I did not have internet access until an hour and a half ago, and I'm not using my usual computer. I also haven't eaten today, so a bunch of my plans have been thrown off. Still, it's done. Mostly.

Hello! You might be wondering why there’s a chapter today. That’s because this arc is nearing its end, and I want to make sure each chapter comes out quickly.

Thank you so much for the understanding on Tuesday. Taking a step back let me avoid a mistake I didn’t realize I was about to make.

As a heads-up, today’s chapter is shorter than usual. No matter how many times I wrote it, I was not able to write its final part in a way I liked. Expect to see it as part of the update on Friday. Unfortunately, I simply need more time to make sure it works....

The offer of real food distracted Sam from his thoughts, and he didn't hesitate to take it. He was given a bowl of what he had to call powdered gruel. It thickened once it was mixed with water, and then a few sprinkles of spices were stirred in.
The meal wasn't anything special—it wasn’...

Relying on status moves in battle required a careful balance, especially since status moves were a core part of Sam’s strategies. Most trainers would have their Pokémon pick up a handful, but only to use in support of their attacks. For Sam, the application of conditions and esoteric s...

Chuck knelt on his knees, hands pressed against his legs. He kept his back perfectly straight as if at attention but hung his head as low as it could go.
