I've poured so much effort into My Little Pokemon, more than any story I've written throughout my years. I love this story so much just as much as I love both franchises.

Which is why it has SO many chapters and will keep having more and more until I reach Season 9 comes around or Journeys ends in the future. Which is a long time away.
Due to my personal real life reasons, I’m now able to work more on “Chapter 2: The Dark Knight” and I’m aiming to release it in either late May or early June (although it’s most likely gonna be the latter). I’ll keep ya posted about it (as always) and I’ll see ya there 👋
