A top tier pokemon fanfic. Does everything right, and the MC is perfect. He has a great personality and I like how it shows that he is putting a lot of effort into getting his pokemon stronger. I hope the author continues to write this story.

There is nothing wrong with the fic, but it's just not my type. Read till chapter 5 and up until now I am not liking what I see. - MC is one of those who don't want to change cannon and tries his best to make sure things stay in line just like anime. - He for some reason is dead set on having Ash as his rival. - He waited for days in Pewter city for Ash and Misty to catch up with him, and it seems like this is going to happen again and again. - He is way to focused on making sure that Ash becomes an actual trainer instead of the joke he was in the anime and wastes too much time on him. - And just now he decided not to take charmander because he was an important part of Ash's team(this just broke the deal for me). - So from what I see this is going to be the kind of story where MC goes around helping people and fixing all the mistake that were made in canon without getting anything in return and is afraid to make any big changes.

Love the world building and how story progress with each situation impacting the whole story. The author did put a lot of thoughts and research on pokemon world as well as how MC should approach in certain situation. There is long period of character drama and some of the readers won't like it but I believe it helps move the story much faster instead of having mountain of filler episodes. Overall, MC follows the story but it's not exactly same and there is a small twist so it is refreshing to read.

I don’t understand why mc try so hard to maintain the canon, He has a knowledge to become powerful and Knows what pokemon should catCh but No he would rather stick to ash and train him than becoming strong and catch random pokemon tch... another thing why would you care about ash?? Like nOt catching charmander becauSe he is very important pokemon to ash, come on he is The main character of the canon and a plot armor he would have find another strong pokemon becaus eof plot armor, The mc should think about Himself, what is he Ash’s Dog??? Another thing i don’t like in this fanfic is that the mc randomly catch pokemon, Not thinking of what team should he form...

Love this book! I love how you made thos book with ash being more serIous instead of being a brat? You made it so he actually trains his pokemon in this book and I love it that way and This is my fIrst time reading a book like this full stars!

Glad to see you branch out onto other sites.
