Glad you enjoy the story so far. Nah, the team's theme isn't unpopularity, even if it might seem like that. As he gets more fame, riches, and wins more events, he'll get more popular (stronger) Pokemon. I'd say the theme of his team is 'Synergy'. Even if it isn't a Double Battle, each team member will setup or take advantage of the Pokemon before them. Like the synergy between Swift Swim + Drizzle. (All of them will also have their own solo strategy to reset the battle's momentum if the opponent interrupts his grand strategy)

I've got some ideas for dealing with flight, but Rattata will definitely need a teammate to deal with those pesky physical tanks. Mostly since a good majority of them resist her main type. She will be able to deal with non-resistant physical tanks in the future, but that's a while from now.

Nah. Hidden Types are explained in this chapter. But did you know Lugia actually isn't native to the sea? It chooses to live down there so every flap of its wings doesn't create a storm. And Groudon 'does' have Fire, it just needs Primal Reversion because it slept underground for centuries like a bum.

The battle was plenty balanced besides the range advantage, imo. I dunno what you mean by "breathe through machines", but Delibird realistically only took two hits. They were powerful hits, yes, but comparing that level of defense to a Tyranitar is wild. And Rattata also only took three attacks for a loss. This battle seems dramatic because I wrote it that way but in hindsight its a pretty low-tier fight. Also, Delibird really isn't moving that much, its just in the air. Even in Rattata jumped up there, she can't move mid-air so its extremely difficult to actually hit Delibird if it's trying to dodge. But it's all good. Hope you find what you're looking for! 😁👍🏽

I know I wrote something about the power of friendship, but that's just his thoughts. It isn't true. His real lose condition was the very first move; Snowscape. Not only does it increase Delibird's defense, but it slows down Rattata considerably, further decreasing her attack power since she heavily relies on speed to do damage. The reason the battle started out as a massacre was because Rattata's speed hadn't been really affected by the snow yet. But notice how the moment it starts kicking in, she starts losing. Caelan could've won if he was more ruthless, but alas, he was trying to be fair by not kicking Delibird when it was seemingly down.

She honestly could've reached Delibird as she is now. But the snowy weather makes her juuuust slow enough for Delibird to simply move out of the way.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, you're too kind :)))))) btw, you pointed out an old line, so i deleted it. when i make those changes, it erases all the other paragraph comments after that. but it's okay, i saw all of urs before they were removed.

I made it up so you could understand the quote. You understand now how it makes sense, so we're done here I assume.

Well, if you are equally weak to everything do you really have a specific weakness or are you just generally frail?

It's kind of like humans, in a way. There isn't some element or phenomenon that is "anti-human", we are just weak to everything.
