Just finished all 15 chapters! I've gotta say, they are awesome so far! Some of my thoughts:

It's a bit weird that Dawn isn't coming with Piplup. They seem to be one package, just like Ash and Pikachu. I'm curious how her relationship with Mudkip will be, compared to the OG one with Piplup! Moreover, she is capable of using Aura, woot! This is really unexpected.

Paul is a protagonist here! (or at least, for now...) it's a good change of pace. There are too many stories with Paul acting mean all around.

There were some minor errors, e.g. when the championship semi-final happens between Cynthia and Lance, it was first written that Cynthia was against Diantha, but after that, it was all Lance. It's not a big problem, though!

I love how you express Pokemon voices with italic words. I find it really funny and enjoyable!

And finally... regarding the Pearlshipping! I love that Dawn is doing her cheerleading stuff for Ash. And as usual, Ash is as dense as ever, duh!

I'm looking forward to the future chapters, please keep up the good work!

Dawn truly sucks

Mike Tyson or Tyson or the fucking real Mike Tyson can you pick please

I'm really enjoying the story so far it's awesome great job and I know it's too soon yet but do u have an idea where or when ash can ask dawn out on a date also I'm enjoying the pearl shipping moments to I'm just glad to see a pearl shipping story since the website has been lacking Pearl shipping stories and all I mostly see is amour shipping stories instead of Pearl advance or even poke shipping stories lately especially last year to

When i think about it it makes sense Birch would be in contact with the elite 4 since he is the regional professor.
Quick question I can't remember if u mentioned this before or not but, who's the 8th gym (can't spell the name for the life of me) leader Wallace or Juan?

You know I've been wondering when will Ash catch a flying type? Cause it's been bugging me since that usually what he catches first in every region. Anyway's love the fluff it was nice.

Incredible absolutely Incredible a clean sweep not even I was able to do that against Roxanne in both Emerald and Omega Ruby

At some point have ash ask dawn out on a date and please do add more Pearl shipping moments between ash and dawn

I thought, Ash was 11? Slight typo there. As for the Pokemon moves, damn those are some good starting moves. You plan to add Mega's by any chance? Anyway's great start however I recommend adding gesture's and experessions with your character's a bit more like winking, smirking and the like. Cause I can see your Dawn doing that with Ash good naturally although not meaning more til later on there travel's.

This story is awesome I hope the next chapter comes soon I'm curious to see what will happen next please do continue

I see that Big Bang Theory reference you made with Ash saying what Sheldon did about being improbable instead of impossible

I really like the story! It’s great to meet a fellow Pearlshipper!

Can you please update this story

Dawn should tell ash she's an aura guradian to and can you add more Pearl shipping moments between ash and dawn to help their friendship and feelings for each other grow and eventually ash asks dawn out on a date

Paul’s nice. Also have Ash ask Riolu for Aura practice and Riolu finds out he can use Aura that way.
