Chapter 30: City Lights February 24th 1994, 7:00pm. Music blared out of the speakers here in the lobby of Goldenrod’s Pokemon Center. Some sort of highly synthesised pop of the 80s, easy and catching. I found myself tapping my toes to the rhythm of the tune, even though I didn’t focus on it...

Chapter 29: Ghosts of a time gone by February 21st 1994, 1:00pm. The ceiling above my bed was a dull white, overshadowed by hues of grey and only intersected by the dark gaps running between the panelling. I followed their path with my eyes, like I had done many times today. And like so many...

Chapter 28: Ocean Winds February 16th 1994, 4:00pm. The single bench on the bus stop right on the border of Ilex National Park was a lonely place. It overlooked the ocean, sitting on a small cliffside just a few yards over a sandy strip of beach. But in the cold weather of this...

Chapter 27: The Long Month to Spring January 6th 1994, 4pm. The afternoon sun outside the window warmed my back, while the tea in my cup slowly cooled. I put my hands around the clay mug, but it was useless. Soon, the cold water would bring out the bitterness in the tea-leaves, making it almost...

Chapter 26: At The End Of The World January 5th 1994, 7pm. My lungs burned. My breath again made that gurgling noise and if I didn’t have a glass of water nearby, I’d surely have broken into another coughing fit. What was up with me lately? This was merely the warm-up. My endurance had got...

Aaaaa thank you so much for your lovely review ❤️ And thank you so much for your kind words. I'm honestly surprised that so many people do enjoy 26y. This review as well as many of the other reviews gave me a lot of new motivation to continue working on part 2. Hehe. Well, that's where my...

Hello @Shiny Phantump Thank you for your lovely review 🥲 I didn't know you're caught up so far already. You can't imagine how happy that makes me!!! And then to get such lovely feedback on the last chapters!!! Thank you so so much ❤️ Interesting thoughts on Morty. I hadn't taken that into...

Hello! Welcome back ❤️ Heh. I admit fully to all points you criticised. It *does* go super quickly. I conveniently use and abuse him to get under people's skin frighteningly fast. And I love him for it :D Morty has tinkered long enough with his spelllist to have Fast Friends on it at all times...

Aaaaa thank you so much for your in-depth review and your time and effort again ❤️ I'm so relieved to hear that you think the chapters so far have been necessary. Yeah, I think I'll just have to make peace with the fact that this thing is waaaaaaaaay more complex than I've given it credit for...

Me: "Man, I wish I had reviews" Also me: never reacts to reviews Hello folks and thank you guys so much for swinging by :veelove: Time to respond to you! But in case I don't say it loudly enough in the individual parts: THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ You guys are the absolute bestest!

Chapter 25: A Letter To Mum December 22nd 1993, 3pm. Dear Mum, Merry Christmas! I hope you and Poliwhirl are doing great at home. and the Darkest Day hasn’t consumed you both yet. I’m sorry I can’t be with you two this year. Right now as I’m writing this, it’s the year 1993, and I hope this...

Chapter 24: Whiteout December 2nd 1993, 11am. Going into 1973, I knew we were making good progress. Both Leon and I were focused today, and it showed. Of all his bad days so far, this was the best one. If things went on like this, maybe we could even get one of his stupid games in after lunch...

Hey Pen! Thanks for the thorough review! Your takes are very interesting. I'll take them to heart, though I don't know if I find the energy to implement them soon. Still, you tackle some points here that have been sitting in the back of my mind for quite some time now. I've heard that before...

Chapter 23: The First Weeks Of Winter October 20th 1993, 8:48am. 8:48am marked the moment the floor underneath Leon vanished. The grandfather clock had just announced the start of the new minute with its mechanical “clank”. In the homey kitchen right across the room, the tea-water was boiling...

Chapter 22: The Last Seconds of Summer October 19th 1993, 11am. “In fact! It’s snowing. We had a perfectly fine autumn day on the other side, right? Or was I hallucinating?” Leon stood next to me, about as confused as I. “No, you weren’t.” I looked at the faint layer of snow that had formed...

Chapter 21: Projections CW: Contains discussions of eating disorders October 19th 1993, 10am. The Union Mountains towered to our left and right, and although we followed a stream, we still had some elevation to gain. The pungent scent of pinewoods and resin lingered in the air, but the cooling...

Chapter 20: Working Out October 18th 1993, 8am. «There is still room in the backpack,» I assured myself as I folded the last shirts. Overjoyed to leave this place behind soon, I carried the clean laundry over to the shed. And almost tripped over Leon. “What are you doing down there?” I asked...

Hey @Homestar! Thanks for the review! It's interesting how you think this is too fast paced! I always figured my writing to be too slow. Occasionally, I have some lines where I'm thinking "I should insert some inner monologue here" but then again, my and my MC's head are empty. I have yet to...

@HelloYellow17 Thank you so much for the review <3 Of course I want to hear some criticism. I'll bottle it up for another half year and then maybe incorporate it when I polish things a bit more, but in the meantime they help me quite a lot with what I'm currently at. Especially that emotion...
