Hmm, okay, where should I start?

First of all, there are three main concerns that should be addressed, or at least considered, before you continue. These are grammar, punctuation and length. There are a few errors in spelling, and the structure of the chapter could have been better also.

Okay, take your first sentence for example. First of all, names of characters are capitalised to indicate a person (or Pokemon in this case) from another person. Also, try to avoid using actual numbers, such as "3", and write the word "three" instead.

"There" details an area or location, whereas "their" refers to a person's belonging or posession, or in this case, their leader. Pikachu is Turtwig and Piplup's leader. I also removed the word "these", as it prompted a possesive tone that the author may have included unintentionally. I was also going to remove the word "nice" as other descriptive words could have well been used in its place instead, but I'll leave that up to you.

Also, when writing monologues or dialogues, it is more professional and easy on the eyes, to use quotations (" and ') to encase a character's speech.

In these sentences where a dialogue has broken out between all four characters, it is more beneficial to add quotations around verbal sentences, as well as spacing out each sentence so that the paragraph does not become cluttered.

"Thanks!" Pikachu replied. "Come on in!"

When Pikachu let Turtwig and Piplup inside, he walked them to his room.

"Oh hi Piplup and Turtwig!" Pikachu's mother perked, as Pikachu led both Piplup and Turtwig towards his room.

"Ms. Pikachu's mom!" Piplup and Turtwig exclaimed in unison, surprised by her sudden appearance.

Grammar is important, and can make your sentences look a lot better when used effectively.

Also, when writing a conversation between characters, it is important to also incorporate descriptive paragraphs between lines, to help establish a setting and/or mood for the story. This prevents most of your dialogue scenes turning into scripts, which are not encouraged unless they are well written.

I hope this will help you in writing your next chapter, as I look forward to seeing to what happens next. ^-^

Turtwig then ran after the bus as quickly as possible. My Mom said I have to stop , But i'll write more, Sorry!

Avolition July 3rd, 2007 12:37 PM

Dude, didn't you listen to Phanima? Don't write it in script form, use quotation marks, and make it longer. A lot longer. You could make this story way better by not writing it like you do now.

Pikachu Jr July 4th, 2007 6:43 AM

I'll try my best Wooty Mcwoot and Phanima. Now to countinue chapter 2: The faster Turtwig ran, the faster the bus went. "Go faster!" Pikachu said, with fear, But just as Turtwig started to go faster, his vines got stuck in a sewer vent, and fell. Pikachu and Piplup screamed, as they were flying in the air. After they were flying in the air, they landed on a car. Then sudddenly a purple-dark like ghost came from the shadows, with red, scary eyes. "Out of my way!!!" Said the mysterious shadow, in a rude voice. "What's that guy's problem?" Piplup said, in a mad voice. The Shadow became so mad, he threw a shadow-dark ball at Piplup and Pikachu. Pikachu: Look out, Piplup!! Before The Shadow ball hit Piplup and Pikachu, The both of them jumped of the car and onto the shadow ball. Then the shadow figure, did another shadow ball at Piplup and Pikachu. Pikachu: What do we do now!? Piplup became so mad he did a huge bubblebeam at the Shadow ball, and The Shadow Creature. Then the Shadow came out of the Shadows, screaming while flying in the air, and fell on road. It was a Gengar! "You idiot, do you know what you just did!?" "Now I'm really late for School!" Gengar said, in a very angry voice. "Does it look like I care?!" Piplup said in a very angry voice. Then Piplup did a huge bubble attack at Gengar, and he flew all the way in the air. "Allright Piplup!" Pikachu and Turtwig said, in a very happy voice.But then Pikachu then saw the Shadow ball was going to crash! "PIPLUP, WERE ABOUT TO CRASH INTO A TREE!" Pikachu said in a very scared voice. Piplup:Well why did'nt you say so? Piplup then grabed Pikachu, and jumped of the Shadow ball. Then the Shadow ball hit the Tree, and exploded. Piplup: That was close! Pikachu: TURTWIG! Are you alright?! Turtwig: Yeah, I'm allright. Pikachu: We better get to School! Pikachu,Piplup and Turtwig then headed for middle School. Once they reached the School, they went to the priceibles office.Pikachu: Excuse me sir, but we would like to know what class were in. Princible: Why would the Three of you would like to know when both of you are in the smame class? Pikachu,Piplup and Turtwig was speechless, intill they yelled a big horray. Piplup: THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST YEAR EVER! Turtwig: YOU GOT THAT RIGHT! Pikachu: OH BOY! WITH A DAY LIKE THIS NOTING CAN GO WRONG! Gengar: [In shadows snikering.] I'm not so sure about that Pikachu.

Chapter 3: Body Trouble
It was another Peaceful afternoon in Pokemon Town. Meanwhile, Pikachu was working, frustradedly. He begined to sweat as he looked at the clock. Then he returned to his work. After a few ticks on the clock, The School Bell rang. Then, all the students started running out the room, excited to get out. Pikachu, Piplup, and Turtwig, was the last Students to get out.
"Dang! What the heck is that Teacher's problem?!" Pikachu said, in a mad tone.
" For your information, You should know that in Every Middle School, the teachers get more harder in every Subject, Pikachu!" Turtwig said, loudly.
" Oh just, Shut Up." Said Pikachu, in his mind.

While Pikachu and his friends was walking down the hallway, Gengar was sneaking near the lockers, with a letter in his hand.
"Hehehe, Oh this plan is going to be so great; Once I put this letter in Pikachu's Locker, he is going to be so sorry." Gengar said, snickering.
Gengar then walked quietly to To the lockers, without seen. Then he dialed the locker number on Pikachu's locker, and stuffed the letter in his locker, and closed the locker door. Once he heard Pikachu's voice coming, he dissapeared. Pikachu then walked to his locker to get his books, intill he was surprised at appearance of the letter. "What's this?" Piakchu said, confused. As Piplup was getting the books out out his locker made a weird look at Pikachu. What's wrong, Pikachu." Turtwig also peeked out out of his locker to see what was going on.
" It's a letter, but it dosen't have any adress on it." Pikachu said, as he begined to open it. To be countinued.

Lily July 30th, 2007 3:41 PM

Clearly you choose to ignore reviews.

Just stop writing.

Pikachu Jr July 31st, 2007 2:39 PM

I'm so sorry guys, It's just that, Im' only 11 years old, and Im' not really good with my grammer and Putiation. And I can't write THAT long, because I get tired. Somtimes I rush trough a chapter so I can have time to do want I want to do. And I can't ask my Mom to help me, beacuse she's to busy. She says she will try to help me this saturday or sunday. Anyway Again, Im' SO sorry. Please forgive me! PLEASE!

Dachampster July 31st, 2007 2:45 PM

Your whole chapter is scrunched up. Use the enter button. Or the return button. Just because you're 11 doesnt mean you get to ignore reviews and write bad stories. And you shouldnt write in speech format. And that also doesnt mean we have to automatically say that it's good.

Pikachu Jr July 31st, 2007 2:54 PM

I am using the Enter button, It's just that, I don't know When to push it. I also don't know what A speech Format is. And I am not trying to get you guys to like it, Im' trying the best I can. It's just so HARD!

lilninjapig July 31st, 2007 11:13 PM

Pika, if you're having that much trouble, PM me the chapter before you write it up, and I'll try and help you with the chapter.

>_> Way to shoot a guy a down.

Encouragement is what he needs, lets offer him help instead.

Comments like that do nothing to help out, considering he has clearly explained that he has trouble in certain areas of writing.

X-Files August 1st, 2007 3:54 AM

Indeed I know I used to write like that but also you can use micro soft word that helps alot with spelling errors and such also to the above post your right that is just what he needs I remeber writeing my story and ppl shoot them down so know im a hermit writer xd.

Avolition August 1st, 2007 10:22 AM

I also used to write like that. When I was six... >_>

Six year olds make useless posts like that as well.

Like I said in my previous post, lets help and encourage, not flame him. At least hes making and attempting a story, many are just reading and criticising. I read in the rules that constructive criticism is allowed, but many of you are just flaming, basically breaking the rules. C'mon guys step up and help out others. I'm sorry if its not my place to say this but it just gets me mad sometimes...

Pikachu Jr August 1st, 2007 1:16 PM

Thanks for the help, Ukballer and X-files! Im' really happy now!

I agree here.

Anyway, if you need a beta or something before posting the next chapter, just PM me. I'd give a full review on your story but no time.

Pikachu Jr August 1st, 2007 3:43 PM

um.. no need to be rude but, what does it mean to Pm someone?

Metallica_Freak August 1st, 2007 3:45 PM

you send a private message to them.

just click on their name and say send private message.

Did you not read the post Phanima made? He obviously chose to ignore it. I honestly don't care if he's 11, 16. 25, 93, etc. This is a forum, on the internet, and he indirectly opened himself up to criticism when he posted that story (because we all tell the truth about our ages online, right?). I'm not purposely trying to be rude; I simply get incredibly annoyed when writers blatantly disregard the reviews that were supposed to help them, expressing either blindness of the lack of enthusiasm to read that post. If he has trouble in certain areas of writing, why don't I see the effort to get better?

@Phanima

Are you reading this? I'm not going to sugar-coat things I say. I never do. I do apologize if I came off as offensive, but next time, please indicate an effort to improve or else I'll assume the worst. Age is no excuse. Act in a way you know will get you farther -- actually read the reviews.

Also, if you have difficulty writing, don't rush. Never rush. Take your time. A month, two months, three, I don't care. Trying to rush things will not earn you the recognition you desired in the fanfiction forum. If you find it that hard, perhaps try looking at other stories and see how they do it. We all started at some point. Good luck in the future.

How can he get better when you simply tell him to stop writing? Surely age must be a factor. Maybe because your writing and grammar skills are above many people your own age, does not mean that everybody has to try to match your standards. Turning something around doesn't happen overnight so a bit of patience wouldn't go amiss. Yes he has clearly ignored the reviews which he shouldn't, but maybe he didn't understand. At least he is trying, 1 thing more than a lot of people here do. You can clearly see people offering him help and he is now starting to take it which is good :). I do appreciate where your coming from, but why tell him to stop writing? I'm sorry but I don't think thats necessary.

Sorry for the essay, just stating my view :).

Lily August 2nd, 2007 1:22 AM

Because my age isn't a lie, right?

Because my post was meant for him to 'get better,' right?

Because if he ignored the first review, he obviously ignored my own, right?

Because, God forbid, when Lily says 'stop writing,' you should listen to her and completely halt in what might have been a successful writing career, right?

Because sarcasm rules, right?

Avolition August 2nd, 2007 1:41 AM

Wow, this is getting interesting. And spammy. *grabs popcorn*
