Don't fret over the sudden ending, this is only the FIRST HALF of the set. It ended up being extremely long because I had too much I wanted to put into it. Oh, well.

Also, fair warning, I'm not a doctor, so if any of the medical terminology or time frames are off, consider it "Pokemon logic" and let me be. I was sick with the flu while working on this, so eh. That's also my excuse for why the beginning portions look so non-descriptive. You can clearly see where I was starting to feel better; the art took a quality jump ^^;.

This half is the "sad" half. Arguments, misinterpretations, tears, and angst all around. Tepi's becoming a surly teenager, heh heh heh. Vast has one of his thoughtless moments again and hurts Crystal's feelings. Chikoru has never been this confused before in his life. Fright sheds unmanly tears but finally feels like part of the team, since everyone's forgiven him (not that they ever blamed him). He's growing up, mentally. And Ampi apparently has ADHD.

Tepi OHKO'd my catch for Route 35 thanks to a magical crit (so no Nidoking for me, wah), then again, extrasensory was not the best move to use against a poison type. ^^; I also found the TM for Payback on this route and taught it to Vast (that didn't make it in for reasons). None of the trainers on this route are worth mentioning either. :shrug:

The other half will be done either late late LATE tonight or tomorrow sometime.

ANGST, ANGST EVERYWHERE D:

Okay, first of all, I'm glad Crystal is alright. I have never seen Chikoru look as worried and devoted as he does in that panel with his head on Crystal's bed. Awww.

Secondly, I'm curious: Is the gang getting arrested and licenses revoked because they attacked Crystal, or because they killed Roxxi? In my version of the Pokemon world, it would have been because of both, but if that were true for yours, then there would have been consequences to Falkner for Patti's death way back when. I know we've already had an extensive conversation about this, but for some reason I can't help probing the issue further :P

Also, I had a question about something minor; you keep using both "god" and "Arceus" in dialogue...is that a mistake, or are those two words interchangeable in your run? Or does one mean something different from the other?

...What is with me today. Okay, I promise I'll say something actually relevant to the story now.

I really like how everything is playing out. The tension between the characters feels very real, and Tepi does have a fair point, although to be honest I'm a little surprised that the "brother" is being more protective than the father. Everything Crystal said is true, too--as the Trainer, it's her call to decide who gets to fight and who doesn't. Fright's resolution with Crystal was good too; I was worried something bad was going to happen between him and his teammates due to some sort of miscommunication, but it looks like it turned out alright with him after all. Seeing him cry made me sad though. I was also pleasantly surprised by the haircut brothers' reaction to Crystal being in the hospital. I totally thought they were going to either not be aware of it, or refuse to take responsibility for what happened. But it turns out they're genuinely good guys. That's nice. :)

In terms of artwork, I honestly cannot see a difference between the "good quality" half and the "bad quality" half. It all looks equally good to me. :shrug: I will, however, take this opportunity to tell you that I've been rereading your Nuzlocke just for the fun of it, and WOW has your art gotten better since you started this. I mean...really. It's not BAD, but it's just...not nearly as good, either. xD
With this set, I particularly like the first frame with Crystal waking up (from her POV, with Chikoru's head at her feet), the two of crying Fright (well drawn, even if it made me sad!), and the one of Tepi turning around with that look of fury on her face. That one might be my favorite, actually.

Now then, for some minor issues/questions~

Crystal's reaction to Roxxi's death didn't seem very realistic to me. Unless she somehow suspected that something like that would happen, she should have at least initially been shocked or horrified at the news. The comforting of Fright should have come later. Not too much later, just...late enough to have given Crystal some time to at least digest the information herself.

Tepi's little hissy fit went on waaay too long. Like...that whole third bubble probably wasn't necessary. As sympathetic as I felt towards her situation, the length and quality of that speech just makes her come off as...well, a self-absorbed teen. It'd be one thing if that's how we were meant to perceive her, but I think the idea here is that we're supposed to sympathize with her, since Chikoru is clearly in the wrong (even though he has good intentions).

Also, Vast's outburst was fine, but the line "stop with all this shit" seems like much more of a Chikoru thing to say. Having Vast swear in that context seems out of character for him.

...Aaand a couple spelling errors, but that's about it. Nothing big. :D (I'm trying to give better quality criticisms now. I hope I didn't go too overboard...^^;)

On to part 2~! :dummy:
