Bwahaha I like how Rui just keeps talking and making small talk with this totally silent grumpy dude. Also, enjoy Wes actually pausing before telling her the names of his Pokémon because he doesn't want to give too much out. Realistically, I guess it's possible Snagem could theoretically catch...

Chapter 2 I enjoy this opening. It's characterization, but it's strong worldbuilding too: the idea that trading in a motorcycle for a Flying-type is even a thing for Odette to have never had the urge to do says a lot about the ubiquity of people traveling via Flying-type Pokémon. The fact she...

Chapter xv Oops I meant to cycle around to other fics first but then I accidentally started reading this one last night and then I read the whole thing. Some way or another I didn't actually make the connection to the abused Conkeldurr from the Bisharp chapter until the end - it's been a while...

Goosebumps at the opening scene here. Always love these mythological angles from different Pokémon, touching on the same clash between the dragons. Missing a space between these sentences. I'm not 100% sure if this is an intentional reference to the Pokémon theme song but either way it made me...

Chapter 45 time! In which Mark and May finally arrive at the site of the Ouen League, and we see Taylor again (remember him?). Chapter 45: The Ouen League HQ Mark sighed in relief as they finally exited Champion Cave for what was hopefully to be the last time. He shuddered as the sudden...

All right, chapter xiii finally! Hoping to do another tomorrow and then at least one more next week. Hmm. Bianca? Oh nooo, does Munny fight her nightmares in her place. What a tragic brave Pokémon. I'm guessing humans asking Pokémon their names is just not something they do, but Munny has...

Chapter 38 Slightly clunky repetition of 'air'. "City" twice here struck me a little too. I like this buildup a lot - we get a sense of the scope of what's going on and the anticipation of Shit Going Down. Think there's a word missing in "but the back of my mind". Something very Animorphs...

Back again, reviewing chapter 37! Only been like a year since my last actual review. I don't know, Jade, sounds like Ajia was in a pretty depressing place when chosen, too. Like, she sounds like she was totally lost and powerless. Couldn't say exactly how much trauma but I'm willing to bet it...

All right, I'm back for chapter one! I know sacrilege is a drug in this fic but "lethal amounts of sacrilege in his system" still sounds pretty hilarious :P No comma before when. But also, I thiiink you want to phrase this differently? I believe what you mean is she began to shake her head and...

Chapter 1 I enjoy this sentiment of darkness being a foreign concept. The phrasing of this feels a little contradictory. It says Amia is an exception to the population (presumably by not being a Fire-type), but also that she could deal with heat like any other Fire could, and the other implies...
