Description

I have only borrowed characters and concepts from the TV show, otherwise, this book deviates from the show in story. All characters are at least 20+ (aside from actual child characters in the story).

Another Important DisclaimerThis is my original work, any copies besides the one posted on AO3 under the usernameA_MultiShippingMessare stolen works.

Misty, current Cerulean Gym leader, is torn between her complicated sense of self-worth and her former attachments in a world where time and power test relationships. Misty is forced to face not only the phantoms threatening her home but also the ghosts of her own heart, as Ash and Serena's connection serves as a continual reminder of what might have been. Misty must find her place in a world full of contradictory impulses and unsolved truths as long-buried emotions come back to the surface and the murky waters of Cerulean conceal unimaginable secrets.Rowan, a wandering researcher with a shadowed past, drifts from one forsaken place to the next, chasing truths buried where no one dares look. As the government watches his every step and the present grows increasingly haunted, the phantoms of his past begin to stir—threatening to unravel everything.
