Hey all! I'm a big pokemon fan from the UK ever since the debut of Red and Blue back in October 1999! I own nearly all of the games so far and like to think of myself as a good trainer! I like watching the anime (as well as others) and I wrote this because pokemon is one of the biggest things in my life at the moment! My first story was Pokemon - The New Journey! which i wrote back in 2001 and didn't last very long! I planned out the episode guide for all of the episodes but i decided they weren't that great! I did actually write an episode at the end which was probably the best one which I have uploaded for you! Even though there's like 50 episodes missing in between!Anyway,I decided to blow the dust off of my fanfic skills and start writing again...3 years after my last chapter of The New Journey! Shaking off the script-style and writing like it should be done, i've planned out my new story Pokemon: Hoenn Hero! which i'm very proud of so far. I hope you'll agree it's miles better than the older one! So Pokemon - The New Journey won't be continued anymore but Hoenn Hero is very much so alive! Please feel free to post your thoughts and comments or even email me (I love emails!) and I hope you enjoy Hoenn Hero!

Cya!

Author Notes: For Pokemon - The New Journey, Casey's surname (Kapcha) is obviously based on the word capture which is a play on words just like Ketchum is to catch 'em! For Pokemon: Hoenn Hero, Marina's name is Marina Mare. I did some heavy name researching for Hoenn Hero! Marina means "maiden of the sea" and Mare is a French name that means "The Sea". Marina comes from Sootopolis City so I hope you can see how the name fits her! Marina's brother is Rainier (obviously includes the word Rain), her younger brother Dewey (the word Dew) and her father is named Walter (sounds like Water). Keep an eye out for these kinds of names!

Legal Stuff: Pokemon is a trademark of Nintendo, Gamefreak and anyone else I forgot to mention. I don't own Pokemon or anything...I'm just a fan!
