Since I got burned out on Shine Diamond, we are going to jump ahead to Storm Gray and Unova on September 18--ten years to the day since BW came out.

Mind you, Shine Diamond will finish--all my writing performer stories made me want to get started on Storm Gray, since the Pokemon Musical is the new side quest in the remixed Unova.

From there, we'll continue to Kalos, circle back to Kanto and Houen, write Galar and the new version of Alola, and finish Shine Diamond

I also wanted to show more...

This week, Dawn comes to learn that not all Pokemon want to evolve!

This episode was dramatically rewritten to set up an arc down the line. Team Rocket was obviously taken out--Dawn's conflict about Kori evolving made for enough of a conflict.

The rehearsal scene and the singing game with Danielle sets up for a couple of episodes down the road, where the group actually performs with the Fantasia Company. This replaces the ping-pong tournament in the real show (not only...
