Honedge!"

Danny glared at him but slid open his Pokedex. Sky was right, the device had already registered the remaining information on Honedge. It now gave its types, height, weight, and a description on what the pokemon was like. Guessing that the description would explain what went wrong, he read the text.

If anyone dares to grab its hilt, it wraps a blue cloth around that person's arm and drains the person's life force.

"You seriously thought that the Honedge was draining my life force?" Danny asked after reading, looking up at the one-eyed trainer. "I didn't even touch its hilt!"

"What, was I supposed to think that it was shaking your hand?" Sky Blue retorted irritability.

"I think it was trying to communicate with me, and I'm being serious!" He added after seeing Sky's skeptical look. "I could sense its thoughts! I bet that's one way it uses its sash!"

"Sooo you're saying the pokemon professors are all wrong about the life force?"

"Well do you really think they are going to let a Honedge wrap its sash around their arms after hearing this superstition? A Honedge might be able to drain energy for self defense, but it might use its sash to connect with people."

He knew he sounded like an idiot from the look Sky Blue was giving him. The older trainer just stared at him as if rethinking everything. After a moment, Sky burst out laughing.

"Well the other trainers left out the part about you being a debater!" Sky snickered, slapping Danny on the back and making him wince. "I like ya already! You're funnier than your brother was!"

"O-Oh," coughed Danny as Sky Blue walked away from him and approached the unconscious Charmander. "You knew Red?"

"Yep," replied the one-eyed trainer, who knelt down next to Samson and put what looked like a Revive into the fire lizard's mouth. "He wasn't very talkative, but when he did speak he was always so dead serious. That Pikachu of his wasn't much better, but it was more cheeky, even a bit sassy."

"What?"

"Nothing, nothing. Your Charmander is fine, he'll wake up any minute. Junior, Scotty, would you mind helping Shane? He's gonna need help through this mirror maze, especially in his current stat."

The Mr.Mime and Squritle, who had both watched the argument and conversation from the sidelines, both gave a cry for a reply and zigzagged around what must have been the solid air to reach the still confused Gallade. Danny watched as Sky Blue used the invisible walls to help support him over to a log at the edge of the clearing. The older trainer took his exhausted Chatot off his shoulder, set it in his lap, and began gently pulling out Chatter's loose feathers.

"You're a lot different than I thought you'd be," Danny told Sky slowly as he picked up his Charmander.

"Yeah?" said Sky unconcernedly, glancing over at the rookie. "Let me guess; White made me sound a lot more creepy and crazy than I really am, but I'm still not the kind of person you expected for someone my age, right?"

Danny was a little taken aback by how the other trainer knew this, but nodded. Sky Blue chuckled lightly as he looked back to his Chatot.

"I guess I'm one of those young adults that never grow up, or end up growing up a bit later than expected." The one eyed-trainer continued on. "Unfortunately, not many people want to hire those people like me. I'm not rich, I don't have a family unless we count my evil cousin, I don't have a good past or record, I'm not a good trainer like White or Mira, and I'm also not a very good church-going boy like you."

"You're a believer?" Danny asked, surprised at this information.

"I like to think so."

"Thinking and being are two different things."

"Well I've always believed that God created the universe. Not Arceus, not a zillion Unowns, Yahweh did."

Sky paused for a minute and then said, "Before my parents died, they took me to church every Sunday. I believed everything that I was taught since I was so young. But when they were gone and me and my sister were alone in a forest, I started to question what I believed. I thought that I had done something wrong and God killed my parents to punish me. But I continued believing in him because if anyone was going to take care of us and protect us, it was him. I also knew that my parents were in a much better place, and they were both being taken well care of. My faith wavered a lot in my life, especially when my sister, Mismagius, and Umbreon died. I know just until last year that White didn't like it when I brought up stuff like Christianity, even if it was just Noah and his super big boat. I've tried to help Mira get saved since she has no objections to my spiritual talks, and but not sure how well it's going."

"How old were you during the time you lost your parents?" the rookie trainer interjected.

"Five, maybe six years old, I know Kelly was around three or four."

"That's a young age to lose both parents."

"I remember my mom and dad being very good people...what was your dad like?"

"What?" Danny demanded, shocked that Sky Blue knew about his father. "Who told you about him?!"

"Well White and your girlfriend both knew, so I found out through one of them." Sky snorted with a smirk.

"How dare you!"

"Enough about how I know this, so how about it?"

Danny huffed furiously, feeling anger boil up inside him as he hissed, "I was only a year old!"

"So from what you've heard of him, what do you think of your dad?" Sky repeated calmly.

The younger trainer turned his back on the older one. He tried controlling his anger. He could feel his jealousy suddenly turn on Sky Blue. He had known his father, Danny had only a few blurred memories of his own. But he had a mother, uncle, and brother. Sky didn't have anyone besides White and Mira.

Danny took a few deep breaths before answering quietly, "He looked like me..."

"What?"

"He looked almost exactly like me," he repeated. "The light blue hair, even the red eyes are from him. All I got from my mom's side of the family is the temper. That's why the family fights are so big..."

"I see," said Sky Blue. "Well I inherited my father's appearance as well. My famously annoying personality came from my mom's side of the family. She liked to laugh. I know she use to have prank wars with other members of her family while growing up. My aunt and uncle from my dad's family like her a lot, so my family was close to my aunt, uncle, and cousin. My cousin always found me and my mom annoying, so she preferred being with my dad and little sister. Actually, my only living relative is my cousin."

"Is she really that bad?"

"Are you kidding me? She's WAY more talented than me, so I'm in trouble when she decides to beat me up! The good thing is that I haven't seen her since I was in Sinnoh, so she doesn't know about my eye. She has no idea where I am."

The forest floor suddenly began to rumble and shake. The pokemon all stopped what they were doing to listen. Something was moving toward them through the trees.

A huge, steel, snake-like pokemon turned over trees as it slid into the clearing with great speed. Danny yelped and hid behind a tree with his pokemon. Shane, who had recovered from confusion, got Sky on its back and teleported into a tree with the other three pokemon.

"YAY, SPIKA!" cheered Mira's familiar voice from the Steelix as the Steel Type stopped in front of the tree Sky Blue was in. "I KNEW WE COULD DO IT!"

"MIRA, I THOUGHT I GOT AWAY FROM YOU!" Sky bellowed as the Gallade teleported next to Spika.

"Ah, bubby, that's not nice!" Mira pouted, jumping off the Steelix's head and facing her friend. "I've missed you, and you're the only bubby I have who doesn't hate me!"

"I missed you too, but I want to be alone!"

"You're not alone you've got Danny. Hi, Danny!" She added, waving at Danny. "Whatcha doing behind that tree?"

"Nothing," growled Danny, standing up and brushing dirt off his overcoat.

"Oh ok! By the way, Sky Blue, why is the air acting all funny? The air kept making shattering noises while me and Spika were practicing skateboarding!"

"First off, I was training my new apprentice, who is Danny-"

"I'm not your apprentice!" Danny interrupted flatly.

"Second," continued Sky, ignoring Danny's protest. "You don't have a skateboard."

"Ya sure about that?" said Mira slyly, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm pretty sure I would now if you did."

Mira smirked and stepped to the side. Danny now noticed that she had found away to slide wheels underneath the Steelix. The wheels were attached to some boards, which seemed to be tied the Spika's stomach. Spika looked quite pleased that it could now attend other activities with its trainer.

"That's got to be some kind of pokemon abuse," Sky Blue told Mira, smirking slightly. "Seriously, I bet Team Plasma would start all over again if they knew about this. Besides, Spika is a little too big to be considered a skateboard."

"What about the Gogoats in Lumiose City?" She argued back. "People use them like cars!"

"That's different. They're trained not to wreak property. Spika will wreak that skate park without even trying."

Mira scowled and hissed, "Party pooper!"

"Whatever, Mira," Sky sighed as he returned all his pokemon except Shane.

"Sky Blue, I will not be your apprentice!" repeated Danny flatly.

"To late, you already are!" the older trainer told him as the Gallade started teleporting away. "Lessons are whenever I feel like it!"

"Don't worry," Mira reassured Danny after Shane and Sky Blue were gone. "He made me his apprentice after I met him, and I got really tough with his help. Maybe you will get even stronger than him!"

"Maybe," Danny said, looking down at the sleeping Charmander he was holding and the Spinda now clinging to his leg. He was reminded of his brother's team. He remembered seeing his brother battle with his best pokemon. With some time, his own team could be just as powerful as Red's.

Suuuuup.

Sorry for the wait. I had my birthday, and I went three days without internet while on vacation. I wrote almost half the chapter all today. I also got Pokemon Adventures Volumes 15 to 25 for my birthday. Sapphire officially scares me, and I now see why everyone likes SapphireXRuby. Also, as I write this, my Wattpad is having the first update in MONTHS! YAY! :D

Ok, lots of battling scenes. I haven't had a battling chapter since Chapter 3. There will be more battles through the next few chapters. I also tried to fit in some spiritual discussions, I haven't done any in awhile.

Also, I just wanted to add something about Danny: he's a bit of a debater. He will occasionally rant or argue about things he finds interesting, important, or sometimes he argues about things for fun. He will also talk about spiritual beliefs since his uncle pretty much raised him. The Honedge superstition about its sash sucking out a person's life force also seemed like a good way to end that battle, so I added the communication thing to it XD

vvv PLEASE READ! vvv

First off, I just wanted to say that I'm kinda nervous with upcoming chapters. In a few chapters, I am stepping WAY out of my comfort zone. I will give a notice when that chapter arrives. I'll tell you this much: the Kalos tragedy and RV are involved in those chapters that are out of my comfort zone. Both parts are separate, though.

Second, I have a question. As most of you know, Spite Without Shame and Searching Without Shame are my only active books and pokemon fanfictions. I don't get as many votes or comments as you may think. But I have three new pokemon fanfiction ideas, but I'm working on only two of the ideas. I just wanted to ask you this: if I ever published another pokemon fanfiction, would you read it? Neither ideas are as good as SWS, but I kinda want to make another book in the future. I just wanted you guys' opinion.

^^^

I can't think of anything else to say. My new Wattpad app is new, awesome, and bug-free! :D I CAN EVEN GO IN DISCOVER AGAIN!!!! I mean -coughcough- it's cool :P If I forget something, I'll add it later. My Wattpad app didn't save my editing before updating, so there are lots of errors, sorry about that, I'll edit again later. I'll try and update quickly! Remember to vote and/or comment!

Bye!

(Edit: For those who can't see the media, I just added a cool picture of Honedge. I'm not sure who can see the picture and who can't, but I thought I should add this little note just in case. Picture DOES NOT belong to me, it belongs to the rightful owner!)
