Thanks for the review! I'll see what I can do about the viewpoint changes and I'll fix the typos. Contests were a single Pokemon, but I do write contests with two Pokemon too. You might be thinking of the anime's Contest battles, though. I think in Hoenn, many were double. Idk about Sinnoh.

Thanks for the review! Yeah I gotta town down the references a bit lmao. So easy to get carried away, it happens even when I’m aware that I have to be careful. Probably because I never get to talk about history and art beyond these references/my writing. I do occasionally use art/history to...

Chapter 16: Treasured Companions An ocean of people and Pokémon flood the exterior of a four-story contest hall, one that loosely resembles Parfum Palace due to the giant columns. Fittingly, it is named Palace Hall. The towering skyscrapers in downtown interlock with the sky, watching over the...

Chapter 15: This Is How We Floof It Valen didn't waste any time after his presentation of Titian's Ceasefire a couple of days ago—his laptop's playing footage of contest he entered the day after. He's watch the footage with Melanie, who's casually resting her arm around his neck. Apparently...

Chapter 14: Valen's Drive Water scurries out of the faucet onto the bathroom sink, followed by the sound of splashing. Now that he's washed his face, it's time to finish getting dressed. He's already got on a casual dress shirt. It's black, as per usual. Valen hums with his Gengar and Luxray...

Chapter 13: Can't Keep Hilda Down! Outside of the Gothic Revival neighborhood that Valen, Rosa, and Hilda reside in, there's giant stretch of road that looks more like the countryside. A spacious, grassy battlefield occupies the location, surrounded by vibrant parks and winding dirt trails. The...

Chapter 12: Loveth Thee, Sweet Ladies Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock. That antique clock is the most prominent noise in the master bedroom. The domestic tranquility would normally be pleasant for Valen, even though the rays of sunshine aren't present. Alas, working on the...

Chapter 8: You've Got a Friend in Me Rummaging rummaging rummaging…he's found it! He knew it was in the master bedroom's closest! Luxray carefully places an old, thick photo album on the blanket he brought along. Years ago, Valen used this blanket to cover a baby Shinx whenever said kitten...

Thank you for your comment, and I'm glad that you think I've improved! I'll try to take your crit into account to the best of my ability! Yeah, I still find myself having to cut down or move descriptions around. :oops: Maybe the transitioning need to be smoothened out too. The Kalosian...
