This is great so far. I'm very interested in result of the battle between Myer and Joe.
The only thing I have to say constructively isn't really anything bad, but the third paragraph is extremely long and it looked a bit intimidating when I first clicked on the story. Maybe it could be broken up? I was worried that the rest of the text would be like that because it is a bit difficult to read. But it wasn't and I'm glad I read on. :)
Anyway, I'll read more soon.

awesome story jojo
only read the first two chapters but i like what im reading!!
keep writing

Hello ! It's me again. This time I'm bringing with me a possible rival.

NAME: Adrian Entwhistle (I finaly managed to create a[n almost] decent name on my own. I hope no one already own it)

AGE: 14

APPEARENCE: short with dark eyes and medium lenght nut-brown hair, wearing a short sleeved-light blue shirt, a light-green t-shirt, white trousers and gray shoes.

GENDER: male

RIVAL: Gym Challenger rival

POKEMON: the lowest evolutions of Magmortar, Cloyster, Electvire, Farfetch'd, Metagross, Rhyperior. Will obviously get stronger and evolve as the story progress

EXTRA DETAIL: Very confident in his abilities, he enjoys to act boastful and to tease other people, but merely for joking. Cousin of Erwann, they have a friendly rivalry but contrary to him he his only a beginner.

You know, I begin to understand you, it's almost impossible to create characters without refering consciously or not to ourselves or our family.
Consider these guys as a present and a thanks for your story that I enjoyed so much. Best wishes from your most dedicated french reviewer ... which isn't extremely difficult for I'm your only french reviewer. Anyway, I hope I've been of some help.

Ah, so that's why you needed new companions for Joe. I feel for Josh- I hope they still get to see each other during their new journeys. And that's really cool for Kelly, though I'll miss seeing her in the new story.

All in all, I can't believe this story is finally over. I really enjoyed reading it, you had strong OC's that you developed well over the course of the story, you managed a lot of different relationships between the characters that made the story intriguing, you incorporated many elements including man vs man, man vs himself, and man vs supernatural, and you made the plot compelling enough to stick around to the end. I think I can officially put this story into my favorites now. I can't wait to see your new story-

Okay, so gawrsh, it's been eons since I last reviewed. I definitely felt guilt ignoring those little reminder e-mails I kept getting because I just dind't have the time. Of course what ended up happening was that I had to go all the way back to the beginning because I couldn't remember ANYTHING that had happened and I realized that I would have been better off just reading it as it went, business be damned. Ah well, but I got through it!

I still loved the story. I really, and truly did. It's got to be one of the best Pokemon-adventure stories out there so you get major kudos for that. You drew increidbly realistic characters. They acted their age, and everything seemed appropriate somehow... at times thouggh, I felt that the characters were A LITTLE SHALLOWLY PORTRAYED. But just a little. And, I guess I get that, when you have as large a roster of characters as you had, that's to be expected to some degree and I think you did very well with the characters you did have. Just... they felt a little homogeneous to me. Like everyone fit into one category : CRAZY GIRL, CALM HOT GUY, COCKY HOT GUY, REGULAR GUY, BAD GUY, AND JOE. There was a lot of similarity among the characters and my brain is mush right now so I can't be useful and give an example, but that was mainly toward the end and with the plot, I get how you didn't have time to be all, "OKAY. THIS CHARACTER IS THIS THIS THIS AND THIS." I get that. And it's really okay. I liked them all.

UHM. Hm. I dunno. The whole guardian, magic, I'm the reincarnation of so and so threw me off and I think I mentioned that in my first review...Probably should have looked that up before I came here. OH WELL.

A+ PLOT, CHARACTERS, LOVED IT ALL. I just may submit a character. =O If I do, I'll PM it to you.

AGAIN. SO SORRY FOR BEING A BAD READER. But it was totally worth the going back and reading. Great stuff, buddy.

So this is settled at last. So akward, this was the very first fic I decided to follox chapter after chapter. Bittersweet ending, indeed. I feel sorry for Josh, will we see him and Kelly popping up from time to time in the sequel ?
Anyway, I hope to read it soon.
WELL DONE AND KEEP GOING !

Wow, it is over. I feel like crying too...sniff. This was a great story and I will look forward to the sequal. Hope you have lots of insperation for it and Ill be reading it.

Hello Jojo! Greetings from London where I'm staying in an international english school. I'm here to offer a possible companion for the sequels.

NAME: Erwann Brochard (I lacked inspiration, so I used names of relatives of mine, the first name is pronounced almost exactly as Air-One)

AGE: 17 years old

APPEARENCE: tall, with tanned skin, green eyes, short dark hair. Wearing glasses. Clad in a red shirt, a dark green jacket, dark gray trousers and black shoes or other similar clothing.

GENDER: male

TRAINER/COMPANION: Trainer

STARTER POKEMON: basic pokémons, two Snorunt for a future Froslass and a future Glalie
(Pokemons already in box: Lapras, Abomasnow, Rotom, Magmar, Bronzong, Mismagus, Onyx, Vespiqueen and Lucario, not to be used, only to show that he already got some practice)

LOVE INTEREST: homosexual but not attracted in anyone in the gang

EXTRA DETAILS: The quiet and slightly sarcastic type, laid back and happy go lucky. Enjoys to relax and loves the beautiful sights, landscapes and musics. Modest, not very patient, cannot stand the braggarts ans agressive ones. Fair player with an (almost too) strong sense of honor.

If he suits you then help yourself pal, and remember that Peter is always at your disposal.
Best wishes for sequel writing. Hope to read you soon.

Glad to see your writting power back ! No regrets I wasn't very sarisfied by the battle I created, no flatterings I prefer yours. Next one Josh vs May, that's already promise to be gorgeous.

Wow, that was intense. May has come a long way from her Hoen days. Im gad she one, I just hope Zoey's dad wont be so gr. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Short and sweet. Who's going to win? Who's Joe going to root for in the final? I look forward to seeing the answers.

Nice to see an update! That was quite a battle there! I honestly thought that Joe was going to win in the end since he's your character and we all want our character's to be the winner in the end, but I love being surprised-that's what makes it worthwhile reading. The end is near I can sense, but at least hope we'll see what happens between Joe and Josh as well as the conclusion of the Grand Festival and the Pokemon League tourney.

Happy birthday JoJo ! and happy new year !

I'm pleased you liked my suggestions for the match and the characters, you turned my messy ideas into an extremely nice chapter. I enjoyed it very much ! (and I must admit a little bit of pride, yet I will never be able to write a real chapter)
I'm very glad I could be of any help against your writter's block. Consider it as a birthday present.
Well done and keep going !

Wow, this was well worth the wait. Sorry Joe lost but like they he said we all have to lose once in a while. Looking forward to the sequal.
