It might be a bad idea to post a story update when we're less than 20 posts away from the bump limit, but it's been too long and I want to get this part out today. Now presenting part 2 of my Ribombee/Vespiquen thing.
http://pastebin.com/5nLSjy0fI tried thickening the plot and adding more emotion here. I'm not sure if it worked out, so any feedback or advice for how to improve in those topics, or anywhere else in general, would be much appreciated.
Also, the next part will be the final one, and it'll also be quite a bit shorter than the first two. I'll work on it today and it should come out tomorrow.
