Hey guys!

It's me, Claudette14 but I changed my username to 96th Scorpio a while ago. This is not an update, but please do read this long message from me (if you ever cared about this story). This chapter/message will be or might be deleted after everything. Thank you.

First of all, I would like to apologize for sort of abandoning my two stories – Brawlers are on their way (Bakugan) & A Visit to the Past (Pokemon). To be honest, I lost inspiration and dedication plus school works are heavy. I became a member of this site (fanfiction) back in 2009, and I was just a kid back then. I was 12 years old, really who would've thought of that huh? Thinking about it right now, I'm suddenly amazed with my younger self for being so creative with my stories despite the lack of knowledge on things and having a horrible grammar (English is not my first language after all). Like how? Right! It's been 9 years already since I joined fanfiction. And on that same year I created two stories which were popular during those times because I want to let out all my imaginations. After stopping writing at 2012 (I was in HS during this time hehe), once in a while I still read fanfics here, that's probably why I have almost 1k favorite stories, but I never got my inspiration back. I also stopped watching Bakugan and Pokemon at one time in my life. Don't get me wrong, I love the shows and up to now I still want to watch or re-watch everything. There was also I time I totally stopped with fanfics but thank the heavens I was able to come back here and continue reading. Please do know that I always thought of continuing both stories, honest! Because I know how it feels like read a discontinued, hiatus, abandoned story, and it's not good because you are not satisfied. And even though I want to continue years ago, I never really had the chance to do it. Maybe because of lack of time or something, but I'm sure it's definitely about losing my inspiration. AND I AM DEEPLY SORRY!

Second, I would like to thank each and everyone of you for your love and support. I am overwhelmed with all your reviews, positive or negative, I thank you all. For a 12-13 year old girl, I think I did a good job. *pats self* A while ago, I decided to read the reviews, which I haven't done in a long time and I am shocked that someone was still reading my story at 2017! And a lot of readers are asking for an update years after I stopped writing. I am deeply moved that someone is still thinking and/or reading this story (both stories actually). Imagine that from 2012-2017 I still get reviews once in a while. Thank you so much! But did you know even before reading the reviews, I was actually thinking of revamping my account and continuing both of my stories? It took me a while, 9 years to be exact, to have courage and a little hope in doing this. If you're wondering why I changed my username, it's because I'm an organized person. I want to separate my personal identity with my hobbies. A while ago, before I start writing this message or even reading the reviews or even looking at chapter 1 (I'M CRINGING AT THE WAY I WRITE MY CHAPTERS OMG. I CAN'T EVEN READ UNTIL THE END OF CHAPTER 1 -_- *sigh*), for an hour or so I kept on thinking of what name I should use as my author 'alter ego' and it took me a while before I got the name right. I also created a separate email account solely for the purpose of anything related to fanfics/stories. Besides, it will be more organized now that I have a new email account I can use. And also because it's 2018 and I'm almost 20+ now, time to be more mature, more grown up and be an adult. #adulting101.

I am here right now contemplating whether I should continue this or not. I know I have the responsibility to finish it but what can I do if I am not inspired? Although I can just discontinue it or just leave it there. I am not even sure if my readers are still interested. Why, are you still interested in this story? Please do let me know. I am still lacking and it's possible that I won't have a lot of time in the future once I find a job, but then again no one has a lot of time in their hands nowadays right? So at the moment, I am very unsure of myself. 9 years is not a joke, I am not like my old self so has a lot of creative ideas (yes, I'm still creative in my own mature way but not like a kid who thinks you can solve world peace). If I do this again, I would need to (a) read my stories to be more familiarize and aware of what happened. (b) possibly watch the anime again, especially in Bakugan. (c) brainstorm and outline the whole plot again. And it would take time, who knows if I might lose my concentration along the way. And I would have to rewrite everything and make sure to fix my errors. So Idk tbh!

Lastly, I need your opinions on this. You can PM me anytime or write a review. Oh, by the way, I made a poll in my profile whether I should continue or not, please do vote. Please do let me know on what you think about everything I said. And don't mind my profile, I haven't fixed it yet.

Once again, I would like to sincerely thank you for all your love and support. I would not be writing and posting this right now without you~~

P.S. Idk what chapter this is in Brawlers are on their way but I know Vladitor is evil, but I want him to be good and be Alice's. Besides when I was writing this years ago, the anime was not done okay? I know they have like 5 or 6 seasons? And during that time there was only 3 or 4 seasons I think. I'm sorry if I offended you but I'm the author and that's what I want to happen hehe. It's already 1:30AM, time to rest.

Thank you for reading everything,

Claudette14 / 96th Scorpio
