I haven't yet read the chapter (I'm about to), but I just wanted to say one thing:

I NEVER GAVE UP ON YOU. NEVER.

I know I sent you quite a few reviews/PMs asking if the fic was going to be completed (if you ever got messages from Umi Kanshisha, that was me, just under a different (derpier) pen name), but I always occasionally checked back, re-read, and recommended this fic to anyone I met who shipped this pair, hoping that one day-one day!-it would be completed.

This update just made my day and I thought you should know, even before I read the chapter itself. Either way, reading now! Thank you so much for updating!

Have to say, you just made my day with this... Thank you!

Patiently waiting the next update:) Original concept, great writing, and amazing AU plot:D One of my all time favorite stories on here.

I'm new to fanfiction and have immediately fallen in love with your Pokemon/Phantom of the Opera concept. I am a huge fan of both, and I find your idea to be original, fresh, and simply great! I really like how you went into depth about Ash's past and would most certainly enjoy if you wrote a prequel regarding Delia, Drake, and Cypress. I think it would be an awesome idea as well as a good way to tie back into your amazing story! Also,can't wait for the grand finale!

I love this story :) I found it on Tumblr and I read the whole thing today. It's amazing. Please finish it.

I love this story so much! I got so excited when you said you are going to finish it, you don't even know. Can't wait for updates! :)

OMFG OMFG! i started reading this like 4 or 5 years ago and then you said you were giving up on it and everything and you do not know how depressed i was! i dont think you understand when i say how much i loved this story! you and this story were the reason why i made a fanfiction account! i made it so that i could actually contact you and finish this damn amazingly wonderful story! youre back, its been four years,but youre back! im gonna stop ranting now because im going to reread this wonderful fic and enjoy every minute! dont be surprised if you dont see me pop up in the reviews, i'll probably be way too caught up in it! so happy youre back! ')

Okay, that review that was posted yesterday was definitely me and not 'guest.' Just to clear that up.

Wow, I'm so excited that you're almost done with it! Don't worry, I won't kill you, unless... Well, we'll see. No plans for it, though. I would love to see a prequel, or honestly, any more of your writing. But since you're (sort of) planning on writing more Pokemon fanfiction, any chance that you'll finish Out of Your LEAGUE or Adopted Love? I know the answer is probably no, but it's work asking, right? Plus, I'm just interested in your interest in musicals, since you seem to like Phantom of the Opera. What do you think of musicals? Anyway, I'm super excited, and this is still one of the best written stories I've ever read, including actual books. Love it. Excited to hear from you soon!

This story is so awesome. Def one of the best AU's I've read. I really do hope you finish it

I just can't even! alkdgjalkjglka I swear for the past couple of years I've been coming to check this story out! Just to see if the by the off chance you have updated, and finished it! :( It's like I don't know the worst! Especially if you are waiting for the last chapter to a finished story. It's horrible, human, inhuman even, (I know drama queen). I would love to see this finished, still hoping it will be finished..I hope you are okay? Best wishes.

I've been reading fanfiction for a very, very long time, and I can say with upmost certainty that this is probably the best one that I've ever read. Seriously. It's brilliant. It basically breaks my heart to see such an fantastic piece of writing go unfinished, and for such a long time... trust me, I know how difficult it is to juggle real-world responsibilities with silly things like writing fanfiction, but you've got something really special here and it would make a lot of people happy if you updated. Or at least updated your profile so we know you're still working on it and not giving up. You've got a rare gift for writing, and I can't wait to see how you plan on ending Phantom!

I'd love to review the whole story. When i was reading the summary, I thought the story was pretty simple. Now that I've read the whole thing I'm really impressed. Hope fore more.:)

I loved this chapter!It was very exciting (and mysterious). Can't wait to read more. :)

Oh no! Watch out Ash!

This is such an interesting story!
