Okay, this isn't a chapter for "Misty's Dilemma" it is simply an FAQ for my dedicated readers! :) Thanks so much guys! :)

The Orange League thing - okay, let me explain: when I started writing this story, here in New Zealand they had stopped playing the Orange Islands series, and I had no idea how the Orange League worked, so I just figured it would be similar to the Indigo one.

The prizes in the Orange League - again, same thing as above, had no idea. But that was kinda my imagination going with me, it was the only way I could think of Ash giving Misty a car.

Tracey - urgh. Yucky section. No, I did not include Tracey in this story because I felt he didn't really fit in. I don't like Tracey anyway. As for Brock...well, the story revolved more around Ash and Misty, and I felt that Brock would kinda be getting in the way. I still love him though! :)

The gyms closure: someone asked about this, and it's a very good question - how could the 7th-9th gyms get closed when you need 8 badges to compete in the league? Well, I said the gym could be shut OR SOLD, most likely sold for that reason. But if it was shut, it would, obviously, make room for new gyms.

Didn't Ash win the Orange League? - yeah, he did, but again that wasn't screened here for a while. I started this story a year ago. In this story, he just didn't. My Orange League had a whole different system with it.

What happened to their journey? - I know they were still on their journey, and still are, even though they are now obviously older than ten. But the thing is, they were still ten when I started. The journey had to stop in my story or else it wouldn't have worked out the way it did.

Misty suicidal - say it isn't so! I know, she was suicidal and that's not a nice thing, I have been through it myself (thankyou JBJFEC for letting me see the light!). But Misty was under a lot of pressure - her mother had died, she had lost her true love for what seemed forever, and she now had the huge responsiblity of running the gym until she had kids. I and many other suicidals have been under a lot less pressure than that and have had the urge to slash our wrists too. I rated this story PG for a reason, and that was one of them. Im sorry if it offended anyone, but that's reality.

How could Ash ruin the ranking? - THE BIG ONE. This is the BIGGEST and most frequent question I have been asked, so here's my explanation: have you ever seen the episode of The Simpsons, when the Superintennent (spelling) is inspecting the school, and everything is going fine until Bart starts driving a tractor and accidently runs him over? My story was practically no different. Gyms have to be 100% perfect. If Ash had done that while Misty was in the middle of an important match, it would ultimatly affect the match, and that's why the inspector ranked it so low. He was looking for things that would happen every day, and he obviously thought that if hooligans like that lived in Cerulean, then the town didn't deserve a gym.

Once again, thankyou sooo much for reading my story, I loved writing it and look out for more AAMLs from me, cos I love writing them! Anymore questions, forward them to me! :)
