Hey fellow coffee drinkers, sorry this is a little late. I had meant to release this on Singles Awareness Day, but got waylaid by all sorts of personal issues.
Anyways, this was originally part of Chapter 117 but it wasn't fitting with the flow of overall pacing, so I removed it.
I went in, fleshed out the deleted portion and gave it an overall polish to come up with this month's bonus release.

This is a brand new, never before seen chapter, not a rewrite.
Also, there'll be a new chapter tomorrow, Wednesday.
I was hoping to delay a bit more since Chapter 113 needs a rewrite as well. But I'm really struggling with it and I decided to just released it as is and gather some feedback, since I'm not sure if it's me being pedantic and if a rewrite truly is justified.

The next 2 week's release schedule is going to be very irregular. The reason being I need to do some rewrites.
I know that my last rewrites were quite minor but this one will be very extensive. So to give you guys some idea, below is a list of released chapters that need to be rewritten.

Last we left off, Charlie had just earned his Boulder Badge at the Pewter Gym. Even managing to evolve his Poliwhirl into a Poliwrath.
When questioned by Brock afterwards, Charlie expressed an interest in visiting Fuchsia City and the Safari Zone. He was then recommended to hitch a ride on one of the fishing boats in Pallet Town, since the boy was reluctant to go through Diglett's Cave and by extension, Vermilion C...

“Can anyone tell me, if two Pokemon from different species were to interbreed, which species would the resulting offspring be?”
“The female one!” said an eager student who raised her hands to answer. Nina recognized the girl as being from a family of breeders, so naturally, she was quite an expert on the subject.
“Indeed,” their Pokemon Biology teacher respond...

Purple Shadow looked more put together. He took a shower, put on some clean clothes, and even shaved his face. Though Nina could tell he didn’t do a very good job of it, since there were visible knicks here and there. One would think that a ninja would be more proficient with blades.
The man still had that weary energy to him though. Like a man who would happily welcome the end of the w...

Same as Ch 103-104, there will be some depiction of violence. But if you're fine with both those chapters then 105.5 should be fine with you. And this should be the last of them as well.

Nina was currently in that same hidden TM shop she found in Vermilion City last time. She had a few items in her to-do list. The first of which was procuring an Uproar TM for Brucey, who was currently perched atop her backpack.

Nina noticed that under the blue fuzz coating a Golbat’s body was a layer of relatively tough and leathery skin. She scratched at Brucey who was cooing in her arms while Nairy just looked on with a jealous gaze on the side.
Her new Golbat demanded a lot of physical affection, much more so than even Nairy. Which often led to a situation like this where the two competed with one another f...

Parts 3 and 4 were originally just meant to be one part but I got ahead of myself and ended up writing way too much. Hence I had to split them.
I will also post them separately in two different posts since the two parts combined together took up over 20 pages. In context, that's about 4-5 chapters of your typical main story chapter.

One hundred chapters!!! In celebration of this milestone, we have an extra bonus release today!
Announcement:
I just reuploaded this story on Scribble Hub. So for those of you who have an account there, feel free to stop by and say hi. Because everything is looking quite barren at the moment. Link down below.
Look at how good it looks! I've been looking at it at least once a day.
The artist's name is winterseeli on Tumblr and Winter_Sage on RR. Go check out their Tumblr page if you're so inclined. Tumblr might seem like a weird platform to be on in 2025, but it makes sense if you consider the fact that Mark and Elon have been scrapping their platforms for AI training material.
Chapter 99
“I wonder what a Diglett’s full body looks like…”
“Dra.” Nairy nodded in agreement.
Nina had once asked Kerry about it, thinking that the apprentice Nurse Joy would have some knowledge about Diglett physiology. But the cheeky girl just winked at her and gave her an enigmatic smile. “Wouldn’t you like to know?” She said.

Then there were the Pokemon’s scythe blades which were actually composed of a sharp chitinous material, not metal. So contrary to Nina’s expectations, they did not have a shine to them, but ...
