Jeez, where to begin...
I'm writing this to apologise for my rather annoying review I left prior. Sure, everything I said was true, but I was emmensely excited and succeeded in sounding like a ten-year-old jacked up on mountain dew. (I'm not ten)
Anyway, I even went on about that one guy's Staryu. What was I talking about? It's not even a Staryu!
I'm writing this so that next time I decide to leave a message about your stories, I won't be remembered as the 'freak-out fan', or anything.
So, there ya have it: I embarrassed myself with my other review and now I feel better.

I'm very glad that you decided to continue the storey because I think that you write extremely well and you know how to get to the point, unlike myself. (I once wrote a fanfiction that dawdled along for twenty-three chapters until I got my act together!)

Anyway, kudos for your many reviews and fans, I hope to see more of your stories around

i reads the original story and continued on with this one.

i'm intrigued by the new characters you've introduced, but i'm wondering where Adam and Jason's relationship comes from.

a suggestion would be to explain the backstory between these two.

the atlantis league idea is mysterious and has just enough corporate-control intrigue to be very interesting.
the last pokemon game i played was Crystal, so i'm possibly missing this league introduced in a later game, but if i'm not i salute you on creating the idea

Are you going to write about Sinnoh Pokemon too? Buisel would be a neat one to have.

Hello there :)


Good to see that you have decided to continue this story! I liked the first one, and this one is also looking to be quite a treat :D

Hope to see an update soon - your writing is of impeccable quality, and the storyline itself is interesting.


Till next time,

Looks like the Porygon in box 411 is being moved to box 404.

Man, I read Against All Odds, like, ten times! Beautifully written! You are not just an author, you're an artist!

And when I figured out that you had a sequel to it, I couldn't catch my breath; I couldn't believe it. I read the first two chapters posted, and I gotta say, it sounds like it's gonna be as good as its prequel. If not better! I can't wait to read and find out what happens to the boy with the Staryu, and how his destiny becomes intertwined with Jason's and Kelly's.

I also noticed that you haven't updated it since, like, two years ago! PLEASE DON'T DISCONTINUE IT!! I BEG YOU FOR ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THIS TRAGIC, BORING WORLD OF OURS!

It'll be like getting so into a new TV series - so engrossed in the show that you obsess over it and watch the same season over and over to a point where you can recall what happened in each episode like some Star Trek nerd, and then once the new season comes out, having them cancel the show after two episodes!

I am at the point of ripping out my hair wondering if the blind Pokemon trainer will be as good as Jason once proved to the world. Forget other authors that might critisize your work (inconceivable, in my opinion), please, if only for this reason, continue your awesome work for all those who LOVE your stories on Jason Creight!

It would be incredibly disappointing and saddening for you to discontinue Double the Odds; I can't find another story that measures up, and to never know what becomes of the guy with the Staryu, I would sulk into a spiralling depression that would no doubt throw me into some kind of horrific coma that would encase me in my "Double the Odds what-ifs" for the rest of my life! How would you sleep at night?? (I understand that I may have emmensely over-dramatized this review, but I just would really like to see what happens next :) )

ps: !!PLEASE!! DON'T DISCONTINUE IT!

A fellow author and super-fan, IronShadow

Since the first moment you wrote Against the Odd, I read it like five times and no matter what, I feel the thrill of reading it again. Last time I read it before today was two years ago.

I decided to check your profile out and to my major surprise, there were a sequel to the story I enjoyed. I enjoyed this two chapter story...but I am saddened that it haven't been updated for nearly two years...

What happened to make you lose interest in writing this story? I really hope you will go back to writing this story and if you do, I will promise to review each chapter. So would you please carry on writing this story?

Extremely cool!

Wow, I'm hooked. I look forward to seeing how this turns out.

I guess I should check on your profile more often or I'll keep missing stuff like this. I was actually halfway into the first chapter before I realised this was a complete overwrite of the original version and I have to say I like this version better. The triplicate viewpoints (Jason and Kelly, Adam and Amanda, and the mysterious blind kid that I can't remember the name of) work really well, breaking off at just the right time to give the reader something to think about and an incentive to keep going. I assume that the timeline with this will be different to the original, since I remember that they all met at Adam's house where the blind kid related his story (I think the bit about that kid's birth and early life would still fit in, of course that is your perogative)

Amen to your little update on your profile btw ^^ I'm still struggling to get back into the writing spirit - job hunting and life in general makes me think it isn't as important but I realise that as something that interests me it holds equal importance. I'll try to push on if you do the same *hugs*
