because I have an obsession with this game
Obligatory introductory stuff:
Hello, and welcome. I'm here to annoy you all once again, this time with yet another PMD-style fanfic. It's a story I've been kicking around in my head for who-knows how long, but hopefully this time I can commit to it fully. I want to complete this eventually, and maybe by posting it here I can actually do that.
Now, you might be thinking to yourself, "Hey, haven't I seen this before?"
You have! Well, sort of. I posted this very same story on this very same site a few years back, but I dropped it due to real life issues. When I finally decided to come back to it, I wasn't happy with how it turned out. I feel I've gotten a little bit better in my writing, and I decided to do a complete rewrite of the fic, from start to finish. So, for those few who might have read the original version, stay tuned, because the story has been changed extensively. Several parts are being removed, chapters being completely rewritten, plot points shifting, the works, but the core premise and story are mostly intact.
So, with that out of the way, hope you enjoy, and do let me know what you think!
This post will serve as the table of contents. Any edits made will also be recorded here, detailing what was changed and when. Think of them like patch notes for your favorite video game. All chapters and entries will be posted after this.

Stories tell of a world occupied only by pokémon, tales of friendship and trust, of pokémon banding together to help others in need, of exploration and discovery. These stories are filled with examples of heroism, courage, bravery, and determination.
This is not one of those stories.
Born into a family with a long-standing line of heroes, Joshua is anything but. Timid, nervous, and endlessly anxious, Joshua never could play the part of the hero. Yet, pressured by family expectations, Joshua finds himself joining the legendary Explorer’s Guild, the same group that his family has been a part of for generations.
Doubtful of his own ability to succeed, Joshua nonetheless finds himself entangled in a sinister plot by shadowy forces. Seeking an ancient power known only as “The Colossus,” they threaten the peace and sanctity of the continent and all those who live in it. With Joshua caught in the crossfire of a conflict he never wanted anything to do with, he must make a decision: to run away, or to find it within himself to become the hero that he never expected to be.
