I know you guys were expecting a new chapter sooner or later but I've been busy and I really don't have much motivation right now but I will update soon. I promise but for right now I've decided to take the time to tell you guys a little bit about this story and what you could expect with little to no spoilers. If I do put something that could be a spoiler I put it in here on purpose because its something that I want you guys to know about. Also, before I begin, if you want to know my opinions about ORAS I'll tell you right now. They're awesome games! I love them a lot better than RSE by a lot and I'm so glad that Game Freak did it because I love them to pieces. They're the best Pokemon games ever and I hope Game Freak will try to top them but I don't think that could happen anytime soon though from how I see it. Okay, now that I've got that out of the way, I think its time I begin.
First of all I originally intended to keep the story the same since I wrote this all up before ORAS were even heard of. But as time went on I changed a few things here and there to include things from ORAS, mainly just Mega evolutions, but I also decided to add in Pokemon that weren't just the 386 Pokemon that existed in RSE. I did add the more newer Pokemon in around the end of the original story but that changed. Also, Mega Evolutions never existed in the story in the first place along with the physical/special split in 4th gen. I kept the 3rd gen mechanics in the story but I decided to change that as well so I put the 4th gen mechanics in around the 22nd chapter or so. That's also when I put in a newer Pokemon, Volcorona to be exact, and that's where I started adding in Pokemon from newer generations in I believe. Also, I did hint at Mega evolutions twice, once was when Wattson mentioned a strange new appearance of a Manectric and the other time was when Courtney mentioned a strong new power that Maxie was looking for.
Eventually Mega Evolutions were revealed since Maxie is a Mega Evolution user with his Houndoom. Now he did overpower Sapphire in the original but that was just with a normal Houndoom. Oh, and Mega Camerupt did not exist yet even when I put up the part with Mega Evolutions being revealed but I still like Mega Houndoom better anyways. Okay, now I'm done with that I think I'll talk about the characters.
Sapphire pretty much is the same along with Ruby and Wally but Wally is going to become a bit more involved, probably, and they will all become Mega Evolution users as well eventually. Steven is the same too but will also use a Mega Evolution, Maxie does have a Mega Evolution as you already know, and Archie wasn't going to but I just changed my mind about it so he will as well.
Now this story was originally going to be an Emerald fan-fic with maybe a few Ruby and Sapphire things in it but ORAS kinda sorta changed it but not really all that much. I still think in this story that all of the characters should be kept to how they originally looked in RSE. Also, it is very noticeable that Team Magma has a more prominent role in this story than Team Aqua. Part of the reason is because I like Team Magma more but I like both teams though. Part of that is also influenced because of Emerald because I felt like Team Magma had a more prominent role in that game more than Team Aqua. This story is more of meant to be an Emerald fan-fic so that's why.
Now to the characters themselves of Team Aqua and Team Magma. Courtney has a pretty sad back story, which I'll explain in a future fan-fic, and she has a rivalry with Shelly from Team Aqua. They knew each other as kids so their rivalry is pretty fierce, but its not as bad as Maxie and Archie's. Although you'll never see those two interact with each other in this story I can say this. Its pretty bad but you might see it in another fan-fic though.
Alright, so I made Courtney be more calm but she can get to be riled up if something gets on her nerves or she's on her breaking point. She can also be pretty intimidating too sometimes. Shelly is more cocky and maybe a bit too over confident, especially since her Umbreon technically lost to Courtney's Espeon. Also, Courtney does have feelings for Blaise, which wasn't in the original, but she hides them for reasons unknown. The two of them were pretty close once but now Courtney pushes him away. Why does she do that and does Blaise have feelings for her though? Hee hee! What do you think? I've got to finish writing that future fan-fic first so you're just going to have to wait. ^.^
Now to Blaise. I made him be more of the odd man out of the Three Fires, Pokemon wise. He was originally a creeper and he always called Sapphire a pest. He was really creepy but then he eventually had a change of heart in the end anyways. Now he's just someone who is trying to do the right thing but it never seems to work. He never meant to almost kill Sapphire but he was the enemy to her so he did what any other Team Magma member would've done. Also, his powers of reading minds and being able to see Sapphire when she's using her powers to blend in with nature, those were never in the original. Although his main Pokemon being a dragon type instead of a fire type, that was in the original. Oh, and the possible feelings he has for Courtney weren't in the original as well.
Now Tabitha, not really much has changed about him. He's the highest ranked of the Three Fires but he tends to start most of the arguments if its with Courtney or Blaise or even both. Courtney is the one who is usually provoked, when she has no reason to, when she argues with Blaise, Blaise tries to stay out of the arguments, and so pretty much Tabitha is usually the one to start an argument or at least provoke Courtney or Blaise into arguing. I won't say why because I really don't know why myself. lol XD Oh, and all the arguing gets on Maxie's nerves which doesn't make him happy.
Amber and Matt aren't really more prominent than Shelly but I'll try my best with them in the future since they still have a chance to get better. Oh, and when it comes to the evil teams, Team Aqua is the one who wants to kill Sapphire while Team Magma doesn't really want to. They more of just want to stop her enough to where she won't be a threat or she'll just join them which is something she never wants to do.
Well I think that's pretty much it of what I wanted to talk to you guys about. Yes, there is a new fan-fic that I'm writing right now but I don't think I'm even half way done with it yet. It will be about Courtney and it will go more into detail about why she's afraid of the Pokemon Lapras and much more like her rivalry with Shelly, her feelings for Blaise, and why she's a member of Team Magma. Yeah, its going to be great. I started it back in October and I'm writing Chapter 20 right now. Well that's all I've got to say. Thank you all for those of you who read this because I greatly appreciate it. Until next time guys, enjoy reading and the next chapter should be up, hopefully, within the next 2 weeks or so. Bye guys and I love you all! ^.^
