This is quite good! And to think it was made in 2004 :D

Dear Spirited Aura,

And they say Pokemon is a happy little nothing series. Pifflepuffs that put a whole new spin on that theory. A good story and it teaches a good lesson. And the moral is... "Pride comes before the fall"

Stay Safe

Stay Healthy

Yours Sincerely

Nice job! I thought the battle seemed awfully short though, I mean, the dude got trampled! Although Vileplume is also a dark type I believe, so it could've fared a little better against the Alakazam.

Then again what the hell's he doing going to the Pokémon League with only four Pokémon in his team. -_-'

I liked how it kept tight to the games. The angst was well done too. Short and sour, pretty cool.

Woah, harsh...but I liked it, it was a good, relatively short one-shot, and it served its purpose. Keep writing things like this, you know, with the angst and everything. You're good at them. _

Gah, what a painful loss...

I liked how you handled this short story. It was lacking in size, but it got to the point. Best wishes.
