pokemon fanfiction new series preview title will be revealed tomarrow with the first part. and a note on a few other projects

this is just a post to reveal i am begining another fanfiction series for pokemon this iwll not be linked to any previous fanfiction series as is the case with most of them. for context i have wanted to try writing another pokemon trainer journey story for a while and decided after some thinking to feature an original character who will be a girl named zaori who will have a unique history connected to characters from the anime but in a twist which she won’t know initally she has some pokemon powers which will be explained at some point while the series will start in kanto the starter /won’t be from there. there will be gym battles and contests in the story this will feature liko and roy from horrisons in a mentoring roll but a lot of characters from horizons and the first 25 seasons will be featured i will try and avoid spoilers though as the dub is always behind the japan version.

a couple of other updates with survivor 50 premiering next year in a few weeks i will redo my survivor episode write ups with more details and some rankings and other things that won’t be before june 20 (when paramonut+ australia puts survivor 48 up). secondly i will soon be doing episode wirte ups of yu-gi oh sevens which i have been waiting ages for the chance to well thanks to prime video i now have the episodes that will be soon. thirdly there will be a new paw patrol fanfiction soon but am still in the planning stages on that.

afl 2025 mid season summary and power rankings

just giving you my thoughts on were the teams are at half way through the afl season. from last to first.

18. west coast – when you think they’d be back on track they are hopeless this year 1 win against the saints in perth who are very inconsistant and not good travelling so far long way off the pace.

17. richmond – if they won yesterday would be higher they can cause problems but are too young 3 wins so far including beating the suns in a major boilover.

16. sydney – biggest sliders and while they have injuries their recent form has been dsiapopinting losing to quiute a few sides on their level.

15. north – a few weeks ago would have been 17 no doubt but they are playing a lot better one bad quarter in 5 weeks against the flag favourites drew with the regining premiers and have smashed melbourne as well but other than the dees win were hopeless till a few weeks ago.

14. st kilda – might have them a bit high but they have smashed freo and beaten geelong so got to give them some credit (even though they are the only team to lose to eagles his year) at mravel can be dangerous.

13, port – you could order 12 to 16 in any order really if you ask me i have them higher for a few early wins but really they and the swans are this years sliders.

12. carlton – another tough one but they are slightly better now.

11. essendon – any team who have won over half their games and a percentage in the 80s should be the lowest in their teir.

10. gws – a side who is way too inconsistant and yesterday proved it even though they are in the 8 i just can’t see them staying there.

9. melbourne – 6 weeks ago you’d be laughed out of the room having them this high but apart from the hawks loss they are well back on track and a dangerous side i mean they stunned the lions at the gabba.

8. freo – a week or two might have them higher playing well but tnot consistant.

7. hawthorn – a few weeks ago top 4 now not so sure but if they get players back could again be a threat but losing to two sides they have had the wood over for years in a row is a concern.

6. gold coast – still not buying into them after yesterdays loss but they are well on track for finals.

5. bulldogs – they rarely move always just in the lower half of the 8.

4. adelaide – i think htey are now certain to be back in finals and are playing quite well easily 3rd if they won in gather round against.

3. brisbane – slipping a bit but still strong.

2. geelong – quite a good side can beat anyone on the day.

  1. collingwood – how 2024 went so badly i don’t know they are well on track to either win their 17th flag or repeat 2011 (best side but lose to cats).

with a few of nexts weeks matches being quite influentional on the rankings i will probably update this next week with my preview of the rounds matches.

flight report qf2046 also note on the sky bus

i took hte sky bus to and from the airport which all i’ll say is its very uncomfortable if theres no space. today i flew home on qf2046 to albury which was a great flight with all the pros of the flight down with the added bonus of a gluten free snack which we didn’t have on the way down early departure early arrival nice crew a great flight flight score 10/10. i’m not scoring the sky bus for the record but had to make a comment.

todays gospel reflection 6th sunday of easter year c

john 14 23-25

this is one of two gospels for this sunday so i chose the main choice it is about keeping hte word of god will get the love of god and if you don’t keep your words you don’t love jesus and that the peace of the lord is only his to give and about his death it is an improtant message about respecting the lords commands and how importnat it is to believe and follow his message.

Footy experience mcg hawthorn v Brisbane

Yesterday I went to the footy at the mcg to the twilight game while the result wasn’t what I wanted as a life time hawks supporter losing by 33 points but the experience was quite interesting  the crowd was mostly friendly with a few fans who got too excited and shouted at every decision  had good seats. The pre game was interesitng as it was indigenous round and they had a ceremony as well as the hawks song in an indigenous language (not Brisbane’s weirdly enough) they had a pre game interview with my favourite underrated retired hawks forward mark willams which was interesting (he retired in 2011 not to be confused with the ex port premiership coach of the same name). Didn’t stay till the end due to the scoreline not hard to get to the train is quite convinent. I enjoyed it mostly would have been better if the hawks won 7/10

Minotaur shop review

Yesterday I went to the best pop culture shop in Melbourne minotaur which specialises in a lot of anime and manga content (no anime DVDs any more unfortunately) has a great collection even two Floors it has specialised sections for the most popular franchises even putting my favourite two pokemon and yu gi oh next to each other. It is a great shop highly recommended 9.5/10

Today’s news 25th may 2025 sunday

Footy was a disaster with the hawks losing to lions. Pies smash roos, freo smashed port and giants beat blues. In the nrl roosters beat sharks and knights beat panthers. The coalition need to avoid going down the Trump path to be a long term government prospect. Airport curfews have to be stopped to get fairs back reasonable and allow more competition and flight caps need to be raised as well also there should be more exemptions for delays.

Flight review qf2047

Yesterday I flew from albury to melbourne on Qantas link the flight was early we boarded before 110 in groups left at 130 was at Melbourne at 210 our eta was 235 with end of 140 seat was 8a which was good windows seat no snack that I could have but it was less then an hour in the air overall mostly good flight 8/10

Today’s news 24th may 2025 Saturday

Essendon have beaten Richmond by 23. Eels stun manly in nrl although statte of origin played a part likely. Labor are still ahead in calwell with only two more candidates to be excluded. The afl doesn’t need to cut back on clubs it’s only been since free agency and an unfair draft system that the talent hasn’t been spread enough and that should be fixed (I’m looking at avcdedmy and father/son taking players who should go to clubs near the bottom of the ladder in the draft constantly going to brisbane and Collingwood for instance) Geelong are also replacing Sydney as the free agency abuser but they have both a track record and the academey picks while not having a big part yet needs to benefit all clubs not just the northern sides. The afl needs to start planning its 20th club as well now the suns might have finally earned their existence (clear word might) and stop bullying tasmania with the stadium as well or fund a lot more of it themselves.

Today’s news 23rd may 2025 Friday

Bad sporting day for bulldogs supporters losing in afl to Geelong and nrl to the dolphins. The libs cant commit to necelar to get the coalition back together and i also think its a bad move on debenture powers as it means they don’t stand for traditional liberal values. Labor are ahead in calwell but not called. Cathay pacific to return to Adelaide after many years which is good.
