I can totally feel the mood! I know I'm kind of piling requests for updates on you, but encouragement is good, right?

*curses Author Alerts* If the darn thing actually worked, I would've known you'd updated. And I am happy to see the same attention to detail and characterization that made your first chapter such a pleasure to read. Now that Clare's rebuilt herself from the inside out, now what? We shall wait and see. Update soon, please? ^_^

The quote isn't much good, and again, your foray into realism meets with melodrama and underdeveloped angst. Try again. Or don't. And cut back on the description. You probably think it's poetic - it's not.

YAY!!! THANK YOU RAIKOU!! *worships Raikou*

Lights: Grow up.

LS: What, don't you believe in the power of Raikou? *hugs her Raikou plushie*

Lights: *sweatdrop* You're so pathetic.

LS: *points to her Raikou wallpaper on the computer*

Lights: *sweatdrop grows; sweatdrop pops and soaks the Raichu*

LS: *cackles insanely*

A stunning coming-of-age story. Raikou's gift to Loren appeared to be self-belief and strength. Again, this is a great story.

I read a review you had written for another fic and I'm very glad I checked out your works as well. This is a stunningly detailed fantasy fic set in the Pokemon world. Your writing skills belie your age; this is terrific.

Hmm, there's a bit going on we're not privy to yet. Definitely angsty in quality, and the grammar's in good shape.

It feels... very early in this story for some reason. I'm not sure if the AU's supposed to be our world with a few Pokemon added, or our world with the game. Still, I'm definitely inclined to hang around and find out!

This story keeps getting better and better. I love the descriptions, and the portrayal of emotion.

I *love* this! The portrayal of Clare's emotions was wonderful, and it was incredibly well-written and pretty! Will you be continuing with it, though, or is it intended to be single-chapter?

Very cool! I love your fleshing of your character Clare and the Raikou portrayal is awesome!

This is great, absolutely beautiful. You should continue this, as it is still questionable in some aspects, i.e. what's the Red Pandemic?

I remember this!! I still have the E-mail with this in it!! This is such an awesome story...WHEN WILL YOU POST MORE!! I WANT MORE!! As in, NOW!! Oh, this is good...I know exactly how Clare feels. It's how I feel every single school day. I CAN RELATE TO IT!!

Lightning: Don't go out of control, LS.

LS: Kay. *smiles at her Raichu, who sweatdrops* Please put more of this up! Bye!

If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
even there Your hand will guide me,
and your strength will support me.


I like that verse! I may memorize it ^_^
