Soooo... sup? Okay, jokes aside, I am very sorry. I've been going through a terrible patch in my life, and I'd lost all motivations to write. Now, I'm not about to write my sob story out so I can hope that you all can forgive me for this lapse. Either way, I'm back, and I should be writing and updating relatively frequently again. There are a couple questions and notes that you all should know though.

Firstly, I've reached some conclusions about Ashes In The Sky. First off, Cynthia is still best bae, just to assure you all. Anabel is also going to be joining, for sure now. I've developed a fondness for her as well. Now, when I say Anabel, I mean Victorian England dressed Anabel, suit and all. I think it "suits" her better. Haha end me please.

Johto is looking less and less likely, not that I dislike the Johto series all that much, but it really does feel entirely unnecessary. I do have some plans to put in during that time, but yeah, don't expect it.

Assuming I figure out how polls work for , I'll be posting a few. Legendary Pokemon, Ash's romantic interests, etc. So check those out every once in a while to stay updated.

This may be the most important. For the next few chapters at least, I will be using quite a few time-skips and chapters may not begin where the last one ended. I just can't write for hours and hours and not have anything interesting develop or change. I'll try not to cut out the super important stuff, but I will occasionally skip stuff like unimportant gyms, the occasional Pokemon capture, and other, minor things.

Now that I've said all that, I'd like to thank you all for this support. I began this story as a lost bet, and now? Now I have 300 followers, thousands of views, and hell, it brings a tear to my eye. Thank you all, and expect the next chapter maybe a few days after Thanksgiving.
