Kanto, Johto and Hoenn are based on real areas in Japan. I know that Kanto and Johto are provinces in Japan, while Hoenn is based off of some island off of the coast.

How can those morons mistake Rover for a POOCHYENA of all things. Poochyena's, including their evolved forms, are GRAY and black, not completely black like Rover is, not to mention SHORT. Even Geki should know something like that if his uncles a researcher.

These kids are starting to forget what NORMAL non superpowerful animals look like aren't they? Rover's going to get killed if Amari goes through with the challenge.

Hehe...what a good idea! I can't wait for the next chapter.

love the story LOVE the name

Wow this is really a nice idea! Well technically ordinary animals should be able to do some of what Pokemon can do, like Bite and Howl. Quite a fun story too.

Hmm.. wonder why Rover behaves strangely when seeing a Pokemon?

Heheh, I am loving this story. ^-^ And Rover did so well in the battle! Perhaps there is some poochy blood in him. Either way, taking him to the lab should prove interesting. xD

great fic please update soon

YAY FOR ROVER!

^_^

great chapter! cant wait til the next one!

hey nice story, i'd also like to see longer chapters, as the story would progress, you would lose many new readers as the number of chapters can sometimes be intimidating. It would be a good idea to merge a few chapters together. again, great story and dont give up!

Wow, great story!

I can't wait to see how to this turns out. I wonder if Rover is actually a Poochyena or at least part, considering what happened during their training session. Keep up the good work. I'm going to read it again to see if I can find more clues. ^_~

hehe...i love it... a dog that's gonna be a 'pokemon'...
Very original!

I hope rover wins! ^_^

hey, I know you want reviews, so here's one! I actually like the awkward situation of your story and the bits of humour are a nice touch. I would like to see longer chapters though, if at all possible. I would rather wait longer for the next chapter than to see a short one released more often. Good work!
