Time to talk about chapters 5&6 mainly, and a little bit of 4! The plot in the beginning is very fast paced for starters, but honestly I like it. The fact that so many weird mysteries emerge in the first 2-3 chapters means I think I'd find it annoying to wait for a unch of chapters just to...

"Yeah, well good luck with that," he said with grin. He stood up and stretched. He'd hoped to get insight about the new forms everyone seemed to have but it seemed he wasn't much closer. Still, the conversation had been a pleasant distraction. "I'll see you around, Saltriv."

"Maybe he just doesn't remember being human," Koa said with a shrug. "But yeah, I guess as long as you have a strong connection with someone you can find them there, so you should be good. Family or good friends." That's what Buffet had said, at least. He briefly wondered about how much Blake...

Woke up in a strange place with no memories... "Huh, that kinda sounds like what happens with humans, doesn't it? Maybe he's like the Omen heroes here on Cibus," Koa mused out loud. He paused. Icetales had been able to visit his family. And Dave had tried to talk to Soda, if he wasn't mistaken...

"That's rough," he murmured with a frown. He was glad he never had to think much to use moves. Saltriv seemed kind of down about their friend too. Not that he blamed her. He missed his team a lot, although knowing he'd get to see them again helped. "Were you and Gen close?" he asked.

"Huh, interesting. Does it ever get hard to use certain moves if you're feeling like... upset or something?" It was hard to imagine having to use his moves like that. He already had a hard enough time with other things, much less worrying about tapping into emotions. Although... how did he use...

How strange, Koa mused to himself. Yet fascinating too. "So what's electric-type? And do you have to feel that emotion every time you want to use a move, or does it become subconscious after awhile?"

Koa sighed a little. he was no expert but he had picked up scraps from his talks with Professor Rowan, and he wasn't sure moves worked like that, at least on his world. "So you use moves in your world by focusing on emotions?" he asked curiously. That was one he'd never heard before.

Koa watched as Saltrivs body changed and transformed, an odd mix of awe and envy tugging at him. How? What am I missing? Stifling a growl he instead offered a grin. "That's sick!" It was true. The flame on the tale, the shell on the chest... It was odd, discordant even, yet cool. "Is there...

Koa took a moment to ponder their question. "Well obviously a lot of wild pokemon love to battle for sport. They'll challenge trainers and sometimes trainers catch them and they travel together. And other wild Pokemon just do whatever they want. Play or explore or eat. Depends on the mon," he...

"I mean it's not exclusive to humans. It's more like... I don't know. A majority of Pokemon aren't into that. I guess a few are, and they like to help humans with stuff but its just not interesting for them." It was hard to picture Rascal or Echo or even Scrapper wanting to build a house or work...

Koa stared at them and managed a nod. So many words... he vaguely found himself reminded of talking to Professor Rowan. Still, the gist was clear enough to him. "That's kinda neat. Pokemon back home are really different. They aren't interested in the stuff Pokemon here seem to be, like all...

Koa laughed a little. "Wow that's impressive." The notion of humans being regarded as powerful and heroic was still odd. Wasn't Brisa like that too though? He wondered what made them like that. "The human world is cool, I guess. I mean, here seems cooler to me but I maybe that's because I'm...

"Reminds me of home too actually," Koa replied. "I lived in this place called Canalave City, and it was right on the ocean." He glanced at her curiously. "You're from a world like this, right? Just Pokemon, no humans?"

"Er, just Koamaru is fine," he replied. He gave a nod of acknowledge and sat down nearby. He vaguely remembered her form had looked like she had a flaming tail and some sort of shell. Everyone's seemed to vary wildly so far. So what caused it? And how could he figure out his. If he even had...

Koa made his way towards the beach. The day was clear and he had some free time. He'd never been to any of the beaches here yet, and he figured checking one out would be a good way to relax. Not to mention beaches always reminded him of home, in a good way. And perhaps he could practice more. It...

So I'm nearly caught up but I'm going back to review, starting with chapter 4. Obviously this is one of my favorites. It hits a lot of my buttons. Wild pokemon interactions, mystery, discovery, crisis evolutions! and new team members. I love the way these moments make the pokemon world feel so...
