    Pokémon The Long Road

    Chapter 18! Congratulations Pano! You've made me tear up twice now! I...honestly don't know what to say. I have so many feelings and emotions about this, but I don't know how to translate them into words. This chapter was a perfect ending to the fic. It fulfills the purpose of an epilogue...

    Pokémon The Long Road

    Chapter 17! Wow! Wow wow wow wow WOW! I'm literally giggling in glee right now. That was AWESOME! Was honestly not expecting Drake to be the champion, but it makes sense! And that battle was so cool! Rock and steel against the might of dragons! Every matchup was tense. Armaldo against...

    Chapter 16! WOW! I was not expecting a surreal horror chapter in the Elite Four battles, but wow, that was so cool! It was terrifying in the same way a rollercoaster is! It started off so normally, then got more and more twisted, and then everything started going crazy and AJAQJOJJAJAU THIS...

    Chapter 15! I might actually finish reading today! Another really neat chapter! I wonder if Luna is going to be relevant at all later? Nonetheless, these were some really cool battles! I was wondering what you were going to do with the Elite Four, since Sidney obviously isn't one yet, and...

    Chapter 14! This chapter has the honor of being the first chapter of this fic that I actually teared up at! Just...Steven revisiting all the locations he's been to across his journey? That's one of my favorite tropes, and it was so cool to see it here! And he and his team were all so happy and...

    Pokémon The Long Road

    Chapter 13! Looking back, I'm realizing that about a good 85% or so of this 10k chapter was battle. This is surprising to me, because I LOVED this chapter. Admittedly, I bounced off a bit off of some previous fight scenes, particularly part of the Mossdeep gym battle one, but this one, well...

    Chapter 12! I really like how this ones open, in the thick of the action! Steven's hiding from an angry Skarmony, and we're left wondering what he did to anger it. And then the next scene is a small flashback, showing exactly that. And oh boy, did he anger it. It didn't stop chasing him, even...

    Chapter 11! WOW! First off, the gym battle was really creative and cool! Using psychic powers to redirect attacks is an awesome concept! And I honestly thought Steven was going to lose at first, before he turned it around by using Confusion to redirect an attack! And then there's Garrett...

    Chapter 10! We're starting off with an injured Steven! And he immediately wants to disregard the doctor's orders. Oh boy. And Steven was only barely able to make it to the Pokemon Center. I'm guessing this is after the chapter where he met Aron? It seems like it takes place there in the...

    Chapter 9! Do I even need to say it's good at this point? It feels like it's just a given that every chapter of this is going to be amazing. Wallace! He's back! He's pretty prickly, but he's here! Love the banter between him and Steven. They're both such dorks. The baby Spheal is so adorable...

    Chapter 8, here we go! This was another really fun chapter! Steven decides to go off-route, which from what I've heard Tetra talking about, seems like a very bad idea, but it honestly turned out a lot better than I was expecting! No encounters with hostile wild Pokemon at all! Though that's...

    Pokémon The Long Road

    Chapter 7! That was such a fun chapter! First off, Victory Road! As I've said before, the only Victory Road I've ever experienced was the one in Violet, so this was really cool! Didn't expect it to be a bunch of caves, but I guess that's really fitting for Steven! And then Steven is subjected...

    Chapter 6! WOW that was a cool chapter! I absolutely love how it was formatted! Jumping back and forth in time, between before the accident and after the accident! That was so cool! It actually sorta reminds me a bit of that thing you said about PMD fics, about how they jump perspectives along...

    Chapter 5! Forgot to do liveblog thoughts again. WALLACE! After all his interactions with Gen in Adventure Quest, it's so nice to see him here, even if a different version of him! Though Victoria is here? Nonetheless, seems like he's far better off with Juan than with Megalos. Oh boy, Steven...

    Here for chapter 4! Huh, forgot that Hoenn has a desert! ...though given the existence of Flygon, that makes a lot of sense. Very intrigued by the ever-changing part! I wonder what changed between this chapter and chapter 1 for Aron to start being comfortable in a pokeball? And I'm curious...

    Now for chapter 3! Oh boy, all the way to Steven's last badge! The meeting sounds delightfully boring! I could really feel Steven's impatience, exasperation, and boredom! I also really like that Joseph can tell that Steven doesn't really want to do Devon stuff, and respects his wishes! I...

    Back for chapter 2! Honestly was so engrossed in this chapter that I completely forgot to write my usual liveblog-style thoughts! I loved how quickly Steven and Beldum became friends! It was so adorable! And I really liked the battle with Roxanne, it was cool even with Beldum knowing a single...

    Hello! Here for our review exchange! I've heard so many good things about this fic, and Tetra told me I'd love it, so I'm really excited to finally read it! Oooh, non-chronological order! Cool! Route 120! Aaaa! This is where Coleane started her trainer journey, and it's really neat to see it...
