Cool opening to the chapter. Nice to see Omori and Yurie mentioned.

Nice development of these betting battles. Interesting concept.

Enjoyed Gonzolt’s character in particular. Clint screwed him over good at the end, haha.

Cool chapter! Nice twist to have Clint leave the side characters at the end of the last chapter, only for him to return. Fun battle and interesting explanation of the Dynamax den being in Kanto too, certainly possible. Also, nice to see your Code character again. Always cool to see characters return.

Nice character-centric chapter. Enjoyed the dialogue throughout, exploring Clint’s motivation later on, and the play trope were an interesting twist and had interesting motivations themselves. Great work!

Short and sweet. Having the boy read Tentacruel’s mind was an interesting and enjoyable twist.

Pokémon very nicely described. Strong difference between the two, haha.

Very enjoyable battle. Even though Clint’s Pokémon aren’t the strongest, he’s got some smart strategies to even the playing field against Haruto. I really liked that finish too; always nice when the environment comes into play. Great stuff! Furret getting close to hit Flamethrower was clever too.

Liked the ‘That boy’s got enough confidence to inflate a Drifloon’ comment. Gurdurr househusband/wife funny too.

I’m really curious about the Team Rocket letter and Tentacruel now too, a great intriguing end. Fantastic stuff!

This was pretty enjoyable to read. I especially liked the last battle. It was an easier flow in comparison to the Dynamax battle in the prior chapter.

I’d kind of like a slice of life chapter for Clint. When he described what happened at the contest hall, I was kind of bummed, because that’d be a great full chapter to read.

So, are these two chapters connected? It made it seem like Clint had left the group at the end of the last chapter. Did he come back? I'm slightly confused.

Is this the same Code from chronicles?

I'm interested in how people write the Dynamax battles. I'm not sure how I'll approach it, so this was fun to read. Hoping that you plan on posting more of Clint's little stories in Kanto.

Cool chapter. Nice battle and an enjoyable surprise appearance at the end of the chapter. :D

I had a rather loud and real "OH F***" when I read "She drowned while riding him." Took me by surprise, and I instantly understood some of Tentacruel's pain.

I really love that Clint is trying to learn the customs of Kanto. It's really touching. I kind of love the idea of Logan teaching Clint about customs that he's learned from Yurie and Seshiru. I think it'd be incredibly cute.

"Clint didn't add that he already forgot her name." - I have never related to another OC more in my life. I literally lol'd.

I already know how (most of the) the league is going to play out, but now I'm rooting for Clint.

Cool cool. I like it. Good use of Haruto's skills. I'll make sure to promote your story again in an upcoming chapter.

At first, I was thinking that you should have divided the battle and the scene at the bar into two different chapters, but the cliff hanger with Cliff being sent a letter by Rocket made the chapter as it was work. I'm interested in why Tentacruel is acting the way that he/she is. And I'm interested in what kind of confrontation Cliff is going to have with the rocket characters (if he does).

I really like Clint's character. I'm excited to see what else you'd end up writing for him. And his selection of Pokemon is incredibly interesting and unique. I was kind of hoping that Tyrogue would evolve into a Hitmontop in this battle.
Great use of Burn Up.
It cracked me up how Clint couldn't use the chopsticks. Reminded me of my own dad.

Technical criticism - When you write "_ is unable to battle. _ is the winner." Make sure you have a period instead of a comma, since they're two independent thoughts. If you're feeling spicy, then having a semi-colon would also work.
When describing Pokemon, I personally don't like to use words like "dog-like" or "cat-like" because that seems too on the nose. However, I think descriptive words like "canine" or "feline" work because I think it has a broader feel to it. When describing Arcanine, I would go with "a canine Pokemon." But, this is just me. Other people have their own rules when describing Pokemon.

Small detail, but Logan isn't blonde. He has dark brown hair.

I liked it. I liked it a lot.
Although Clint's appearance in my story was rather short, I really enjoyed writing him, so I'm very happy to see that his journey has continued in some sort of way. Did this take place in Kanto?
I've been a bit down recently, so I do really appreciate this. It kind of made me happy to see another writer writing something that takes place in the "Kokoro Universe" or whatever I'm calling it. So, thank you.

Clint's line about how he shares his son's handsome visage especially made me laugh.

My criticism, if anything, is consistency. I say you should go back and read through this outloud. Sometimes, you call Mr. Lightning, Mr. Lighting. Sometimes you spelled Timer Ball, Timerball or Timer ball. Just remain consistent with how you write it out. If you want to write it timer ball, Timerball, Timer Ball, or Timer ball, it doesn't matter. As long as you write it the same way every time.

Interestingly this came up in my recommended at the end of reading another story. Ironically, not when reading one of Kokoro’s piece, but that mention certainly caught my eye in the blurb.

I liked Clint’s character (the dialogue was often amusing and that helped here) and the father-son dynamic that leads to the situation happening in the first place was good to read.

I do like that Zeraora was captured in a Timer Ball—suggests that ze was hard to capture. I liked how you described Zeraora too. Zeraora came to mind with the lightning and the monkey-like appearance, but I wasn’t sure until you revealed ze’s name.

I thought the battle sequences were very well described, and I liked how Clint had to use all his team to take Zeraora down. You depicted Zeraora’s strength very well!

A very enjoyable read overall.
