Chapter 79
Sam sucked in a breath as Redi leaned forward in her chair, setting her hands on the table. He watched as she interlaced her fingers like Mr. Pokémon had done seconds before. This was no longer just a casual conversation. This was now a discussion of an actualdeal.“A sponsorship,” Redi repeated. “You’re offeri...
Chapter 78
Author Note:The end of the last chapter has been tweaked. Details are included in the post-chapter author note to avoid spoilers in the chapter preview.=============================================================================A familiar roar shocked Sam awake, and he rushed to search his surroundings. The bed he lai...
Chapter 77
The Explosion blasted back the fog and consumed the decoy campsite. Primeape and Ursaring disappeared as the sea of flames rushed Sam and Redi. Misdreavus and Porygon acted simultaneously, unleashing a dual Psybeam that sliced through the edge of the dissipating explosion. They carved out a gap that let their small gro...
Chapter 76
Before Petrel ever began his attacks, Sam and Redi blew through town, rushing to gather materials before heading out. They still had money left from the tournament and Sam’s most recent Gym battle winnings, so they doubled up on restocking healing items and bought a few extra items—specifically, they bought a spare...
Chapter 75
Due to changing rules on Royal Road, I’ve preemptively removed all mentions of Patreon to not risk this story being taken down.=============================================================================Petrel wouldn't call the last few days the worstfew days of his life, but they were definitely up there. Betwe...
Chapter 74
Welcome back! Today’s chapter is slightly shorter as I ease myself back into writing. Monday’s chapter will be back to the normal length. Thank you for being patient!=============================================================================Sam didn’t sleep well that night. It didn’t help that he’d been sta...
Mental Health Break
The title of this post summarizes it pretty well. I need to take some time off just for myself and recover for a while. Expect to see chapters start to pick back up towards the end of the week. I'm taking Wednesday off on Royal Road, so I'll owe you chapters for today and last Friday.I'm sorry to go so long...
Chapter Pushed Back - Double Post on Monday
I wrote Chapter 73, went through and edited it, then sat back and realized I hated everything about it. This is a last minute schedule change that I'm deeply sorry for, but it's for the best that I scrap the chapter. I definitely think burnout has been affecting the quality of my writing.I'm hoping that tak...
Chapter 73
Sam knew he could crush this battle. He could constantly switch his team members in and out to overwhelm whoever they faced with status conditions. A Will-O-Wisp could lead into Hex, which didn’t need to be hidden in a private battle like this one. A Hypnosis could cause a flying Pokémon to plummet to the floor, ope...
Chapter 72
Sam couldn't take credit for Primeape's latest attack. Rock Slide was Redi's idea, as she suggested it to deal with flying Pokémon at a range. For her team, Porygon could accurately track even the speediest of Pokémon with its beam attacks, but Ursaring might as well have been a sitting duck. Hyper Beam w...
Chapter 71 - Morty Interlude
Chapter 69 has been split in two on Royal Road, so make sure you haven't missed the second half of that chapter before reading this one!=================================================================================Morty first heard the story soon after he became Ecruteak’s Gym Leader. The average person was mo...
Chapter 69 & 70
Author Note:The poll is now closed! If you want to see the final numbers, you can see the post itselfhere. Additionally, DooomCookie has made an incrediblebreakdown of every included species and what exactly they bring to Sam's team, which I highly recommend checking outhere! (Link is to a Google Sheets document.)I...
Chapter 68
Author Note:I’m in the process of adjusting the last two chapters, editing certain parts based on your feedback. The overall events won’t change, but I’m hoping to improve both Sam and Redi’s reactions to better match their characterization and growth so far.Thank you for reading! The edits will hopefully be in...
Chapter 67
Author Note:Part of the reason this chapter was delayed was because I didn’t want to break it up. It’s a bit longer than usual, so please, enjoy!=============================================================================There was a simple fun that came with shopping. Having money to spend, a willingness to splurg...
Chapter is Delayed
But only by a few hours.It needs to go through a few rewrites since the previous version was unrealistic and almost action movie-like. If you can't tell, there'll be a bit of a shift in the next update, but I don't want to completely turn the story on its head. It's going through extra rounds of editing...
Chapter 66
Author Note:I spent way more time focused on the pollthan I initially planned. There were over a hundred-sixty comments, and I’ve read every one. This chapter ended up a bit more rushed than I would have liked, but it should still be decent. If there’s anything that seems especially off, please tell me so I can giv...

Chapter 65
Sam’s alarm woke him up exactly at midnight. It was a compromise from when he had woken up a few hours later the last time he had done something like this. While slightly earlier, it was still deep enough into the night that the moon was at its peak, but this way, he wouldn’t need to sleep in as late the next morni...
Chapter 64 - Redi Interlude
Redi hadn’t taught any of her Pokémon a TM move before, but she had seen Sam do it, and it was just as easy as she had seen. All it took was returning Ursaring to his Pokéball, slotting him into a Pokémon Center machine, and then after inserting the TM disc, the machine read its contents to teach him the brand new...
Chapter 63
Author Note:A quick warning for this chapter, about a topic brought up in the second half:The start of the second half discusses a topic that I’m not personally a fan of. Namely, it discusses the source of protein in the Pokémon world and all that entails. If you aren’t interested in reading something like that, t...
Chapter 62
Author Note:As a reminder, there will be no chapter on Monday. Expect to see the next post on Wednesday.=============================================================================The annoying fact of this battle was how little Sam knew about Franklin's team. Sure, the freshly evolved Alakazam had extensively reve...
Chapter 61
After so many rounds of battling, the Violet City Tournament was entering its final phase. Two competitors were left to fight it out in a final match to determine who won overall.As no one wanted the finals to be a fight between exhausted Pokémon, the final round had the longest break before it, giving competitors a f...
Chapter 60
Hello! Two quick announcements.First off, I just want to say thank you to everyone who left a comment with their suggestions in the last chapter. There’s a lot of Ghost Type Pokémon out there, but I’ve definitely been able to narrow the list down. Not every Pokémon will get picked, but I hope the ones that do wil...
Chapter 59
If Sam wanted to win this tournament, he couldn’t ignore the current status of his team. Quilava had an injured leg, which prevented her from moving at her usual top speed. Also, Primeape had pushed himself far past the norm and was now utterly exhausted. He teetered in place whenever he was sent out. As for Haunter,...
Chapter 58
Author Note:Hello! My recent schedule has been a bit hectic, so a good chunk of this chapter was written and edited on my phone. Expect a few mistakes to have slipped through as well as errors introduced by autocorrect. If you see anything that looks off, please tell me and I will fix it as soon as I can!==============...
Chapter 57
Author Note:There is a cliffhanger at the end of this chapter.=============================================================================When the announcers described the bracket, they had described the battles in order. They started with Franklin’s battle in the top-left and ended with Sam’s battle in the bottom...
Chapter 56
Sam was ambushed the moment he left the lower hallways. The Machoke standing guard stepped to the side to let him out only for him to be rushed by a pair of reporters.“Hi, Samuel! I’m Marilyn with the Johto News Network! Would you be interested in a quick interview? The public is dyingfor answers!”The blonde woma...
Chapter 55
Author Note:Make sure you read the rest of Chapter 54, found here!=================================================================================In one match, a Skiploom used the air pressure caused by Water Guns to dance around a frustrated Corsola. In another match, a Jynx’s Powder Snow froze the horns of a Stant...

Author Note:This is the full version of Chapter 54, containing both Part 1 and Part 2 together! For those of you who have already read Part 1, the only tweak was the section about the Elite Four. You won’t miss anything if you skip to the new content, which is located after the break.Chapter 55 will be up shortly.===...
Chapter 54 (Part 1)
Author Note:Hello! I have two announcements for you.First off, today’s chapter is only the first part of Chapter 54. Due to writer’s block, I wasn’t able to get the second half into any decent state, but I’d rather post somethingrather than nothing at all. You’ll get the second half of Chapter 54 alongside Ch...
