Pokѐmon Journey II: Gwyn's Passage
Chapter 30: Questions & Answers
Alright everyone! It's been a good long time since we all began this story, but sadly it has come to an end! I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did writing it and taking in a new twist at the end with our girls and guys become world wide cops to stop Rose! But as always, here is the Questions & Answers page to answer all the questions you've sent me throughout the story. So while don't I shut up and get started?
These questions are from Andre Loves Chairty Ahairty:
Q: What does the HalloweenWitchHalloweenWitch thing mean?
A: That is actually my space breaker between time periods. I realize I have a bar that can do that, but when I first got onto the site, I couldn't figure out how to use the damn thing, so I just used my name instead. Eventually, I got a little attached to it, so I rather use that instead.
Q: Did you make up the translation yourself or is that really from the games? I can't tell.
A: To be honest, for the most part, those are the exact translations from the games, with the exception of the three stones in LeafGreen, I added that in to make it sound more… balanced in my opinion, after all, there were three legendary beasts and each one of them were supposed to resemble a stone, so I changed that little bit, but other then that, its all legit.
Q: Why wasn't the cave apart of the chapter? (Chapter 4)
A: I thought it wouldn't be worth it to put it into the chapter, especially since I'd already covered all the details that I'd wanted to, it would have just made the ending long and boring rather then ending it on a better note.
Q: Will the egg hatch into Togepi?
A: Yes, as you saw in chapter 8, the egg does hatch into a togepi.
Q: Also when will Violet catch a new pokemon lol xd or train Mareep?
A: Uh… she's not catching another pokemon, sorry. Violet's got her full team, and I don't plan on having anyone catch pokemon outside of their story except Levy.
Q: Why is Gwyn so rude...both her and Violet were rude in the beginning in the story.
A: Well… all trainers, sorry correction, all people can be like that at times. Violet had a more solid reason for it being her trying to stay away from her overbearing mother. Gwyn on the other hand just didn't like being unable to help others, or when others try to hold her back. It relates back to her father vanishing on her years ago, how she couldn't do anything for him. It also ties into her fear of death, but your right, at certain times, she shouldn't have been so mean, but characters have to have their moments.
These Questions are from Pokѐmon cinder:
Q: How do you choose which pokemon the main character has? Do you play through each game and pick whatever you use or do you just choose your favorite pokemon from each generation of games?
A: Well, I would have to say that I have a preference for certain pokemon in each game when it comes to a starter or certain pokemon you can have. Each game, I have my favorite starter for looks, type, and stats. Based upon what I have for the starter, I then try to find other pokemon that are not of the same type, or at least, not entirely the same type. I also try to at least have one pokemon that can travel fast over water and land and such, or a flier. I somewhat based this off of favorite pokemon of mine from the games, and tried to make teams that were all over the place and would be good together.
These Questions are from QuestForMyOwnMagic:
Q: I love the nicknames she gives her pokemon but why does Aaron gotta be a poopoo head? Do I sense some jealousy or just some bi-polar disorder stuff?
A: Jealousy, as you know now, he's in love with Gwyn, but lost her when things got out of hand and he went out of control and lost her to Tristan.
These Questions are from Defender31415:
Q: He deserved to be, shall we say, involuntarily made a eunuch?
A: I know this isn't a question, but I had to add it in, and he totally deserved that and more.
Q: When the heck did Vince get changeling powers? I don't remember that...
A: He ended up getting his powers-
Vince: Hey! I wanna answer this one!
Me: But it's not a direction question and you have a couple down the line-
Vince: I don't care! I'm taking it anyway. (I simply shrugged at him while he cleared his throat) Okay, so just to let you know, I got my powers around the same time Alex did, and that was in the three year gap between each story. I mean, with that many years to train and get stronger, we just got to that point, you know?
Alex: (Shaking his head) Couldn't have said it better myself Vince…
Q: That part with the symbols and blast of white fire... Did Cynder learn Blast Burn?
A: Yep!
Q: Oh, and one question for Violet: What's your reaction to Gwyn being a changeling?
Violet: My reaction? Oh hell… it was kind of an up and down thing for me in many ways. Trust me, I liked the fact that she was a changeling in the fact that she was getting close to my level and I could have someone helping me when it came down to fighting against Rose. I mean the way she tossed Rose around like a rag doll… it was great! But I was worried too… I mean, it was a girl I'd taken under my wing, like a younger sister, and I let her go up against Rose? Honestly, I question my decisions at times. I didn't want to ever get her into these messes, but I don't really have a choice now, and I'm glad, because I have a lot more help. I will also admit I was worried, especially when she started going crazy and attacking Goldenrod City.
Q: But speaking of Aaron, I noticed he didn't react to Gywn's little peck on the cheek. Even if he felt guilty, I'd expect him to react somehow. Like, "Gwyn, why the heck did you just do that?!
Aaron: Uh… I kinda figured it was just best to keep quiet when she did that. She'd just forgive me for being such an idiot and pretty much ruining everything, so I didn't really want to say anything. And it was nothing more then a kiss a sibling would give to the other, or a parent to a child. No different then what she gives her pokemon.
Q: Question for Aaron: are you OK with Gwyn and Tristan's relationship? No lies, now!
Aaron: (Turns to me) Do I really have to answer that?
Me: Of course you do, I thought you wanted to answer questions?
Aaron: Yeah… just not this one…
Tristan: Just answer it Aaron, its not going to get any easier if you put it off.
Aaron: I know! (He sighed and groaned) Okay, so… I guess I'm okay with it. Not exactly what I had wanted, I mean… it still hurts a lot that I got turned down, but in retrospect, I was a jackass back then… She didn't deserve that. I surrounded myself with a lot of work after that to try and help me move one and force me to communicate with other people at my grandparent's daycare. I won't lie and say that it sucks I could never have her in that way or get a shot like that again, but having her as my best friend again, and having her be happy, even if its with another guy… I can live with that… I think…
Tristan: (Sigh) As you can see, he's still working on it. In time he'll get better and move on. Especially since he's taken a liking to-
Aaron: Shut up!
Tristan: What?
Aaron: Don't say it!
Q: I am curious as to why Gwyn doesn't have a legendary Pokemon, but even more curious as to why Aaron and Tristan haven't become changelings like Alex and Vince. Come to think of it, a question for both of them: What would you think if both of you developed powers like Gwyn's?
Aaron: Oh it is so awesome! It feels amazing when the power is flowing through the veins and the adrenaline is pumping-
Tristan: Aaron, I'm sure the readers don't understand what you're talking about.
Aaron: Huh?
Gwyn: (Smacks forehead) He means about how you got your changeling abilities. You didn't have any in the story and suddenly you're talking about having them.
Aaron: Oh… right.
Tristan: Anyway, to answer your question. It is an incredible feeling, like what he was saying, and it does come in handy for many of the situations we find ourselves in. We obtained our abilities once the story for Gwyn and us was over, and before the third story takes place, which Halloween will talk about at the end of this page.
Gwyn: Oh! And another thing! I got a legendary in chapter 25 as I'm sure you saw! North Wind my suicune! And during the break between stories, the guys got their respective legendary beast too! You're gonna see all of that in the next story!
Q: What time is Gwyn sent back to, roughly? It seems to be sometime earlier in her journey, but I'm not sure when exactly.
A: The first time she is sent back in time, she was sent back three years ago when Violet took down the Team Rocket base in Viridian and freed Tristan and the mother of Amber. When she travels again, she is a few months before the present time in the book. She is in the cave where Giovanni has hidden himself while herself in the past was dealing with Rose in Goldenrod with the Team Rocket take over of the Radio Tower.
Q: How old is Aaron? I ask because I think Levy's a bit young for him...
A: Actually, there's not a lot of age difference between the two of them as I'm sure your thinking. While it is still very young, Aaron is thirteen, while Levy is ten, only three years difference.
Q: Q&A question for Aaron: Are you romantically interested in Levy? Be honest, man!
Aaron: Whoa! Slow down, what?
Tristan: You saw the question imbecile…
Aaron: Dude! Shut up! I don't need you rude comments bothering me-
Gwyn: Both of you stop it! (Both boys quiet down.) Thank you, now answer her question Aaron, Halloween will have your head if you don't.
Aaron: Ugg… alright, fine… I… don't know if I do like her or not, but… I do know that I care about her, a lot. I don't want anything to happen to her, I'm scared she could get hurt… she's only ten after all…
Tristan: What he's refusing to tell you is that any time he spends with her; he's the only one who's constantly by her.
Aaron: Shut up! Am not!
Gwyn: (Giggle) Are too Aaron! I think it's cute! That little girl has you rapped around her tiny finger!
Aaron: (Blushes) Shut up… not true! (Aaron storms off.)
Gwyn: (Sigh) I'll go get Levy and go get him. She'll bring him out of his sour mood.
These Questions are from crazywriter9:
Q: Are Violet and Gwyn gonna be in the next one? Will Rose be in the next one assuming she escapes this time?
A: Oh yes they are! They'll be forward to a new location and a change of scenery. Who knows what Rose will cause for chaos and how the girls will handle being a powerful, government issued, league?
Gwyn: I know I'm looking forward to no snow and lots of warmth!
Violet: And the new challenges we'll face, gotta love those, and kicking bad guy asses.
Gwyn: (Giggles) Oh yeah, love that too!
These Questions are from me to you my dear viewers, Halloween Witch:
Q: So you said that there will be a third story. What is its name and can or will you tell us anything about it?
A: Okay, so the third story is called Pokѐmon Journey III. Jezebel's Voyage and the first chapter of it will be posted on February 14, 2015. I find it slightly ironic that I'm posting the story on that day, and it just tickles me pink! This story, for the first time since we started, will have FOUR main characters, which you all will meet throughout the first six chapters or so. They are named Jezebel Emery-Twain, Casey Birch, Matthew Ashling and Aria Charlotte. I'll be taking my normal two month break to catch up on work and make further progress in book four (which I'm writing right now to keep ahead of all you guys and make sure I can keep up with my due dates) and enjoy a nice Christmas with my family. But before I forget, let me give you the summery of the new book!
Pokѐmon Journey III. Jezebel's Voyage
It was a quiet and dull moving experience for Jezebel Emery-Twin who moved from one side of the Hoenn region to another to be closer to her father and start her pokemon journey. Instead of going to her father for a first pokemon like was planned, she ended up receiving one of Professor Birch's pokemon when he's attacked. Things turn from bad to worse when she realizes that her family is connected to the crime in Hoenn. Does she stay and fight, or does she numb herself and hide away?
Well, that would sadly be all people! I'm gonna get going onto more work now, but I love you all and I'll see you soon enough in two months next year with the new story! Be looking for it! Trust me; I think you'll love the plot to this one!
See you all soon and love you all! Please give me your ideas and responses to your questions being answered! I know the characters loved doing it as much as I did!
