GCEA Sinnoh Monthly Short Story Challenge

[[Desolate Divine]]

Thinking of doing something different with this GCEA Story.

In addition to the normal Short Story Competitions, we will be running a continuous challenge for the duration of this story. The purpose is to help people flesh out their characters.

Each month will have a different theme for your story, designed to delve deeper into your characters. By participating each month, you will get 10 points, but not in the sense of they get added to your GCEA total. These points stay entirely within this thread, and can be cashed in for a Pokemon of that point value. For example, if you participate in three months of challenge, you will receive ten points, for each, totaling to thirty. You could then cash in 20 of those points for a Vulpix. You can also gain an extra point per post of feedback you give on another players story, at maximum of 5 per month.
