Holy shit...

Weedle weeds out weaklings.

the trio is surprisingly badass

Oh gawds, first in the anime, they try to recruit pikachu, and now ASH into TEAM ROCKET?

Looking forward to the write up. :)

I know that you've already finished this a long time ago, but given Jessie and James' attitude towards "the Good Guys" I'm kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop when find out that their entire organization is practically made up of "Good Guys". That's probably going to be a shattered worldview right there.

Haven't finished reading the chapter yet, but Lucas is Giovanni's son isn't he. He ran away from his facist family who then became Team Rocket. It seems like a likely option.

I have been excitedly reading through this story and not leaving reviews, but this chapter was so cool. I love the darker themes, I love the violence, I love how you explain Rocket members motivations and how varied those motivations are, I looove Jessie and James too! How they were in this chapter made me want to review.

I love how the other Rocket member refured to them as the crazies. Their talk about pamphlets in an earlier chapter was so funny to me! I like how they're so competent too. Jessie just casually broke that person's arm then they just killed the humans, and went back to watching the movie! Amazing.

And, holy shit, what you've done with Ash's character, I love it. Same with Brock and Misty. You've changed these characters to fit this new world, but you were able to keep the core of who these characters were.

The sneaky humor in here too, I love it!

This world is amazing. It feels like a great blend of the managa, Pokemon Adventures, the anime (some parts remind me of Pokemon Origons) and the game. Your battle scenes are amazing, the strategies are awesome, and the research you must put into this for pokemon moves...

Just. Just stellar. This is one of the best AU fics I've ever read in any fandom. Simply amazing.

So I saw the rewrite and had to read the original and you’ve done an excellent job! I love the characterizations of the pokemon, especially pikachu and butterfree. Team Rocket being competent but still not totally evil is well done, I can imagine the narrator going, “And will James ever get to show his powerpoint? Stay tuned!” I’m looking forward to reading this story and the rewrite, thank you for this excellent story!

"... personality, and power power."
? Would you have just wanted one power?
Or did you mean something else, like physical power?

I realise me saying this now when you've already written ahead doesn't do much, but could you not just off jessie, James and meowth? they are really annoying.

otherwise, I'm really enjoying the story so far looking forward to the rest.

I'm really happy to hear that you finally feel you've polished it enough to release it to the public.

Symbiosis remains to this day one of my favorite Pokemon fanfic and one I've Reread several times.

I look forward to reading the rewrite.

Ermahgawd. IT IS ALIVE!

Gosh, even if you don’t look back on it fondly, I love this story, and I really look forward to revisiting it again with new eyes and a fresh coat of paint! I’m excited to see how much you’ve grown, and thank you for sticking with it!

so does it mean that you are going stop writing symbiosis and continue on symbiotic instead?
