Sorry about this, but I'm too tired and don't have time to do a true review right now, so I'm just going to post this hear. I thought the chapter was interesting, but repetative. We get that his Pokemon will be with him to the end the first time you mention it. Also, sometimes I felt you were trying too hard to set the reminiscing tone... again, less repetition would help. Sorry I didn't go more detailed; if I have time I will. Nice new avatar, btw.
