I’m reviewing the first chapter of this fic for our review exchange! (I will be reading more of it soon, don’t worry.)

We start with a first person pov, belonging to a scientist named Cassandra. While I’m more familiar with third person pov due to it being more common in fics, I do like first person a lot as well.

Cassandra receives a message from her rival Antoine, warning her of the dangers that can be associated with artificial pokemon. I completely understand Antoine’s worries, especially considering the mention of the Aether Foundation.

She then receives another message, this time from a sender called Neo-A-Life. It seems we know what the fic’s title means now, neat! The message tells about the possibility of creating her own Porygon. Considering the mention of Celadon City, I have a suspicion that Emily may be a member of Team Rocket. My suspicion is this way because of the members of Team Rocket residing in Celadon City’s game corner in the games.

We then meet Cassandra’s partner pokemon, Magnezone! Magnezone is introduced pretty well, I enjoyed the descriptions of his mechanical body.

Cassandra then arrives at the Celadon Department Store. This makes me believe that Cassandra’s home seems to be somewhere in the Kanto region, possibly in Saffron City as it is located close to Celadon City.

Overall, I liked this chapter! It gives the reader interest to read more of the fic. I also enjoyed how we get to see Cassandra’s motivations to create her own Porygon.
