thanks for waiting this Niji, I hope you write more pokemon related stuff! Have you read the pokemon special adventures, I feel you would enjoy them and all the opportunities they would give you for tales. Another beautiful story, and this time a rare coupling but i have a real fondness for this pair all because of this story. Having gone from knowing next to nothing and of course wanting more. but with the sad knowledge i am going to struggle to find anything close to par with this. I just have to hope you crete more :D

Oh my gosh this was the sweetest thing! I typically am not into romance stories, but yours really stuck and I can't get over how darned adorable Cilan and Iris are. Thank you so much for writing and sharing, this was a wonderful read :)

*flopps* you have my commute times down to a tee i swaer, this popped up as the train was leaving the station and i am one stoo away from mine so, this will be a quick one. touching, captivating, thrilling and both a heart warmer and jerker all at the same time. The best yet. Thank you Niji, I look forward to the last chapter and the next story. I know i won't be disappointed.

Ahhh, oh my goodness the ending of this chapter was just amazing! I can't say enough how well you've handled the pacing of the big reveal, not just in this chapter but through the whole story up until this point too. The other characters intervening (Chili and Dawn, and heck even Ash in his own Ash way) and the hesitation and denial on the part of Iris and Cilan, it all was just so well done, I'm sitting here grinning like an idiot. What a tasteful conclusion indeed! Time to read more!

awesome stuff as always, i particularly like how you portray tge elder and Drayden.

So I had to stop reading here for the night, but unlike Iris at the end of her night, I am left wishing I could keep going. This fic is just so lovely! I'm not terribly familiar with the versions of Iris and Cilan from the anime, but I have heard people grumble about their portrayal, and to that I would say that they should read your story instead because these two characters are fantastically written (and that does not take away from the charming way you've written the supporting cast of characters and pokemon as well!). I've laughed out loud more times than I can count, and the budding romance between these two is just a delight to read. We've all been there, two best friends from different worlds, but it was always something more than just best friends, no? Even without the mystery plot this still would be a completely enjoyable story. I will finish reading another time, but for now I wanted to commend you on a wonderful story thus far, and I am certainly looking forward to more!

i cant wait for chapter 12!this is ligit!

this...is...so...AWESOME! if Ash were there[when iris was about to confess]...it'll be like so awkward,anyway,exellent job on this

as always, I love it, I am looking forward to eyepatch man being developed as a character almost as much as the relationship between these two, its gonna be wierd but fun, keep up the amazing work

Wow!Eventually!

*flaps* cliff haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnger *flaps* I can't wait to see what happens next, your stuff is always so eloquent I really enjoy who you capture the detail in your tales!

I know nothing about Iris and Cilan however, like your other tales I am able to easily slide in and fell like I have known these characters like I do Ash and Misty. I really look forward to seeing where this goes and it's great fun actually not knowing the characters for a change. Keep up the amazing work. Rev

Amo este fichero, sigue así

I LOVED how you wrote Cilan's improvised way to get Iris out of there, and Iris' comments through her perspective was pretty funny too. I liked this chapter a lot, keep it up!

I'm really liking this story.
