Enjoying this entire volume so far! Feels like we've gotten to see an entire range of fighting capabilities: The silver and gold fights against weaker trainers being fairly easy, the gym trainers with dark gold being about the same level as Mikail and giving him a bit of a challenge and then Stephanie being a more experienced trainer with higher stage pokemon making it a close and hard fought battle.

Unimportant trivia sort of question here:Is rock Mikail's least favourite type?I think I remember him saying Shuckle is his least favourite pokemon, rock types ARE quite weak being the 1st gym in 3/4 of the regions by the 4th gen.Most importantly though, he got his 17th type out of all 18 types whenever his Riolu evolved but he still has yet to get a rock type pokemon

They share the ability Serene Grace, Jirachi is the wish pokemon, it is a psychic type and it is shaped like a lucky star you would wish upon, so people are drawing connections with the talent. I believe it was said in an earlier chapter that the talent takes the user's wants(wishes) into consideration

Pretty dang good. Only 10 in each stat less than a Mew o.O

Sorry for the long rant of a comment. I'm just enjoying the story and dread that the tournament will end up being a snooze fest

I don't get why he is even going to participate in the Senior League Tournament. At this point he is so far above them that he may as well participate in the Junior League Tournament with the same rules, that he has to use weak pokemon. It just sounds boring because Mikail should steamroll everyone and if he doesn't it will be because of restrictions that he doesn't. Maybe it's just me but I feel the best tournament so far was the one where Mikail's dad lost. It had the most interesting battles and we got to see some challenges. Mikail's mums tournament was boring but at least it was brief. Mikail's school tournament felt tedious but at least it had the rewards dangling in front of our noses that we could anticipate him getting and it makes a lot of sense for him to participate. Not sure if he even could've skipped it.This tournament he had to get rules changed just so he would be able to participate. I just don't get what he gets out of this tournament, or what we will get out of reading it.I mean, we know that he beat his mom in a pokemon battle and she was the winner of the previous Senior League Tournament so in my eyes he has already basically won it.I would so much rather see him struggle in a tougher tournament and maybe even occasionally lose like he used to in the battle clubs.Just feels like he still almost only fights silver and gold stage pokemon/Senior and Expert class trainers when he should be fighting strong dark gold pokemon and weak platinum pokemon/Elite and Champion class trainers.Maybe it's not a big deal. Maybe it will just be an interesting way to see the weaker members of the team get a chance to fight. Ultimately the author knows his own story better than me. Maybe it will end up being the best tournament in the story. I hope so, but I just don't see how that would happen.

I like tomorrow as an answer better than the future because the future being close is debatable. It could be a second away or could be a billion years away depending on perspective but tomorrow is always within the next 24 hours.
