Dear Diary, Sometimes, chasing dreams causes people to do some crazy things. The chase for knowledge can lead to another chase, then another, then another. Sometimes, you just have to know when to give up, or risk losing it all. The end result is sometimes worth it, that is, until you realize you're still missing puzzle pieces. No matter how fast you run, how clever you are, or how hard you believe in yourself, the finish line will always slip away. It leaves you crushed and beaten; forcing you to go home with your tail between your legs. At least, that's how most people feel. But, I am not most people. Note: Thanks to the lovely @ansekii__ for the amazing cover!

{Formerly "Heart of Steel, Spirit of Fire"} Tucked away behind the blooming flowers of Floaroma Town is Fuego Ironworks. Celosia Fuego has worked in the shop for almost as long as she could walk and talk. She had two close friends that she would do anything for, not to mention her team of loyal Pokémon. Due to her hardened exterior, she has a difficult time making new friends and isn't entirely adaptable to new situations. When a change occurs, turning her world upside down, Celosia sets out on a journey of self realization and growth. ~~~ Thank you for giving my story a look! Writing summaries is not my strongest skill, but hopefully the actual story will pique and keep your interest. It will probably be a little slow in the beginning, but hopefully it will become more exciting. This story will predominately be based in the game-verse, but may have some other elements in it as well. There will likely be creative liberties present. Although it takes place in Sinnoh, gen seven Pokémon will be present. Currently on hiatus. ~ Amazing cover by @Cora-chan ~

"'Once Upon a Time' was how my story was supposed to start. It was supposed to be full of magic and ballroom dances and enchantment and. . . I guess it did deliver on those aspects but not in the way it was meant to. I am without a doubt, absolutely positive I was not destined to be a rodent." All Adaline wanted was to marry Prince Silas of Tressem. However, when she allows her handmaiden Emily to accompany her to the Tressem Royal Ball, she is transformed into a Rattata. The only way to return to her human state is to find someone willing to evolve the most unlikable Pokémon on the planet. <Juglust Short Story Entry>
