That’s a really good thought, actually! I think a small, cute Pokemon would be a great addition to Bell’s team for the purpose of cons and scams. That’s definitely something we’ll think more about! Thanks for the input!

Drew’s father works as the CEO of LaRousse Robotics Companyin LaRousse City. He’s a very wealthy and intelligent man who expected Drew totake over the company at one point in time. However, Drew ended up leaving homein order to pursue contests instead, as he had no interest in engineering. Drewhas an incredibly poor relationship with his father, and has become estrangedfrom him since he left home. As an adult, I doubt Drew has even seen his fatherin years and he’d rarely talk about him. Nick and Allie both know who he is andwhat he does, but they’ve never actually met him before. Drew’s mother, on theother hand, passed away when he was pretty young, so he doesn’t have manymemories of her. Drew does have a picture of her set up on his and May’s familyshrine in their home in honor of her memory though.

May and Drew don’t really argue too much in regards toteaching Allie about contests! The two have very different ways of approachingthings like training and style, but they have a lot of respect for the way eachother goes about it, too. To boot, when it comes to things like style, May andDrew both know that that isn’t something that can be taught and that it’ssomething Allie needs to figure out on her own by seeing what works best forher and her Pokemon once she starts entering contests.  However, when it comes to teaching Allielittle things May and Drew might get a bit nitpicky with each other at timesand have a bit of a back and forth. When that happens Allie just listensintently to both and turns her head to listen to who’s talking. In the end, shejust kind of tries to draw her own conclusions based on what they both said.

Yes! We like the idea of the main six all becoming a reallyclose-knit group of friends by the end of the story. So, eventually, Lizziewill be good friends with all of them (Skye included). Outside of the main sixthough, Lizzie is actually friends with Mica! The two of them grew up together,and they’re both pretty quiet people—so they’re able to tolerate each otherreally well. Lizzie will also end up forming bonds with other Pokemon Trainerswho she considers to be her rivals. They might not be buddy-buddy, necessarily,but she will have a relationship with them of sorts, too. There’s also hercousins, Joel and Isabelle, who Lizzie will end up having a significantrelationship with as well. We can’t give specific information at the moment, aswe don’t have it just yet, but Lizzie’s relationships are definitely somethingwe want to explore more!

Out of the adults, the only one who might be kind of aregular smoker would be Georgia. Other than her though, none of them are reallybig into smoking. Harley might on occasion, but he’s bigger into weed than heis into cigarettes. Zoey also might from time to time, but it’s incredibly rare because Candice cannot stand it. Zoey went through abrief smoking period, but in that time Candice also refused to kiss her, so sheultimately had to quit in the end.

We don’t have a definiate answer for that since it isn’t something we’ve thought a lot about. But we’re pretty sure that most of them will end up having or adopting children! But, again, we haven’t thought about it a whole lot, so that’s laregly going under the assumption that most of them seem like the type to want kids someday!

Conner and the twins have Brock’s eyes, while Leigh and Rachel have Autumn’s!

The only information we’ll give right now is that his nameis Deacon and he’s involved with Team Rocket! We’re planning a story that’sgoing to use him as a huge plot point, so more will be revealed when we getcloser to writing it!
