New chapter! Short, but it's very important. Mostly because of the author's note at the end.

It's episode 52, and I skipped the end of 51. But we NEED to get past this tournament and on to bigger and better things!

Enjoy! And read the note at the end!
-RD :)


Ash kneeled down to Chimchar. I couldn't believe it! Was he really asking Chimchar to join his team?

Paul made some snappy remark, probably still mad at Chimchar for losing that battle. But can you blame Chimchar? He was going up against his worst fear! Paul was pushing his Pokémon way too hard!

Just when Chimchar was about to make up his mind, he and Ash were attacked! We turned around to see Team Rocket! How come they always have to come and ruin everything? One of their crazy mechanical arms grabbed Chimchar and I freaked out.

Ash ran after Chimchar, who tried to escape by firing Flamethrower attacks. It made Chimchar fall, but Ash caught him! And Chimchar joined Ash! Yay!

Later, Ash called Professor Oak! And he said a POEM! I was so happy!

Well, se ya later, Diary.

Brock flipped the page and frowned when he realized what day it was. Dawn had written about that battle he lost!

Guess what, Diary! The Hearthome City Tag Battle Tournament is over! Me and Conway got to the finals!

And then we lost.

Oh well. Guess who won. Ash and Paul! What a huge surprise! We lost to them in the finals. Isn't that like totally insane? Brock and Holly lost in the semi-finals. Ash and Paul beat them, too. Well, mostly Paul, 'cause Ash's Staravia never really got a chance to get in on the action. That battle was over as quickly as it started.

Conway did really well in the final! His Heracross is amazing! We fought very hard, but we lost in the end. But that's okay.

Paul gave Ash his Soothe Bell. I wonder why he entered the contest in the first place if he didn't even want the prize. But Ash just gave me Paul's Soothe Bell! It makes such a pretty sound and I just love it!

I'm SUPER tired, Diary, so I'll tell you more stuff later, okay?


Alrighty, guys, I've figured out why the fic is so darn hard for me to write: I know NOTHING about the DP series! *shot*
Truthfully, I haven't seen most of it. But that's where you guys come in! You guys are going to suggest episodes for me to watch and wriyte about! I'll be able to get chapters up much quicker that way.

So, without further ado, here is the episode suggestion form! Copy and paste it if needed, but take out the parts in parentheses if you do.

Episode Suggestion
Episode Number: (for example, this one was DP52. Put it like that
Episode Name: (In English, please)
Synopsis: (A brief description of what happens. Like 2-3 scentences)
Pairing: (You don't have to put this part in, but if there's a featured pairing in the episode, put it here)

Use the form or I won't do the episode! And just because you submit it doesn't mean I'll actually use the episode or write about the pairing you want. I'm the author and I reserve that right. I have shipping preferences and I intend to stick with those.

I also accept anonymous reviews, so you can suggest an episode even if you don't have an acoount. Just hit the "review" button at the bottom. :)

So the most important rules: SUGGEST IN A REVIEW AND USE THE FORM!
