Lol yes, I do love to keep readers guessing. It amuses me to hear theories, too. Some of them get answered... others I have yet to write. xD Some of the things I've actually forgotten about because it's been so long, unfortunately, but hopefully most things won't escape my memory.

As for the names, well some of the characters are actually guest stars. Izante is actually a name created by an ex-friend of mine who I actually began the story with. She was writing from Izante's point of view and I from Dusty's, but she stopped writing the story because we kept having clashing opinions. The original direction of the story was completely different to what I made the story into; I doubt she ever wrote anymore, whereas I branched off and made it my own story. Zhol was a guest star, though I lost her personality information so the only thing I still have left of her guest star form (made by someone on Pe2k, as were all the other guest stars), is her species and her name. xD Most of the names I made up, but some of them I didn't (mostly a few pokémon on the ship, such as Hakumei (hope I spelled that right xD). But yeah, otherwise I just randomly come up with them. I have a document with a list of names I've thought of at times that I refer to when I need a name for a character. Oh lol, thanks. I'll fix that up. x) If you see any other mistakes, don't hesitate to let me know!

xDD Yep, that's one of those times where I dragged it out unnecessarily... I actually got feedback from someone who told me that she didn't like the fact that I dragged it out since there was no point to it, and if anything it just caused anxiety for her. Oops. I sort of regret doing that, but don't worry, it gets cleared up soon. xD LOL THANKS. <3
