Hey all! 
          	
          	Just wanted to update you all, as I know I’ve been pretty good about the 1 chapter a week upload schedule (for the most part) since coming back.
          	
          	I have NOT abandoned my fanfiction. The last few weeks have been a combination of a busy personal life, writing deadlines for my non-fanfiction published works, and this week being the 2025 Japan Series (requiring me to be up stupid early and in bed just as early).
          	
          	Fun fact: I’m a huge Hanshin Tigers fan. And they’re in the Japan Cup, so I’m up at 4:30 for the next week to watch the games. Also means I’m in bed by 8pm. Which doesn’t leave me a lot of time to write in the evenings.
          	
          	Once the series is over I’ll be back to my regular schedule next week :)
          	
          	So don’t fear! Just a little more patience. I’ve still been working at this fic, just in smaller chunks the last few weeks.

Apologies for taking so long to get back to you. Been a busy week for me dealing with some personal stuff. I’ve also been mulling over your offer.
            
            I’m okay with it, as long as you don’t mind properly crediting me and my work in the actual video itself? I just want to make sure people know where to find the original work, and author. Not everyone reads the description for that. Links to my Wattpad, Fanfiction, and AO3 would be appreciated as well in the description.
            
            If you’re okay with that, I’m okay with you using my work and I’m happy to collab with you on this :)

Update on Pokemon Heroes:
          
          I think what I'm going to do is at least get this chapter finished. And do one chapter a week until Sinnoh Saga is done, as best I can. Once Sinnoh Saga is finished, I think I'm going to spend some time away from posting so I can simply write the series and get ahead in chapters so that even on weeks I can't write, I can at least have something to post. I always want to be a little ahead now.
          
          I have become a much better writer since starting writing this series in 2012, and again even since I stopped in 2022, but I don't know if I'll go back and rewrite the series again. It's just so far gone at this point, I'd rather this series be a time capsule of me improving overtime.

Awesome can't wait for the next chapter

I think it’s time guys… I’ve stepped away for a few years so I could focus on real life and publishing my indie books, but I think it’s time to pick this up again, and finish this fanfiction. Little by little! Who’s still here with me?

Corporal_Spicy

I have been DYING to know how Sam’s Sinnoh arc ends, as soon as I see any kind of update I’ll be there to read it!

It looks like I’m a few years late to give my thanks for such an awesome read, here’s to hoping you’re able to get it! I’ve loved Pokemon since I was a kid, and I’d be lying if I said it hasn’t been a slight obsession for the past twenty plus years. I fell into the world of OC stories and fanfics a few years ago, although yours is by far the best I’ve come across! Your writing style, sense of adventure and character development in my opinion is damn near impeccable, had me hook, line AND sinker. I would have liked every single chapter if I wasn’t concerned with possibly spamming notifications lmao. You have some real talent, and if I come across any more of your work I will have to make sure to check it out. Thank you for taking so much time to create a world and story for yourself and others, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for and I genuinely hope that you are proud of the work you do moving forward as you continue doing what you are passionate about!!

@Corporal_Spicy I appreciate your support, and your willingness to go out and grab a copy of my book. I hope you enjoy it :)
            
            I'm glad I could inspire you to get back into writing. It's the greatest thing for a writer to know that the work they shared with others inspires them in turn.
            
            I promise new chapters are coming soon :) but this next chapter (as I'm sure you can guess) has to be done right lol. I want to make sure this climax is climactic. It's not the end of Sinnoh Saga, there will be a bit of a wind-down "post game" arc on the Battle Zone area that will wrap up the story in Sinnoh before they head off to Kanto and future regions.
            
            I've technically been writing this fanfiction in one form or another since the 2007 in the 7th grade. The characters have changed, the over all plot has changed, but the main story beats have always been somewhat the same, and I've always known how this story was going to end--I don't know if everyone's going to like it lol, but it's what I want to do with it.
            
            I hope you continue to enjoy the series, even if it takes me years to finish, one chapter at a time lol

Of course! I want to say thank you as well. A few years back I had an OC story myself, and I found that I loved writing. I made it about 20-30 chapters in before I unfortunately fell out of my rhythm, life getting in the way. Reading your story specifically reignited that passion for me, and I’ve begun writing another small OC story for my girlfriend and I, giving us a nice little sense of escapism with everything going on in the world. 
            
            Once I saw you had replied to my message, I made my way to Amazon to look at your other work. I found that a Barnes & Noble near me sells them, and I plan on grabbing a copy for myself! Based on your bio, you’ve got a few years on me. It makes sense why I fell so hard for your writing style, I grew up with a LOT of books growing up that you mentioned. I’m glad you were able to take the time you needed for yourself and those you care for, not many can say the same. I’ll be keeping an eye out for any possible updates and will make sure to let you know what I think of your other work!

Hey! I just want to say thank you for these very kind words. Hearing these things is always a great boost to morale. I’ve definitely taken time off this series the last few years—I work a day job and I actually publish as an indie author in my spare time. But I’ve always felt bad stopping just before the end of the first book…I’d at least like to finish the Sinnoh Saga, but I would be willing to keep going if the popularity is there. I think I needed to step away from the series for a bit, but again, I think enough time has passed I’d be willing to go back.
            
            If you’re interested in my other work in the meantime all my work is available on Amazon in print and digital under my real name, Sam Accardi. I’m currently publishing a series of young adult fantasy novels about a group of teens who become bonded to dragons and are thrown into a war to save the world. Perfect if you love Eragon, Tolkien, or Pern! Your support and kind words are appreciated! :)

Hey thank you for the amazing book that is pokemon heros. just curiosity but you do still update it right bc i just got caught up to flint and would really like it continued

JiraiyaGoketsu

Yes! I hit a bit of a creative wall where I had to put my attention towards punishing my fantasy novel and put Pokemon Heroes on hold for a bit. 
            
            With Dragonkin published, I am returning to Pokemon Heroes. I’m writing the next two chapters as we speak (I usually upload two at a time, especially for longer chapters) so expect two more chapters in the next few weeks! I’m also going back and editing/touching up a few older chapters at the same time.
            
            Thank you so much for your kind words and I’m really glad you enjoyed the book :)

Do I disappear often? Yeah. But do I come back just as often? Also yeah!
          
          I'm back, I'm writing, and I'm working on the Fanfiction again!
          
          I'm currently editing the series as I go, while also writing new chapters. We're almost to the end of the first book and yes I DO plan to continue after!
          
          Where have I been? Well I finally published my novel that I used to have on here. It was known as Dragon Warriors, or The Chronicles of Enayra. The first book in the series: Dragonkin, is now available in eBook, Paperback and Hardcover format through Amazon in several countries.
          
          This linktree will take you to whatever country's storefront you're from!

          My book is available through Kindle Unlimited in eBook format for anyone who has that!
          
          If you do choose to get my novel, I really appreciate it! The biggest compliment you can give is a review once you've read it!
          
          If not, and you're just here for the fanfiction, I completely understand! Worry not! More is coming!
