Truthfully, I don't understand this obsession with Amara. Julia is basically basing her life around her sister, yes sister hood, its not her fault she's like this...but if she's attacking you each time you meet, can it not be avoided by just ignoring her, unless its to defend herself?
I have older siblings, No one can put their hands on me without immediate/eventual retaliation, I'm sorry.
This mentality just doesn't click in my head.

update soon?

That is an intense Battle! And surprise Violet, Yvette and Geoffrey have come to cheer Caiseal on! The future is always unknowing, but for now to enjoy the time with friends. Keep up the good work!

Let's hope Yvette and Geoffrey get full custody of Violet and let's also hope Nollaig and Fergus get a life sentence behind bars.

I can't wait to see who gets to take on the Elite Four.

Glad to see you update this story again. We're getting closer and closer to an ending, and that means a champion will be crowned soon. Let's go over this chapter and see what we can find.

First off, glad to see Caiseal get the spotlight, facing off against Whitney's cousin, no less. I don't see as many interesting battling techniques, which was surprising given what we saw last time. I don't think what Gervasius did with the violin can be beat, but I still hoped to see something unusual. I definitely saw some interesting battling techniques, especially with Ravenclaw and Mallow. But overall, it's just mainly battling, which isn't bad per se, but I was just hoping for something more out of the box.

Next, glad to see Julia discuss with Perrine and Caiseal about their futures. Julia is going back to school, and she probably wants to know what will happen to the others. She is naturally nervous, given what she went through with Ethan. But overall, I think this is a more mature Julia going back to face the challenges. I'm just wondering if Ethan will go back with her, since he wasn't included in the conversation. Will he continue his journey the way he did in the show? Whatever the case, it'll make for an interesting epilogue if you choose to go that route.

Finally, glad to see the scene of Caiseal reuniting with his family. Violet is no longer living with those pathetic excuses of biological parents, and now will get a trial with Geoffrey and Yvette. I think, after all the tragedy Caiseal has throughout his life, some positives are showing and this sad chapter of his life can be put behind him. And not only does Violet become part of the family, they also take her to see Caiseal as a surprise, something that would have never existed in the past. So glad you put this ray of sunshine there, as it so refreshing to see, especially for Caiseal.

I can't wait to see what you will do for the next chapter. Please reach out if you want to discuss further. Hopefully I can help you with some future scenes, if you want assistance.

Update soon please?

Wait, I thought that Amara cussing out the Elder was a flashback, why does Julia know about it? I'm assuming it was implied the elder told her, despite no mentioning of it what so ever.

I wonder who that strange lady near the end of the chapter was.

Glad to see you update with another chapter, this one completely focused on battles. These tend to be more action-packed, but I still see some character development in there. On that note, let's begin!

First off, that was a really unusual ending with Caiseal. He won his battle but the opponent ended up assaulting him. I like how you linked that back with Julia, who had a similar battle against a trainer who took this way too seriously. It's good that you had Julia take the more mature approach, where she becomes introspective instead of lashing out at the trainer. I especially like the line where she said there's more to life than battling. I'm glad to see this maturation, so good on you for including that.

Next, I'm glad to see Perrine's battle, this time against an opponent with some unorthodox moves. Alex really put up a fight against Perrine, and his Pokémon did moves that we wouldn't expect. I always find it interesting that Octillery has such a wide arsenal of moves and move types. I used to call it the "beamer" Pokémon because it can learn so many moves with the word "beam" in it (ex: Hyper Beam, Bubble Beam, Ice Beam, Psybeam, etc.). I'm glad to see Perrine use her creativity and match Alex stride for stride, which is also maturation for her given how she got angry at Kitsune due to her own inflexibility.

Finally, I'm glad to see the groups still get along despite having to beat each other. Alex, Yue, and Zack all got eliminated early, but they all support Perrine, Caiseal, and Ethan. Maybe you should keep them in the audience with Julia, where they can offer their thoughts on how Caiseal's battle will be. There are a lot of strategies that are developed and refined, and I'd love to see how they match each person. Plus, I want to see how these strategies change and line up with each person's personal growth, so there's potential to expand on that as well.

I can't wait to see the next chapter where these things are put into play. I hope everything is going well in your city. Stay healthy (from the virus) and stay safe (from the protests), and see you soon.

Those were some of the most creative battles I have ever read, and I have been reading Pokémon fanfics for a while now! Well done!
