*Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon*

Hey Guys. For these last few days I have been managing E-mails as often as I can. I cannot believe how much support I have been getting for this thing!

I have decided due to feedback from you guys that I should write about the Sinnoh region so I don't really have to shape out the new region. The gang will travel to other regions, and maybe if my writing skill continues, I'll go into my own region. So, that means I am also going to make my own evil organization, Team…..something or other…..Oh well, I'll just have to put on my thinkin' cap and start brainstorming.

I have gotten some incredible OCs left and right, but even though they have been amazing, I have not received the ideal traveling partners for Riley. If you only submitted one character, I am opening up two OCs per person to get a little more diversity from you guys. Just to give you a recap before I begin, I need two traveling partners (one female and one male), a rival (preferably male), and gym leaders to take the place of the current Sinnoh gym leaders. Please, please, please tell your friends and get them to submit their OCs as well. This fanfiction has to have them.

I love getting all of these OCs being sent in and I will try to use as many as I can. Ok, but now it is time for the sad part. First off, your characters are starting to…well, let's just say….scare me. I need more characters that feel more like happiness, fun, and pretty much guys you would have hanging around your house; not someone that if you saw them you would think they would kill you in your sleep. I completely understand if it was made to be an enemy, or a slightly creepy gym leader, but try to lay off the creepy. I will not take teams with legendaries. We will meet them and they might travel with us along the way but we will never capture it. I will also be using lower evolutions on your Pokémon so I can introduce your characters earlier in the story…leaving room for development. Second, if the OC is not well made, I'm not going to use it. There's a certain line that can be crossed on how ridiculous these trainers can be. I don't need a man with a rainbow afro screaming "Peace, not battles!" running all over the place. Ok Spoiler Alert! Riley is going to be Ash's and Serena's son. I have for some reason became an amourshipper. I do not want to deal with "son of" and "daughter of," except occasionally with gym leaders who want the former Sinnoh gym leader to be their OCs father/mother. I also don't want actual Pokémon OCs; I don't write about Squirtles with Pink shells named Flower. I'm sorry for not putting this in the initial intro.

I am also making this about ten years after Canon. That way all the gym leaders can give up their places and I can use Riley's parents. This means I can make something up to bring all different kinds of Pokémon to Sinnoh so don't worry if it is impossible to get a pidgey in Sinnoh.

Shout out to Blue Phoenix 20th. He is currently writing a story, also using OCs, called Another Path to Sinnoh. It's about his OC, Ace traveling through Sinnoh together discovering his newfound power in the world of Pokémon.

Thank you guys again. Happy trails and happy writing!
