DAMM DAM DAAAA The good old "Giovanni is Ashs Daddy" plot :)

Its a shame.
Peoples like Barry and Paul are on Ash list but not Angie._.

Nando might have to be here he and ash met quite a few times also Georgia and burgandy

Wow, that was a wild ride!

Finally had a peaceful opportunity to finish reading this story. Took literally years to do that but I had a great time (re-)reading it, thank you for the great time! This is indeed a super enjoyable treat for the pokemon anime fans. Hope many people read (and re-read) this exciting adventure...

It's hard to choose one favorite moment, I really loved the whole journey and its conclusion. Special kudos for the incredible cast management, there were so many characters together but still you found a way to everyone shine and have great interactions with each other, hahaha.

I think last time I left a review I was bugged about Leaf's development and ah, I do love how it ended up going and I really hope to see her again in your future stories too. :)

Looking forward to reading part II now. Heard you are already writing more stories related to this universe, wish you good luck, lots of inspiration and support to continue your work.

Cheers!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

I stayed up until 4:30am to finish this and i have to leave for work in 3 hours but i have no regrets whatsoever this is such an amazing story! I couldn't look away, right from the first chapter! I don't even ship pokeshipping so this was an enormous surprise for me - normally any hint of it has me immediately turned off from a story, but the whole plot was so engaging that I didn't even mind! thank you so much for writing this!

So this was great. Seeing all the connections was really fun, and you integrated anime canon with the game beautifully. And like oh my goodness, you handled a MASSIVE cast. Kudos to that feat!

That's ryt! The minute I typed out the comment and read the next sentence voila enter mewtwo by ash

Wait! Is it mew two? cuz when leaf was recalling all the incidents relating ash and legendaries there was no mention of mewtwo

So I've read TAC and TAC II a few times now, but I never took the time to write you anything... because I'm lazy as fuck. I just wanted to say that you've written two of my favorite fanfics ever, and I just love going back to it and reading it over and over again.
I haven't even watched all the Pokémon seasons but I love some of the characters because of the way you portrayed them, and you did such an amazing job writing so many characters at the same time while also developing an interesting and clever plot. In the TAC-verse, Paul's my favorite character. His development is just so beautiful and heartbreaking.
I just don't know what else I could say to show you how much I appreciated the story you wrote.
There's this one think I'd like to ask you about... In this chapter, Jessie and James are talking about the bus accident. James calls the kids "The redhead twerp, the twerp with the bandanna, the rude twerp, the fine twerp...". So who's the fine twerp? I'm not really sure who that is... Cilan?
Thanks again for the great story. I can't wait for TAC III.
Hope you have a great day!
Mii

I feel that the story is way too shippy right now.

Also, Ash is oblivious, sure, but he knows what the concept of a girlfriend is. He's 15 years old. Heck, he knew more in the show at 10 years old about relationships.

What a TWIST!

I quite enjoyed this story although admittedly I didn't know half the characters you introduced in this story. I'm more of an old school pokemon fan. So it's harder for me to keep track of the new people.

My only real quip with the story is that there were too many characters. And not too many characters overall- you had a real interwoven plot with many different subplots happening in the background. That's all well and good. What I mean is that you had too many characters in a single scene.

Typically when I write stories with a ton of characters, I try to keep the scenes less cluttered. It's hard to keep track of a conversation if you have six or seven people in the room all with things to say. It's not impossible to do- of course. And sometimes it is necessary that everyone be present for an announcement or the like. And I know the Ash connection was the whole gimmick of the story. Of how many people were connected to Ash. It just became really cluttered at parts- where I was left wondering what the point was to have quite so many characters there.

It would be remiss of me to leave out what I really liked about this story. I thought Ash's character was on point. I don't usually find many fanfics where people write an older Ash effectively, but you did. My only beef might be that at 14, Ash was a little old to still have a very childlike mentality on romance. He knows what a girlfriend or boyfriend means. He's vehemently said that Misty wasn't his girlfriend was. So his reaction in those scenarios made it seem like Ash was FAR younger than he actually is. It's okay for him to be obtuse in love. But completely ignorant makes it seem like Ash has been living the last four years in a vacuum.

But back on what I liked. Ash's feelings about his status as Chosen One was super refreshing and believable. I loved those flashes of doubts and how he didn't want to share them. I know I (and probably many other fanfic authors) operate our fanfics with the assumption that Ash is chosen. We don't really explore the rather interesting avenue of "but is he really?" or even if others believe it too. I was absolutely fascinated by this.

I only wish it amounted to something a bit more epic. Ash's "chosenness" seemed to be purposefully for tackling a pokemon and falling to his near death. Couldn't... anyone have done that? Hm, maybe I missed the point. I know you were going for more of a Ash isn't "special" per say but more that people gravitate to him and that's where he has powers. But it still felt like bit of a let down. Not sure what I wanted to occur, I just wanted there to be more of a reason for Ash to be there. Like maybe he can talk Mewtwo out of it for a second or two? Iunno.

Anyway, despite my quips, I really did enjoy this story. Thank you for sharing it. And I look forward to any you decide to write in the future. :)

Its been a few a few years since I read it and I forgot everything that happened. But man...this was such an amazing journey. I got to experience one of the greates fanfics ever all over again...I LOVE THIS STORY SO MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FJIWOEMCNXOOSODODNCJV

*wipes tear* those last few paragraphs get me everytime ...(goes to cry and pretends silver is there is ghosts glowing sparking stary form)
ash connection could be whole again, huh?
Freakin genius and beautiful writer, you are

I like that you involve every character and don't just make situations that have only ship characters. Like people would write things with with everyone being friends, but only the people they ship would always do everything together. The group would always be separated into shippings.
You on the other end, have great mixes.
Ritchie, Leaf, and Iris?
Paul, Cilan, and Trip?
Great team match ups. Gives variety
But...*deep breathe* YOU KILLED PROTON!
Oh, wow...Huh, there goes one of my fav executives, the cruelest guy in Team Rocket...playing HGSS kinda disappointed, Archer is way stronger than him...even Petrel and Ariana are! Sheesh...oh well...like how you included them as well
Au Revoir~
