I'm currently working full time on a nocturnal schedule and trying my best to get some writing done whenever I can manage the time. Again, sorry for the gap in between updates. I hope you still enjoy reading my work when it does come out.

I also urge you to check out my ao3 account, as it has a few stories I do not intend to post here, such as a story for A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones.

As per a request from the readers of my Pokemon fanfic, Challenger, I've decided to create a list of the Pokemon that each trainer has along with their nicknames (if they have one) to make identifying them easier. These will obviously be updated as the story gets longer. If you have any further questions or need clarification on something, just PM me or leave a review in the story.

I'll be including the known move sets of each Pokemon in the bios. In addition, I'll be adding their abilities and any unique techniques, as well as a list of the TMs currently owned by each trainer. Note: If the Pokemon has not officially debuted/battled in the story, its current move set will not be listed until then. All move sets will also be updated as time goes on and the story progresses.

As of January of 2021, I am in the process of re-writing Challenger, and will be updating each and every chapter until I feel the story has been properly corrected from the various damages I've dealt to the plot as time has gone on. It will take time to repair, but I hope you'll bear with me.

As a result of this massive overhaul, the bios will be adjusted and show only the moves/TMs for each trainer as they stand in the updated version of the story. It might be confusing for a while, but it'll make more sense as more chapters are updated. Moves are generally ordered by their type. For example, Pyro's moves go in order of fire-type, normal-type, dragon-type, and so on.

Without further ado, here are the bios for Challenger. Keep in mind these are set by the most recent appearance of a character.
