This chapter features two firsts for the series. The one is the first true appearance of a Generation V Pokémon. By this point, Gen V had been around for about two years but I hadn't included any of the new features because I wanted to keep the fic Gen IV. However, realizing how long it would take me to finish the damn thing, I just decided why the hell not! The second first is cameos of Pokécharms members! One cameo is of one of my wonderful kohais and the other is of a former member. Enjoy! ^_^

Also, I'd just like to point out that this chapter, and by default the last chapter to feature the upper echelon of Team Aqua, this was written before ORAS which is why members retain their RSE appearances. Personalities were my doing.

But just who is this mysterious Trainer and what makes him so formidable to be considered by Raiden to be A Worthy Opponent? Incidentally, out o the previous 46 chapters I've posted this day, this one is the first new chapter never ever seen on Pokécharms until now! I would have liked it and the remaining three new chapters to have been posted on the actual anniversary date of January 8th, but I'll settle for the fact that it's still the 8th in the far west. Another fun fact, at 21 pages and 10,739 words, this is the longest chapter of anything I've ever written. =0

Chapter 50: One Wild Night and the Morning After by Psycho Monkey
This is it friends, the FINAL chapter! Of Volume 1 anyway. It's been seven long years, 489 pages, and 244,111 words to get this far and we're only at the halfway point. I can't promise when I'll start Volume 2 or how long that'll take, but I'll stick with it until the end. Thank you, all of you, for sticking with me this long and I sincerely hope to see you at the end of the line too. Until then, enjoy the fruits of our labor. Yes, OUR labor. Besides my own stubbornness to finish what I start, you guys are what've motivated me to stick with this project for so long. :')
Timeline, Trivia, and Teaser by Psycho Monkey
It's that time of year again, RoTN's eighth birthday! Still can't believe this thing is that old already. Unlike previous years I don't have a brand new chapter for you guys so you'll just have to settle for some bonus material instead. I present you with a timeline of events that happen from Brian's first encounter with Madison all the way to Leader's proclamation in case you need a refresher. There's also some behind the scene facts about the story which is mostly commentary by yours truly. And last but not least, probably the real reason anyone would want to read this, a teaser for Vol2. This should be obvious, but the following does contain spoilers for Vol1 if you haven't read/finished it yet.

On this day, the 10th anniversary of the longest running series on Pokecharms, I bring you the first chapter of the long await Volume 2 of Team Neos at last!

You're gonna want to read Vol1 first if you haven't already for things to make sense. ;p
