    Pokémon Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Instruments of Creation

    17. Access At long last, the moment of truth. You make a bold move in this chapter, after all that laborious and careful prep, to have everything . . . go right! I found Mewtwo's speculations on Creepy Tunnel really interesting. It's clear now that either humans visited the PMD world or that...

    Pokémon Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Instruments of Creation

    16. Astronomy Lesson The Growlithe/Arcanine conflict continues to be an uneasy one. Arcanine can't resolve it in the way that's easiest for him--physical action. And while Growlithe is not entirely unjustified in her fears, they're also not wholly based in rationality. It does show that the...

    15. Astronomy Well, it's been more than a few months, but I'm back, and hoping to catch up with this fic by end of blitz. Hoping there will be some new chapters out soon as well! Quite a lot of revelations in this one. I like the way the exposition has been coming together and the relationship...

    14. The Stranger * Reads title * Gee, I wonder who that could possible be? :wink: Feels like things are really getting underway with Mewtwo making an appearance. He's being very mysterious--I guess that's his perogative as a trench-coat psychic type, and I like that Zorua is not here for it...

    13. Return to Creepy Tunnel Progress is being made, though no breakthrough yet. I like the emphasis being placed on collaborative problem-solving and non-violent resolution. Arcanine's spoiling for a fight with Bayleef, but it ends up not being necessary, because he and Zorua have gotten the...

    Pokémon Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Instruments of Creation

    12. Three in Pokemon Square This chapter felt a little logistical and transitional. There's a lot of moving from place to place and reexplaining things. Arcanine's flashbacks here seemed a bit disconnected with the rest of the chapter, since we don't spend most of this chapter with him, and the...

    11. Captive This chapter hit hard. Arcanine's not able to run here, and that makes it a perfect time to really dig into his backstory and past. You paint a thorough portrait of his life on Mewtwo's island--I can see the family he's yearning for, and why he so easily opened his heart to Zorua...

    Pokémon Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Instruments of Creation

    Oh boy, I was planning to stick to my slow and steady two chapter at a time diet, but our main trio are being drawn together and things are heating up. I read chapters 7-10. Here are some thoughts. The world. I'm really enjoying how much you've embraced your setting--this world isn't advanced...

    5. Trouble in Meadow Town & 6. Mine Rescue I'll talk about these two together, since this was a bit of a two-parter. So, the other shoe drops in Meadow Town, and Arcanine has to make a choice. I liked his hesitance, as well as his ultimate realization that he made his choice back in chapter...

    Back for more! 3. Partners Arcanine and Zorua continue to be an adorable pair. This chapter had a bit of a training-montage feel, but I enjoyed their moments of affection and Arcanine's musings. One thing I'm particularly liking is the way they already seem to be exerting a good influence on...

    Pokémon Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Instruments of Creation

    Hey! Here at love's recommendation. I really enjoyed these two opening chapters and will definitely be back for more. 1. A Chance Meeting The opening with Arcanine had a slow, leisurely feel to it that I appreciated. I got a strong sense of Arcanine's solitude, his routine, and the troubles...
