I got TAGGED!

Small Update and a Bit of Surprise Bonus

Hello everyone, It's me Bravekabuto58... Heh heh, surprise I'm not dead and I think some of you were thinking I "was." To put some readers doubts to rest, I'm alive and well but I do believe I owe a bit of explanation as to why I haven't been doing any work on my stories as of late.

First off, I am still working on Date Rise! (My Zero-One X Date-A-Live crossover) and I will do my best to get it out as best I can.

Second, the reason I haven't been publishing anything as of recent is that I have been coming down with a bit of case of "procrastination" as a well as a little bit of life in a matter of speaking. For one, I've been busy helping my folks around the house with dishes and laundry. I really like helping them out as well as hanging out with my family. Fortunately there was time for me to see the final episode of Zero-One (Totally worth it, a perfect end to the start of a Era! Take off toward a Dream!).

As for the procrastinating on my part, I'll try to get that out of my system and get back on track as soon as I can, even if it mean I have to pull some all-nighter just to get my stories done right!

Now I know this was short in terms of an update, but I needed to get this off my chest and let you know what's been going on here with me the last couple of months! With that said, I feel like I want to discuss something that's been on my mind as of late after watching a certain set of videos on YouTube. Something that re-sparked something inside of me from my childhood of something that I liked growing-up.

One word, Pokémon!

I actually grew up with the series, both video games and the Anime series (Minus Black and White, X and Y and Sun and Moon animes, the game I did grow up with.) Most of them, I've played to my heart's delight and some that still give me some fun after completing them. Especially the Mystery Dungeons series of Pokémon games. It's kind of my second favorite thing in my life, first being obviously Kamen Rider. (I might be even interested in making a crossover of those two series in time.)

After exploring YouTube during my procrastinating, I came across a certain type of video from various Poké-Tubers with a single question that sparked an interest that I wanted to due for a while. That idea being "If they were a Pokémon Gym Leader." Now this idea is kind of a cool one that really caught my attention since as I already said, I grew up with the series when I was a kid and the idea of becoming a gym leader never truly stuck with me but after being introduced to Gym Challenges in Pokémon Sword and Shield and seeing a couple videos on what other people's "What if" gyms were like I kind of wanted to see what kind of gym I would come up with and how I would tie into the story.

So right now at this moment, I feel like talking about "What if I was a Pokemon Gym Leader" to you guys.

Now to start of the bat, I'd be a part of the Galar region in Pokémon Sword as it's ninth Gym Leader. Yes I know that there are only eight Gym Leaders in both Sword and Shield and across Pokémon games in general, but in all honest I feel like having a surprise Gym Leader to fight before a tough group like the Elite Four would actually test you to see how well you trained your team.

Now the type of Pokémon I'd use and given all the other types that have been taken by the Gym Leaders of the Galar region, I'd choose Ground. As most of the types of Pokémon I like are Water or Ground. Now on to the events leading up to my gym.
