That would be why I said that she's better at tactics and strategy, yes.

Honestly, rather than vindictive, I would rather see Ginny get depressed. After all, what child that was indoctrinated to believe they were perfect for someone wouldn't know how something as special as a soul bond works. I find it more likely that, since Harry's already bonded twice, why couldn't it happen a third time and jump him without even trying the potions. Then she'd go into a depressive spiral because she's a 13 year old girl who still believes in true love and has found out her's is one-sided. That would leave you with the option of depressed and suicidal Ginny or murderous yandere Ginny if you still want to bash her, but you could play the lonely little girl who still needs a friend if you don't think that those would make sense for a 13-year-old.

So, it's your story, and do what you will with it, but that just sounds like an excuse to not be creative. He'd rather let the system do it than try to figure it out himself. Seeing if you can get stronger, gain more control over what you have, and develop something new is a hallmark of system fics. The character trying, even if they don't succeed, is important for a system fic. A lot of protags go, "What if my system that I randomly got, randomly disappears? I need to be able to take care of myself if it's gone."

Owning a black cat is considered good luck.

If I remember correctly, isn't base level Rasengan just a particularly difficult chakra control exercise in practice? A controlled spin of your chakra outside of your body, no hand signs required? He shouldn't need to purchase that one when he should be technically able to train it it with pure effort.

To be clear, the phrase is Sucker Punch, not soccer.

All jokes aside, it's good to see this update. You've got one of the best pokémon fics on here, and I look forward to reading more.

A funny thing to note is that every prediction made in the books came true. Check out the Super Carlin Brothers video on Trelawney's predictions; they did a comprehensive breakdown the subject

Fun fact for those unaware: the tribal sounding part of the song is in Na'vi, the language of the blue people in Avatar.

The term is bindle

Isn't she "Tsubaki"-sensei right now?

Me thinks the girl do be jealous

Twice you said except instead of what I'm going to assume was supposed to be expect, easy mistake but I thought that you'd like to know

yes

You also have to remember that "The Wave" mission is one of the earliest examples of what a ninja can do in the show, as well as something that makes it into almost every fanfic, discounting how it may change, so there is a baseline reinforcement to the memory.

Ambrosia is food. Nectar is the drink.

I snorted, good job. Now, to wait a few hours.
