Chapter 22 – Mansion in the Mountains Alex woke to a pressure on his stomach. He could tell just from smell alone that he must be in some sort of hospital; the place absolutely reeked of antiseptics. He hesitated to open his eyes, afraid of what he’d see. He was alive, at least, and sensed no...

Now that you're (Tetra) all caught up, I'll sit down and do a proper review reply roundup. I think I'll start with Chapter 7 and pick out the important bits from there, since that's still from this year.

OKAY SO. Going to try to summarize this in a way that makes sense. Consider it an expanded version of the story Phobos and Deimos recount to the E4 in chapter 7. (It's basically the plot of Pedestal.)

Oh hey, thanks for your thoughts! So firstly I feel I should mention, I started this fic when I was in high school. Which was around 2007. So it's been in-progress for roughly 16 years. In addition to that, I tend to write slowly and post chapters once or twice a year at best. This explains a...

I'm glad you're enjoying it! I feel I should warn you, it does tone down a little bit over the next few chapters, so I hope it still manages to keep you entertained even with with the ghost stuff being regulated to the background. (One of the things I want to do when I re-write is make it more...

Chapter 21 – Homecoming “Surpriiiiise!” Back now at her home in Crescent, Kimiko waited in the doorway, expecting her sister to charge out and greet her. Instead, she got silence. Given recent events, Kimiko began to worry, but it’s not like her sister wasn’t allowed to leave the house, too...

Chapter 20 –Mind Games “Well, other than the problems you’ve already told me about, she appears to be healthy,” the nurse said as she delivered Kimiko’s three pokéballs. “If you need anything else, please do let me know!” she added cheerfully, then turned and headed back to her counter. Alex...

Chapter 19 – Recovery How can I get away from here without being suspicious? Kimiko thought as she watched Alex dig into his rather sizable stack of pancakes. The ordeal with the gym leaders had left her with a massive headache – as promised – as well as a severe case of both dizziness and...

Chapter 18 – Preparations “Whoa, relax, he’s not gonna hurt you!” the shorter girl with the neon green hair cried. The elgyem looked between his trainer and her sister, with a confused expression to match theirs. “Can I help you?” Alex asked again. The taller, redheaded woman replied...

Chapter 17 – Tooth and Scale For the first time that she could remember since leaving the lab, Thorn was unhappy. And not the “Trainer won’t call me by this name” unhappy; genuine “this sucks” unhappy. Sure, she had her fair share of unpleasant experiences so far, naming issues aside. Losing...

Chapter 16 – The Thief “Alright, let’s see now…” Lillia said, fiddling with her pokédex with one hand and holding her head with the other. While better, she still felt a little dizzy and had a headache. “I guess I’ll send you back for now,” she said, placing one of her pokéballs into the tray...

Chapter 15 – The Gym Race “Are you sure you’re ready for this?” Cory asked after breakfast, leading Alex and a still half-asleep Kimiko (carrying a plateful of bacon) to the back of the gym, where Alex was to be having his battle. Lillia, still feeling too hungover, opted to remain in the...

Chapter 14 – Psycho Alliance The journey into Neutron wasn’t terribly exciting. They made decent enough time, thanks to Thrasher, who had no difficulty carrying the two humans thanks to his experience hauling Ana’s electronics and cookware. That’s not to say the trip wasn’t without delays...

Chapter 13 – A Day on Route 503 As champion, Kirsten was used to getting less than average hours of sleep and being awake fairly early in the morning. Still, most nights previous were not spent trying to protect the lives of nearly her entire team, four other humans, plus all of their pokémon...

Chapter 12 – A Question of Loyalty “Am I ever going to get a full night’s rest again?” Kimiko groaned to herself, rubbing her tired eyes. The small party continued to follow Kirsten’s beedrill through the dark path of the forest well into the late night hours as he led them to whatever it was...

Chapter 11 – The Forest Again Alex stared at the door as it slammed, speechless. Kimiko’s reaction caught him completely off guard, though after a few seconds he realized he really should have expected it. She’s still falling apart, he thought. Really losing control. “Okay,” he called to her...

Chapter 10 – Chrome and Fairies As soon as Cyrus gave the order to begin, his skarmory dove down towards his foes, his metallic wings spread and poised to strike. Thorn and Koyomi were both ready for him though, each of them diving off to each side to avoid the steel wing attack, but Thorn had...

Gods I'm going to have to start posting more chapters if I'm going to be replying to all these sudden reviews, aren't I? Aw thank you! I'm glad I'm getting the romance right, at least here at the beginning. I know next to nothing about it personally. Alright, thanks for reviewing! Glad...

Oh my, Blue! I admit I'm surprised anyone's come to my fic at this point, given how little I update/discuss it. And I was admittedly a little worried, but after reading your thoughts, I'm very much more at ease! I'll try to reply to the things I think really need it or that I have something to...

Chapter 9 – Act Natural “Wait… so I can’t give my pokémon any instructions at all?” Alex asked. “That’s right,” Cyrus replied. “As I said, the goal here is to help develop trust. In addition, this type of battling is a good way to determine your pokémon’s preferred battle style.” “Yeah, just...
