She tried to look up the reason for it, studied the history of Cherrygrove City to find out why. But in the end, came up empty. As far as she could tell, the place had just always been like this. Or more than likely, the Great Clan that...

Since I've been enabling regular tier chapters to be viewed via email recently. I decided that maybe a single space formatting might be easier to read?
I don't know. What do you guys think?
Please let me know if you feel strongly against this. If there's no response then I'll just assume everyone is ok and continue with this format from now on.

The seasons now lay between the transitional months of January and February — a time where the weather warmed, calling forth spring showers to wash away ice and snow, thawing ...

Professor Elm replied with a wry smile and a deep sigh. “Yes, Totodile has developed a close bond with Toki over the past few days. So it would be quite cruel to separate them at this point.”
Nina nodded, fully in agreement with the Professor. “What about the new trainers then? Are you going to call for a replacement?...

Nina laughed — the boy’s enthusiasm was infectious. They were currently on their way to the base of Mount Silver, to a spot that Nitey scouted out previously that would be perfect to use for training.
