I love story and creativity is as impressive as ever. I love the way you write the interactions between Ash and other characters. I'm also curious to what Pokemon you plan to give Ash. Looking at his team so far he's missing Dark, Fighting, Psychic, Steel, and Electric.

This is excellent and I'm so glad you are continuing to wrote rhis wonderful story!

Hi there!

While exploring fanfiction, I came across your story, Essence, and I was completely captivated by it! Your writing is so vivid and inspiring that I couldn’t help but imagine how amazing it would look as a comic.

I’d love the chance to adapt your story into a visual format, staying true to its essence while adding a dynamic artistic touch. My commission slots are currently open, and I’m ready to dedicate my time and creativity to bringing your story to life as a comic.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, feel free to reach out! You can contact me on Discord at pixelpartner69 or on Twitter PixelPioneer.

I look forward to the possibility of working together!

Phenomenal work as always i love how much detail you put in your writing though im sad blastoise and the other 2 strters arent getting much screen time and i wish growlithe training speeds up more after the reunion woth his mom cant for chpt 21

really good update.
so delia met ash pokemon, and ash got scolded for his lack of phone call to her.
also impressive observation skills, delia could be professor.
and finally ash shown Oak his articuno egg, can't wait future chapter and gym badges.

This chapter was so wonderful, the reunions were so emotional and I love how you've written Professor Oak.

YESSSSS! YESSSSS! I can finally continue this Masterpiece. I'm probably going to start rereading the entire story whenever a new chapter comes out to better piece the story together

Ash was finally able to talk to the professor! Honestly, I'm wondering what ash told him about the egg... it would odd for the professor not to demand the truth. I suppose the truth of ash being the chosen one is probably odd enough on it's own.

I'm glad you're still updating, this is one of the best pokemon stories out there.

good chap

Awesome always look forward to the next chapter I’m thinking ash goes back and meets a caterpie that decided to stay in the past to get stronger so it’s got more time to prepare for the battles to come and that there may be others and that’s why oak won’t let ash in the corral he’s got a team with massive amounts of experience ready to help him and him team train after ash gets back

another awesome chapter hope to see the next one soon.

This chapter was very heartwarming. Though I do wonder if Blastoise will start showing more emotion now that he's reached his dream of being well a Blastoise. Looking forward to the next chapter

Loved Ash's reunion with Professor Oak! And the little hints that you've dropped about Ash's time travels. I now honestly can't help but wonder if Butterfree is going to be there too, what with Oak spilling the fact that it's Gary's Pokémon. I honestly highly doubt that was an accident. Anyways, greatly looking forward to the next chapter!

The homecoming chapter is very nice. I guess Ash will spill the beans to Prof Oak next chapter then. I hope you will later on reveal what happened between Ash and Leaf in the past, his reaction to her was unusually hostile. Happy New Year 2025.

An Update! Awesome, thank you! Wasn't expecting this one given the lack of profile activity but much appreciated.
