Notice:

I, alas, am but a humble scribe, tasked with the laborious toil of translating and editing this grand tome, a passion project that doth consume mine every waking hour and yet, in its creation, grants me fleeting moments of true fulfillment. The true creator of this tome can be found at the illustrious book.qidian.com, where the original work doth reside.

Beware, dear readers, for this novel shall not be a faithful retelling of the original, as the scribe has taken it upon themselves to make small changes in the quest for improvement of the overall reading experience.

Some amongst thee may have laid eyes upon these words in times past, when I, in my boundless ambition, did undertake the task of transcribing a tome under the guise of "Pokemon: Dark Rising". But lo, I say unto thee, that those same chapters have undergone a metamorphosis, a re-editing, if thou wilt. And though the thread of the tale doth remain unchanged, I beseech thee, dear friends, to peruse them once more with fresh eyes.

And until we meet again, I bid thee farewell and pray the gods of literature shall guide thee in thy journey through these pages.

Cheerio.
