483 days since I last posted my first chapter. (If you have not read it, and are interested in the story so far, here's the first chapter!)
115 days since I made an announcement about continuing the PMDE story, and making headway.
60 days to figure out how to keep my story going. (A lot of face-palms and thinking involved.)
47 days after reading something (If you are reading this, you know who you are, and I just wanted to say thank you for helping me out in my dark time. You are AWESOME.)
And 20 days to make sense with my story I’m making.
It took me a while. A really long while to figure out what to do. And to be honest, I was down for a bit. But eventually, I found a way. I’ve been in the shadows, but there’s nothing wrong with that going there. Besides, I’m taking my own pace at this. And if anything, I’m having a lot of fun. And that’s what matters.
After all that, Chapter 2 is DONE! I’m proud to have this done. I was trying to make headway with my announcement, but I couldn’t get anywhere. I guess I had a “writers block”, and I felt like giving up. I really wanted to.
That was one of the motivations to get it done. So I just pushed myself to see, and this came out into a result.
It happens. To everyone at some point I guess. But it’s more of a fun learning experience than anything.
Chapter 3 is in the works! (I won’t take forever with the continuation as things are finally starting to get interesting!) Until then!
Also, if you’re wondering why there isn’t an illustration(s) or anything up yet, it’s because I wanted to get my chapter done first before making the illustration myself. I know that’s a bit far off, but I’ve been delaying this chapter for over a year, soooo when it goes up, it will be there! And I’m sorry to keep anyone who is interested waiting! Thanks for your awesome support!

PMDE Prolouge Chapter 2 ~ Bits and Pieces
~
“W-what do you mean you can’t remember your name?!” cried the nameless blue dog in panic with tears starting to form in his eyes. The others surrounding Jack had concerned and shocked looks on their faces.
“Whoa...I had no idea it could have come to this...why..?” said Jean with a sad look.
“Oh no...this isn’t good...” said Raleigh with a concerned look.
Mike on the other hand had a more serious grim face than shocked as he was still taken a bit from the surprise. “This shouldn’t have happened...something needs to be done...” he mumbled, and started to walk away from the bed from the others towards a corner of the room ready to destroy something, but was restraining and trying to calm himself and think in frustration. He then noticed the Pokémon that were still peering in the wall. Mike began to sweat drop.
"We need to get this under control..." Mike thought quickly, "Folks, don't worry a

"Man, that kid can run fast!" said a frustrated Jean who was trying to chase after the nameless Riolu that ran off from Jack and the others from earlier. They trailed him leaving the Pokèmon Village, and was heading to the outskirts of the Forest.
"*Huff huff huff* Maybe if you didn't HIT HIM, *huff* maybe we wouldn't be *huff huff* dealing with this mess!" said a staggering Raleigh right behind Jean trying to keep up with her.
"..." Jean felt the guilt from doing what she did to the poor Riolu from earlier. She really did. She wanted to make things right.
"Aw, c'mon, Raleigh! We could use the exercise! We have been slacking off from a few missions anyway..." Jean said, as she looked back with a cheesy smile looking back at her partner. Jean was trying to make the best out of the situation of what she could.
"HA, *huff* HA, *huff* HAA" said R

I’m just going to pull a Pit quote here “Sorry to keep you waiting!” *flies away*
*5 minutes is up, wings return to normal, and falls from the sky*

After all that, Chapter 2 is DONE! I’m proud to have this done. I was trying to make headway with my announcement, but I couldn’t get anywhere. I guess I had a “writers block”, and I felt like giving up. I really wanted to.
“But why give up, when you can just see what happens when you’re finished with it?”
That was one of the motivations to get it done. So I just pushed myself to see, and this came out into a result.
“Sometimes you have to take the reins and steer the story all by yourself. It will help you grow as a writer.”
It happens. To everyone at some point I guess. But it’s more of a fun learning experience than anything.
“So…what now?”
Chapter 3 is in the works! (I won’t take forever with the continuation as things are finally starting to get interesting!) Until then!

So how does one continue?

"Isn't that the question of the day..."
Even I would like to know. I mean really....
"Nah...after what happened...you can't do it."
..How do I even continue something for a story and an idea that was shot down and burned? How do I continue where I had this idea to have some of my favorite characters that I looked up to be a part of a story that I wanted to create from others and gave myself some hope to create my own story to be something I should have joined a while back but never had that courage to step in and try until it was past too late?
"...Well..."
How do I continue on waiting for a reply that never came and sending a reason that was somehow also ignored as well? Where I had this idea that came out of my head and I took a leap of faith, hits me with courage to get it done, and it just can't seem to have others communicate with a small conversation. Well I can think of a few things, but I guess I'm not that great with communicating. I don't know. I know that I'm not great with speaking out about big stuff, but at least I tried....
"Maybe you're not good enough. Or maybe you're not skilled to be on their level where they are. Maybe you're not trying enough. They have a group made, and maybe they don't want anyone to interfere with their progress. How would I know? Maybe they want to do things in their way, and just thought you were a flake. Maybe some people wanted to just wanted you to go away and not reply to you. Maybe.
Just maybe."
hmm..well...I..
"What is it?"
...That's not true.
"...What?"
I was waiting for a reply from two of the users from their created teams. I was hoping to ask them all at once, but I wanted to try to see if I could go with one at a time. I was hoping they would reply. I waited. And waited. And after a few messages, one of them stopped replying to me. But..I've seen what they can do. They are amazing artists with a awesome talent. They have lives, and they have their own emotional stuff and personal stuff going on. I respect that. Everyone has a reason. I know I can't beat myself up or get down on that.
"Oh but you're not upset about it? That they didn't even reply back!?"
..No. Not even the slightest.
"..."
*end of a conversation* *continuing an explanation however...*
..I waited for a while. Maybe it's my fault that I didn't speak out faster or maybe they didn't want to join. I don't even know if they even read my messages. (Btw if you guys are reading this *the ones who I asked* I mean no hard feelings) maybe they looked and thought it couldn't be possible. Or maybe it was a joke. It did bring me down emotionally however, so this is why I haven't made a new chapter for a while. I was left in a rut.
So what have I done since after waiting and NOT getting a reply from the past few months?
I've been working on my story silently.
I just want to create my story, and continue. I want to practice more and draw. I want to try to turn it into a comic. It's no easy task. But with learning on my own, I hope that I can deliver that. I look at other amazing artists here and I get inspired to continue my story. It's not just a story. It's something I want to create and give myself a pat on the back that I *myself* have done. Am I still borrowing a few characters for my next chapter?
..Yeah...but I hope to edge them out with respect of that creators own Pokémon team. Unless they don't want me to. They'll have to message me on that. They gave me a yes for their team, so I'm not sure but it's up to them if they want to.
"Choices...people have made them." But that's the choice they made not to reply. And you know what? That's ok. They made a choice. I understand. (Or they didn't even see my message in the first place and it was not a big deal after all)
Do these artists I asked still inspire me? Yeah, they do. They're amazing artists with a talent. I always will cheer for them.
I'll do my best to create Chapter 2 with what I want to do. So after I make this journal, I want to keep going. I have a great storyline made, but I'm still working on a few scene for chapter 2 to have it make sense with what I'm doing to click to the other chapters.
Also, I hope to draw more. I would like to get more into that.
But I want to thank to anyone who was interested in my story. I've noticed my views rising on here during the past year. You guys are awesome! Seeing these numbers from my first chapter and my main page views rise brought me back to get going. I just wanted to say THANK YOU.
