So… It's been a few months. I've got my reasons for why it's been a few months, but I'm not gonna get to into it. Suffice it to say, I fucked up. Big time. I ended up messing around instead of doing my classes, and now I'm a few hundred dollars in debt for extending the time I have to do them, which sucks when you don't have a job. Which, of course, I don't because I'm a neck-bearded, fucking basement dweller. Plus I'm not old enough to get my license to DRIVE to said jobs. But I'm not here to grumble about my personal problems. I'm here to announce something.
I think we can all agree that since I haven't uploaded a new chapter in months, the Upsilon Tournament is on its last legs. I've lost my connection to the story, I've criticized and critiqued it, and I've decided I didn't do what I wanted for it. So, here and now. The Upsilon Tournament is officially… Drum roll please…
About to be rewrote! I didn't want to cancel the series, and I planned to post this message and start the rewrite a month ago. But then grandma died. And she was the last surviving parent on mom's side of the family. So you know, that happened.
Anyways, about the rewrite. I am planning a few significant changes. For one, I'm removing Cinis. Because fuck OCs. (I don't mean that. And I really don't mean that literally. Don't make OCs sex divas, ok? Christ.) I don't think the story needs any when Pokemon has so many characters. Another change is the pacing of the story. Have you noticed that Ash reconnects with Serena and all is fucking forgiven in the second or third chapter!? No, bad! I need to make things go slower. Speaking of Serena, I'm gonna change things up a bit. She didn't reject Ash because she was flustered. Palermo gave me the ultimate opportunity for Ash's new motivation to run away. So thanks Palermo.
Another thing. Alolan forms. Adding those to a ton of Pokemon. As well as a change to shinies. Because fuck balance. But back to the next thing, Ash isn't gonna have just stayed on Mount Silver. He's gonna travel around. Also, and get ready for this, he caught the Team Rocket's Meowth. Meowth ended up playing a crucial role in the fall of team rocket. Plus, Ash gave him an ever stone. Oh, Hyper evolution will also be nerfed a bit. I can't make abilities to powerful can I?
Finally, the story is gonna be in first instead third person. Because it's nice to be inside somebody's mind and appreciate the trip from inside their head. By the way, I'm not gonna edit these so they're gonna come out a little sloppier, but probably a little faster. So that's my announcement. Don't worry too much about when it'll come out. I'll try and get it sooner rather than later. Not sure if I'll be able to work on it today 'cause I have a final tomorrow on one of the classes I fucked around on.
