Hey everyone! I was a long time reader of fanfiction.net (almost 10 years) before I finally got account for myself. If an idea for a story sparks in my mind, I'll be sure to write it down. I'll update as often as I can, but there may be a few inconsistencies. One thing is certain, I am determined to finish whatever I start. As a fellow reader, I know it's rather depressing to see a good story never completed. I'm bent on finishing this series no matter how long it takes!

My Top Ten Favorite Pokemon Anime Human Characters (Updated 10/11/2019)

1. May- Yes. Still the top favorite, and it's just reinforced now that I'm in the Hoenn Arc of my series. She isn't going anywhere.

2. Dawn- She'll probably stay up here, too. Still quite a ways from getting to write about her, though.

3. Serena- She won't be going any lower on my list, either. The stuff I have planned for her is just beginning! Could she usurp Dawn? Maybe, but she has to work for it! A reappearance in the anime, perhaps? Not likely, but it's fun to speculate!

4. Lillie- Being cute and adorable is definitely Lillie's thing. However, it can't get her any higher on my list. She'll probably stay here a while. No changes in the top four.

5. Ash-See what winning a league will do to your placement, Ash? You move up a bit. You still can't beat the top girls yet. Also, after seeing the art style for the next Galar series, Ash's design looks a lot better than it did in Sun/Moon. His dopey look his gone to be replaced with something more normal. Things are looking up for Ash!

6. Kiawe- With the Sun/Moon arc ending, that means there will be no more Kiawe. I'm going to miss this guy as he provided a lot of laughs from me with how over the top he was. It's hard to forget the look Kiawe had on his face when Lana got a home run on his fastball in the baseball episode.

7. Mallow- Good for you, Mallow! Keep being your usual cheerful and friendly self, and your Tsareena is awesome, too!

8. James- I had to remind myself of why James is still in the top 10. Rose-boy and the Mighty Moltres. His affectionate Pokemon making him miserable are the only things that cause me to chuckle when Team Rocket shows up since they're in every episode doing the same exact thing.

9. Brock- Brock's still hanging in there. He's faring much better than a couple of others that have recently left. Still, it would be extremely hard for him to get where he once was.

10. Misty- An unexpected resurgence of Misty managing to make it in the top 10. With her being in the original gang, it's difficult to keep her out forever with how nostalgic it is to think about when I watched her, Ash, and Brock when when I was a kid. She'll always be the quick-tempered, mallet-wielding, yet surprisingly sweet girl we all know and love.

Top 10 favorite Pokemon in general:

1. Heracross- It's a freaking stagbeetle that kicks a whole bunch of butt and has excellent attacks to utilize its strength! It's so cool! I can remember always wanting one back in the days of Gold/Silver. I leaped for joy when I finally found one for the first time.

2. Hawlucha- A very unique combination of fighting/flying and even gets a signature move. I could imagine this thing in a wrestling match. I always name mine "Nacho Libre" in the games if I catch one.

3. Dragonite- The original dragon from gen 1 just oozes greatness. It looks cool and is no slouch in battle. What's not to love about this thing?

4. Greninja- It's a ninja frog that can throw shurikens made of water. Enough said.

5. Chikorita- Okay. I love how cute this thing is and its adorable voice to go along with. I can like cute things even though I'm a guy!

6. Metagross- An excellent combination of psychic/steel with a boatload of moves and resistances to go along with it. Not to mention, it just looks really awesome, if not a little intimidating. This isn't something I would want to run into if I was alone.

7. Clefairy- Same reason as Chikorita, but to a lesser extent. Some may argue Jigglypuff is cuter, but I prefer Clefairy. It's also an alien from the moon! That also scores points.

8. Goodra- Honestly, I didn't notice this thing too much until Ash got one in the anime. Then I saw how awesome it could be when I was able to battle with one myself. I love it now.

9. Latios/Latias- The dragon twins have a great type combo and you can go soaring on them in ORAS. The movies they were featured in also made them more awesome.

10. Charizard- (Yeah. There it is...considering it's my avatar)

Honorable mentions: Tyranitar, Blaziken, Swampert, Sceptile, Totodile, Eevee, Jolteon, Espeon, Sylveon, Infernape, Arcanine, Scizor, Salamence, Terrakion, Keldeo, Staraptor, Oshawott, Aegislash, Gengar

Pokemon anime ships I don't like/support

Pokeshipping - I believe Ash would be miserable if he was in a relationship with Misty with how she treats him. He needs someone who isn't going to want to hit him and yell at him every five minutes.

Contestshipping - I used to hate this shipping with a passion, but now I don't think Drew is as big of a jerk as I first made him out to be. I don't despise it anymore, but this ship still isn't something I root for. I guess I could be okay with it as long as I know that Drew would take care of May properly.

Any Pokemon x People pairings -those are just gross and wrong on so many levels

Pokemon Manga pairings I support.

Luckyshipping

Mangaquestshipping

Franticshipping

Virdianshipping -it's kind of a crack pairing, but I think someone kind like Yellow would be good for someone like Silver

Commonershipping

Chessshipping

Pokemon Manga pairings I don't support:

Oldrivalshipping- this ship is crack whether fans want to admit it or not; I probably wouldn't dislike this ship so much if it wasn't so over-hyped despite there are virtually NO HINTS about it in the manga.

Upcoming Stories (won't be started until I finish the Road to be a Pokemon Master series)

A short story based on Pokemon Special, probably 5-6 chapters at the most. This is mainly just an experiment to make sure I can write the personalities of the dex holders well. The idea has been floating in my head for a while and will be listed as a "Humor/Family" story. I've been itching to get it on a word document. It won't be my main focus, however, and updates will take longer than my main series. If it's well-received, I'll probably do Pokemon Special one-shots on the side.

An anime-based mystery/adventure/horror fic. It's set fifteen years into the future of the anime. It's a fic where people are by themselves. Team Rocket controls the Kanto region, and everyone is now living life with no memories of their past with strange and wonderful creatures. If anything, they believed these creatures to just be a myth. However, Ash Ketchum has been having strange instances of weird creatures and a certain yellow rodent in his dreams lately. Determined, he sets out to find the truth with two questions in mind? What were these creatures that he's had dreams of, and what happened to them?

Please don't ask me to beta read a story. I am not signed up to be one. There are a lot better people out there than me who can do it.
