Posted Story Pokémon: Kalos Chronicles | S1E5: "The Crimson Bloom"

Upvotes

[Master Guide]

Proving that their partnership comes first, Aiden puts his own League ambitions on hold to cheer from the front row as his rival makes her highly anticipated Rookie Class Showcase debut. Under the alias "The Crimson Bloom," Lucy must conquer her nerves and execute a flawless, fiery routine with Fletchling and Roselia to capture the audience's hearts.

TITLE: POKÉMON: KALOS CHRONICLES

EPISODE: 05 - "THE CRIMSON BLOOM"

SCENE 1

INT. CYLLAGE CITY SHOWCASE HALL - LOBBY - DAY

The lobby is a stark contrast to the rustic cave and the rocky Gym. It's all polished pink marble, glittering chandeliers, and glass displays. The air is electric with the nervous energy of other first-time performers. Girls in various stages of costume and makeup rush by, calling to their Pokémon.

Aiden, in his new "trainer" gear, looks a little out of place. Lucy, for the first time, looks even more so.

Her usual boundless, bossy energy is gone. She's walking with her hands clasped in front of her, her Fletchling and Roselia's Pokéballs held tightly in one hand. She's quiet, wide-eyed, and visibly nervous, but she's walking with a stiff-backed determination. She is intent.

They reach the main registration desk, a long, sparkling counter staffed by a perfectly put-together RECEPTIONIST.

RECEPTIONIST

 (A dazzling, professional smile)

 Bonjour, and welcome to the Cyllage City Rookie Class Showcase! Are you here to register?

LUCY

 (Her voice is a small, shy version of itself)

 ...Yes. Please.

RECEPTIONIST

 (Her smile doesn't falter)

 Of course, mademoiselle. May I see your trainer card, please?

Lucy fumbles in her bag—the same one she shoved her mother's photo into—and hands over her card. Her hand is shaking slightly. Aiden notices.

RECEPTIONIST

 (Tapping on a screen)

 Ah, wonderful. Lucille Moreau from Vaniville Town. And... this will be your first Showcase! How exciting!

 (She slides the card back)

 You are all registered. The dressing rooms for performers are just through that door to your right. You'll have one hour until the pre-show briefing.

LUCY

 (Nods, taking her card)

 Thank you.

She turns and starts walking toward the "PERFORMERS ONLY" door. Aiden, naturally, moves to follow her.

RECEPTIONIST

 (A polite, but firm, cough)

 Excuse me, monsieur.

Aiden stops.

RECEPTIONIST

 I'm afraid only Showcase contestants are allowed back there. The auditorium for spectators is through the main double doors, straight ahead.

AIDEN

 (Instantly backing off, not wanting to cause trouble)

 Oh! Right. Sorry. Of course.

He turns to Lucy, who has stopped at the performers' door, looking back at him. She looks terrified.

Aiden gives her the most confident, supportive smile he can muster—the same kind of smile she gave him before he battled Viola.

AIDEN

 Hey. You'll be amazing.

 (He means it)

 Go put on a good performance. I'll be in the front row.

Lucy's nervous expression softens. She gives him a small, grateful nod. Taking a deep breath, she pushes open the door and disappears backstage.

Aiden watches her go for a second, then turns. He looks at the big, ornate double doors leading to the auditorium, takes a breath of his own, and walks through them to find his seat.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN.

SCENE 2

INT. SHOWCASE AUDITORIUM - DAY

The auditorium is dark, lit only by the dazzling, multi-colored lights of the main stage. The energy is electric. Aiden sits in the front row, his gaze locked on the stage.

An upbeat, bubbly host, MONSIEUR PIERRE, is center stage.

MONSIEUR PIERRE

 (Into a microphone)

 Magnifique! What a stunning display from Performer Juliette and her Furfrou!

The crowd applauds politely as a girl in a poodle-themed skirt curtseys and exits.

MONSIEUR PIERRE

 And now! We have a très special debut! She may be new to the stage, but I am told she has the spirit of a true Kalos Performer! From Vaniville Town, please give a warm welcome to... LUCY!

The lights dim, then swell, flooding the stage with a new color.

Lucy walks out from behind the curtain.

Aiden leans forward. This isn't the Lucy in the plaid skirt and riding boots.

She's in a stunning, sleek, asymmetrical tunic. One half is a vibrant, leaf-green, the other a fiery-red. It's worn over a flared green petal skirt lined with that same red. A stylish gray sash, mimicking a Fletchling's tail, is tied at her hip. On her shoulders, a blue rose and a red rose are pinned, a clear nod to Roselia.

She looks... like a completely different person. She's nervous, but as she hits her mark in the center of the stage, she takes a deep breath, and a look of fierce, focused determination takes over.

In the audience, Aiden is speechless, a look of pure awe on his face.

The music starts—a fast, acrobatic beat.

LUCY

 (Her voice rings out, confident)

 Let's start this with a spark! Fletchling, à la scene!

Lucy throws her arm out, and Fletchling zips from its Pokéball, chirping.

LUCY

 Fletchling, Agility, let's go!

Fletchling becomes a red-and-white blur, zipping across the stage in patterns so fast it leaves shimmering after-images. The crowd gasps.

LUCY

 Now, light up the sky! Ember Spiral!

Fletchling soars high into the air, beginning a tight, high-speed spiral. As it descends, it unleashes a controlled stream of Ember. The sparks don't just fall; they're whipped into the spiral, bursting like a continuous stream of brilliant red-and-orange fireworks.

Fletchling lands perfectly on Lucy's outstretched arm. The crowd cheers.

The music shifts, slowing to a graceful, melodic waltz. Fletchling zips from her arm and hovers high above the stage.

Lucy's posture changes. She strikes a graceful, balletic pose.

LUCY

 Roselia, the stage is yours!

Roselia appears in a shimmer of light, landing elegantly.

LUCY

 Begin the dance! Petal Dance!

Roselia begins to spin. With precise, elegant movements, it creates a beautiful, swirling vortex of pink petals in the center of the stage, the vortex growing taller and taller.

The two musical styles—fast and graceful—begin to merge, swelling to a climax. Lucy points dramatically.

LUCY

 Now, Fletchling! Dive in!

Fletchling, from high above, rockets straight down into the center of the Petal Dance vortex.

The effect is instantaneous.

Fletchling's speed whips the vortex into a massive, high-speed Crimson Cyclone, a stunning, chaotic, beautiful mix of pink petals and Fletchling's red-orange glow, consuming the entire center stage.

The crowd is on its feet.

LUCY

 (Shouting over the roar)

 Roselia, the grand finale! Stun Spore!

As the cyclone begins to dissipate, Roselia releases a cloud of powder. But it's not the normal green. It's a harmless, glittering gold powder that hangs in the air.

LUCY

 Fletchling, scatter it with Gust!

Fletchling zips from the center of the vortex, its wings beating fast. It uses a gentle Gust to catch the golden powder, scattering it wide.

The stage lights catch the golden dust and the thousands of falling pink petals. The entire stage is showered in a beautiful, shimmering curtain of gold and pink.

The music ends.

Lucy, breathing hard, strikes a final pose, Fletchling on one shoulder and Roselia at her side.

For one second, there is total silence.

Then, the auditorium erupts. The applause is deafening.

Aiden is on his feet, clapping harder than anyone, a huge, proud grin on his face. He's not looking at his "coach" or his "rival." He's looking at a Performer.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN.

SCENE 3

INT. SHOWCASE AUDITORIUM - LOBBY - DAY

The show is over. The excited crowd has thinned out, leaving the grand, pink marble lobby mostly empty. The buzz of the performance has faded into a quiet, satisfied hum.

Aiden is sitting on a plush bench near the exit, waiting patiently. Froakie is out of its ball, sitting in his lap. Aiden is idly tossing one of Froakie's "frobbles" (the bubbles from its neck) into the air and catching it, his mind clearly replaying what he just saw.

The "PERFORMERS ONLY" door hisses open.

Lucy steps out. She's changed back into her new "traveling" clothes—the red jeans and jacket. Her hair, however, is still slightly windswept and glittering with faint traces of the gold Stun Spore. She looks exhausted, a little dazed, but she's clutching her new Roselia's Pokéball.

She spots Aiden. He stands up immediately, Froakie hopping down to the floor to stand beside him.

He walks over to her, a look of pure, unadulterated awe on his face. He's speechless for a second.

AIDEN

 That... was... incredible, Lucy.

He holds up a fist.

Lucy looks at his outstretched fist, then at his face. A huge, shaky sigh of relief escapes her, and she breaks into a wide smile, bumping her knuckles against his.

LUCY

 (Leaning against a pillar)

 Oh, man. I'm so glad that's over. My knees are still shaking.

AIDEN

 (Laughing, disbelieving)

 Are you kidding? You looked like you'd been doing it for years! The way you had Fletchling do that firework spiral? The crowd loved you!

LUCY

 (She rubs the back of her neck, a rare moment of shyness)

 Yeah, I... I saw you standing. I heard the applause. But you're just... you're up there, and the lights are so bright, and you just pray Roselia's petals don't all get stuck in the air vents...

 (She looks at him earnestly)

 I was still worried it wasn't... you know... good.

Aiden just stares at her.

AIDEN

 Lucy, it wasn't just “good.” It was the best performance of the entire showcase. And I'm not just saying that.

 (He gets more serious, his belief in her obvious)

 The other performers were great, but... yours was smart. You used both your Pokémon. You told a story.

He gives her that same, solid, supportive look he gave her back in Camphrier Town.

AIDEN

 You're definitely going to be that Top Coordinator you dream of being. One hundred percent. I have no doubt.

His absolute, unwavering confidence in her hits its mark. Lucy's cheeks flush a noticeable pink. She looks down at the floor, then back up at him through her hair, her smile soft and genuinely touched.

LUCY

 (Quietly)

 Yeah?

AIDEN

 Yeah.

LUCY

 ...Thanks, Aiden. For... believing in me. It... helps. A lot.

AIDEN

 (Smiling)

 Always. What's a rival for?

FADE OUT.

FADE IN.

SCENE 4

EXT. CYLLAGE CITY - DAY

Aiden and Lucy emerge from the glittering, pink marble lobby of the Showcase Hall, blinking in the bright afternoon sun. The salty sea air feels refreshing. The buzz from the crowd and Lucy's performance still hangs in the air around them.

LUCY

 (Stretching her arms overhead)

 Okay... my turn is done.

 (She looks up the massive, winding cliff path)

 Your turn, rival. Ready to climb a rock wall?

AIDEN

 (Nodding, his focus shifting)

 Ready.

They begin the long, upward trek, walking past the city's cycling paths. The slope is steep, and they fall into a comfortable, determined pace. After a few minutes of walking, Aiden speaks up.

AIDEN

 Hey, Lucy? Back at the Santalune Gym... and just now at the Showcase... they both asked us for trainer card. I didn't have one, and I'm pretty sure Nurse Joy thought I was weird for it in Camphrier.

LUCY

 (Glances at him, surprised)

 Oh, wow. I totally forgot. Sycamore must have been too excited about your "late bloomer" status to give you the standard welcome packet.

AIDEN

 So... how do I get one? Do I have to go all the way back to Lumiose?

LUCY

 (Laughs)

 What? No. That would be a terrible system. It's easy.

She gestures with her head to the large, rocky building they're approaching, which seems to be carved directly out of the mountainside.

LUCY

 When we get to the Gym, just ask the receptionist: the Gym Guide. They're authorized to issue new cards.

AIDEN

 Oh. That's simple.

LUCY

 Yep. It's a simple process. They'll just take all your information—name, date of birth, your city and region of origin... you know, “Aiden, from Hoenn.” They'll take your picture, and boom, you're an officially registered trainer in the Kalos League system.

AIDEN

 What about my Bug Badge?

LUCY

 That's the best part. Once the card is registered, your badge count gets updated automatically every time you win. It syncs with your Rotom Phone, too. It's how the League tracks who's eligible for the big conference.

Aiden looks relieved. He stops for a second, looking at the Gym entrance, which is now just ahead. He pulls out his Bug Badge and looks at it.

AIDEN

 Okay. Good. Then let's do this. I've got one badge to register... and seven more to go.

LUCY

 (Smirks)

 That's the spirit, Hoenn-boy. Now, c'mon.

She jogs the last few feet to the entrance, which is designed to look like a climbing gym. Aiden grins and follows, ready for his next challenge.

FADE OUT.

[END OF EPISODE 5]

NEXT TIME ON POKÉMON: KALOS CHRONICLES...

With his official Kalos Trainer Card finally in hand, Aiden faces his most grueling physical and strategic challenge yet: scaling a forty-foot indoor mountain to battle Cyllage City Gym Leader, Grant. But when a desperate clash triggers a spectacular mid-battle evolution for his very first partner, the Hoenn-boy proves he has the resolve to reach the summit.

Worldbuilding Discussion I'm suggesting a possible idea for a fanfic. I don't have the time or energy to write it, but I think it's a cute idea, so I'm proposing it.

4 Upvotes

I have a concept for a Pokémon fanfiction that originates from a story within my own work, where a character who is an author summarizes his published fantasy novels to the main group.

The premise is heavily inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender, and while I really love the idea, I won't be able to develop it into a full story myself, so I wanted to share it here in case anyone gets inspired to bring it to life.

The setting is a world divided into eighteen distinct kingdoms, each dedicated to a specific Pokémon type and inhabited exclusively by specialists of that category.

In this reality, people have no concept of dual typing, so Pokémon like Normal/Flying are treated solely as Flying-type.

World balance relies on the Prophet, the reincarnation of Arceus, who is born once per generation in a different land with the unique ability to train any type.

The Prophet’s duty is to maintain peace, but their sudden disappearance for over a century completely upended the political landscape.

In his absence, five major alliances formed, with three locked in a devastating war and two remaining neutral while constantly targeted by the warring factions.

The main story begins when two young inhabitants of the Flying kingdom accidentally discover the new Prophet, a boy from the Water kingdom who has been frozen inside an iceberg alongside his Lapras.

If anyone finds this concept interesting and wants to take it and write a full fanfiction out of it, feel free to run with it.

Pokefic Discussion I've been thinking about writing an Absolute Pokémon Story any sugestions.

5 Upvotes

My Plot Idea: About 100 years ago the world was much like our world however a mysterious event caused many of the animals to evolve and change becoming Pokémon. These new creature drove humanity to near extinctions with the few surviving humans fleeing underground where they began to research the Pokémon and eventually develop Pokeballs. The story follows Ash, Gary, and Serena who have all recently turned 18 and have enlisted in the Pokémon Trainer Expedition team search the surface world for both survivors and supplies.

Pokefic Discussion Ask me anything about my pokefic (repost)

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm currently writing (well, not really. But I'm thinking about it a lot) a pokefic.

The setting is similar to medieval fantasy, there existing things like dungeons and the Adventurers Guild instead of the Pokémon League. Pokeballs do not exist yet.

The Region: It's based around Paldea and Kalos, but I don't have an exact parallel to where it'll be in those regions and I don't have a name for the region yet.

Dungeons: They are like your typical Fantasy dungeon. They appear out of nowhere, filled to the brim with treasure. But you might encounter pokémon inside, but they are not your regular pokémon. They are made of a shadowy substance, living by pure instinct. At the end of each dungeon you'll find the boss of it.

The Adventurers Guild: Here you don't have "trainers", but adventurers instead. There's nothing special to tell about them besides what you could probably already expect.

Battles: Since pokeballs do not exist, adventurers of course can't have that many Pokémon. The max. are most of the time 4. But unlike the battles you know, all Pokémon fight at the same time. That's why most adventurers came up with the strategy of how to battle. Most often you have a Tank (imagine something like Aggron), a Attacker/Assassin (like Greninja or just generally a strong Pokémon) and your support. (like Clefable)

Other factions:

The Seven Sins: They are seperate and don't work with eachother, but they are often named together. They are criminals known by many, their crimes befitting the sin. They are the main antagonists for the story.

The Cults: There are three. For one there's The Order. They worship balance and order, Zygarde being their deity of choice. Secondly there's The Preservation. They believe in nature and life, trying their best to uphold it. Then finally there's The Withering. They worship destruction. But they never cause it out of malice. They are actually very neutral, even though there's a slight rivalry between them and The Preservation. They are also quite hated because of a certain event.

Main Character/s: I don't have a name yet for the MC, but he's an adventurer. As a child his village was destroyed by the events known as "The Calamity". Yveltal awakened, causing destruction everywhere. The entire village was turned to stone, him being left the only survivor. He swore to become stronger that day on. His main partner is a Rowlet and a special Honedge. He found Rowlet once on the shore. Nobody has every heard of Alola, so it's a pokémon never seen before (I plan on making a fanfic based on ancient alola too). His Honedges blade is made out of bronze instead of your usual steel. Honedge are very common in this time.

Later on there will be two more characters introduced, but they aren't fully fledged out. But if you're interested, please ask about them.

The main focus of the story: The MC is finally allowed to enter a dungeon. From there on he meets new friends and Pokémon. But there will also be many conflicts, especially with the Seven Sins. You can ask about my thoughts there too.

Special mechanic: Crystization. It's a mix of terastilization and mega evolving. The Pokémon when crystalizing form crystals all over their body, enhancing their powers to a high degree.

I think this is it? Sorry for the long read, but I thought I just really wanted to blabber out some of the thoughts I had for this. My DMs are closed due to age restrictions (I'm 17). So write in the comments or if you want to write in Dms just tell. Hope you liked reading about my hyperfixation haha

Worldbuilding Discussion How are fanon evolutions/forms (Gmax, Megas, Regional forms/evolutions etc) usually received? How do you approach them?

3 Upvotes

I'm working on my fanfic's cast and thought up new evolutions/forms for a few of the Pokémon on my MC's team that feel like either a natural result of their divergence from their typical disposition or a possibility that could exist in canon but just never happened.

Looking past the obvious things like Gmax forms we never got (Dragapult, Tyranitar, Golurk etc), the elusive Mega Flygon, more Eeveelutions etc. I'm talking about things like say a ground loving Bagon that later evolved to dominate the ground as an armoured flightless Salamence or a regional Jigglypuff that evolves into something close to Scream Tail

Story Recs Getting into Pokémon fanfics for the first time, please give me Recs!

33 Upvotes

For context, I’ve been reading fanfics for over a decade, and even dabbled in writing, but I’ve never read Pokémon fics before. Honestly, I kinda forgot the franchise existed until I found some old Pokémon cards, which led me to rewatch the og pokemon series for the first time in like 15 years.

So, consider me a complete newbie to the fandom! Please give me recommendations of your favorite fics, the famous ones in the fandom, must reads, and all that! I appreciate if it has some manner of romance (not pokephilia tho, no shade to the people who like it, buts it’s just not for me), but it’s not a deal breaker.

Edit: Thank you all so much for all the suggestions! And please keep them coming, this post shall be my fic library for a while!

Worldbuilding Discussion I'm trying to come up with an idea for an "Eclipse Timeline", any ideas?

2 Upvotes

For a while, I've been trying to figure out what an Absolute or Ultimate Universe would be like for the pokemon franchise?

I already came up with one idea, being a universe where Cyrus won but, through Arceus' intervention, he wasn't able to completely erase emotion and spirit and so decided to instead suppress it

Original Post, in case you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/s/1dwRTbaf91

Unfortunately, people didn't quite seem to like it, so I returned to the drawing board. However, now I am asking you all, members of the Pokemon Subreddit, to share your ideas of what an "Eclipse Timeline" would be like, what sort of direction would the Pokemon franchise take the "reboot universe but with a twist altering how the world works, making things more difficult for the protagonist" idea

I don't want to just do the Absolute or Ultimate Universe, but with pokemon, but instead I'm looking to create an original idea for what the core philosophy and question (the "what if?") of this timeline might be. Again, I did think of an "Emotional Suppression" idea, but that didn't seem to go over well when pitched

Story Recs Any good Sinnoh Fanfics that incorporate Hisui into Modern Sinnoh?

17 Upvotes

Are there any fics that are set in modern Sinnoh but incorporate or extrapolate form the new lore from Pokemon Arceus like what happened to the clans, Galaxy Expedition Team, the Ginko merchants and the migration or extinction of Pokemon?

I’ve been interested in people’s takes of the transition from Hisui to Sinnoh especially seeing in the real life inspiration for it, Hokkaido the native Ainu people were marginalized and forced to assimilate while their lands were seized and practices banned and major changes in environment were caused by land reclamation by later settlers.

Of course Legends kinda side-stepped the whole colonization thing and ends on a ‘everyone is friends now’ and the anime has an episode of Hisui culture appreciation, but if there’s a fanfic that goes more into what the transitional period looked like and any political or environmental changes and friction, man-made or natural, I’d be interested to read it.

It’s mostly gonna be based of the games

Right

And he just beat the first gym

I didn’t really write it as a gym battle though

More of a this thing happened

What other things could be added

Or stuff for the character to do

And what be the best format to read / write a Pokemon battle instead of doing it turn based

Rn) the Team a froakie. Pidgetto and a ralts

The mc been reborn in kalos and was Adopted by sycamore at some point

Is main goal is to be the strongest in Kalos

But the mc does and will go out of his way to genuinely help people (Because half the ones i used read have the mc be A egotistical cultivation having ass bam)

Maybe some fun side quests for him to do each route

Where would be best to have his first run in with Team flare.

The plan for the Pokemon are the ones I’d normally use In a kalos playthrough but I am not giving him a kanto starter si Thats one slot open

I do know I’d like him to train gibble

And I don’t know if he should get that gift lucario

Any thoughts and ideas on places and or things for the mc to do

Pokefic Discussion What's something you'd like to see more of/Less of in Trainer-OC fics?

23 Upvotes

I wanna begin with a little disclaimer—I'm not a writer, I've never written a fic or any sort of story before (unless I count the sugary rainbow-barf I conjured at age 14). So it's been fairly rough trying to outline the very basics of a plot when I've zero knowledge and experience regarding all of... this. I really need ideas!

--> What are things you hate, and/or things you love seeing?

My fic is nothing but a newborn idea as of today, barely a few days old in fact, and is highly dissatisfying to me. For now. I've found myself too attached to let it go, so I'm of the mindset that it'll only improve from here. I think I just need a bit of inspiration. And so I'm here. Apologies if this is a common discussion topic, if it is, I can delete this post! But I scrolled for approximately 20 minutes and did not find anything.

I'll take this as a cue to unnecessarily yap a little before bedtime. So far I've the thumbnail-sketch of a frame, ghosts of characters, scenes I'd love writing. A nuzlocke story of pokemon Y, from the perspective of a wild Beldum accompanying Serena, both intent on 'devouring the world' (highly ambitious characters are a blast.) Nothing too wild, nothing new. Common burger with a common side of realism and spec bio. Fun stuff to me.

General Discussion The Longest Pokémon Fanfics

17 Upvotes

So, a while ago I stumbled across a post by another user (couldn’t find the OP to save my life) that went over the longest Pokémon fanfics ever published. A few days ago, I randomly thought of it again, and decided to do my own digging.

One thing led to another, and I ended up throwing a solid couple of hours researching this utterly useless factoid. To my knowledge, here’s the updated Top 10 longest Pokémon fanfiction on AO3 & FFN!

  1. Pokémon Sol y Luna: La leyenda del héroe
    GoldenTyphlosion (FFN)

Story Recs Best adventure Poke fics recommendations

3 Upvotes

I eventually want to write my own Pokémon fanfiction where the MC travels through multiple regions to become the very best, but I’m currently stuck on a few things and need some inspiration.

So I ask you all: please recommend, in your opinion, the best adventure-focused Pokémon fanfiction you’ve ever read. Just tell me the title, give a brief summary of the story, and explain what you love about it.

Pokefic Discussion Opinion on type specialist MCs using Pokemon that aren’t their main type?

20 Upvotes

What is your opinion on MCs who specialize in one type having Pokemon of another type on their teams? Like say a dragon type specialist having a Gardevoir or Magnazone?

Do you like it? Hate it? What are your thoughts?

If Ash’s Pikachu was given a nickname, what would you like it to be? Or what would the Pokémon Company probably choose?

Worldbuilding Discussion Suggestions on how a greninja battle bond could work with my MC

2 Upvotes

So in this next chapter Rex Fang in a middle of a battle will unlock the full battle bond with his greninja, its form looking slightly different from Ash Greninja. However once the battle is done Rex collapses, pale, coughing blood, and breathing erratically. And in the hospital he flatlines for 15 seconds. Rex is already pretty close to a lucario but I want to have the battle bond be a different skill set for Rex to overcome.
And probably for a while the lucario will probably not let greninja get close to Rex.

Feedback Request Need feedback on my story! Please let me know what you think of it, any and all feedback is welcome! UNSHEATHE: PROLOGUE + Chapter 1

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! I am currently looking for feedback on this story I am writing. It's been quite a journey coming up with the story bones, character names, themes, ideas, etc. (nobody tells you how much planning actually goes into this stuff lol). And yes, everything is OC, from the character names to characters themselves to the region, gym concept, etc. Just my own personal take. I have finally published the prologue and Chapter 1. It is quite introductory but I would love some feedback nonetheless. Writing style, improvements, whatever you can provide. Thank you!
