I'm happy that you think so, Katherine. As for what was in the spoiler tags . . . I will neither confirm nor deny that.
Hmm... this style of writing vaguely reminds me of some J.K. Rowling (or some other good writer). Are you sure you're not her? (I don't know, you didn't give your gender.)Haley glared at her pack as if the sheer force of her gaze would make it lighter.
Jerry/Jeremiah seems a bit to cheery when Tyson said that. I know he's a happy-go-lucky type(presumably) but it just seems OOC in contrast with the seriousness on the previous day.Shall we go, then?" Haley was surprised to hear Jerry speaking. "We're all here, so there's no sense beating about the bush, right?"
"You were going to tell us about that Avos person," Tyson reminded him.
"Yep," said Jerry. "Just wait until we're on the boat." He began to walk, and they hurried to catch up, Matthew sloping silently along as usual.
I love filler. It makes the story seem like it's set in the real world and that the protagonists are not the centre of the Universe and that no matter how you look at it, the world continues to change around us.Haley looked back over Sunyshore. Closest to the ship was Domain Road, Sunyshore's famed beachfront restaurant strip. Being early in the morning, only a few establishments were open. Open or not, there was almost nobody around. With the morning sun reflecting off a hundred glass windows along the curved street, Domain Road looked like a multifaceted golden diamond.
Beyond Domain Road, the glittering spires of the CBD rose above the rest of Sunyshore. Commercialism was becoming a major part of life in the city, with many big-name corporations moving in each year.
Apart from the fact that Jerry seems to swing from happy to serious to happy to serious, the part 'Jerry sighed.' bugs me a little. Correct me if I'm wrong but something doesn't seem right. It sounds like Jerry was doing the talking in the last sentence. If he was, it should be another line."Who was that yesterday?" Haley asked. "You mentioned something about . . . what was it? Avos?" Jerry sighed.
Yes I'm sadistic. This part really caught my attention due to the gore involved."No," he said quietly. "Recently, there've been a lot of reports of large colonies of wild Pokémon killed in some horrible way or another. Whether it's toxic gases, shredding blades or bullets, there are rarely any survivors. The Cult of Avos is the prime suspect, but there's never enough evidence to press charges. The government's been trying to keep it quiet, but it hasn't really been working."
Why thank you!*I'm back*
Oh great, another chapter.
Well, for fics that I like, I usually give my review to honor the author in some way so here goes.
I can assure you now that I'm not a published author of any kind, so I'll take that as a compliment, I guess? Now you mention it, though, that does sound a little like something Rowling would write. I think I have been subconsciously influenced due to my recent rereads of the HP series.Hmm... this style of writing vaguely reminds me of some J.K. Rowling (or some other good writer). Are you sure you're not her? (I don't know, you didn't give your gender.)
Well, he's not bipolar, I can assure you that. He just gets mood swings, but is generally cheery. When the Cult of Avos comes up, for example, he gets serious. He's had some bad experiences with them in the past, which as you can see he's not willing to talk about at the moment.Jerry/Jeremiah seems a bit to cheery when Tyson said that. I know he's a happy-go-lucky type(presumably) but it just seems OOC in contrast with the seriousness on the previous day.
You would not believe how long it took me to write that. But it was so much fun.I love filler. It makes the story seem like it's set in the real world and that the protagonists are not the centre of the Universe and that no matter how you look at it, the world continues to change around us
It is Haley speaking there, but it bugs me too. See, logically, 'Jerry sighed' should not be getting its own line, as it's not actually a separate idea (i.e. he's sighing at what Haley said). For now, all I can do is try and avoid that situation, unless someone points me to a grammatical rule to contradict what I've learned.Apart from the fact that Jerry seems to swing from happy to serious to happy to serious, the part 'Jerry sighed.' bugs me a little.

Yes, I am too. You'll be glad to know we'll be investigating this further.Yes I'm sadistic. This part really caught my attention due to the gore involved.
I just had to inject some humour into an otherwise serious scene, didn't I? You don't think it killed the mood, do you?I love how the last line of this chapter is, "His boss scared him sometimes." XD
Thank you kindly. Realism is one thing we don't see enough of in fanfiction, and I'm honoured you think I've achieved that.I say I like the chapter a lot, mostly as it's from Haley's point of view. Seems like she has some doubt about this journey, which of course everyone does if they're going on an adventure for the first time. I like the realistic approach to that.
I'm not quite following you here . . . *is febrile*The last part is interesting also. Now I'm wondering which side plays the antagonist role, and which side plays the protagonist role…
Tahnkoo, com agen! ^_^ Thanks for reviewing!So far everything's looking good here. Sorry for no criticism as everyone else pretty much beat me to it. XD
Sparkling Dragon said:"Can you hold this in place for me?" she asked, gesturing to the spotlight. Shaking his head in exasperation, he took it and placed it beside the camera.
"Duct tape?" he prompted.
I couldn't agree with Samuel more, even though he is a bloody-handed murderous Galactic Grunt! By the way, does he have a Glameow or a Zubat?Sparkling Dragon said:This information, too, was fed into the computer, which used the information to add to its fully rendered 3-D model of the room.
The technology involved was truly wonderful, he reflected as he checked the laptop's display.
Can you keep a count of how many times people say Oof?Police Commando said:"Oof!"
Sparkling Dragon said:"OK," Haley said, "but don't be long. I need someone to talk to!" Fair enough, Tyson reasoned as he turned the doorknob. Jerry's still talking to the captain, and Matthew hardly makes for good conversation. He felt a little guilty leaving his sister with that weirdo, but it was only for a few minutes, after all.
"You're messing with my head, you crazy psycho!" he yelled. This wasn't right. She was manipulating him somehow.
Am I missing something or is this a bit repetitive. You could have putMatthew was a really strange guy, he reflected. He barely said a word, and always
'cloaking flipping slightly in the breeze'?Standing right behind him was a familiar green-clad figure, cloaking flipping slightly in the breeze.
Is this hypnosis? If so, you portrayed it subtly and perfectly. To me, it seems a bit OOC that Tyson would act this way unless being manipulated.But then again, he reasoned, why do I need to tell them? I have a strange feeling that this is . . . not something that needs to be shared. Bizarre. No, he decided, he was not going to tell Jerry and the others about this. Not even Haley.
I don't remember anyone in Team Galactic ever referencing"Cyrus will be pleased."
