abuseThat was an EXCELLENT story. One of the best I say. So romanic, so much adventure and so funny. You descrbe things so well that I was shock, the battles, the cave, the waterfall and the charactors. The ending was so sweet I almost cried. But the part about Branden kind of ruin the happiness. I'm not a hoennshipper but it was really sad to read that he is dead. Other than that, it was great. You can check out my proflie if you want, but I dont have any stories, yet.

Keep on writing and reviewing!

abuseOuch, I was hoping Sableye's master wouldn't be Brendan. Anyway, Absol-utely brilliant! Gorgeous piece of work! I loved everything: the beautifully descriptive style (amazing job with the colours), the perfect characterization, the clever transitions between the parties we were following, Ash and Misty's relationship (pure, naive and true to the show if not for the definitive step they'll never take; in fanfiction they're too often given a maturity that they clearly don't have). The piece where Ash realizes his feelings for Misty is gold.

I got all the titles coming from 2BA Master 'cause I knew that CD by heart when I was a kid... and still do apparently. I went to check out the Christmas Bash one that you said was your favourite, and I love it! Especially Under the Mistletoe. Had a blast listening to it, all thanks to you!

Once again, Absol-utely brilliant! Cheers!

abuseOh, wow! This was an absolute masterpiece! I loved the cuteness between Ash and Misty all throughout! And I loved the reference to the Lavender Town episode; brought back so many memories!
You wrote Team Rocket, May, and Max very well, too!
Oh, and Brock! Your characterization of Brock was beyond perfect! I love how Brock was so concerned for his friends through the whole story! That is so like him! And I love that he still has Vulpix!
I adored the ending!
Exquisite work!

abuseThis is totally the BEST Pokemon fanfic I've ever read! I read it once about a year and a half ago, and I just had to read it again! Awesome job XD

abuseI recently rediscovered Pokémon as a central figure of my childhood and have been scanning through stories on this fandom as a result. Now, it’s been over a year since you finished this story and over three since you started it, so I imagine that any specific editorial criticism I could offer would be useless: you’ve doubtlessly become an even better writer since completing this work.

So I’m not going to give too much in-depth critique. There were a few comma problems, a few incorrect words (loose v. lose), but above all else there was a fantastic story. Max and May were never characters I got to know myself, but I thoroughly enjoyed your portrayal of the Beech siblings. Brock, Ash, and Misty were particularly well done.

I’m dropping you this review basically to say “thank you.” You’re a gifted storyteller and inventive author. I wouldn’t feel right enjoying “Cavern of a Million Colors” so much and then not saying anything. So thank you so much – for being a great author, for sharing a fantastic story.

Specific critique I won’t go into.

Specific praise is something I have no problem with at this point, especially with so many images or thoughts battling for attention on the subject.

“Whispering silence” is a bizarre thought. It's contradictory, a turn of phrase not usually heard, and an absolute delight. English nerd that I am, I fawned over that description the first time I read it. Amazing work.

The poem… the poem was something that stuck in my head as rather catchy. I reread it a number of times just for fun, then I tried to remember which chapter it appeared in so I could read it again and quote it to myself. (^-^) There were stanzas that weren’t as strong as others, but it was an enjoyable poem, albeit dark.

There were other small things that tickled me. Characters are a personal favorite of mine in books and movies. Character interaction then, by default, is priceless when done well. Ash and Misty falling in love has been written so often, but “Cavern of a Million Colors” is, I swear, the only fanfiction I’ve read to date that has both characters IN CHARACTER where Ash figures out his emotions for Misty on his own. That was quite a feat.

You’re wicked sense of humor, your flair for striking detail, your ability to set things up, and your thoughtfulness all combined to make this novel of yours a fantastic experience. I just didn’t feel right loving this story so much and saying nothing, regardless of the sizable time gap between completion and review.

This was a treat, but here I'm going into understatement to avoid looking like a rapid fan. So I'll try again: this was EXCEPTIONAL!

Good luck, happy writing, and one last “thank you,”

That's all I can think of. I mean, this is one of the best fan fics I have EVER read. Seriously, it's like the second best one. I LOVE how you spread out the time it took for Ash and Misty to get together. Those fics where the author just has them instantly spout their undying love to each other is gratifying in some sense, but your way is TONS better. I mean, that could be like a real episode. Ash really WOULD have to think about how much he likes Misty, and it was a totally Ash thing to do not to get it until the very end when he had nothing else to think about! It was just so, so, realistic!! *Sigh* I hope my fics are just as good as yours!

abuseDAMN...
Every so often, you come across a fanfic of such scale that you're amazed it isn't an official story in that fandom- or, in the case of crossovers of this scale, that it hasn't been done before now.
This, my friend, is DEFINITELY one of those stories.
I mean, DAMN... if the offical Pokemon writers actually did this story, it would definitely HAVE to be a movie; they just wouldn't be able to do the cavern justice in an episode of the cartoon!
And as for Ash's confession of his feelings for Misty...
As Misty said when it happened, it was a very 'Ash-y' style of admitting he was in love with her, and it was all the more effective because of that.
Plus, of course, the plot you created to bring about the confession wins points all on its own, not least because it serves as a kind of 'sequel' to one of my favourite early episodes; I always had a certain fondness for 'The Tower of Terror', even if I didn't get the chance to see it that often.
Quite frankly, I'm almost disappointed the potential implications of MISTY being the only person able to hear Ash when he was a ghost in that episode never occurred to somebody beforehand; your explanation for that part of the story really makes sense.
And as for the battle scene against Haunter...
You could EASILY picture the Pokemon attacking that psychopathic Ghost as you read the story before you; congratulations on that front (Too many people either skip the battles or don't do them right; it's always good to meet somebody who recognises the importance of a well-written Pokemon battle in a story like this).
Also, your explanation for Misty's presence in the group, while not as detailed as I might have liked (You never specifically have her say what she was doing all the way over in Hoenn in the first place) was, once again, presented in a very Misty-like manner; she saves Ash's life, stops Team Rocket taking Pikachu, and STILL has the energy to yell at him for being such an idiot as to trash her bike.
And, last but by no means least, you capture something that's nearly impossible to do right in a fanfic; Team Rocket's 'breaking the fourth wall' references (Admittedly, I found Meowth's specific chapter references a bit excessive, but then again Team Rocket always does stuff like that in the show, so your track record for the scale of this story remains fine).
Overall, I just had two minor problems with this story;
1. What the Hell is VULPIX doing on Brock's team; I thought he gave it back to Susie while they were in Johto?
2. If Ash decided to bring Noctowl and Bayleef onto his team, given that he still had a space in his party, why didn't he include Cyndaquil so he had a well-rounded squard?
Still, as I said, that was my only real problem with this story; inexplicable presence of (Or unfortunate lack of) Fire-types aside, a truly EXCEPTIONAL piece of work you have here, my friend.
Keep up the good work!
(Oh, and any chance you could send me the web address for the site with the extra information on this series; I DEFINITELY wouldn't mind seeing what you were thinking of doing for the next bits...)

abuseHehehe, you said this is your first chapter fic? Well I got GREAT news! This fic, was THE first Pokemon fic I've ever read! Seriously, it is! And I could not believe my eyes when I read how great it was in other forums and threads and communities XD

Also, here's another irony: When I read this fic, it was also BEFORE Misty came back to the show, no seriously! Well about a few weeks before she came back but really, talk about irony! XD

Let's see, I love this fic, you portrayed the characters amazingly, I could learn some tips about description from you ^^; and...gosh, that's it actually? ^^; I had so much to say but forgot it all over the course of time. I read this fic first during my sophomore year, the title will always stay in my mind. ^^

abuseHello! I'm Indira. I just couldn't get enough of your story. My computer had a crash and when I got it fixed, I saw that your story had been deleted from my files. I searched throughout and finally found it using my Google search. I am saving up your story on my PC so that I can re-read it. This story is truly your masterpiece. It is truly a Romance/Adventure story. I know that it has been three years since you wrote this story and you probably don't check it for reviews anymore, but please answer one question - Is Brendan Birch Sableye's trainer?
I have asked this question before but you did not send me a reply. Now that I'm sending you a signed review, please answer my question. The way you described the ice cavern actually made me feel that I was there watching thw whole thing instead of reading about it. I could actually visualize what was going on. Your novel is the best AshxMisty story that I've ever read. The part where Max kept saying "WHAT?" was just hilarious! Team Rocket was very much in character and I liked the fact that you did not portray them as heartless. You showed that even they have a heart and thsi is very true as I myself have seen some small instances in the show where Team Rocket actually support what is goodeven though they are bad.Jessey and James were in character and it is very nice that you've added a little JesseyxJames touch to your novel. That part when one hour had passed,I thought that they had died for sure. It really kept me in suspense! This story must be published in book form someday. Please make sure of that and I'll make sure that I'm your first customer! I don't know how anyone can write a romance story as long as this and still not use any slangs or excessive acts, but you pulled it off. You proved that an author can make a story interesting without using adult stuff. Your story was all about innocent love and that is what makes it so unique. Poor May, she'll never find Brendan Birch. I really loved the part where Brock's all upset and Max is the one that gives him advice this time. Your theme 'One in a Million' is what I'd call
'awe-spiring'. Your story has everything it need to be a novel. I can only say that I LOVE it! I am currently reading some other fanfics of yours. They are great but they can't in anyway compete with this one. This story is truly a masterpiece and I will treasure this story forever. It will forever be embedded in the depths of my heart and you have earned this reader's heartfelt support. I will be rooting for you!

abuseHi! My name is Indira Rahman. I am from Bangladesh, Southeast Asia. I was really impressed by your vocabulary and your storyline was great too. Also, I liked the fact that you took the title of your chapters from those great pokemon songs. i have a question that I am requesting you to answer. The question is : Is Brendan Birch Sableye's trainer? If so, please send me your answer
Please keep writing more pokestories like 'Cavern of A Million Colors' and I am sure that the chances of that is not one in a million. Please know that I will be eagerly waiting for your next story. Keep writing more of these fanfics and I will be cheering for you all the way.
