I have decided to keep my reviews to every few chapters, however much I get read in each section, since this is complete and reviewing each individual chapter might be a bit of a moot point, but I still wanted to share my thoughts nonetheless as I go! So these will probably be on the longer side.

First of all, I will say right off the bat I like your modernistic approach to how the league is handled. It reminds me a bit of what we see in Galar and while personally I feel like Unova's is a bit less sophisticated for canonical reasons, that's not to say I dislike this take on it at all. It's actually quite refreshing, especially with the idea that Team Plasma is well-known and accepted as a fact of life.

I also love how curt and kind of hostile N is toward Juniper, because yeah, he cannot STAND her. In Chargestone Cave he seems like he's close to or already is just yelling at her, because she is very taken aback. So I appreciate that a lot, lol.

I also appreciate the explanation for names being different, like Red, Blue, Skyla, and Grimsley, because yeah, it is just a little too convenient isn't it?

Hah, nice little nod to Ash Ketchum there with Hilbert discussing his name change.

The subject of pokemon whisperer itself so far seems very intriguing and I am curious to know if that means N is technically one as well... I suppose I'll just need to keep reading. :P

I find myself appreciating the fact the wild Pokemon are considered very dangerous because I always felt that made sense as well, wild Pokemon are wild magical monsters. They are fully capable of defending themselves-and violently.

I also appreciate that you go into more detail with Plasma because I agree, they likely do have good points and many members of Plasma likely ARE steeped in belief of these good points, totally unaware of the darker side of Team Plasma. Even so it's nice that you keep Ghetsis being evil and N being a puppet. I like N's wit and his precision in his words and actions. He is a man on a mission and I am here for it.

I thinks it’s awesome ivory is gonna get to actually go on her own journey

I like how Gilbert changed his name

I loved this starting chapter

Wow that last review was hilariously bad. I want at least an epilogue. A sequel is fine, but only if you really want it.

fuck this garbage story read a real one like my masterpeace ultra legend of red and learn how 2 write

:)

I just went back and read your author's note from the previous chapter. I like that this story has dark themes, but does not focus on them too much. The first time I was reading this I thought that it was strange that Whisperers weren't allowed to live like normal people and that everyone accepted this. I brushed it off at first because there are a lot of authors on this website who write odd situations for their characters without thinking about the consequences. It's actually really cool that you put this much thought into the oppression of Whisperers. I was originally surprised at Black for being jealous of her. Even if Whisperers weren't trafficked, they don't really get to make their own choices and are watched all the time. But now that you've pointed out that Ivory's life as a Whisperer has been normalized by the league, Black's reaction makes sense.

I think it's silly that whisperers don't train at all. They don't have to compete. They're threatened by human trafficking, but Ivory doesnt even know her shinx's moveset so that she can better defend herself. Whisperer powers are not enough if they can be captured, caged, and controlled, so it would make more sense to train their bonded pokemon. Other than that, I have found this story pretty fun.

Hello there!

I just wanted to say I've read the first chapter and I'm really enjoying it so far. I love the insights and interactions from Ivory's perspective. You've introduced the characters effortlessly without overloading on info. Im really interested to know what a Pokemon whisperer is as well.

The only thing is like to critique is the tenses. Just be careful that you don't mix tenses. For instance, the first line says "the sunshine gleamed", but the rest of the story for the most part is in the present tense.

Other than that I really enjoyed the first chapter. Keep it up! :)

Hi! I would like to say that i have been enjoying this story, and that you should keep up the good work! I'm interested in seeing how things play out.

I would recommend though, using a line break between scenes or during perspective changes. It can be a bit confusing when it happens suddenly without warning.

Thanks for the Pokemon whisperer explanation. Can the bond with Nighstar be explained more next?. I look forward to more of this story xx

I wanna know more about Ivory and Pokemon whisperers xx
