COVER & RULES | < Previous | Next >


Hullo everyone! We finally meet our main character and learn a bit about the League! In fact, it's going to be very different since it has been revamped in the past few years, I wonder what that'll mean for our lovely gal when she joins. Also, Elm can always count on Nell's eggcelent postal service ;3c and it turns out that not everything is as it seems! FYI Elm is my personal favorite side character that will probably never appear again xD

Again, this is a consolidation of pgs 1-3. Check my Smackjeeves link for more frequent updates!

Worldbuilding Tidbits:

- I've always liked the idea of messengers and the ponyta express (which we might see in the future) so the delivery of the Mystery Egg to Elm was the perfect start for Nell's story.
- In the first panel on the right, you can see a Rock Incense with Sudowoodo design motifs and a Metal Coat that I based off of Scizor and lacquered cases. Item designing is really fun even if its slightly irrelevant lol.
- Not many pokemon again, tho you do get to see Paige (the Pidgeot) and Fern (Elm's Furret) on the side. Elm's kid is super cute btw, I need to have a kids gang soon even tho Silver and Oli will never meet.
- Elm's position in this story was similar to his original status as Pokemon Professor Director of Evolutionary Studies, although he has been demoted since the Fall. For now, he's adjusting to a simpler life as an Associate Breed Standard Evaluator for the local Breeder's Society. His wife got to keep her position, so she's much more of the breadwinner in this family.
- Eggs are very important, especially that egg. Yes, you guessed right.

Waitasec, is that the GS Ball that Elm found in the box?? Gosh I love finding easter eggs! I'm silently going to wonder and ponder now if this means Celebi is going to play a role now, somehow...!
