great job on the tr battle!

i think matt fell for lizzie at first fight

maybe TR has been keeping on the down low and that's why Matt hasn't heard of them before

Heyy :) I've just read teh 1st chapter and i thought it was great :D I 'm gonna kee this review short so i can get onto reading the next chapter :) I love trainer journeys 3

Cool! Matt got a pinsir and won his first battle!

he sure showed Chloe and Zach about what happens when you try to steal someone's pokemon

Uh oh What will matt do?

Did Charmelon knock out gloom?

Cool! Matt won his first battle in the tournement AND he got the red crystal badge!

Eric should have been disqualified! he was acting like a real jerk

Wow! two captures in one day!

Neat! So matt took squirtle

Starting reading your story from your posting on the forums.

This story is going quite well, and I'm impressed in how you've merged the games and the anime. I see you also changed the minimum starting age - something that would be reasonable in a realistic situation (why did the games establish it at 10, anyway?).

Looking forward to reading more material.

So far i have read all the way up to chapter 20, i know it says i a reviewing ch. 28 but thats wrong. But back to the Review.

So far i like it. It was a little slow in the beginning yes but you have picked it up quite a bit. But here is a list of what i like so far.

1. Character Progression Wonderful, making a good beleivable Character is my down fall so i aplaud you for that.

2. I like how you dont throw in Team Rocket evey chanmce you get like they do on the show. In my opinion TR gets Anoying way to quickly. But you use them sparingly.

3. Alot of other stuff not coming to mind at the moment.

Dislikes.

1. Your battles are lazy. Really lazy. You start off Godd but then end with crap.

2. I don't think your characters should have so many pokemon each. With to many pokemon their is never a chance to build a relationship with all of them. That is why Ash from the T.V show doent have very many pokemon. Because they need him to be able to build a good strong relationship with all of them.

3.When capturing a pokemon you should probally write out the battle between the two. Much like you did when Matt caught the caterpie. That one was good. Instead of soing it the lazy way and just saying "While on their way through Mt. Moon they ran into a flock of Zubat, and they mangaed to Catch one." In my opinion that is a bit lazy on your part.

4. This just may not be my style but Come on Articuno. And she didnt even cath it herself. You shouldnt have gone that way. That just may be me being picky though.

5. One last thing. Nurse Joy giving him 4 pokemon for no real reson. Lazier. One i would think is fine, but 4.

This is just my opinion. Take it as you will. Just remember there is more good than bad in the story. I do like and i intend to continue reading. Just thought you would like my opinion. Im not sure how much i said was legit or or me being picky.

P.S. Lizzie should actually earn her own badges. Lazy again

So far so good. I love your intense attention to detail as well as your good use of dialogue. The story is easy to read and keeps the reader interested. You have thus far impressed Onion Man Chive, be proud!

OMG BEST POKE FIC IN THE WORLD hava a nice day KUI

I never thought I could love a Pokemon character more than I love MAy. But Lizzie has proven that I was wrong. The author of this story displays a true passion for writing and even more for Pokemon.

This is an excelant story. I think it's really cool you wrote a squel when you don't have many review. But for sure it's a good story!
