Hi guys! I know I haven't updated this book in a while, but, to be fair, I haven't updated anything except a single chapter of The Long Way Home and that was in May.

Things are in the works in this book, I promise.

I have so many plans for The Greninja Festival but I've only been able to execute two in what's written so far, and that's a little over 1000 words. I'm struggling to figure out how Ash would react to something that was just said and how to bring in the character I want to bring in.

The Missing One is probably never going to see the light of day since I'm 3000 words in and only barely on the second day of that week.

I'm absolutely stuck on the second part of Realistically, I Have No Clue What This Is and I'm only 300 words in.

There's one draft in this book I have no clue how it ties into Greninja at all and is dumb anyways. It's got 600 words.

I've got two stupid ideas for ones set during journeys and one actual good idea set during sun and moon.

I've got a chapter for the second part of the April Fools Day fic but there's not a single word in it.

There's this other draft that I'm having more fun writing the ending for than the actual action and I'm about 1700 words in, mostly on the aftermath. Is anyone interested in a fic where you just see the aftermath of something and you can draw your own conclusion to what happened? Because if so I may just delete the beginning and just finish the aftermath and post that.

There's like 5 other drafts in here from like 2019 and have like 5 or less words in them, and are most likely never gonna happen. The only one with any chance is Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Continue tbh.

I've just not been in the mood to write anything Pokemon related lately tbh, so I just haven't been. It's not writer's block, because I'm literally exploding with ideas at the moment, I'm just not motivated enough to write. I've literally only been writing things for another fandom that I'm never even gonna post and just sit in my notes on my phone.

So yeah, idk when the next chapter will be posted, but hopefully sometime soon.

I've also got a TON of other Pokemon related drafts that I'm also struggling with, so that's how writing's been recently.

That's all for now :)

October Update:

All the stuff from above plus only being in te mood to draw plus school's kicking my ass right now. So probably a temporary hiatus. Thanks for staying with me and this book despite the long time between updates <3
