Chapter: Chapter 31: Spirit
In the sentence "“Um… Chaletwo sorta… broke into my dream tonight,”" I think it should be last night instead of tonight.Reply: Yeah, definitely. We use the same phrase for it in Icelandic and I didn't realize "tonight" is strictly "the upcoming night" in English until later.

Wouldn't Mark have already known what teleportation feels like from that Exeggcute teleporting him to Green Town? Or is it different because Felix was teleporting repeatedly?Reply: Yeah, it's different because he's doing it repeatedly. Teleporting once is mildly disorienting for a second, but many teleports in a row really start to mess with your brain.

I like this chapter so much I think I'll explode. It is now my favorite chapter.

"At least, he heavily stood up, and got in line with the few other kids in sixth grade who weren't out training Pokémon." Did you mean "At last" or is it not a typo?Reply: I meant it like "anyway". There's a lot of funky grammar and phrasing in the earlier chapters; English is my second language and I wasn't nearly as good at it in 2004 as I thought.

Chapter: Chapter 51: Fake-Out
I think there's an inconsistency here – around the time when Entei starts spamming Extrasensory, Mark notices Jolteon "suffering the same fate" and recalls him. After the kids realize that Entei's dead, though, Mark recalls Jolteon again.
I think I understand more of this chapter now than I did when it was first published. Things like Leah's establishing characterization, Entei's justification for the "Chosen" plot, and Mark's disillusionment all seem to have more depth to them now that the later chapters have better shown why the characters act the way they do, and I also find Leah's dig at Chaletwo in chapter 69 a lot funnier now that I know she was referencing something I'd seen before.
I like that the fic really rewards the reader for picking up earlier chapters again and remembering the details, and I think that it's one of its strong points. I look forward to the rest of it. ^ . ^Reply: Haha, whoops. I usually keep track of exactly which Pokémon are still standing in a text file of notes as I write legendary battles, but I guess I forgot to update Jolteon's status there.
I'm glad you enjoy it on a reread! Don't go too far back unless you're prepared, though. :P (I'm going to do a silly commentary thing after the end, though, where we can all bask in the ridiculous glory of my fourteen-year-old writing together.)

Why do you sometimes use … and sometimes use …?Reply: I'm not doing anything different; I think at some point Word just stopped autocorrecting them.

Wouldn't Alan's arm be hurt by May catching him like that?Reply: May's flying down at the same speed he is at the time, so no.

Just rereading chapters for fun and noticed a fakemon – monarking. Will there be more descriptions of this ? :DReply: I'm afraid not! Monarking was completely pointless and only ever appeared in this one chapter.

Nú fer spennan að aukast. Bæði þrengist hringurinn um May, allir að spyrja og sumir að kjafta frá. Og svo eru þau komin á sporið með síðasta goðsagnahópinn.

Chapter: Chapter 68: Truths
Sú innri barátta sem Mark háir við Chaletwo er mjög flott. En ég skil ekki, hvorki í þessum kafla, né undanförnum köflum, hvenær rödd Chaletwos heyrist og hvenær ekki. Þeas stundum heyra May og þau hin í honum og svara honum, þó hann sé í líkama Marks. Svo þegar þau eru með einhverjum utanaðkomandi, þá er stundum eins og viðkomandi heyri ekki rödd Chaletwos. En það virðist ekki vera reglan að utanaðkomandi heyri hana ekki, heldur er það tilviljanakennt, eða hvað?
Annað er að mér finnst skrítið hvað fólki bregður lítið við að heyra að heimurinn sé að farast. Vilja jafnvel frekar halda áfram að reka veitingastaðinn sinn heldur en að berjast. Gott og vel, sumir eru hræddir við stríð, en þá ættu þeir að verða skelfingu lostnir og vilja skríða í skjól, eða fara í afneitun og mótmæla sögunni kröftuglega, ákveða að hún sé bull.Reply: Það er ekki tilviljanakennt, heldur ræður hann því hverju sinni hversu langt rödd hans heyrist. Ef hann er bara að tala við Mark, þá talar hann bara inni í höfðinu á Mark, en ef hann þarf að tala við aðra þá lætur hann það heyrast innan ákveðins radíusar frá Mark (það eru þó takmörk fyrir yfir hversu stóran radíus hann getur náð). Þannig hefur það alltaf verið, ekki bara í þessum síðustu köflum. Ég held það sé yfirleitt nokkuð skýrt af samhenginu hvenær hann er að tala bara við Mark og hvenær ekki.
Ég held það sé stór munur á að segja fólki að heimurinn sé að farast og "Það steðjar að hætta, en við ætlum að stöðva hana." Mér finnst ekki rökrétt að manneskja sem heyrir þessa sögu fari í afneitun - þau segjast vera að redda málunum, og ef þú vilt ekki trúa að heimurinn farist, þá er miklu einfaldari og sálfræðilega þægilegri leið að trúa að þá reddi þau örugglega málunum.
Sparky myndi vilja hjálpa, en telur sig ekki vera réttu manneskjuna til þess - hann á ekki mjög sterka pokémona og heldur að hann yrði ekki til mikils gagns, þangað til þau sannfæra hann. Það er ekki rétt að segja að hann vilji bara frekar halda áfram að reka veitingastaðinn sinn - hann minntist bara á veitingastaðinn á þeim grundvelli að það sé til betra fólk en hann með minni skuldbindingar.

Fínn kafli sem fjallar svo sem ekki um annað en það að þau eru að safna liði.

Þetta var góður kafli. Spennandi hvort Alan fer eða ekki. Samtalið þroskað. Og svo spyr maður sig hvort Mitch komi ekki aftur við sögu síðar?

I love how nonchalantly Leah says “Then again, we’re a bunch of teenagers going around fighting gods, so, you know.” It had me cracking up for a few minutes.

I can't believe that I wondered why May was acting weird. I don't like cliffhangers.

INTERESTING! I like this chapter. I wonder why May is acting weird. I wanted to post in the Quest Blog but I don't have anything to say.

Oh gee, the wait was totally worth it, since this came out great.
I knew Alan had issues. His inferiority complex was what made him interesting to me. But I had no idea they ran this deep, and… that makes him even more interesting.
As for Mitch, interesting. Don't think it's a coincidence this happened to him when it did though.
But yep, these kids are totally out of their depth here. Gah… Too many legendaries at once.

I wanted to say this story has inspired me to make my own and my theory is that the Pokeball on the road was Charmander's.
