Well, it's not like I didn't expect anything to go wrong in the rescue attempt. I just didn't think it would be such a bloody massacre. And the part with Felicia was the worst of all.



Also, if I were captured and my skin were made of lava, I think my first instinct would be to burn my way out. I'm surprised it took the Slugma kid so long to think of it.

…not to mention that it was obvious that there is no way a group of kids with some scraps of Pokémon powers facing off against a group of armed men who want to kill them are going to do anything but lose horribly.



It was planned as a miserable failure, though I didn't fully decide who was going to bite it until I was writing the chapter.



Mostly, the only reason they got Felicia in the first place was Jack's "have her sniff out where they took Gabriel" idea; at that time they weren't actually thinking about doing a lot of fighting to begin with, figuring if they found the place they could probably sneak in mostly unseen and try to take them by surprise, and by the time they were truly starting to appreciate how dangerous this was, they were back in Grace City and it would be nearly an hour's drive one way to Peter and Katherine's place (a ranch outside of Taillow Springs).



At least that's my in-universe excuse, but the reason I didn't have any Pokémon other than Felicia appear, neither on the morphs' side nor the church's, was really because I honestly just didn't want this to turn into a huge Pokémon battle; it would take the focus away from the actual characters you know and are supposed to care about. Felicia works for effect, when she seems like what's going to turn everything around and save them but then just gets shot before she manages to do anything, but I don't think having another Pokémon involved would really do anything for the story, and so I try to arrange things such as to make that plausible.

holy moly. first off, you read a series of unfortunate events, so that makes you even more awesome in my head. secondly, i didnt even know about the morphic until today, and i just read the entire thing up until the now finished chapter. PLEASE FINISH THIS!!! KEEP WRITING THIS INSTEAD OF THE QUEST FOR THE LEGENDS!!! PLEASE, I NEED TO KNOW THE ENDING!!!

btw, you are an amazing writer. =D

Looking again, it was even more obvious - Jack thinks it will "all work out fine?" You've had this planned, huh?

Also, why didn't Peter bring Lily? I realize she would have died too, just asking.

Bwahahaha, it amuses me that everyone didn't see this coming. This is Butterfree we're talking about, morbidity is her specialty. Sure, this makes me sad, but surprising? No. Only because you're the writer though. It's shocking, but not surprising.

Yay Gabriel! I started laughing when he tried to eat because it seemed a bit obvious he needed to absorb it. WIll was not one of my favorite characters… Katherine was also pretty normal in ranking, but Mia… now that's disappointing. And Felicia. I'm glad Peter isn't dead though, I love him.

Ouncier = ounce (another word for a snow leopard) + glacier

Shardus = shadow + pardus (another word for a leopard)

Oh my goodness. That was disgustingly morbid! How the hell do you sleep at night?

Jahu: ReoPokeRanter is counting the extra games. There were four games in the first generation (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow), though one wasn't released outside of Japan; there were five games in the third generation (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, LeafGreen); and there were likewise five games in the fourth generation (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver).



But I'm not putting it in the section for the reasons explained at the top of it.

[04/06/2010 19:53:33]

Leafpool

Jahu: No. Gen 1 had Red, Blue, Japanese Green and Yellow. Gen 2 had Gold, Silver and Crystal. Gen 3 had Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed and LeafGreen. Gen 4 had Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver. :/

[04/06/2010 19:53:14]

Jahu

@ShadowNC: DYING to find out? Ha. Hahaha. Hahahahaha. >_>



@ReoPokeRanter: *er-hem* You, sir/ma'am, are WRONG:



GenI: Red/Blue/YELLOW

GenII: Gold/Silver/CRYSTAL

GenIII: Ruby/Sapphire/EMERALD

GenIV: Diamond/Pearl/PLATINUM



so thar

and for everyone in America(or in my time zone at least)there's a marathon for the three most recent movies starting at 11:00.That's The Rise of Darkrai through Arceus and the Jewel of Life.

@ReoPokeRanter: It says in the Fun Facts section: "Secondly, no, I do not want you to e-mail me more fun facts to put here." I think that applies here too, yes?

I was randomly reading through the Old Updates page and saw how the affliates script got fixed because of you adding Pokemon Acanthite to the affliates list, and I realized I had actually met one of the owners at a Shaymin event and beat them in a Pokemon battle! (It was 3v6 (I had the 3), I won with only one Pokemon fainted.) Fancy that.
