Hello all! I have a confession to make.

I am a procrastinator. Seriously, I am a procrastinator.

New Updates:

A newly cleaned/edited and hopefully better written of my first story is now complete. The full story is also up on Wattpad, Lake Valor, and Archive of our own. I'm sure there is more that I can improve on it but for now, I think its best I work on posting new chapters on a timely schedule...Ha! Timely schedule...my procrastination knows no bounds!

Also, I want to mention, I do try to respond to questions via the review section...but don't go there if you don't want spoilers. Nothing is safe in the review section.

My Tumblr page is called Balancing the Flame. Under the name of Azoths-den.

As of right now I mostly repost artwork, cats, and pretty landscapes...however, I do try to post stuff that is related to my story...as in hints of what's coming in new chapters or landscapes that were in a way inspirations for settings. Some time down the road I will go into more details about holistic healing, alchemy, mythologies, etc.

My Wattpad account name is Violetflame90. An account that has been neglected for a very long time.

As I mentioned above I started posting the first story on Archive of our own and on Lake Valor. A forum for Pokemon lovers, that was suggested to me via private messaging.

My account name is the same. Yingyang90

Keep in mind that this account on Fanfiction will always get the first updates

I'm currently working on a Pokemon fanfiction series called:

Our Reach to the Stars

1.) Pokemon: The Lost Quest (Part I) Completed

2.) Pokemon: Masters of Retribution (Part II) In Progress

Overall this series is about Team Rocket and the inner works of the organization with Meowth serving as a guide on how the world works through a Pokémon's perspective. Meowth has always been my favorite character and always wanted to see him grow.

So this series that's saturated in fanfic headcanon juices, contains evil teams in a G/PG-rated story as much as possible. While I like dark/edgy things, to hear a character say "ass/shit" takes me out of the story because I know he/she would never say that in the real show. It dives into the wonderful world of why Team Rocket is awesome and fun. That losing to ten-year-olds is totally worth it because Team Rocket's goals are your goals, in fact, Team Rocket's goals are better for the Pokémon planet. Okay so maybe there is some stealing but why? To be bad or is it something else? If Pokémon are meant to obey humans then why is one treated like a human?

So if an in-depth look at the original evil organization through the eyes of a talking feline and a 10-year-old boy that will never turn 11...a story that's lanced with fanfic tendencies...if that tickles your fancy then please give it try ;)

Extra headcanon:

My ideas/headcanon started when Ruby and Sapphire introduced us, two new evil teams. So my excitement levels to see how evil organizations deal with each other were off the charts and I wanted to see their interactions with each other. Like do they make alliances or do they start turf wars...I know it was a kid's show but at the time it felt like the advanced generation was growing up with me. That Ash was becoming a mentor for the new trainer May and her brother Max. Also, the transition from Johto to Hoenn made sense and didn't feel like selling merchandise unlike how it is now...but I digress.

What I was hoping to see was less Team Rocket vs. Ash and more Team Rocket vs. other teams or Ash vs. other teams or a split between twerp life and Team Rocket thug life...I know kid's show but I was so hoping for something like that...and I was a kid at the time too...so..I don't know...headcannon for life?

Meowth seemed like he was a former badass in the original series, a character with a very cool, dark backstory regarding Team Rocket. Not the table scraps that they force-fed us later but something more sinister or at least more interesting. I know about the original plans for the series (or rumors) and how all of that was scrapped because they discovered they had a cash cow on their hands but it was at the expense of Team Rocket as a whole in my opinion.

Meowth was always my favorite character and I always felt like they could have used him more than just as an interpreter. Like, use him to expand the Pokemon world through a Pokemon's eyes. What's it like in a pokeball? What's it like to evolve? Why are Pokemon willing to do bad things? Or why are they willing to battle for us? You know the typical questions that all Pokemon lovers have.

So if Team Rocket is so bad why would a Pokémon want to work for them? Why does a Pokémon want to sell its "brethren" so to speak? I get it that Meowth wanted power and money but why through Team Rocket and not find some strong trainer or another way? As a fan, I never understood why a villainous team that considers Pokemon as nothing more than profit or whatever other "evil" thing would allow a Pokemon to be treated like a human or given the same rights as other human agents. So I always wondered what Meowth's role in Team Rocket was about. It can't just be because it can talk...I guess it can but it makes no sense when you know that they don't care about weak Pokemon. Mewtwo was able to talk and that didn't phase Giovanni either. To treat a Pokémon like a human just seems out of place for someone like Giovanni.

Also, what is the overall appeal to join these so-called evil teams? I mean gang members don't join gangs just to be cool or tough...the motive is not as clear until you take the time to look at the big picture. They lose all the time due to game mechanics and the way the anime is written for the hero, but what gets these people to join? Why is having a level 10 "whatever" so worth it? Why don't they leave? Is it hard to leave?

Well my elaborate headcanon has the most fanficy answers...mostly

Translations:

There is currently a Spanish version of The Lost Quest being uploaded by la23trenzas. This writer asked me to grant them the permission to practice translating and I thought that translating something you like is an awesome way to do it. I hope that other authors on this site give people that chance when the offer arrises.

/u/7543094/la23trenzas

If anyone else would like to flex their translating muscles in any other language please PM me and we can discuss it further. That is if you think my story is worth your time. Again I know I'm an amateur writer, but writing has opened doors for me that I didn't know were there. So to me if I can help someone that's trying to discover the hidden doors on their path I'm more than willing to lend them a flashlight to help with the search.

Here is the link to the Spanish version.

About Me:

Fair warning my stories are not going to be well written. There's a reason why I am not an English major...LOL!! I figured with all the daydreaming I do, I could write it down and maybe put some moral/story into it to give it some form. Thomas Jefferson said that the best way to teach people is through the art of fiction and that is what I would like to do here. When I decide to post a story updates will span from months to short periods of time. Sometimes the waiting may seem like I'm on hiatus but that will never be the case because when I do post a story I intend to finish it. I am very dedicated to my writing and after completing the first part of my first real story I realized I really enjoy doing it. Unfortunately, reality, laziness and in most cases extreme writers block can get in the way. Some times the chapters in the story are not working for me and I need to rewrite them. What I mean by this is before I even decide to post a story its pretty much written as in everything is mostly in place. I'm not going to write one chapter at a time then post it without an end goal in mind otherwise I will just be writing myself into a hole. Also if I were to just write one chapter at a time the story itself wouldn't flow properly...at least I hope it's flowing properly;)

So basically when it comes to the current story I am writing it is all pretty much written out. The backstories, character goals, the overall end goal, character motivations, point A to point B to point C etc., the answers to the mysteries and so on. All of this has been written but it has to make sense to the readers. So there is a lot of editing being done. And editing SUCKS!!!! It's so boring it feels like homework so hence I get sidetracked a lot by goofing off and creating Tumblr pages...also real life is to blame too. There's a lot that goes into editing, some times speeches are cut out other times there are scenes that I love but I am having a really hard time letting go because sometimes the scenes that I like don't make sense or doesn't really fit the characters and might upset the overall end goal for that character. Other times I might rearrange the events, usually minor events that don't upset the big plot. Or I add a scene because the chapter or characters were missing something. Obviously a lot of time goes in to make a good story.

Please feel free to leave helpful advice in the reviews or private message me but keep in mind I might not fix an error on here but rather on for it is a lot easier to do. But in all honesty I haven't been keeping up with. I finally figured out how to fix errors on this site but again I am pretty lazy. I think once I am fully done or if I happen to be in a really bad writer's block I will one day...maybe...I don't know. I proof read for like 5 days straight before I post anything but granted there will probably always be something that I miss. Believe me I know I have missed a few errors due to rereading my own story a few times due to writers block or a rewriting phase. I appreciate every review that comes through whether its criticisms, helpful advice or kind words of praise. Its good to hear that my story is in fact reaching people, hopefully in more ways than one. I like reading your questions/theories and hearing your thoughts. I've felt bad for not responding to reviews all the time and for a time I did try to make it a habit but it just doesn't work for me. If anything I'm going to start responding by posting a review myself once in a while. So if you asked a question and are dying for an answer check the reviews once in while...that is if the answer to your question won't spoil anything;) In all honesty you might be asking questions that I want you to ask...which would mean I'm probably doing something right with my writing ;)

My first introduction to the world of fanfics was when I was in high school...in fact I had an account before this one but its been so long the email that was used for that one I don't have anymore. My old account name was inuyashafan12 if you are interested. I actually reread my old fanfic and my god is it bad...I mean really bad. I think you could even view it as a time capsule on how bad fanfics really were back in the day because honestly I've seen a lot of good ones recently and hardly any bad ones...granted I haven't really done any hardcore searching/reading but during that time when I wrote it that was how most people wrote their stories.

Meowth, That's Right

This is a community that I created for Meowth centered fics as well as Team Rocket fics. I'm running this with the help of chipotlepeppers who has way more stories than me and are really good so check it out! If you have a story or a story in mind please pm either of us and we will look it over.

Meowth centered stories are highly preferred since its the only Meowth community right now but Team Rocket based are also welcomed.

Thank you for taking your time to read all of this and I hope you enjoy the stories I bring forth...PEACE!!
