A/N:

It's been awhile since this story got an update. I took a break from it for a couple months during which time my computer had broke. I haven't gotten it fixed or purchased a new one. Even now I'm typing this on my phone.

I had the rest of the story planned out for Kanto and a decent idea on where I would take the story after that. During the time the last 10 or so chapters had gotten written X and Y had just come out and I had just got into competitive battling. I learned a lot about Pokemon that I never knew before and it made me rethink some of the directions I was taking the story. That, plus the new mechanics X and Y introduced threw my plans for a loop.

There's also the matter of my own inexperience with writing. This was only my second story ever written. The first one was much worst, filled with cringe worthy fan service and many characters acting OOC to fit my story. While I did much better this time around I noticed a lot of mistakes when I went back and re-read my work. The spelling and grammar mistakes, the terrible "sex" scene with Natalie, and the fact that I shoe horned the idea about Jet being able to communicate telepathically with his Pokemon halfway through the story were chief among them.

That last bit I actually had a plan for. That being said it would have made a lot more sense to put that bit in the story from the beginning rather than the middle of the story. Honestly this whole thing has been a learning experience.

I don't want to abandon this story because I think it has a lot of merit, (even if it was sloppily executed). I toyed with the idea of doing a re-write. Heavily edit some scenes, add some new ones, and give the story an overall polish. Leaving the story how it is and continuing just doesn't sit right with me.

But what do you guys think? Does this story deserve a rewrite? Would you rather I abandon it and tell you what happens? Let me know what you think. If I do a re-write, it will have to wait until Sun and Moon comes out. I want to play through that game first before I began writing the story again. I'd also appreciate some beta readers. The first time around I didn't bother with proof reading, and you guys see the result.

Let me know what you think. I really appreciate the feedback!
