Hey everyone! This is my first ever piece of Fan-Fiction. It is based off of a plot concept that I thought up years ago; I'm only now just putting the idea to paper (or data, as it were). This is, at its core, an adventure/drama piece, though the AshxMisty PokeShipping will play a role later on. My writing style is a bit different than what you may be accustomed to on this site, as rather than writing a few, large chapters, I tend to write a very large number of smaller chapters. This Fan-Fiction will likely span between 30 and 50 chapters upon its completion, with each chapter being between 250 and 750 words. In any case, I do hope you enjoy this piece, and please be sure to review and give me your feedback.
I do not own Pokemon, but do retain any and all applicable rights to the story, characters withheld.

Hey everyone! Sorry for the MASSIVE delay in writing and posting Chapter 11. I recently started a new job, and it's been taking a lot of time out of my schedule. The good news is that Chapter 11 is up and Chapter 12 is in progress and should be up by October 10th, 2012. Thank you once again for the kind words and feedback, and enjoy the new chapter! Cheers!

Hey everyone! Feedback continues to be fantastic, and thanks to all of you who have reviewed and sent me messages. Sorry for the lack of updates; I was attending my University Graduation Ceremony and took a week away from home to enjoy it with friends and loved ones. Chapter 9 is now up, and I hope to have a new chapter posted every 1-3 days. Cheers!
Update 24/05/12:
Early feedback on the story has been overwhelmingly positive! Thank you to those who reviewed, as well as those who have sent me Private Messages. The primary area of concern that people have brought to my attention is the shortness of the chapters. Initially, I had intended to post as I write, however this may lead to highly inconsistent chapter sizes. I had originally planned to solve this problem by combining some chapters later on when everything was finished, however I will now instead be combing Chapters 1 and 2 immediately, and will strive to create chapters that are never fewer than 500 words (1000 words per chapter is the new intended target). Again, thank you for the early feedback, and enjoy Chapter 5 which will go live tomorrow (May 25th, 2012). Cheers!
