About darn time eh? I got through finals and am done with school which means I should be able to work on this for a while. I plan to be pumping out updates much much more frequently now.
This page...was obscenely long. I kind of gave up on the idea of shading...sorry v_v. I am also painfully aware of the anatomy flaws everywhere, but just couldn't find the motivation to fix all of them with how long this page took. The art style has started to shift too. Ah well. Did I mention I hate the Elder Sage guy? He's old, bald, and has facial hair. He is everything I hate to draw! D:<

Time to get going on page 9. Those cameos are long overdo an it's about time I actually started a gym battle geez. I'm trying to pick up the pacing, but we'll see. Future pages will probably pretty similar length-wise unless I can figure out better cut off points or learn how to pace things better.

I feel like I'm forgetting something....>_>
