Blackjack Thanks, I'm glad the emotions come across well. I wanted to have some more normal characters for the protagonist to play off of, to underline what a strange and distressing situation this all is. It is! Something I'd definitely expect you to recognize. ;) The text on that card always...

Thanks, I'm glad you like the use of present tense here! It's been a lot of fun doing this project in what's an unusual tense for me, although now I tend to find myself falling back on it even when I don't mean to, heh. Thanks for stopping by!

Coming back for some review replies, finally! Thanks to everyone who stopped by, for Review Blitz and otherwise. I also appreciate the feedback I received during RB that some people are confused about wha's going on with this story--whether it's been discontinued (at least on the forums), why...

I have many more reviews to get to as well--I promise I haven't forgotten! I'm just trying to keep up with Dragonfree's so that I can avoid falling even further behind. My primary motivation in bumping the thread today was simply to announce that Salvage turned 10 on November 1st! It's hard to...

I want to thank everyone again for all the lovely reviews! I have quite a lot to respond to, and my pace is, admittedly, glacial. But I've read and enjoyed every single one. They've given me loads of ideas, and I'm incredibly grateful for all the attention this story's gotten. I will do my best...

@Experidenzel Thanks for the review! I think this is excellent for your first time reviewing something. It's always nice to hear what people pick up on in the story. I'm glad you liked the bit with the waterfall; it was definitely fun to write. We'll certainly learn more about what happened to...

Hrrrk, I really don't want to keep leaving people to review into the void. It's been way too long since I've done replies! So I'm going to start going through them now, a couple at a time, most recent first. I'm sorry I can take an unreasonably long time to reply to reviews--I always do read...

Thank you so much for your lovely comment (and all your chapter-by-chapter reviews that I haven't replied to yet, too!). I'm glad you enjoy the mix of light and dark! This story ended up coming out much more comedic than I'd initially expected, but I guess I just can't stay serious for all...

Author's Notes: A shorter chapter this time. Nice little breather before we sit down and really start to dig into some of the mysteries surrounding our protagonist. Chapter 10 "All I'm saying is, that battle? Fucking sucked." "I won. I do not see what your problem is." "Yeah, you won...

Author's Notes: Another meaty chapter here, and not because I smooshed anything together this time. It's just always been this long! I suppose I need to finally embrace that I'm destined to write 7k-10k chapters no matter how I try to keep it concise. Now, at least this one has an excuse for...

Author's Notes: Chapter eight is here! Way, way late on the upload; I've been super busy the past few days, and this chapter is both longer and needed more attention than the previous ones. Way back when, this was two chapters and included a trainer battle in the second half. I later decided the...

Author's Notes: I really need to get better about remembering to actually do these on Friday. (Or even before Friday and not last-minute, how novel!) In any case, from around this chapter it should be clear why I include strong language in the warnings for this story, heh. Chapter 7 The stars...

Author's Notes: This chapter is where the story really starts picking up. Hope you enjoy! Chapter 6 Nearly a month later, you are Grovyle and you are hiding, perched high above the ground and deep in obscuring leaves. Grovyle isn't the pokémon you're best at, although of course your version is...

Chapter 5 Only one light burns in the Kerrigan household tonight, up in the study at the rear of the second floor. You can't see into the room from here, but you can picture the scene well enough: Leonard hunched at a keyboard in the semidark, fingers flying, casting his incantations over the...

Chapter 4 Your friends rest exhausted in the pokéballs at your waist as you wander Cinnabar Island's hot, twisty streets, headed for the Pokémon Center. Not far away, perhaps, your water-bloated corpse rests at the bottom of Seafoam Caverns. That's not what's putting you on edge, though. Maybe...

Glad to see you back! I feel like I can't really say much about a fair amount of this because it's a lot of speculation about stuff that will naturally get cleared up naturally over the course of the next few chapters, for the most part. I'm glad you're enjoying trying to piece things together...

And now, for everyone's reading pleasure... the next chapter! Chapter 3 Today you are Jade Winstead, and you are no one. You have no family or friends, and your fingerprints are the fingerprints of a dead child. Your face is modeled on one of your favorite television stars, and people are...

Author's Notes: Here's chapter two! Hope you enjoy. Chapter 2 The first thing you do is stop home. A moment's concentration takes you from cold and dark to the warmth of your living room. Even the dim, leaf-edged light is too much for your eyes after the total darkness of the cave, and you...

Hello and welcome to Salvage, my big fic project of many years! In the aftermath of Mewtwo's escape from the Cinnabar lab, Mew was lost, and another creature was born. Neither human nor pokémon but wielding Mew's powers, it's vowed to find its mother and free her from imprisonment, no matter...
