UPDATES:
May 21, 2016 - Hey you guys! How are you doing? TrainerKelly here!! I am here to link you guys to a VERY important update regarding the series: rambles.trainerkelly.net/?p=35…

Long story short, I'm postponing releasing additional episodes until next year due to some other, significantly more important projects. Click the link and read the post for additional information!

----------------------

April 1, 2016 - HAPPY POKÉMON ANIME ANNIVERSARY EVERYBODY! I know it's also technically April Fools Day too, but screw that day. POKÉMON ANNIVERSARY DAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! For the anime! Which is 19 this year. Next year, it will be 20 years. Ho daaaang!! Can you BELIEVE THAT? 20 years of the Pokémon anime...it really doesn't feel that long, huh?

I didn't intend to make this update, but I realized it has been a while.

KELLY'S JOURNEY IS STILL ONGOING!

I didn't realize that I hadn't updated this since August 2014!

You are probably wondering "KELLY, WHERE ARE THE EPISODES?!"

THEY ARE COMING! THEY ARE COMING! I know I have been saying that for like...two or three years, but it's true!

I've written episodes 23 through episode 25 completely for KJ. Which is awesome, right?!

The current plan is to start uploading the episodes during the later half of this year, alongside about a trillion other things planned.

SO, I have work ahead of me.

Encouragement is...encouraged. Definitely. Suppoooorttt meee...or not. It's up to you.

You guys are awesome. Thank you for your patience!!

August 15, 2014 - Hey guys, you probably know who this is at this point. How are you guys doing?

Kelly's Journey has been surprisingly swift recently, for whatever reason. I've felt at ease writing the episodes. I actually feel like I could finish one a week if I wanted to ignore the rest of life (or most of the rest of life), but that's not really that great of an idea, now is it?

Episodes 21 and 22 have been completely written and I'm a bit less than halfway done with episode 23. Obviously not a bad thing. I kind of wish I was writing more episodes right now.

I've temporarily put the earlier episode rewrites/edits on hold, only so I could catch up to the parts in Kelly's Journey where I WANT to be. That and I feel like if I did the rewrites, I would only focus on those, and not write the newer chapters. I still plan to work on those though when I'm more caught up to my target goal of 30 episodes (come on me, I can do it).

For those who are not keeping track, the episodes that are fully written, but not yet posted are:
Episode 17 (original storyline)
Episode 18 (Lt. Surge)
Episode 19 (S.S. Anne Part 1)
Episode 20 (S.S. Anne Part 2)
Episode 21 (Island of Giant Pokémon)
Episode 22 (Beauty and the Beach)

So, there are 6 episodes fully written. This is a GREAT thing (or at least, should be). If I post one episode a month, that means I have half a year's worth of episodes. An episode a month would be nice, right? I think so! I think an episode a month too is frequent enough to keep interest (although, thank you guys SO MUCH for keeping interest, even at the rate I post them at), but spaced enough to allow enough time between episodes. Unless you guys want to binge on them.

Just like my previous update (April 23rd, oh geez), is there anything you would like to see happen in Kelly's Journey? Any ideas for FUTURE episodes? Would you like game events inserted in places that the anime failed to feature? Or was there an idea that popped in your head for the series that made you think "I want to see this"? I'm curious to know! (As long as it's future episodes.)

Thank you guys for sticking around for so long. I hope to make you guys happy with a bit more frequent posting of the series!

----------------------

April 23, 2014 - Hello everybody, TrainerKelly here again! How are you all doing today? I felt like giving you guys an update on Kelly's Journey. You probably would like one, since you're in this group, huh? Maybe? Maybe not.

I completed episode 20 a few weeks ago and just completed the rewrite/edit of episode 2 today. I hope to be starting episode 21 and episode 3's rewrite/edit soon! I'm pretty excited about both of those - one's the Island of Giant Pokémon and the other one is the episode that made want to rewrite the earlier episodes.

If you are not keeping track, the new episodes that are written (but not posted) are:
Episode 17 (Original Storyline)
Episode 18 (Lt. Surge)
Episode 19 (S.S. Anne Part 1)
Episode 20 (S.S. Anne Part 2)

For Episode Rewrites/Edits, I have completed:
Episode 1
Episode 2

Just out of curiosity, does anyone have something they would like to see done in Kelly's Journey? Any sort of ideas for it, for a future episode? Was there something in the games you wish the anime had done, but hadn't? Or was there just something you thought about while reading KJ that made you think "hey, I want to see this"? Any suggestions for episodes past S.S. Anne Part 3 (Giant Pokémon) and in Kanto would be appreciated! I'm just curious on what kind of things you guys want to see. I guess what you guys don't want to see can be included too...but mostly, I want what you guys would like to see.

I hope everything is going well for all of you! I hope to have another update for you guys soon!

February 14, 2014 - Hello everybody, TrainerKelly here! I haven't updated in a LONG while, so let me do that.

First off, WELCOME NEW MEMBERS! You guys making me happy!
:iconalexnamars: :iconbrendanthehedgewolf: :iconlpcruz212:

I think everybody who reads KelJo probably already knows that episodes 15 and 16 have been out for a while. If you didn't:


Episodes 17, 18, and most recently (and by most recently, I mean yesterday), episode 19, have all been written. I'll be going back at some point and fixing them up to post, but not right now. I'm currently aiming to have a ton of episodes so I can start posting the series once a month.

KelJo is one of my majour goals this year. I haven't put as much effort into the series as I should and have wanted to, so I'm trying to make up for that now. You can read briefly about my goals for this year here and KelJo specific ones here. I'll admit I did fail for January, but February seems to be off to a decent start...ignoring that I got sick, which delayed me for about a week.

If you're not going to read those entries, that's perfectly fine. In short, I plan on writing as many KelJo episodes as possible this year and post them up once a month next year. I don't expect to put up any new episodes this year, but if I get up to episode 29 or 30 before the end of the year, I'll consider it.

For those of you celebrating Valentine's Day, Happy V-Day to you!

Otherwise, have a great day!

----------------------

June 17, 2013 - There's nothing new on the Kelly's Journey front. Just wanted to announce that Hurricane500000 is currently holding a poll for best KJ soundtrack piece - hurricane360.deviantart.com/jo… - so please have a listen and vote! Thank you~!

----------------------

May 3, 2013 - OVER A YEAR SINCE THE LAST UPDATE. Oops. Sorry about that, folks! TrainerKelly here. KJ (or as I'm starting to call it, KelJo) isn't dead. I've been busy with a lot of other stuff, if you've been following me on my actual account and paying attention to my journals on there.

I must direct your attention to :iconhurricane500000:'s WONDERFUL song for Kelly's Journey that goes a bit ahead of where the story is, but that's okay. Check out "Kelly V.S. Koga" here and send :iconhurricane500000: some love! Either on his dA page or on YouTube. (He's also done some more as well, including a generic techno track that works well for playing in Kelly's headphones and a Kelly V.S. Misty song (which can be heard here.)

There's been quite a few new members! So I welcome:
:icono0jeeperscreepers0o: :iconcartoonfan22: :iconhurricane500000: :iconcelestetsumikiworks: :iconintaresting: :iconthegreenseaturtle:

Thanks for joining!

----------------------

March 2, 2012 - Hello again! TrainerKelly here, if that wasn't obvious at this point. I have some potentially awesome news for you people!

First thing's first though - welcome new members! We have quite a few of them, and frankly, I'm quite pleased about this!
:iconemi-chii25: :iconashk1980: :iconlinkybear: :iconx3kadijo: :iconv-on:

And now - THE AWESOME ANNOUNCEMENT, OH YEAH!

I have finally finished writing episode 15! YAY! *throws confetti* I'm honestly questioning why it took me so long to write, but hey, now it's done. I just need to edit it, which I'll probably do in a day or so.

Also, I have two KJ comics - one is in between episodes 14 and 15, the other one some side thing. Expect the former sooner than later.

That's all for now! I hope you're looking forward to the next chapter!
----------------------

January 7, 2012 - Happy New Year, everyone! TrainerKelly here if it wasn't obviously at this point. I have to apologize for people who have been watching me on my account for KJ and got bombarded by a strange comic instead with no new KJ episodes. Hopefully, those will come this year~

I have to welcome our new members - we've had quite a few since last time:
:iconchrisofduty6: :iconbunnygirl867: :iconadenchan: :iconshiranai-atsune:

Welcome all of you!

And the second thing I would like to announce is there is now an Onlyinadreamshipping group! If you like the pairing for one reason or another, you may wanna join:
:iconoiadshipping:

You can check out the Onlyinadreamshipping Shrine too if you're bored and are looking for some exclusive artwork by me.

On the final note, I'm having quite a few KJ-related comics coming up. I hope you'll like them when they do come out! (Though, I know you guys would rather have the chapters - they're coming! They're coming!)

----------------------
September 4, 2011 - TrainerKelly here! First, let's welcome the newest members:

:iconmister-pancakes: :iconsatoshisgirl:

WELCOME! =DD

And second...I probably should say what is going on with Kelly's Journey. Usually I get three episodes out per year, but this year I'm only going to have two. DON'T WORRY THOUGH. I'm not giving up on KJ. There will be no new episodes for this year, but if things go as planned (...which they probably won't knowing me), there will be tons of episodes next year. So please don't worry!

----------------------
April 26, 2011 - TrainerKelly here~ =D Hopefully all of you know this, but Kelly's Journey episode 14 is finally up here on dA! YAY! So, if you have a chance, please go read it!

Also, I would like to thank everyone who has joined within the past few months:
:icononionringz64: :icondeviledangels7486: :iconmisty-dawnketchum011: :iconthe-dragon-childe: :iconkhfant:

THANK YOU! =D

----------------------

April 25, 2011 - TrainerKelly here once again! I am here to inform you that Kelly's Journey episode 14 has been written! It is currently only on the KJ website. It'll be putting it up on dA ASAP though! (You can find the episode here).

Shout out to the-dragon-childe for writing up an episode transcript for me! It cut down the time it took to write the episode and possibly some of the work! =D

----------------------

March 2, 2011 - Hello there everyone! Long time, no update. TrainerKelly here. There's not really any updates on the KJ side of things. I've been busy with a lot of things, but I am hoping to write a chapter this month. Let's see if that happens (I'm going to doubt it...=P)

A few notable things are though:
- The website has had a URL change. it is now kellysjourney.trainerkelly.net. (Alternate URL is here.)
- I added a Media Wiki to my website. There is a page dedicated to KJ, which is <a href-"trainerkelly.net/writtenworks/…">here. A lot of the pages aren't up yet and are still being worked on. If anyone wants to, feel free to add the summaries pages for the other KJ episodes on the episode lists! It would be helpful and highly appreciated!

That is all. Have a nice day!

----------------------

January 1st, 2011 - TrainerKelly here! Happy New Years to everyone, even if it is already January 2nd for you. It's 10:54 AM on January 1st when I'm typing this here...so yeah.

Kelly's Journey episode 13 WAS finished yesterday, but was only posted up on the website for direct download. It WILL be posted on dA, hopefully sooner than later.

I would also like to say this group has had the honour of being listed on:
:icongrouple:
Under the Pokémon fanfiction! :heart: Let's hope we get a few more fans? That'd be really cool!

Anyway...that's all for now. Next update will be about the updated chapters and whatnot. Bye!
