Several months have passed since Hugo's encounter with Oblistrum. He's been on many adventures since then – he's witnessed Dawn losing in the final of whatever it is she was doing. He's witnessed his three friends 'chosen' as guardians for the trio of lake Pokémon. And he's even witnessed his good buddy Ash get one up on his rival Paul. Hugo knew this was coming, he still remembered when he obliterated Paul in battle towards the beginning of their journey. Speaking of total obliteration, Ash appeared to be on the wrong side of it at the moment. He was battling in the semi-final of the Sinnoh League, and he was already down 3 Pokémon, possibly about to become 4…

"Darkrai, Dream eater!" Tobias commanded. His dark type Pokémon's eyes glowed, indicating Ash's poor Sceptile was in big trouble.

That's right. Ash's opponent had a Darkrai! It's not often you come up against someone with a legendary Pokémon. No wonder Ash was struggling so much…

A look of determination was in Ash's eyes as he wouldn't give up, despite his bleak current scenario.

"Sceptile, come on! Snap out of it! Wake up Sceptile!"

Even from all the way over in the crowd, Hugo could clearly hear Ash's yelling. Incredibly, his Sceptile responded instantly.

"Alright, Sceptile use Leaf blade!" In a move that even stunned his legendary opponent, Ash's Sceptile was able to defeat Darkrai with a swift yet powerful strike.

Sitting in the crowd with him, Dawn, Brock, and their new friend Barry, were delighted with Ash's resilience.

Witnessing this incredible trainer, Hugo couldn't help but wonder about this guy's past and how he became so powerful. How did he capture the legendary Darkrai?

Then Hugo started to wonder about his own past. He knew minor details based on what his brother Hubert had told him, perhaps he should've stayed with him to learn even more. But Hubert was busy with his new job back in the village, being possessed by Olbistrum had left somewhat of a mental scar on the man, and he needed a break from battling and Pokémon. His new job consisted of him finding and supporting anyone affected by Olbistrum in any way, and helping them cope.

Hugo, on the other hand, had continued with his journey through Sinnoh. He and his brother were about to turn 21 years old, or at least that's how long it had been since they were found as babies. Watching the Sinnoh League, he'd seen trainers as old as 40 competing with the best, so Hugo was well aware that he could potentially have a long battling career ahead of him, if that's what he decided to do with his life. Hubert had given him his Tyranitar back, so his team, now consisting of a full party of 6, were looking really strong. Just like Ash's Sinnoh team, they were now all fully evolved with the exception of Shinx.

Unknown to Hugo, there was a story behind how he winded up being tossed through a portal, how he vaguely remembered Ash and how Team Rocket recognised him. It's a story nobody knew the full details of, so he'd never know the full truth. But here it is:

Hugo's story

Back in the Village of Giants, Hugo was growing more and more concerned about his brother. When he seems to keep going missing each day, Hugo secretly follows him to where he's been going. He discovers him in the rural mountains beginning to construct something with his Pokémon. After secretly observing him for a moment, he decides to confront him.

"Brother, what is going on?! What are you doing here?!"

Hubert turns around to look at Hugo, and by this point it's clear that he's totally possessed. His eyes are mysteriously shrouded in pitch black darkness.

"FOOL. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE COME HERE. BEGONE."

With that, he tosses a pokéball, summoning his legendary partner Oblistrum.

"NOW YOUR MEMORIES WILL FEED THE POWERFUL ONE." Hubert tells him.

With something clearly not right, Hugo runs as fast as he can, desparate to get away. The snowy landscape slowed him down, however, and things looked bleak as the speed Oblistrum loomed over.

Giving it everything he possibly could, Hugo ran and ran and ran.

"YOU SHALL REMEMBER NOTHING." A voice boomed from behind.

Oblistrum launched a powerful attack. What appeared to be a sort of portal appeared directly in from of Hugo. The portal clearly had its own gravitational field as Hugo felt himself being pulled towards it somehow. With every passing second, the portal's pull grew stronger. He did his best to remain standing where he was, but it was becoming more difficult.

"Why do you do this? Hugo asked, directing his question at Oblistrum rather than Hubert. It was Hubert who replied, from the distance. "I NEED MEMORIES." He told him.

Everything seemed hopeless. Just as Hugo was about to be sucked in, an unbelievable stroke of luck occurred.

A Pokémon had been hiding under the snow. As the portal pulled it, it was launched towards it. As this happened, it flew straight into Hugo, hitting him directly in the face. As Hugo was hit, he could see that this Pokémon was the psychic type, Abra. Frightened, the Abra used the move teleport in order to get away, bringing Hugo with it.

Hugo found himself teleported a few hundred yards away, towards the top of a steep, snowy hill. He immediately started to slide down uncontrollably, while the Abra that had saved him merely levitated elsewhere. His uncontrollable slide lasted almost a minute – by the time he reached the bottom his clothes were covered in snow. He was outside the village's outskirts now. Glancing up to the top of the hill, he saw his brother standing there, glaring at him. "I WILL CATCH YOU OFF GUARD. AND YOU WILL FORGET." He warned him.

Hugo did not tell anyone about what had happened. Feeling low on confidence, he spent the evening sat quietly in the home of Margaret – the woman who had taken care of him. Although the truth was, she took turns with several other villagers throughout his childhood, each having their hand in raising him alongside his brother.

Every part the battle enthusiast, he decided to watch the Hoenn League. He tuned in to see a battle in the second round. There were two young men battling it out. A chubby ginger called Morrison versus some overexcited guy with a cool looking cap called Ash. As Hugo watched this battle, he couldn't believe the effort the two trainers were putting into it. It came down to Ash's Glalie against Morrison's Metang. Just as it appeared that Morrison had the upper hand, an impressive manoeuvre by Glalie sealed victory for Ash. There was something about this Ash character that Hugo found massively inspiring. The guy was so determined and put his heart and soul into what he did. By watching this, Hugo was inspired to set out on an impossible mission.

The next morning, Hugo decided to run away. He left everything behind, without telling anyone. Well, he did leave a note for one person, but that's a story for another time…

First he made his way towards Snowpoint city. He was forced to make his way on foot. While travelling, he encountered an old woman, who was sat in the corner of a field, curled in a ball, appearing to be crying.

Wondering what was wrong and believing he should help, Hugo apporached this woman.

"Hi, are you ok?" He asked. To his surprise, the woman turned around to reveal the same dark eyes that Hubert possessed yesterday. "NO MATTER WHERE YOU RUN, I CAN FIND YOU." She told him. She launched a pokéball, revealing Oblistrum. Hugo immediately realised that this Pokémon had possessed multiple people, and perhaps all of the possessed people were able to summon its physical form. Would defeating this beast save these people?

No time to think about it, as Hugo was once again chased by this terrifying foe. He leaped over a ditch separating the field from the footpath leading towards the city. It was about to launch an attack until it heard something. The sound of trumpets, trombones, drum sets and other instruments could be heard. They were being approached by the Snowpoint City annual parade. The event was being shown on TV, so there were cameramen and camerawomen filming the occasion. There was also a Helicopter flying above, getting a birds eye view.

Oblistrum, clearly not wanting to get into public view, immediately retreated into the distance. Hugo was relieved. He had gotten lucky twice within 24 hours.

Was it possible to outsmart a legendary Pokémon? Hugo was not sure. But he was going to try. He knew it recognised him. If he continued to stroll around in the open he was going to get caught sooner or later. He hatched a plan. He needed to make himself impossible to recognise.

Having been mysteriously discovered at birth, there was no record of Hugo kept on any computers. His brother had challenged the Snowpoint City gym and lost. But Hugo himself, knowing he is no match for his brother, decided he was not ready to take on the gym. Therefore he'd never participated in an official battle. There was no record of him at all. He'd be tough to track down.

Oblistrum was controlling Hubert's mind – therefore, it probably knew which Pokémon Hugo possessed, just like Hubert knew. It knew about his two partners – Shinx and Kabutops. There was only one problem. Based on what his friend Mark had told him before he ran off, his Kabutops was said to have a heroic past. It's unclear what happened, but records suggest that his Kabutops sacrificed itself to defeat Oblistrum many years ago. Of course, Hugo had gotten the fossil restored thanks to modern technology, but he had a bad feeling that as long as he possessed Kabutops, Oblistrum would be able to find him. It would seek revenge on the Pokémon that caused it so much trouble. He explained this to his Kabutops, and it was clear that the prehistoric Pokémon understood this. Kabutops seemed to like Hugo, so it was disappointed but fully understanding and co-operative. What an awesome Pokémon to have!

On his way through Sinnoh, Hugo passed through a place known as Solaceon town. There were two people there he needed to talk to.

Upon knocking on the door of what he hoped was the correct building, he was greeted by a man with a warm smile, probably acquired from years of practise at greeting people.

"Good day young man, my goodness aren't you tall?! What brings you to Solaceon Town day care?"

"Hi, I would like to leave my Kabutops in your care please. Would that be ok?"

The man's smile made Hugo feel so welcome.

"Ah, Kabutops! A rare Pokémon indeed. Why don't you come in? We'll discuss this alongside my wife. Just watch your head on the doorframe."

"Hi there… wow, you're very tall." The man's wife greeted him, with an equally warm smile.

"So if it isn't too much trouble, I'd like to leave my Kabutops here if you don't mind."

"Certainly." She told him. "And for how long? A week? Two weeks?"

"Well actually..." Hugo began, realising he hadn't thought this through. "I don't really know. I'm not too sure when I'll be back."

"Oh dear..." The woman frowned.

"Young man, I am sorry, but this is not a place to dump your unwanted Pokémon if you no longer want them."

"Okay, what's the longest time you allow Pokémon to be dropped off for?" Hugo asked.

The couple made eye contact for a moment.

"Please allow us to discuss this in private." The man asked, and they made their way into the kitchen. Hugo felt really awkward. He looked outside. There was a teenage girl with bluish hair playing with a Shinx in the garden. There were also many other Pokémon present. A large variety of species.

The couple returned with some paperwork. "Considering that my husband and I are big fans of Kabutops, we are willing to make an exception for you. We will take care of your Kabutops for up to six months."

"That's great!" Hugo beamed.

"Now if you'll be able to make your payment and just sing here." The woman told him.

"FIVE HUNDRED POKÉ DOLLARS?! Oh no. I'm sorry. I can't possibly afford that." Hugo frowned.

"I'm sorry." The woman frowned. "We can't offer a lower price than that. I'm afraid you'll have to look elsewhere." She explained.

"Oh well, thank you anyway!" Hugo tried to cheer up.

Just as he was making his exit, the girl he'd seen earlier through the window entered the building.

"Mum! Shinx won't eat its food again!" She shouted in a panic.

"Oh no, not again!" The mother answered. "It's already so skinny. Why won't it eat it? Did you give it the right flavour, Angie?"

"Yes, of course I did!" Angie replied. "Shinx never eats any of the flavours though."

Hugo had just finished putting his shoes back on as he decided to help.

"Hi, I know it's not really any of my business, but I also have a Shinx as my partner and mine doesn't like that food either." He explained.

"Really?! You have a Shinx too? Can I see it?" Angie asked excitedly.

"Sure thing." Hugo smiled, sending out his partner.

"Shiiiinx!" His partner said hapilly. It wondered over to Angie's Shinx, which was at her feet, and began talking to it in a language only Pokémon can understand. It was clear to see that Angie's Shinx was much skinnier.

"But yours looks so healthy!" Angie exclaimed. "How do you get it to eat?"

"Well I live quite far north from here, and we have a lot of Snover. So I actually gave feet some food made especially for Snover out of desperation, but it loved it! Here. I have some in my bag. Your Shinx can try it." Hugo attempted to feed Angie's Shinx, who seemed reluctant to approach him at first, but once it caught a whiff of the food in his hand it gobbled it down, looking very happy afterwards.

"I-I don't believe it. Now I know what to feed Shinx! Thank you so much!" Angie was almost in tears she was so overjoyed. She gave Hugo one of those awkward hugs where one person is so much taller than the other, made even more awkward as he didn't dare to hug back since her parents were standing right behind her.

"Hehe. Well I have to get going. Thanks guys." Hugo said, eager to leave. He walked out of the door and was about to shut it.

"Wait." Called Angie's Father.

"I am touched by what I have just witnessed. You have done my daughter a great favour. Please, as our thanks, take this." He handed Hugo an egg.

"We were raising some Pokémon and my goodness, we were surprised! A Pokémon was holding an egg. We don't know how it got there, but we'd like you to have it." It was a jade green egg with no design.

"No, I couldn't possibly…

"Please, I insist. Take it as an apology for us not taking your Kabutops in. We're very busy here at the day care. You'd actually be doing us a favour taking it off our hands so it's one less Pokémon to care for.

"Wow, thanks. I don't know what to say…"

"Will you be attending Pokémon Summer camp next year?" Angie asked.

"I doubt it." Hugo smiled. "But you never know. Perhaps I could find some friends and go there as part of our journey around Sinnoh? Haha."

Hugo departed Solaceon Town shortly after that. He did of course meet Angie and her parents again during his journey with Ash, and they remembered him, explaining their encounter with him after hearing of his memory loss, so this is the only part of this story present day Hugo actually knows of.

Some time later, Hugo was just departing Hearthome city as part of his long journey to Sandgem town. He'd been travelling at quite a pace, determined to reach his destination as fast as he could. His egg that he'd been taking care of began to glow and before he knew it he was holding a baby Larvitar. Although he was pleased with the new addition to his team, he remained focused on his objective of reaching Sandgem Town.

(Hugo's encounter with Professor Rowan is shown in Chapter 2)

Hugo was eventually forced to make the decision to release Kabutops into the wild. (See chapter 11) Next, he needed to hide his identity. This meant he'd unfortunately have to refrain from using Shinx in battle, due to the possibility of Oblistrum recognising it. He also needed a disguise. He'd heard of some good clothes shops in a nearby place called Twinleaf Town.

After arriving in Twinleaf town Hugo made his way to their cheapest clothes shop. He purchased a black hoodie and balaclava. He went into the changing room and tried them on. Perfect fits. In his new, secretive attire, he made his way over to the checkout when – OOF! He wasn't watching where he was going. He bumped into some girl with blue hair who looked just a little younger than him. He knocked her onto the floor, causing her to drop her shopping basket containing a large amount of items.

"I'm so sorry." He told her. Embarrassed, he gathered all of her stuff for her. "No need to worry." She smiled. "Accidents happen. But tell me, why are you hiding your face?" She asked. "Well...um...it's a long story." He explained. "Um… sorry. I've gotta go." And with that, he rushed off.

"What a weirdo." The blue haired girl from Twinleaf town said to herself.

'Phew… that was embarrassing. At least, chances are, I'll never see that person again.' Hugo thought to himself.

Time for the final phase of his plan. Oblistrum was obviously most influential in Sinnoh. Hugo had to leave. He could just barely scrape together the money for a one-way boat trip to another region. His options were limited. He could afford to travel to either Kanto or Johto. He tossed a coin to decide. Heads Kanto. Tails Johto. It landed on heads. So off the Kanto he went.

He arrived in a small town called Pallet Town. Keeping himself secretive, he stayed in Pallet Town for two weeks trying to decide what to do next. He battled a few trainers with his Larvitar in order to win prize money to afford to stay at the Pokémon Centre and buy food, and was able to win the majority of his battles. He did lose to some cocky guy named Gary Oak, but that was his only loss among a number of wins.

Remembering his two encounters with Oblistrum, he was determined to improve his level of fitness so he'd be able to escape if he ended up in the same situation again. He worked out a lot, which meant he ate a lot too. Apparently Larvitar need to eat a mountain of soil before evolution, but Hugo's Larvitar evolved while eating its dinner just under two months after being hatched from its egg. It was supposed to take at least four months for a Larvitar to evolve, so Hugo realised he'd been working out so much that he and his Pokémon had twice the appetite of your average guy.

Hugo had now been staying in Pallet Town for an entire month. He really liked it there. It seemed like the perfect location for young aspiring trainers to begin their journey from. The famous Professor Oak lived there too, and Hugo really wanted to meet him, but did not want any of the residents to learn of his identity. He had explained to Nurse Joy that he kept to himself because of special personal circumstances, and she respected that. However, having spent so long living there, many of the locals were starting to speculate about him, and he overheard numerous instances of people talking about him when they thought he wasn't listening. They were growing more suspicious of him. After one month of staying there he decided he needed to leave. But he had no destination.

Then one day, he was on his way back from his secret workout location on the outskirts of town, a decent sized field with a small hill blocking it from the view of anyone in town. It was out of the way of anything interesting so nobody seemed to go there at all. As he was making his way through town, he noticed something, or rather, someone. He recognised this person. It was Ash Ketchum. The person he'd watched on TV fighting in the Sinnoh League. He wondered what an inspirational character like him got up to in his daily life. He decided to observe him while staying hidden. While watching Ash, he could make out a bit of what was being said, mainly due to Ash talking so loud due to being so easily excitable. He learned that Ash was taking a short, month long break from journeying to spend time with his family and his Pokémon, since being at Professor Oak's lab meant he wasn't limited to seeing just six of them at once. Today marked the end of his stay, though, and he was about to meet up with his friend, apparently called Brock, who had also been spending time with his family this past month. However, three more of his friends, Misty, May and Max, had paid him a surprise visit. This Misty character seemed to REALLY like Ash. Not that Ash noticed.

Shortly before setting off on his journey, Ash encountered three peculiar characters referring to themselves as Team Rocket. He'd seen a few of these Team Rocket grunts during his time in Pallet town, but these three seemed goofier than the rest. They were absolutely obliterated by Ash and his Snorlax, and sent flying into the distance.

Hugo decided to find out where these guys were going to end up. He ran as quickly as he could in the direction the trio were launched – he'd gotten much faster recently.

He found the trio stuck in a tree on the outskirts of Route One.

"So who exactly are you supposed to be?" He asked them, without revealing his own face.

The trio remained lying among the tree branches for a moment looking in pain, until they suddenly burst into life.

"Prepare for trouble from beyond the skies." The woman began, springing to her feet on the ground.

"From beyond the stars, a nasty surprise!. The man joined in.

"An evil as old as the galaxy..."

"...Sent here to fulfill our destiny."

"Plus, there's me!" Said the… Meowth? Hugo had never heard a Pokémon talk before.

"To denounce the evils of truth and love."

"To extend our reach to the stars above."

"Jessie."

"James."

"And Meowth are the names."

"Anywhere there's peace in the universe..."

"...Team Rocket will be there to make everything worse."

"Woooooobbuffet"

"Cool. So, you guys follow Ash around, right?"

"We do more dan follow, pal, we're gonna get dat Pikachu one day." Meowth replied.

"Yeah, sure. Well, if you ever need help, I'll be around." And with that Hugo dashed off.

"The nerve of him-" Jessie fumed. "Team Rocket never need help."

"HELP! WE NEED HELP!" Team Rocket cried.

After being blasted off by Pikachu, they'd landed in the wavy sea. And they were in trouble. You could even make it double…

"We're drowning!" Called out James.

"Help!" Cried Jessie.

"Dis Cat don't like gettin' his paws wet!" Cried Meowth.

Just as things were looking bad, a giant wave approached. Surfing atop was none other than our tall protagonist. As he came past, in a feat of strength, he grabbed all three of the Rocket Grunts, scooping them up in his arms. Unfortunately, this off-set his balance and he fell into the water himself. Luckily, though, the trio were able to grab onto his surf board and use it to safely return to land. In the meantime, Hugo was a strong enough swimmer to simply swim ashore.

Throughout all of this, Hugo was only wearing a pair of shorts, so the trio were able to see his identity. Luckily, they were unaware that he was the same mysterious character that had been following Ash around just like them.

"Th-thank you." James spluttered.

"No big deal." Hugo grinned.

"We'll get ya back one day pal." Meowth offered.

"Doubt it, but thanks." Hugo smiled.

And with that, he grabbed his board and took off…

Throughout the next couple of months, Hugo secretly followed Ash & co. around on their journey. He battled other trainers while he was at it, but never revealed his name or used his Shinx. He was just some mysterious guy with a Pupitar. No way would Oblistrum discover it was him… or so he thought.

Hugo was truly inspired by Ash and his friends. One day, he decided to challenge him to a battle, remaining as secretive as possible. Hugo and his Pupitar were no match for the power of Ash and Pikachu.

Another month passed and Hugo challenged Ash to a rematch, again refusing to reveal himself. He put up a better fight but again Pupitar lost.

Even more time passed by, and Hugo was full of determination. He challenged Ash to one last battle and used all of his might. The battle was so intense that his Pupitar evolved halfway through. Again though, incredibly, Hugo and Tyranitar lost to Ash and Pikachu.

Hugo couldn't think any more highly of this incredible trainer. However, he had another problem. There were wanted posters appearing in some towns they visited. Posters with Hugo's picture! Somehow, Oblistrum was spreading its influence to Kanto.

After Ash completed his journey through Kanto, Hugo was unsure what to do next. He decided he'd toughened himself up throughout his time in Kanto, though. He headed for one final showdown with his brother Hubert. A long journey brought him all the way back to Snowpoint city. However, just as he was departing, a hand grabbed his shoulder and he was teleported. He'd been caught. He appeared before Hubert. Immediately, he grabbed his hoodie and balaclava and threw them to the side – he wouldn't be needing them any more. By this point, words were not needed. Hugo launched two pokéballs. One summoned Shinx, the other Tyranitar. Hubert sent out an army of Pokémon – Magmortar, Tangrowth, Luxio and of course, Oblistrum. Hugo commanded for his Pokémon to attack, but then he noticed it – the big portal behind them… and you should know the rest of the story. (The final part of the story is in Chapter 11, to see where Hugo ends up, see chapter 1).

Epilogue

Ash had been defeated in the Sinnoh League. But nevertheless, Hugo was proud of his friend. He'd come a long way on his journey. So had the whole gang – except maybe Brock, who spent most of the journey flirting with nurses and officers. What would be in store for Hugo and his friends next? Another region? Another adventure? Another story? Who knew? But whatever happened, he would cherish his memories of his time in Sinnoh forever. And this time, nobody was going to take them away.

Although this storyline was planned from the beginning, I have made several changes including scrapping the bold speech and different POV's. Regardless, I hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as I've enjoyed writing it.

This is not the end for Hugo. In fact, it is barely the beginning. He has another adventure within him, and this one's even bigger…

A few years ago a young man by the name of Ask Ketchum travelled through his home region of Kanto. Now, some time after his journey ended in a last 16 defeat in the Indigo league, much has changed within the region.

"I've made a decision. I'm going to Kalos." Hugo suspected this may happen. His good friend Ash was leaving him for another journey.

"Good luck man. You'll conquer Kalos while I conquer Kanto!" After an emotional farewell, the two friends parted ways.

"This is it team. We'll conquer all the gyms of Kanto and aim for victory in the league!" Hugo states confidently to his Pokémon team. He's now changed his clothes slightly. He now wears a plain white vest with black shorts that almost reach his knees and black trainers.

Full of optimism, Hugo sets out on a journey to collect gym badges. Or so he thinks… As if anything's ever gonna be that simple.

"You should leave while you still can young man. This place is much more deadly than it seems..." An elderly woman warns as she lay on her death bed.

A seemingly simple adventure takes an unexpected twist…

"So how about it young man? A friendly double battle." An arrogant man challenges Hugo.

'Something's wrong. Is that a gun in his pocket?'

"This is what you must do to achieve your destiny." An old man now speaks to Hugo, who looks upset due to recent events.

Reunited with friends much sooner than expected…

We see Dawn sat at home in Sinnoh. She's staring at a photo framed at her bedside. It's of herself, Ash, Brock and Hugo. As she stares, a sad smile forms on her face. A tear can be seen sliding down her cheek onto the floor below.

A news reporter is now shown on TV. "...As a result of this, all gyms in Kanto will now be closed until this issue can be resolved. The next Indigo league has now been cancelled."

We now see Brock pacing around at his home in Pewter city. "I can't just sit around twiddling my Thumbs. I need to take action and I need to do it now!"

Together, they will discover the Pokémon world's darker side…

We now briefly see several different scenes all focusing on Hugo. First he's using two trees to do some pull-ups. Next he's engaged in an intense battle with an unknown opponent. He appears to have the upper hand. After that, he's lying on a rocky floor clutching his Arm appearing to be in a lot of pain. Finally he's stood very close to the edge of a cliff which appears to be on Mt Moon. It overlooks a good portion of Kanto. The shot is from behind so his facial expression can't be seen. As we zoom out, we see Shinx stood close beside him as the wind rustles the grass around them.

The sequel to the anime-based story 'I Don't Remember' where Hugo discovers a darker side to the Pokémon World!

"And who might your parents be young man?" A stranger asks.

"My… parents..." Hugo looks very deep in thought for a brief moment until the scene changes again.

When evil is afoot, can our strong hero take down evil while dealing with the countless issues arising from his forgotten past?

Hugo and Shinx battle against a Snorlax belonging to an unknown trainer.

Coming in 2018.

Hugo can be seen laughing hysterically. Shinx looks up to him, confused, as if to ask why he's laughing. "You know what's funny? At one point I actually believed I'd just be going on a journey to collect badges. BWAHAHA!"

WARNING: Unlike its predecessor, this story will be much darker. Contains strong violence, sexual references, mild language and scenes of serious injury/death. Rated M for mature audiences only.

That's right! A new adventure! I'm super excited! The first couple of chapters are already written. If you thought this story was ok, you'll love the next one. There's gonna be gags, intense moments, and quite a lot of feels :-(

THE PLAN IS TO RELEASE IT ON FEBRUARY 7TH TO MARK THE 1-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THIS STORY, BUT IT MIGHT COME EARLIER THAN THAT.

Thanks a lot for reading guys. Enjoy the Pokémon games and anime, and I hope you have a fantastic 2018. See you soon!
