Oh, I still had to finish this story, time for the epilogue!
It's very interesting but also very fitting that Iris would come and visit the Aboriginal Dragon at times, and that she, Cilan and Benga feel a connection with him. Iris is going to become Champion, that is also not a surprise, and the conversation with Benga was also very interesting. I think you did a good job showing that everyone has a bit of good and a bit bad stuff in them.
Aww, what a beautiful ending. I liked the conversation with Hilda very much as well. She needs closure, and I can understand why she hadn't wanted to know what N had told Iris even though she had asked. That must it even more heartbreaking for her. But Cilan is right, what's in the past has passed, and we can only work on the future. And you ended that very beautifully, really well done.
Thank you very much for finishing this story, that's really something to be proud of :D Thank you, and keep writing! !

This was an amazing story and it really portrayed war itself really well. I feel like the end was a bit rushed but it still worked. I feel like you could've went deeper into the climax of the war because that's where the most violence occurs but it still ended great. (not for the characters though)

It's an update! That's so awesome! ...I do hope I still remember enough about the story... *reads old review* Aha, looks like I was right about the chapter title xD
Depressing first bit, although very true for any war.
Splitting up is always a bad idea, but I have a very bad feeling about this one, wat with the italics bit before it. Surely Burgundy isn't going to die?
I'm not quite sure if I'm supposed to know what Hilda was about to say, because I can't remember it. Nonetheless, Burgundy turning herself in did save the Elder from further questioning.
Well, Burgundy's lie worked pretty well, though I have to admit I was afraid it wouldn't. At least Burgundy is going after the rest, but I'm afraid Benga knows something is up.
Whoa, things are surely moving fast, I hadn't expected that they would get to Mount Taima in this chapter. And they do need to hurry, it's getting really exciting!
Whoa, I had not expected that this would be the end already! I mean, as I was reading it, it did seem like a climax, but I think it was because it's been so long since I've read the previous chapter that I only got it was the end when I actually got there. But N! I had not seen that coming, and I'm curious if we get more of an explanation. Though, with the title of this chapter, I suppose we should be happy not more people died.
Thank you very much for updating, I'm really looking forward to that epilogue and I hope you update soon! Keep writing! ! !

Some people might not like it, but in war, people die. RIP N.

I love it! This is so great and I'm so glad that I'd decided to read this after coming across it. The characters are well-written and the plot is interesting. It kept me hooked to it, especially after the plot started getting deeper. I'm really hoping you are updating soon; and even if you do update late, I'm willing to wait as I intend to follow this anyway.

...Okay. The first scene with Iris and N made no sense. Is Nadie the Elder?
reppad98 chapter 11 . 8/29/2017
Oh, you updated! :D
Ah, so it's Trip or Georgia who's writing the first bits, unless you're having multiple people write those pieces... If not, I'm betting on Trip, he was my second choice after Cilan, but I was doubting it was him at some points because he sounded less formal than Cilan usually does.
Iris wanted to show Cilan the tape, obviously, and I was also wondering about Dragonite. I hope they'll be able to find him at some point. I don't think Iris will want to return to the Truth Seekers... Nope, she wants to go find Kyurem, that's right. Looks like all five of them are going now, I already expected that Iris waking up Cilan wouldn't go unnoticed. Going to the Village of Dragons indeed makes sense, and I'm curious as to what the Elder has to say when she has heard the whole story.
And now the others also know about the history between the Draconid and the Truth Seekers, finally.
Oh wow, Iris and Cilan's relationship... They definitely took a huge jump here, yeah, I had not expected that they would actually have sex. But Iris is indeed a person of action... And well, the meeting between Reshiram and Zekrom went well, so I suppose that their actions did help with that.
Also, Georgia and Burgundy...? I have to admit, I did notice something, but it was definitely subtle.
Benga doesn't really sound like a bad guy, but like Hilda said: he used shady tactics that were caught on camera.
Oh, and I'm not sure if I should be looking forward to the next chapter, considering you like to have opposite themes in your chapter titles, which would mean that the next chapter title would be 'What Dies' and well, that doesn't sound very cheery... But we'll see, who knows, it might be Ghetsis's death XD
Thank you very much for updating, I hope you update soon again, and keep writing! ! !
tinybabyleafs chapter 11 . 8/26/2017
oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no oH NO

Just when things were starting to go RIGHT! Now "something's happening"? What is this something? Is it bad? I know it's bad. I just know it. Ohhhh boy. Next chapter is going to be eventful... Ah, who am I kidding? They're always eventful.

*deep breath*

They did the deed.

*significantly deeper breath*

THEY HINTED AT GEORGIA AND BURGUNDY ALSO DOING THE DEED, IF I READ THAT RIGHT.

*screams with joy at the inclusion of my lovely Sourgrapes* I was lovin the platonicishness of it in the beginning, but NOW IT'S EVEN BETTER! Now you're giving me Sourgrapes feels which ISN'T EVEN WHY I'M READING THIS FANFICTION but I DON'T CARE IT'S ALL THE BETTER BECAUSE OF IT WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Is it bad that a single line from Iris about Georgia and Burgundy is my single favorite part of this chapter regardless of how eventful it is otherwise...?

OH! Wait. It's not my FAVORITE favorite part. No, my FAVORITE favorite part was the part when Georgia, Burgundy, and Trip were all "friennnnnndsssss" and everything was warm and fuzzy! It was super sweet, and it made me so happy to know that Iris finally realized just how supported she really is, especially with how badly she'd been needing that.

*whispers* when will N return from the war

it's been exactly one (1) chapter since I've seen him and already I've missed his presence greatly :'c my poor innocent boy has been Tricked and Lied To :'c

As always, lovely lovely lovely chapter and I'll be hungrily awaiting the next coming Friday...!
reppad98 chapter 10 . 8/23/2017
Hm, at first I thought it was Cilan writing those entrance bits, or otherwise someone else from their company, but now it seems that bit is from... Shauntal?
So, Cilan will be working with Reshiram. I really hope it works out, but Reshiram is powerful and unpredictable, so who knows how it'll play out... Of course his brothers wouldn't want him to face Reshiram, and well, they might be a bit more understanding now they know that Cilan caught Reshiram, but I don't think that they'll be happy about letting him train Reshiram. But he did it, and they saved Iris! Aww, that rescue! Poor N, though. Like I thought, he can't let go of his father, yet. And Iris didn't tell anyone yet that she had Zekrom, I'm not surprised that she doesn't trust the Truth Seekers with what Benga has been doing (at least, what it seems he has been doing). But more destruction from Team Plasma would have caused more people to join the Truth Seekers, and that's what he wanted, after all.
Getting information about the enemy is always a smart thing to do, and if Iris has watched those tapes (also, tapes? A bit old-fashioned, not? XD (and seems Iris has noticed that, too haha)) and knows what things are wrong, she might be able to convince N. N is definitely having some doubts now, but he doesn't want to have doubts, and it seems that Hilda was also trying to change N's views and get him out of his father's control. And Iris has convinced N to help her, although I don't think he's going to give up on trusting his father so easily. She wants to put the Aboriginal Dragon back together... To be honest, I had already thought that the story would go in that direction, that it could be a possible outcome, but well, I suppose we'll see if it's actually going to happen or if they'll find another solution.
Eh, sorry if my reviews are a bit messy, I write them as I read. Anyway, thank you very much for updating, I hope you update soon, and keep writing! ! !
