I've been working on a story for a week or two, but now I've run into an issue. To better understand, I need to give a general idea of how the story goes:
About a week after the events of the Delta Episode from the Hoenn remakes, two teenage trainers search for the whereabouts of Zinnia after she disappears because one of them has a crush on her for stupid reasons. Unbeknownst to them, they are being used by an organization called Team Paladin, which is hellbent on exterminating all Dragon-Type Pokémon and see those who use Dragon-types as traitors, and those who specialize in them are punishable by death. As they narrow down the possibilities, they realize they've helped Team Paladin locate Zinnia and their search becomes a race against time to defend the Draconid Lorekeeper.
I like most of the general idea, but the reason they're searching for Zinnia is something I'm not fond of. As I kept writing, I found what the two trainers were doing to be kind of stalker-ish, and while I lampshaded it while I wrote, I realized that it was something I didn't want to continue with. Since I couldn't just surgically remove that aspect of the story, I've instead chosen to start over. However, I've had trouble coming up with an alternate excuse for their hunt, so I would like to ask for help. I would greatly appreciate suggestions for how to fix it. Thanks!
