This fic was one of the first I've ever read. It was also the first fic I ever favorited. It's been nearly eighteen years since the first time I've read this, and I just want to say, "Thank you for writing this." This fic (and your other ones) still influence how I write Pokémon fanfics even to this day. I know the odds of you ever seeing this comment are low, with FFN's notoriously broken mailing system and it having been literal decades since your account was active, but I still felt I had to leave this small bit of appreciation for a story that's been very important to me as a fanfic author. (I had to put the review on this chapter, since I apparently left a review before...)

well written but honestly way too many walls of text they keep the self reflection together yes but they still need some paterns or spaces to break it up as its harder to read without losing ur place when its a completely solid wall of text...
that and u are incredibly original to show an emotional ash etc also awesome pokeshipping almost enough to make up for horsea(crys quietly in mourning)

Wow. This is an incredible fic! Enthralled throughout (possibly teary-eyed through half of it...). Can you send me a link to any other fics you've written please? My email is paulos_27 @hotmail.co.uk - thanks for a brilliant novel.

Holy. Balls.
I... God!
I don't know what to say. One of the best fanfics, no, one of the best ANYTHINGS I've ever read. It almost seems as though it was tailored specifically to me. My fears, my worries, my hopes, my dreams, all meshed together. Obviously I'm not the Child of the Phoenix(OR AM I! DUN DUN DUN!), but I do worry about changes, in my mind, in my character. And I have a fear that, to protect myself from the hate and pain others caused me, I have changed myself to the point that I'm losing my mind, and that I'm becoming dangerous to others. I am developing a deep, deep fear that I not only will be alone for my whole life, but indeed SHOULD be alone, not only for me, but for the ones I love as well. Ash's revelation, and Misty's fear from it in chapter... 5, I think, really hit home with me. And Ash thinking about what it would be like to have all the power of the world, but being alone for eternity... I have had a very, very similar train of thought run through my head many times now. After reading this, I cried. I fell on my knees on the balcony outside my dorm and cried like a baby for full ten minutes, remembering all I have lost, fearing the future, and the sheer beauty of those words you used to describe exactly my fears... It got spooky, reading this. The story itself was amazing, all the way through, but the double twist at the end took the cake. Making me think Ash was there, and then it turning out to be the Phoenix... I was into this story hard-core. When I read that it wasn't Ash, I swear my heart stopped in my chest. I seriously forgot to breathe. It was unthinkable... and then, when he returned, I felt... whole again. Like everything was right with the world. There were so many lines from this story that were just beautiful. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to write this. Just... thank you.

You've written a great story! I'm glad you saw it through, because most great stories are never completed. Great job, pioneer! :) All the good reviews are probably taken by now, so that's all I can say for now...

Despite having no real flaws, I did not really enjoy this piece; I believe it to be a good example of the story being less than the sum of its parts. As I mentioned, their isn’t really anything 'wrong' with it, but I just couldn’t get into the story, I stuck with it thinking it would get more involving, but it never did. I can’t really offer any advice on how to improve it, but I would suggest you re-read it yourself, and see if you can find a new way to do it. Ciao

Year and years and this is still one of my favorite pokemon fics, if anything because of how awesome Chikorita is.
