Information for everyone to hear. I was planning on finishing The War of Hope and was hoping to re-write Inner Strength, but that has changed now. I am enlisting in the United States Army, so for obvious reasons I simply wont be able to do those two things listed above. If you are interested in finishing The War of Hope yourself then please by all means go right on ahead; I probably wont be here to actually give you permission so I am giving everyone that wants to permission to do so. However Inner Strength is something else. If you are interested and willing to continue Inner Strength (which surprisingly a bunch of people want to do, based off of all of this mail I keep receiving) then I would prefer to actually give you permission ahead of time. If you email me before January 2012 then I should be able to read it and answer it.

Besides that, I would like to bid everyone farewell for now and probably for a long time. I had an amazing time writing these stories, imagining the twists and the turns in the plots as I typed them up even kept me on the edge of my seat. I just wish that I still had that motivation for writing as I did before so that I could re-write everything of mine and make my stories even better. However, if there is anything I have learned in my life, it would be that sometimes things end the way people don't want them to end.

Look at me, writing as if these will be my last words. Well, for all I know, these possibly could be. So again I would like to tell everyone good-bye and to tell all of my fans that I love them and their support they have given me. I have read everything said by my fans and I have loved every word I have heard; even if you think I have not seen your comment or message, I have seen them.

It has been a great journey, but now I must take on a new journey.

The stories I have made so far:

Inner Strength Complete

It's based off the T.V series, Pokemon. It starts off with Ash and the gang trying to find their way to the next town, but then weird stuff happens when they come to a fake town. Before you know it, Ash gets turned into a Pikachu! I love action and twists in books, so I put a cuple in this one. If you like stories that has , action, twists, and romance (for all you Pokeshippers or Advanceshippers)!

The War of Hope Stopped. No more chapters will be made!

The year is around 3050 A.D. An organization called RAM has taken over the world for about 60 years and has ruled with an iron fist. All the humans have been treated horribly by the RAM and have lost all hope of peace. It has been about 50 years sense a Pokemon has ever seen a human or vice-versa. . .until one Pikachu goes into human territory. He meets a young male human and finds out how bad the RAM have been to the humans. He takes critical measures to try to save the male human and to save the world.

Hocus Pocus 1.5 (sorry, forgot how to make this a link, so link is below.) Stopped. No more chapters will be made!

It hasn't even been a day since Ash had just been turned into a Pikachu by the Poké Witch they had just met before. Misty and Brock still have no idea how long it will take for him to change back, so they all just say to just wait. However, nothing can be that easy...

(I do not own Pokemon or any of the Pokemon characters/items. But, the characters that I have made do belong to me. MINE!)

Anyways, a big thanks to everyone who took their time to either read my story or read this. THANKS!
