Yeah, I did the Koichi battle and then was wondering if I should do as big a battle with Surge. I got a little self-conscious about running battle after battle after battle - I didn't want too much action clogging progress.
Of course, now that I see you're looking forward to a battle with Koga, I'd better bone up and deliver!
Your apt nickname for "Kanghostkhan" continues to resonate with me... I've a feeling that will likely show up in the story now.
I don't want to get too self-conscious about my writing process, though. All I can do is promise my level best. I'm hoping to knock some socks off with the next few parts!
