I have recently been thinking about changing Alexander love interest from Emily to someone else.

Emily will still travel with him and Brock for a bit until she decides to go on her own way as she enters Pokemon contest.

Im thinking about making he new love interest and Oc like Mitsuki future girlfriend who in the picture below.

Are instead shipping him with Dawn in Kanto for Pokemon contest as well and will meet her shortly in the story.

The next chapter is currently in the process of being written finally started it after taking a break to continue planning out the story in my head.
