So this is a little bit more like a test and a way for me to get a little bit of creativity flowing as I've been... well kinda lost on new ideas for this for a few days. Hope you enjoy this new change in perspective.

A change in Perspective:

The blonde writer sat in front of her opened up journal with a blank stare and a pencil being held above the paper as well as a recorder in her other hand, a small Pride sat in her lap with a confused expression as he looked up to his trainer.

"I'm so suffering from writer's block…" she said as she set her recorder down onto the table… only for a Mischevious Envy to swipe it away and try running. It stopped when it noticed it's trainer wasn't following.

"Vy?"

"Not now Envy…" the writer said with a sigh as she slumped down face first onto the table, her free arm hugging the young Alchemymon that was on her lap. Sensing that his trainer was upset a Ling with a black coat jumped up onto the table and began patting the blonde's head.

While this was going on, her Roy gave a questioning look to the Fullmetal (nicknamed Ed) in regards to her current mood. In response Ed shrugged and said something along the lines of "Who knows?" within the language of Pokemon.

"Pri? Pri, Pride?" the youngest team member asked, roughly translating somewhere along the lines to "Mama? What's wrong?"

"I'm blanking on things to write about… I've covered most of the basics for how life is here… I've covered how to handle the gyms, the transportation. I could try writing more on how to do more successful captures… but the problem is I've only got a few actual experiences in that regard! Ugh… who knew making a guide for outsiders would be so god damned hard?!"

"En-"

"Don't you start over there. It's bad enough I'm in a funk over here I don't need your sass to make it worse!"

The Envy scoffed and turned away, subtly sneaking a glance of concern back to it's trainer.

Her Ling seemed to smile and suggest something, roughly translating to "Why not try to expose that Gym Leader that looks exactly like a Wrath again?"

"Can't… I'm not allowed within 20 ft of the guy's home anymore since the last time… fucking restraining orders… Guess we could go out and try a new gym. What will it be again? Our tenth?"

Ed shook his head as he got in close and pointed out it was going to be their twelfth.

"Twelve? Damn how'd I forget the other two?" the writer asked out loud as she reached into her bag near the table and pulled out her badge case, looking at all eleven badges she had currently and seemed to just stare at one in particular.

"Any of you remember when I got the Badge from Youswell?" the trainer was met with blank stares all around, Roy shook his head in a clear no, Pride had a confused look, Envy shrugged in an uncaring kind of way, Ling scratched the side of his head while trying to remember and Ed seemed to think of something for a moment before losing it again and shrugging in defeat.

"Must not have been all that memorable then."

Meanwhile somewhere in Youswell the gym leader, some guy named Yoki, felt very insulted that someone forgot about a battle at his amazing gym!

"Strange though… you'd think the very first badge you put in your case is something you'd remember… Must have been pathetic then," the writer shrugged, earning a lot of nods of agreement from her team and for some reason felt like she just insulted someone's pride somewhere out there.

"OH I do remember the one from Resembool though! Man that was a fun one… until Mister "I must insult every Edward I meet" over there made a swarm of them come after us, but hey at least Ed was able to evolve then! East City was a challenge, but really worth the effort. Central… I still think the Gym Leader's a really smart Wrath in disguise. Rush Valley was interesting to say the least. I barely remember Creta, but god do I remember Briggs," she and her three main team members all shuddered at the memory while Roy blinked in confusion and Pride tilted his head a little.

Her previous mood forgotten as she got lost in a sea of nostalgia, the blonde writer laughed as she recounted how they got some of the badges to her team. Ling, Ed and Envy all seemed to add a few things here and there in their own ways to help her with explaining them to the two newer members.

It was a very eventful night to say the least, the writer may not have been able to write more of her guide but was able to make the most of it with her team.
