Author's Notes: Normally I hate author's notes, so if you want to dive right in, just skip this chapter. Right now.

Anyone still here? Good, I guess. I'll try to keep it short. This chapter contains a table of contents and a backstory to the story. (A ministory-prologue kinda)

This story is a challenge to myself of a hundred character-centric themes grabbed from a search. They're episodic but branch into an overarching story. I will post the chapters in groups of 10. They're short, so there's not a lot of content per chapter. At least with a table of contents, you readers can find specific chapters with characters you like. At the end, there will be a long epilogue that breaks all the rules set for this story to branch everything together.

If anyone has frequent world-building or character questions, I'll drop the answers here. I'd recommend checking out the character list and world information for bare basics.

World Information

In this world, there are no humans and no Pokémon, only gijinkas that eventually resulted from the two. Gijinkas appear mostly human ( with the exception of Technicolor hair and eyes) but have the abilities and movesets of their Pokémon counterparts. All gijinkas have a gender. All legendary gijinkas are actually the legendary Pokémon they represent taking gijinka form (unlike all other gijinkas). If needed, legendary gijinkas can assume Pokémon form, but they usually prefer not to. Evolution is not restricted to age. One transforms upon evolving, but basic features remain the same- clothes may change. There is no surefire way for a gijinka to know for sure what species of Pokémon they take after.

Chapter Covers

For each 10 chapters I'm going to change the the focus character(s) of the cover. It'll help identify the characters a little too.

Chapters 1-10 : Dante
