Chapter 86: Past Revelations After considerable effort, I've finished my preliminary analysis of the Space Core artifact I discovered on my most recent expedition up Mount Coronet. The results are simply astounding! According to my calculations, the space core has a near-bottomless supply of...

It's a good start so far. One that pretty firmly establishes Sierra's hotheadedness, impulsiveness, and somewhat jerkass attitude and hammers in some of the potential consequences of that. And from what we see of Gwurm in the intro, he's a silly little guy. And overall it's interesting to start...

Chapter 85: Distant Tails OS Discrepancy Petition #94862048 PETITIONER: [Redacted] CATEGORY: Other SUBCATEGORY: Not Applicable COMMENT: Look, I don't know which category this goes under. Just read the description! DIMENSION: POV-2020 LOCATION: Not Applicable DOES THIS PERTAIN TO SPECIFIC...

So chapter 4 is... not at all what I expected given how chapter 3 ended. I figured it'd be Ember going to Oran Farms, or else already being there. Though now I have the sense that's going to happen offscreen, with this chapter introducing us to people she's going to run into who are going to...

Chapter 84: Lustrous Sheen Rough scales grazed Noctum's arms, telling him he'd gotten Valkyrie. He yanked her through the rift, but not before searing pain shot across his arms. Yowling, the black charizard fell on his back, with a dazed Valkyrie flopping onto his armored belly. Up on the...

Okay, yeah, I can see the very "Harry goes to Diagon Alley" vibes of this chapter. I mean, you're linking HP music at the end of the chapter but for me my go to for clearly British set pieces is now the Great Ace Attorney. This is Ampharos' theme; I accept no counterarguments. I would say that...

So we are skipping the village and going straight to the journey to Lively Town. Given the way the usual PSMD plot goes, it does lose a bit of luster for me now that there isn't an element of "sneaking off to go to the big city" and is just Ampharos taking Hiro there. Fortunately, it seems like...

I guess I read the first chapter of this at some point and then nothing else. I'm not sure if "go directly to Lively Town do not pass Serene Village do not collect $200" is this fic speedrunning the PSMD plot or just going off the rails immediately from the get go. If you want to do a bigger...

Three's a small chapter that appears to serve as Ember saying her goodbyes to her uncle. I have a feeling his stories and teachings will come in handy for at some point after she leaves, given the prominent focus it gets. (Also RIP her dad's got one heck of a whacky RPG name.) This is where the...

Chapter 83: Inner Daemon On the Third of the Original One's Children Despite my fervent investigations, I have failed to piece together the mystery of the so-called Renegade Pokémon. The legends surrounding it are few and far between. About the only conclusion I've reached is that it's a divine...

Blue shadows gang rise up

Chapter 82: Defendat Mundum Noctum somersaulted, dodging a Rock Blast, then returned fire at the Eternatus Gunner responsible. His Flamethrower destroyed the cockpit and the unown vanished in purple smoke. Another explosion rang out behind him. He looked over his shoulder. Through the smoke, he...

So, I wonder if the new prologue was written partly in response to Namo's earlier feedback. Adding in something to maybe grab readers' attentions and pull them in. The biggest takeaway is that it's a shady conversation with some shady characters. I think you could've been a biiiit more generous...

Speaking personally, I'm quite bummed with how far into January this blitz has been creeping. I think my personal participation speaks to that. It's just how my schedule works out with work. Entirely in January means I'm, at best, participating in one or two weeks tops. I thought it worked out...

I wonder if Newangle City is actually just a refurbished locale from the main line games. Or, like, all of this setting is actually some bizarro region. Perhaps Unova, given the focus on the Tao trio and Irune being a gen V dragon, too. Maybe this is Castelia City. Or since the ending blurb --...
