Hello,
Over the past few months I have been making major edits to Arc 3 to address some criticisms around pacing and plot elements. I didn't want some of these problems to continue on into Arc 4. I have edited all of these changes into this site now. If you don't want to read the entire arc to understand what all changed, here's a brief chapter-by-chapter rundown:
3.5: Pixie – This chapter was changed to emphasize Pixie's depression and give her more agency over the events of the chapter. No major plot changes.
3.6: Kekoa – No major changes.
3.7: Lyra – Lyra is not approached by Plumeria or informed that Cuicatl is a psychic. She meets Cuicatl in a Pokémon Center and they end up agreeing to travel together. Kekoa, for reasons unknown, also agrees but wants to keep his distance for now. Cuicatl and Lyra attempt to get supplies the day after the governor officially reopens Alola. It doesn't go so well.
3.8: Cuicatl – Instead of a fight with Lyra, Cuicatl comes down with hypothermia from the cold rain and inadequate winter clothing. She cuddles her beldum and rides it out. Lyra discovers that Cuciatl can talk to dragons and asks her to translate for her team. Cuicatl agrees. Lyra's noibat instantly takes a liking to her. The mudbray seems to believe that his purpose is serving the humans that 'created' mudsdale.
3.9: Genesis – No major changes.
3.10: Kekoa – Cuicatl prods Kekoa into letting her translate a proper conversation with his trumbeak. He finds out that she doesn't hate him as much as he feared, but isn't particularly attached, either. He gets his rufflet and then is stuck in camp for a day while it rains, because no one really wants to hike in the cold rain after what happened to Cuicatl.
3.11: Pixie – I combined the two previous Pixie chapters set in Melemele Meadow. No major plot changes.
3.12: Kekoa – Almost entirely rewritten. Kekoa encounters a florges while he's in the meadow hunting a floette for VStar. The florges terrifies Lyra with a few displays of casual mind manipulation. She flees, Kekoa stays and talks to the florges about poachers and colonialism. The florges seems more amused and disappointed with Kekoa than angry and tells him about the location of an old flying trial. I would really recommend reading this one.
3.13: Cuicatl – Clarified why she's agreeing to this trial. No major plot changes.
3.14: Genesis – No major changes.
3.15: Pixie – No major changes.
3.16: Genesis – I added a scene at the end where it begins to snow.
3.17: Cuicatl – Added a scene where Cuicatl talks to Lyra. Small changes to reflect the snowfall.
3.18: Nocitlālin – Entirely new content. Nocitlālin talks with Lyra about psychics and realizes that his trainer might need more help than she can give.
3.19: Kekoa – Added a few scenes at the end where Kekoa and Lyra talk about the fallout of the attack on Hoenn and discuss the Champion's announcement that she is going to the one place uncorrupted by capitalism – space!
3.20: Hala – Changes to reflect the snowfall. Added in one scene at the end where he reflects on the consequences now that the darkness is over and the snow is beginning to melt.
