Read more The world of pokemon is synonymous with young boys and girls going on a journey and facing many challenges. This story is not like that. This story is about a SI coming into one of the most prominent companions of the pokemon world. Unlike other stories, Brock is already established and has gone on his journey. He's faced challenges and returned home to be other people's challenges. Which, there's a lot more to than most people realise.Explore an alternate pokemon universe with an expanded cast and more mature ideals through the eyes of Brock, Gym Leader to Pewter City Gym, and family man. Collapse Fanfiction, Pokemon, Male Protagonist, Weak to StrongYes, just yes.This is such a breath of fresh air. I've read some of the Pokemon stories here to try something different from the usual regressing/transmigrating/reincarnating/cultivation/fantasy novels that have filled my story library. But when they try to make them realistic they often miss the mark significantly and ruin it.But this... This is a well thought love song to the Pokemon world. It blends reality seamlessly into the original charm so that it feels like it comes to life. It's got enough of the gritty side to be just realistic enough to pull off the warm environment evoked by the setting.There is romance, at first it seems like it might be a harem but no, his significant other is not going to be permitting that in just the perfect hint of Yandere fashion appropriate to her character.The MC isn't perfect, but in spite of that he is well enough written that it just feels appropriate without becoming annoying and you can really taste how the transmigrator blended into Brock's original personality.Do yourself a favor, give it a read, it's worth the time spent at least to the current posted chapter 159.whOA! oh wow, a sincere review? of a decent fanfic?! what happend?It's really good. Though for me personally, I didnt like it that MC was brock because it messes up lots of things for the anime plot, A rock type specialist isnt my cup of tea either. Story Development- there really isnt much I think. The novel starts when Brock has already established himself, even becoming stronger than champion Lance. Well, his family drama did make it more interesting. Characters- The characters are well thought of. It gives more substance. Even the new brock, just the new personality he has made it interesting. Though I wasnt that much excited because Im not very much interested on a rock type specialist, I still think its very awesome. I hope though that in this story, he doesnt go travelling with Ash. If possible, he travels alone and strengthen his pokemon more because theres so much potential in this story. Wished i could read more. I give it a 4.7/5Story Development: A 4/5 only because the Background of the World, Quality of Writing and Characters improve it from a 3.5/5. The Story Dev. is eh. It's not slow nor fast but given that this was only published here 28 days ago the Story Development will be slow. Writing Quality: Only thing I can really say is too many words that I forget what's what. Besides that a solid 4/5 at the bare minimum.World Background: Its Pokémon. The rating is whatever you think it is.Character Design: Well...it's Pokémon cant say much about that. So same as above I guess? I do like how we don't start at the beginning of MC's life and rather....maybe almost a year or 2 behind canon? Not to sure about the time but it should be around thereTidbits: I do like how somewhat early on we can see how the MC has affected the world. Plus the relationship MC and Sabrina has is wholesome asf. I SWEAR TO GOD IF THEY DONT GET TOGETHER DESPITE THE AUTHOR CLEARLY DOING THATWHY, everyone of these stories coming out of the fanfiction genre has people taking over characters in the series. If you are a fan of these series as the authors portray themselves as CREATE A DAMN OC. They need to stop f#cking up all these series.Actually, it's a very nice take on Brock's life, how he is to be a Gym Leader, sibling/father of 9 others, an engine for his town, a great trainer, and still find his own place in it all.This Brock is intelligent, not lustful, is realistically a great trainer and gym leader, and a caregiving father figure. So I think the character has been chosen well for this story, nowhere else in Pokemon do you have a character so good to write about, so rich in backstory. The anime just failed him. Here is his rightful story.Yeah sure but this is interesting is it not? We're not reading MC as Ash any other characters. We're reading MC as Brock a popular and cool character from the Pokémon Franchise. It's interesting to see how everything will play out as MC has knowledgeable of the Games( Strategies and what not), Animes, and the Comics. This also takes place a year or 2 before canon meaning we're in the middle of MC's life which is newI find the story very enjoyable because it is written well and has an interesting concept of him being a gym leader. The chapters are long and thought out with characters being built up and emotions seeming logical.Thing some people may not like are he has already developed a bit and it takes place after he has already caught a lot of pokemon. He is not really op and their also doesn’t seem to be any R-18 if that is your thing.For a pokemon fanfic its a good one but im not to far yet so it may get worseI pretty much agree with what this guy said.You can nitpick some stuff about it. For example, there's some power fantasy around the edges, and there's some uneven pacing at parts, but overall its a fun read.I rate it 5 outta 5.Kewl. back<<
