This had me worried for a moment to have Team Rocket go back to being bad guys. I didn't think the laugh needed to be a givaway cuz' that what got me worried. Perhaps they could've helped them out and confessed their actions but I see what you were doing in this, just like in the episode. And I'm glad May got to listen to Meowth's little backstory. She's just the best girl to have in this story. She cares about everyone.

We owe you a lot for giving us this story and long chapters. Thank you!

I'm so happy to see this back. Wow, 2 chapters? You had a lot going for a whole year, eh? Its quite a thoughtful holiday present. Thank you. And wow, so glad you took my idea to this. I forgot until I realized Ash getting flustered seeing May's green two-piece. I think its her best one. :D And Jessie does the same? XD Nice!

I was worried how Ash snaps at his friends after his loss but in a good way cuz' I remember it from the episode as well. Love this chapter, good to have you back.

thanks for the chapter! quite enjoyed it

Sweet, glad to see another fantastic chapter from you as I was kinda worried this would've faded into obscurity but hey, I'm relieved it didn't. Also liked how you handled how everyone got separated from one another in the chapter and balancing out Max not being in the group, not to mention how May's Azurill evolved into Marril towards the end along with Ash once again tapping into Aura which is way better than it being a one-and-done in the actual series and it also being a big-lipped alligator moment to boot since Ash never brings it up nor did Brock. Also good to see the group also meeting Zinnia and discovering the Murals from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire as well, not to mention Jessie's crush on Steven being shown much sooner than in the canon series. Makes me curious on if you'll use the movies in the story later on, from Jirachi Wish Maker onwards, including the infamous Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon Special (I highly doubt you will include Pokémon, I Choose You! or Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution, not sure what to make about The Power of Us though but I really do hope you'll use Lucario and the Mystery of Mew as I loved Ash and May's outfits from that movie and Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea due to loving the bond May had with Manaphy and the possibility of her being a descendant of the People of the Sea). I especially love the revelation of Ash being a descendant of the Aura Guardians big time and hope to see how Ash and May's respective trainings will go, even more so as I also bet we may see Steven's Aggron and maybe his shiny Metagross in the near future as well.

Whoa, talk about intense... especially with Ash still losing his battle against Brawly as per canon and having a bit of a falling out with May, glad things turned out well between them and hopefully Treecko, Taillow and Ralts will be okay in the end. Still, it was good to see the training Ash and the others went through as well as their Pokémon, even May's Wurmple evolving into Silcoon sooner than in the original story which would mean we might be getting Beautifly sooner as well depending on what happens. On the other hand, I remember how in canon, Treecko and Taillow ended up okay in the end so I am sure they and Ralts will be just fine themselves, still glad that you decided to have Brawly use his team from Pokémon Emerald specifically instead of the lineup he used in the original Ruby and Sapphire (which the anime also used as did Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire). Also curious to see how Butch and Cassidy's involvement would affect Ash and his friends' journey through the Hoenn region compared to what we got with Jessie, James and Meowth in canon.

How can they be lovers if this stupid story is rated k like seriously get some action going

This was a great chapter. I am looking forward to the next one.

nice chapter! love the story telling

I really enjoyed this chapter it's been a long time I read this and even tho it was a long time that this story got updated for a new chapter it was worth the wait especially how long it took to finish this chapter u did a fantastic job but please don't take another year or to just for updating 1 chapter I'm looking forward to next chapter keep up the good work and can you do another advance shipping or Pearl shipping story where may or daware the main pairing and they travel through the Kalos or Aloha region for the first time together

Wow, I am really glad to see this story is still going as I was becoming a bit worried that it died off but nevertheless I am grateful you were able to continue it and hopefully I can do my best to make my Pokemon: Rise of Heroes story as good.

I look forward to seeing more Advanceshipping moments to come along with the trio continuing their path to good and definitely enjoyed Brock and Misty catching the Sharpedo leader. Oh and I was surprised to see the Gyarados submarine return but in a good way since it sucked Jessie, James and Meowth never used it anymore past season 1 as we mostly see the Magikarp one from season 2 used more.

i can't wait for ash to see may in her green bikini

When are goino to update this story

Awwww, yay! A remake of advance generation, wooohooo! That's so awesome and I'm glad you're doing it! :D I'm glad someone is finally doing this!

This is really good so far!X) I cannot wait to read the rest!

I just would like to give one critique, that you should have something like line breaks when you change scenes of Ash and May! That will make things easier for your readers! Oh, also, sometimes, when a new person is talking it is still in one paragraph. I'd just change these two things, but besides that, I am LOVING THIS!

Great job, and great idea so far! Woohoo, on to the next chapter! :D

Yesss you updated! You wrote a lot in this chapter and I love it but I can't believe may wants the trio to come along now I wonder how things are going to play out with everyone

Great to see this fanfic is finally updated after so long another great chapter I enjoyed it I think at some point misty should talk to ash about her feelings towards ash even though she knows ash and may are together I think ash deserves to know the truth and just to get that extra weight off her so she won't always feel depressed I know I'm a an advance super but there's a part of me that really dose like misty and I do like poke shipping but I'll always support ash and may
