Hello there.

I'm writing here to inform you that as of right now, Quest is hereby discontinued.

This particular version anyway.

Y'see, looking at it now, there's a reason Quest hasn't been updated in so very long.

I've ended up making it a damn mess!

In that I may have gotten a bit too ambitious with this story to the point where even I don't know where Pokemon are, and which Pokemon are with them, where they're going, where they've been, so on and so forth.

So what I'm going to do, is I'm going to go back, and give this story one big overhaul.

If you've seen my other Mystery Dungeon inspired/based stories, Life and Times of a Not So Normal Guild, and Face the Music (shameless plug alert!) the characters' names, for starters have changed either slightly, or completely. In that Gracie is just Gracie, Flarea (I didn't even know how to pronounce this name when I thought it up) is just Flare, and Karu has been changed completely to Fang. So in this new version, their names will be given the names introduced in Face the Music.

Other things that will be changed as well, are things such as where and when the main characters evolved, how they evolved, how long the gap is between the end of Explorers' main story and the start of Return.

Another reason for the rewrite? Looking back at the first chapter of Return, I realise that what may have sounded cool back then...just sounds cringy to me now. Some of it sounds like something straight out of an anime, because at the time, I was on a major Fairy Tail (sub anyway) hype train, especially with the Tartarus arc starting off in the manga. Nowadays, watching RWBY and the likes, I look back and just...have to sigh. Loudly.

Also, there's another thing to note, that was pointed out to me, which I've managed to avoid for the most part.

Music prompts. AKA which music would be recommended, to set the tone so to speak. They littered Return like air bubbles litter my Switch Screen Protector. Very annoyingly.

So there we have it.

The new version will take a bit of time to get up, but please bear with me. I want to get this done right, and you can't rush perfection as they say, no sirree!

So if you still want to read this saga, or have no clue what I'm talking about, and are interested, put me on author alerts if you haven't done so already, so that when the first chapter or two get published, it'll be in your email straight away. And hopefully updates won't take up to two years :D.

For now though, wherever you are, and whatever you're up to, have a good day, and keep on being amazing!
