Wait a minute previously that boy said he sensed two auras similar to kyrem. Kyrem says even though he can't see aura he can still sniff legendary pokemon out... N's bodyguards both stick together and they where perfume. THAT MEANS THEY ARE LEGENDARY POKEMON! ... but which ones?

This has been nice so far. I haven't been playing the Pokemon games in years, since post-middle-school I've felt they're too grind-y for a packed schedule. I haven't played Pokemon Black / White and it was nice seeing what's essentially a novelization of the game. It's really sweet and wholesome! I appreciate it, what with 2020. Keep up the good work!

You had me and immediately lost me when you brought levels into this. I get it's based on the game but fanfics always sound stupid when they start spouting off level nonsense and makes it impossible to take the fic seriously which really sucks because this was the best starts to a pokemon fic that I've ever read.

by ch 23... there are many unnecessary parts and hilda become less and less appear... i actually began to thinks that hilda is not the protagonist anymore and replaced by N and Hilbert...
but well... im still hooked and continue to read...

"And don't talk with your mouth full," Hilda countered. "Go on; put him down or I'm not getting you bacon for breakfast."
He narrowed his eyes at her, but then spat the man out onto the ground. By the lights overhead, they could see that he was covered in spit and probably bleeding from where the dragon's teeth had made contact. "You ******* *******!" the man said, sputtering. "How dare you deny the natural instincts of your Pokémon?"

I...wow. There's dumb and then there's that.

Pokemon really needs a NG option, where the starting areas restart at level 50-60, with the first gym at 65-70, and just ramp up from their, with the level cap being raised to 150 or so.
That would be awesome. Then you could totally fight the Gyms in Double and Triple battles with their whole team, where wiping them out with a sweeper that specifically counters their type would be a lot harder.

"Not on a large scale, anyhow. I didn't leave home for a crusade."

But the Saracens have taken Jerusalem! Deus Vult!

But...Psychic pokemon. They literally speak to people, well, in the anime and comics.

Man Ysa you totally nailed gen 7 in your a/n there.

Absolutly loved the story. Interesting relation between characters, and as rediculus as having Kyreum as a starter is, I wanted to see where you could take it and see Hilda try to take care of and train the legendary pokemon.

Then he turned into a human and started talking. -_- Aaaaaaand you lost me.

You know, I'm more curious to know what Legendary has never been used by any fanfic author as someone's starter. I'm most curious whether an author has thought of a plausible (on inplausible doesn't matter since it's fiction) reason for Arceus to be captured. Seriously that would be the most op starter possible.

I love this story.

It is a clichéstorm, but you play those clichés slightly differently than other stories, and make them work.

Its funny, i read 3 of your stories in a row, Clichestorm, its sequel, and Fleur Noir, and then i review'd them backwards, resulting in this review oddly being the latest one :D

Like your "Humor" tag implied, i had a pretty fun time reading this story. Hilda was a great character able to add color in even the least-fitting situations. The others offered relief in their own way too, even N, through his cluelessness about things :3

True to the story's name, you successfully tackled many different cliches that plague the official games, and various fics alike. There were not many points in the story where i felt like i was cliche-stormed (pun intended).

About the gods having the ability to assume an alternate human form, well i'll be honest and say that it felt really awkward, but i accepted it and completely understood its importance, since fitting a large scary dragon in so many plot-important places would be very uncomfortable, if not nigh-impossible. So after a while i got used to it.

The idea of digital storage was brilliant. I mean, people have the gall and technology to digitally store living beings, and they still use backpacks for simple items? Thats one funny thing when you think about it. Tho nothing beats that you cannot run without running shoes :F

Your way of portraying the pokeball's interior, being a digital copy of the pokemon's natural habitat so it feels like home, was something i had also thought about in the past. Though in a morally ideal world, i mostly considered pokeballs a practical device that serves as a portable home for the trainer's pokemon while he goes on his journey, rather than functioning as "prisons". I believe pokemon should have the option to enter and leave their balls on their own volition. I mean, even Kuyrem could not get out of his pokeball in a time of dire need (in the sequel :X). Knowing when it is a good or bad moment to release itself from its ball should be a part of the training imo.

I'm liking this story so far. Deconstructing the mary sue tropes is always good fun.

One little quibble. You referred to 'Fluff the petilil' in this chapter. Isn't Fluff supposed to be a cottonee?

Needed a few more battles, but overall a good read.
