Authoress' note: This is the same world as the regular Pokemon series, it just focuses on different people. There will be appearances from Satoshi (Ash) and the others, and a few people from the main series will actually play big parts in this. It takes place during the current time-line in the show. On another subject, when I write the characters' full names, you'll see it as, for example, "Sonzaino Kinsei". Now, some of you might be puzzled as to why this is, when her first name is Kinsei. Well, I'm writing it like in Japanese, last name first, first name last. And you'll see Kinsei and Faia refer to each other by their last names with "chan" after that for the first few episodes. That's because, although they are friends, they haven't become good enough friends to call each other by their first names. Also, I will be using all the dub names for the Pokemon (not the characters) because most don't know every single Japanese name, and I don't feel like writing out all the Pokemon's Japanese names for clarification (ie Zenigame for Squirtle, Fushigidane for Bulbasaur, etc.). Any questions? Comments? Email me at fatalfury7@yahoo.com. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: One and only disclaimer, so read it here first! I don't own Pokemon (duh), or the characters created and established for the show or game. Sonzaino Kinsei is the property of my friend, Jess, and Kouno Faia is my property. Wan Hana is mine, but I gave her to Rocketto Dan, so they own her now. All other made up characters here-in were created by me. The "Forever Friends" series is the product of my imagination. I might have a guest writer at times, but otherwise I wrote all of this. Don't steal the characters created by Jess or I without our permission. Don't sue us. If you don't like it, STOP READING IT. Flames will used for campfires, and Spike Spiegel will shoot any bashers. Comments and suggestions are welcome. All donations must be in the form of Pocky. Now, on with the fic!
