Unfortunately, that's all I got for you tonight. I was meaning to post all nine years in one night, the one year anniversary of my good friend's (Ghastly from the other story) death, but due to work I had to delay it. I'll post fourth through fifth grade next week around this time hopefully. Here's my comfy discord server if you guys have any questions or want to check out my first greentext: vcQYRyj

You guys have been great to me, I really appreciate it.

fallingforpokemon on blogspot is the blog for anyone interested, and there is a link to falling in love with a pokemon greentext on imgur there as well, can't link it here because the system doens't like that.
