To this day this still remains my favorite fanfic. Remembered reading this on the homepage and admired the art for each chapter. Amazing. Think I will re read soon.

re-reading this fanfic brings me such joy and emotion! Gosh! I miss the old days of Pokemon!

Hey, you gotta post up the last chapter for the rest of the people, yo :P

TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CRYING OUT FOR THE LAST CHAPTER OF THIS AWESOME FANFICITON. YOU CAN FIND CHAPTER 13 IN HIS HOMEPAGE(?) http:/members.iinet.net.au/aceywacey/pindex.htm

Excellent re-imagining of the story and quite possibly the first of this 'Dark' genre. What is really impressive is the attention to detail with characters and the amount of research required to seamlessly sew them in to the story. Another impressive less mentioned aspect is that the story begins in Pallet Town and as it progresses to each new location it echoes the exact routes players take leading up to the Elite Four in the original Pokemon games (Kanto Region).

I remember reading this story on Ace's original site while it was in progress around chapter 7 or 8. No matter how many years have passed since finding this story I can't help but going back to read it again, it's just that good.

Wonderful creative writing talent, as I have mentioned in my review of Chapter 1. The errors I want to point out are also in my review of Chapter 1. Keep up the great work! :)

Hello!

Clearly, you're a fantastic writer. Action sequences are tough to write, and you have done that so well. Your imagery is your strong suit, from what I have established in this first chapter of writing. How you describe surrounding, senses and action sequences are so well chained together, that it feels like I'm the fly on the wall.

That being said, I will be honest and proffer advice. While I have no issue with your narrative descriptive abilities, I find that your work is riddled with grammatical and punctuational errors- however, errors that Microsoft Word won't be able to pick up. This is present even in rudimentary rules of English, such as proper nouns needing to be capitalised.

Additionally, I may be too quick to judge, but the chapter has SOME traits of a "Sue" trainer- possession of a lone Pokemon that knows impressive, made-up moves (even dual-type moves, which don't exist) and of a different colour; not even found in its "shiny" forms.

I struggle to view Ash as somebody who would become that "serious," even if he were the Pokemon Master. However, again, I may be judging too harshly too quickly, and find later on that these characteristic nuances resolve themselves.

Finally, the chapters are WAY too long. Of course, the correctness of chapter length is entirely a matter of opinion, but I found myself tempted to skim through; however entranced I was by the story.

Just by reading the first chapter, I can tell that this story will be a far-cry from the shit that's out there; both in and out of the Pokemon fandom. The last Pokemon stories I have read are all parodies, as I have grown tired of constantly being confronted with so much bullshit.

Good luck!

WHAT? I'VE READ THROUGH THIS WALL OF TEXT (an incredibly well detailed, masterfully writen wall of text) TO MEET WITH A CLIFFHANGER? GAH! Next chapter please, I have to see how this will end!

Holy crap, what a story! Its dark, but so good. Can't wait to see what comes next!

Gotta admit. Probably the best fan fic I've ever read! The chapters are nice and long too. Usually on other fics, they're like 1,0 or so words. I couldn'd put this story down. From reading it at night, I got my DSi confiscated about 5 times! :L Your also the first Author I've added as a Fav! Anyway, a really good fic. Just hurry up with the next Chap! :D

Electric type attacks are always effective against rock types. The text at the end of the chapter should probably be changed to "effective against ground", unless you meant it to mean that the thunder shatter was ESPECIALLY effective against rock types. Then you may want to write "Especially effective against rock". If you just write "effective against rock", someone who has never played one of the games may assume that normal electric attacks have no effect on rock types. Just saying. Thanks.

I've reported them to FF for abuse and so have some other people, but this loser is copying your fic word for word, and a lot of other ones.
