    Origin of your screen name(s)?

    Valin is the name of the main character's arch rival in a story I'd been writing. I simply chose that out of the many character's names I could have chosen.

    On which country do you live?

    I live in the US of A. I lived in New Hampshire for most of my life, but about a year ago, I moved to Arizona, out in the middle of the desert.

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    While losing to Lenora wasn't exactly the way I wanted my day to go, things didn't exactly go any better for Bianca and Cheren. Cheren challenged Burgh, but he ended up losing much worse than I did against Lenora, with Servine and Ralts getting KO'd by Burgh's first Pokemon alone, before...

    Quells and Qualms

    Maybe you should read more. I used to be the same way, writing, but not reading much, as I just couldn't get into books. However, I eventually got into listening to audiobooks while I work, and it's helped me a great deal with my writing ever since. Just find something to read/listen to, and...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    With all the action, danger, excitement, and unscheduled exercise of yesterday, I sleep like an Abra, through the snoring of the other trainers and the relative discomfort of the old-fashioned beds provided by the Nacrene City Pokemon Center. Apparently, I'd been sleeping more heavily than...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    (Continued from last post) We make our way along the pah toward the cliff. Burgh leads, and while not exactly looking like the athletic type, his long legs allow him to outdistance me easily. Scizor, in the back, has its arms wrapped around Cheren and Bianca, carrying them, hovering a few feet...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    I arrive back at the Pokemon Center at about late noon, handing in Dewott and Ralts to be healed from the battles out in the forest. After they get completely revitalized, we will head over to the museum, check out the exhibits, and I will at least try to express an interest. Hey, who knows? I...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    Eventually, I got to sleep. It took a short midnight stroll, a glass of warm milk, and finally, reading my notes until my eyelids got heavy and I drifted off. When I wake up, I feel mentally revitalized, like last night's incident was a thing from a few weeks ago, though not so much...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    With our new Ralts in tow, Cheren and I leave the daycare grounds, and go our separate ways to Striaton and Nacrene respectively. While the first half of Route 3 is wide-open and grassy, the second half, not far past the fork in the road, is heavily forested on both sides of the road. I...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    Route 3 is generally a wide open area, and wild Pokemon really hadn't shown up as often as I was hoping, though occasionally, gray bird-like Pokemon, called Pidoves show up. Like Rufflet, they are normal/flying-types, though they aren't nearly as gung-ho as the Eaglet Pokemon was when I first...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    I'm at Striaton Gym first thing after breakfast the next day. With Oshawott at my heels, and Bianca close by, though this time, she doesn't have Tepig outside its Pokeball, as she doesn't intend to challenge the Gym yet, we walk up to the restaurant, standing in line with a number of guests who...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    When we get back to the Pokemon Center, Bianca and I hand in the four Pokemon between us to be healed, and then head to the showers to get cleaned up. Now, unlike the devoid-of-privacy sleeping quarters, the Pokemon Center showers are are individual-based, which is good, because I'm...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    What comes after losing to Cilan, Cress, and Chili is just bizarre. They make us pay about 2,000 credits each as prize money for the battle. However, they claimed that the battle expenses were just 1,500 credits, with the other 500 credits to pay for a light dinner afterward (way overpriced). I...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    The trek from Accumula Town to Striaton City takes about four hours by foot. However, they are four hours well spent. There is nothing but forest on both sides of the road that is Route 2, and it seems a lot more Pokemon call this area home than Route 1; stronger ones too. The more common wild...

    Previous installment updated! Hope I did better :)

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    Thank you, Psycho Monkey for the comment, and you're absolutely right. To tell you the truth, I was a tad hesitant about the recent installment, as I felt as if it needed a little tweaking, but I just figured I was nervous and that it would be fine. I now know that my first instinct was right...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    The next day, first thing in the morning, I head down to Nuvema. I need to talk to mom about my newly-crafted summer plans. I enter my house and, upon seeing that mom's not in the kitchen, or anywhere on the first floor, I head upstairs, and to my room. I enter it, expecting to see it look...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    Good question. I guess it would have to be a year or two after Pokemon was introduced to the US, which is to say, about 8 or 9 years. The reason I'm using that as a measurement for my time as a writer was because my first attempt at writing was a Pokemon story (though the term, "fanfiction"...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    Two days pass. Since my room is trashed, I decided to put my new privileges as a Pokemon trainer to good use and sleep at Accumula Town's Pokemon Center. A Pokemon Center is a place where trainers take their Pokemon to be healed from battle. Thanks to the technology used by these places, a...
