    Pokémon Of Sand and Shadows

    The only "April Fools" here is you trying to convince us that this chapter isn't 100% canon.

    Pokémon Of Sand and Shadows

    Hello, I am back. * friendly fire sounds * You must have been giggling at my last review. 'Oh hellowyellow, it sure would be cool to get some Neo/Novo POV on the shadow pokemon.' 'Why yes, indeed it would.' Maku POV was so good, and hurt my heart. I really liked the way you drew out how any...

    Pokémon Of Sand and Shadows

    Yet being the operative word . . . 12. Belonging Hm, I can't think of what that chapter title refers to. Anyway--more of Wes settling in, or rather, not settling in. Lots of people being happy around him while he is not. This chapter felt a little like a retread of the last one to me. I wonder...

    Pokémon Of Sand and Shadows

    Why, what fine chapters 10 and 11 you have here. A shame if someone were to come along and . . . review them. Wes settling into the mayor's house walked an interesting line between light fish-out-of-water comedy and a more bitter 'wow, this dude has a private decorative waterfall in a desert...

    Pokémon Of Sand and Shadows

    Racing through Of Sand and Shadows like Wes on his motorcycle! I think I'll discuss chapters 8 and 9 together, since it's really more of a two-parter with a cliffie in the middle. You're playing a nice game of stick and carrot with Wes. The carrot--being a good person, not letting Rui down...

    Pokémon Of Sand and Shadows

    Me again, back for more! 6. Lockdown Lot of action in this one! The battle sequence flowed smoothly, which is to say, it was appropriately chaotic! One detail that really stood out to me was that Wes targets the pokemon Rui has told him are normal first. It's a good tactical move, but it's...

    Pokémon Of Sand and Shadows

    Chapters 4 and 5 -- the plot begins to thicken. Chapter 4 was a lot of fun. Even though we're retreading over the same location as before, it was really telling to get it all again through Rui's eyes--a nice shorthand to contrast her with Wes by what they notice. I was not expecting Neo and...

    Pokémon Of Sand and Shadows

    Back for chapters 2 and 3, in which Wes' attempts to forsake Orre for Johto go swimmingly. I continue to enjoy Wes as our narrator. His own experiences and cynicism let him bounce amusingly off of his surroundings and off a peppy, sheltered character like Rui. Wes, Neo, and Novo also continue...

    Pokémon Of Sand and Shadows

    Hi HellowYellow! I've heard some good things about this fic, so I'm excited to jump in. I've never played the Orre -- pretty much everything I know about the region comes from a few scattered fics. (If you're interested in checking out more Orre fics on TR, can I recommend @kintsugi's handfuls...
