Crap! That was amazing. It deserves alot more than 74 reviews. It's truely amazing. well written. It's another Romeo ad Juillet. Amazing. Truly Amazing! Loved it so much.
(Overall review) Bravo! Very original Pokeshippy adventure story. I loved how you expanded on the "legend" from Pokemon the Movie 20 to include Misty (very clever). Professor Oak's role was also a pleasant surprise. Redeyes was simply brilliant, too. The romance was genuine and I couldn't stop reading this fanfic from start to finish. Great job!
Amazing, simply amazing! That has to have been the most emotional, sad, exciting, adventurous piece of work I have ever had the pleasure of reading on this site. And though it appears you are no longer active in the pokemon/fanfic writing community, I just wanted to give you major props for this. It was excellent in every sense of the word and you deserve every ounce of praise you have received.
It was a pleasure to read this and now I am off to read more! Thanks!
That was so, so, so, sad. Yet so brilliantly written as well. I am not sure whether I should yell, scream, cry, or bow down and acknowledge your writing skills.
The plot flowed nicely, and although I could wish for a different ending, it all tied in and I felt there were no loose ends. The only flaws I found were in spelling/grammar, for example, I think in one sentence you wrote 'has' instead of 'had'. However, that is nothing major, and could quite easily be fixed with another proofread-it would not diminish the quality of the work to anyone except perhaps a padantic perfectionist such as myself. :)
All in all, brilliant. Few stories make me cry, but this one most definitely did. Oh, and, the characters were not a single whit out of character, too. :)
Very, very good story. This is the second fanfic that I have read that had made me cry, even. I don't know much more to say other than a job well done on an awesome story.
I read and reread the original prophecy to see what the catch was. I hadn't figured that you were hiding part of it. That's sort of cheating, but within the flow of the story, I think you handled it exceptionally well.
This story's definitetly going onto my fanfic of the month page at my website.
Not quite original though. Cyberwraith9's Bagdequest I believe predates your story and has almost the same themes: Missingno, Pokemopolis, Ash vs Gary for the Master title, AAML, Sabrina. I'd be curious to know if you were inspired by him.
Oh, Marlex, this is . . . amazing. The writing is just so flowing; it expresses all the emotions perfectly and so eloquently. I love how you incorporated stuff from episodes, like the one about Pokemopolis, and the rarity of Mew, and everything else. Very romantic and tragic. I thought the ending was perfect, though I must say that I thought it a little predictable that Misty would have to kill Ash. One thing: The carbon dating method is only used on objects that are known to be 5,0 years old or younger to get a more accurate date, but that's a speck of a problem. The only other thing is, my next fic is sorta similar. I swear it was original on my part, but this blows anything I could write completely out of the water. Also, I think the rating could be down-graded to PG-13, that way more people would get to enjoy this fantastic work. This is the best fic I think I've ever read, and I think you have a real future in liturature.
You know, I think this was my first deep Ash/Misty story with such dark themes that I read. I really loved it - still do. I also liked the ending very much, even if it was so sad (a reason of why I liked it so much).
But the one thing I don't know is this: the fact that you never wrote another Ash/Misty story - or Pokemon... or any story other story since then! I also loved your other story 'Words that we couldn't say,' and I think you're a great writer.
I don't know if you'll ever read this review, but I hope that maybe someday you'll start writing again...
