He was a catch, but Phoebe had known him first, and she didn't want her unconventional sister to take away her chance with him. As Phoenix and Perry's unconventional love story unfolds, they face many challenges. Their slow-developing love becomes a part of Phoenix, who is not like everyone else.

Chance is a strange concept. Anything can happen but it won't because it's not likely. But a little chance is all that's needed for something extraordinary to happen. The question is what will happen next? Disclaimer. I don't own Pokémon and JoJo is Araki's greatness. I do not care if you read. This is a side thing. Don't expect consistent uploads.

Stories... They are one of the major essences of life -- abundant everywhere, yet barely noticed. Don't believe it? Think... That colleague of yours that recently got fired, do you think of them often? Regardless, their life is a story. The old man you saw while walking down the street, how is he now? You probably don't know, but he has his own story. That acquaintance you've always known to be an orphan? They definitely have a story. Finally, that web novel author whose writing you mocked? They must have quite a few, including their own (you might just be part of one). The difference is that the ones deemed uninteresting and clichéd are not seen, heard or read by outsiders. ------------------------------------------------------------------ This specific story is about a man who thought his life was decent - maybe even better than that with his recent achievements. And it truly might've been if the poor soul went unnoticed by the cruel hands of fate. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Try and read this newbie author's attempt of granting this man a story that would be considered his... and only his.
