Excellent chapter.

I'm glad that Ash and his pokemon got evaluated by a genuine A-Class Connaisseuse. It's clear that she knows the strong relationship between Ash and his pokemon. As for the amourshipping thing, she might say that Serena also have a wonderful relationship with her pokemon.

I was sort of expecting Burgundy to be demoted from C-Class to D-Class. Then demoting her down to E or F-Class, then get expelled from PCA. But getting her expelled while she's in C-Class sounds too fast. But, she got what she deserve for breaking the bond between pokemon and trainer instead of helping strengthen it.

Here's the theory for the whole D-Class, E-Class, and F-Class connoisseur plot. They were a group of the underground connoisseurs that lacks discipline and less average than the C-Class. They're not allowed to evaluate pokemon and trainers bond at all. However, the chances of getting banned from Pokemon Connoisseurs Association is getting high. The lower of the ranking, the higher the chances of getting banned from Connoisseurs Association. Its kind of like they in detention. I like to call it "The Pokemon Connoisseurs Detention Center". A place where the D-Class,E-Class,and F-Class attend to learn from their past mistakes,and the workers of that center to make sure they learn properly of being the real connoisseurs before they can return to C-Class. In other words, their purpose is to discipline those who lacks their responsibility of being the real connoisseurs. One example of the punishing things that the workers may throw at the D-Class, E-Class,and F-Class connoisseurs is to put him/her into the mop-up duty like the janitor. That is if that person continues to act up. If the F-Class connoisseur continues to act up while in the F-Class ranking,that person will be truly expelled from Pokemon Connoisseur Association.

So, what do you think? I'm impressed with Cilan's evalautions, he deserve to be in the S-Class. As for Burgundy, she needs to realize that helping the trainer and pokemon (who might having trouble) strengthen the bond is the connoisseur's true responsibility. Not the other way around. Pokemon can do more than just battles. They also can perform on stages like in the contests,and showcases in the Kalos Region. Burgundy getting demoted will be the fitting punishment for a selfish and bratty connoisseur. You can have Ricard to be demoted also like from A-Class to B-Class if you want to. That is if Ricard being a real jerk. If he has, then the demotion will be your opportunity.

The thought of the Pokemon Connoisseur Detention Center plot is just a suggestion of those who been demoted/ranked down to D-Class.

Nice chapter.

I don't know much about Fire Emblem. But it's rather interesting see Nowi takes a liking to Ashy. A nickname for Ash.

You seem to use a lot of antonyms of what would normally go where the antonym is. Err, did that sentence make sense to you? Anyways, you seem to often use "sneer" where "smile" would fit better, and "scoff" instead of "snicker" or "snigger" (if you want to use a British term). This has happened in both stories of yours I've read. (The other was 12 days of AshMas Vol. 3.) If you need someone to look over your chapters to catch those issues, I wouldn't mind doing so, as long as it's something I'd read.

Huh. Now I want an epilogue... Ah well I guess...

This was so sweet. I really loved reading this.

This is a cute story. Ash has good taste in girls. I like how the Pokemon and Shepherds worked together. Your original character Ashley is creative too.

Good story. A bit rushed about Nowi's fall for Ash but she gets to know him. It fits that Ash is the trainer of a group of powerful elemental powered creatures and his new family are dragons.

...Please tell me that there'll be a return for an epilogue. Like, Nah's dad is Ash or something.

The chapter title makes no sense!

Keep up the good work

Uh-Oh!

Keep it up!

Well...I'm following this one.

Isn't Nowi older than Ash since he's ten when he was traveling with Iris and Cilan? o.o

The romance seems to be rushed at times :p
