Chapter: The Ouen League – Chapter 47: The First Preliminary
Awesome chapter!
Too bad Mark lost, but having main characters that always win is one of my pet peeves. :P
By the way, was Aaron the kid at the festival who asked for the Ditto? Mark thought he looked familiar, and he said that Ditto had been his starter Pokemon.Reply: Yes, Aaron was the guy at the Festival who got the Ditto. It's a bit of an easter egg for observant readers.

I love your fanfic Dragonfree, it is without a doubt the best I have ever read. Your battle scenes are amazing. I just have one question, how often do you post new chapters? I stayed up every night for the last four nights, just to find out what happens next. I can't wait for the next Chapter.Reply: How long it takes me to write a chapter varies immensely; I have written a chapter in two days, and I have taken six months to get one done. Normally I believe it's something between one and two months, though.

I love your battle seaquences! The ones I write myself are a bit boring at the moment…
I think in an earlier chapter Letaligon said that once she had evolved she wanted to be relesed so she could challenge her father. Can't wait to find out if she does or not!!!Reply: She did, but in chapter 41 she had an agreement with Mark that if she went with them to the League, she would stick with him until it was over and then they would return to Ruxido to release her.

Wow- your battle scenes are amazing! I very much liked this chapter, especially Letal's evolution! I have a dumb question, however- is Earth Power a real move, or one made up for the fic?Reply: Earth Power is a real move introduced in Diamond and Pearl. It is basically a Ground-type version of Psychic, and Lunatone does learn it (it's a Platinum move tutor move).

Please forgive me if you think this is a dumb question but,
what is the difference between a pokemon coming in or out of the ball with white light or red light? I noticed you use both and I don't know if there's a difference or not.Reply: Pokémon glow white when they come out of the ball but red when absorbed back into the ball. As it happens I did not notice this until quite late, so all the earlier chapters show the Pokémon both coming out and going back in via red light, but in the later chapters I think I've been getting it right. If you spotted a Pokémon appearing in red light in this chapter somewhere, by all means tell me so I can fix it.

What were those lights doing, anyway? Were they of any signifigance? Or were they just random?Reply: Just an attempt at realistic light switches that might be in a Pokémon Gym, pretty much. :/

Chapter: Chapter 44: Polaryu
“Chaletwo, you know where you put him,” Mark said in exasperation. “Where do we go?”
I was randomly skimming this chapter for no apparent reason and this caught my eye. Wouldn't this indicate to May that Chaletwo was the one who created Polaryu, which is something Mark seems to have an unspoken agreement with Chaletwo not to let her know?
While I'm at it, I'll just mention that I went and read the bit where they talk about the dragons in Chapter 31 just to make sure my point wasn't somehow dealt with there, and Chaletwo's reaction to May's suggestion that he just Death Stared Thunderyu was freaking adorable. I never quite realised why he acted like that before, but now I know how much he loves those widdle murderous dragons… x3Reply: …let's just say it slipped out but May wasn't paying enough attention to get suspicious. :D; Or maybe she assumed Chaletwo was just the one to seal him away, hence knowing of the locations of the other dragons, but not the one to create them. Or something.
(And yes, Chaletwo can be quite adorable. :3)

Awesome job on this chapter! When the nurse told him that he couldn't use Charizard, I felt a rush of anger for him. Wow, that just proves how much I've bonded with the characters you have created!
Also, no offense, but it was really easy to predict the Letal vs. Letaligon battle.

E-P-I-C. That was so awesome, Butterfree. I can't wait to see what Letal–er, Letaligon– can do.

Magnificent battle! Frankly, having Letal evolve caught me off guard. I wonder how she's feeling about that… XD

"They were all cheering for him – him and Letal."
Does it say Letal just because Mark still thinks of her as Letal, or is that a typo?
Otherwise:
This makes me want to flip through the channels, trying to find the battles on TV. I guess I'll just have to stick to watching History D:Reply: The idea is that they were cheering for Letal's evolution into Letaligon, and thus for Letal. (That and saying "him and Letaligon" would be ambiguous - you have no idea how much trouble it was to try to word everything so that it would be clear which Letaligon is being referred to without it being awkward.)

This is a very good story.
It actually was a good idea to have Mark lose – it makes it more realistic.

How can the final for a class be only ten questions?Reply: It's not ten questions; it's an integer grade out of ten (which is what I'm used to from our school system).

Chapter: Chapter 1: Ultimatum
For the beginning, I think you should add a bit more of the agitation from the classroom to contrast the calmness of the outdoors. The Rattata thing seemed sort of random, to be honest.
I don't know why, but "Er" seems to hint at nervousness more than apathy. Perhaps it's the teeth clenching.
I /hate/ it when people say whatever. Perhaps it's because my mother says it a lot and I hate my mother, or maybe it's because the similar things I say instead like "Okay." at least acknowledge that the person said something at all. I think the first.
First person thoughts actually work for this. It's nice. I read it a second time, however, and it seems sort of /aggressive/.
It feels as if the class was empty, so it took a while to realize that there were children exiting after the bell rang. Perhaps you could have the children laugh at one of his remarks, like in the old version of this chapter.
I think "to match his mood." is unnecessary, as there's been stories with psychic weather since forever. As you sort of say, it's a mocking of my interpretation skills.
Ooh… Cliffhanger. :3Reply: You make good points; thanks for the crit. :3 Particularly on the class feeling empty - I didn't notice it before, but now I definitely see it.
About the "Er", it was not precisely meant to express apathy; it was more of a general hesitation thing.
I need to revise the IALCOTN soon…

-commenting on the extra-
Weird, didn't May say waaaaay earlier in the fic that she thought Quilava was okay, but she hated Cyndaquil?
Reply: She did, and she does kind of like Quilava. The point of the extra is that she is denying the fact she has conflicted feelings about releasing her, and insisting to herself that she hates Quilava anyway (even though she doesn't) is a sort of final seal of justification on it.
