No joke, this is pretty much exactly what I came looking for when I started searching for Redemptionshipping fics: game-verse (but logical), gradual development, strong plot and, oh yeah, Crystal/Kris isn't a giggling, swooning girly-girl. (I feel like Lyra's design was a slap in the face for every practical female to ever play the games. One does not go hiking in thigh socks.)
Here's hoping you continue this-it's really, really worth it(_).

Cheers,

Until the next chappy.

I still wonder how Myst got to that lake...

I never usually used herbs or roots on my pokémon because of their bitterness.

And that was the start of a beautiful relationship- I mean friendship!

I'm liking this story so far :)

Can't wait to read more. Please keep updating it :D

I really enjoy this story, I've got to say. Here's hoping that you continue it.

My only complaint, just like everyone else, is that Silver cusses too much for it to sound like natural dialogue. I'm quite foulmouthed myself, and some of the places where he decides to insert the word 'fucking' interrupt the natural flow of the sentence. Swearing like a sailor is obviously a habit of Silver's, but the way he cusses makes it seem like he's only a beginner at the sport.

Also, I know this is first person narrative, and thus in the mind of a teenage girl, but she ends too many thoughts with 'or something'.

I really like how, in the course of only four chapters, Kris has grown more bitter just by being exposed to Silver. I'm also anxious to see how their bet turns out, and any more encounters they will have with Gold and Lyra.

i miss reading this

Its a good idea :DD But maybe making Silver i little less of a Jackass would make it better :3

But then again thats just me

Oh come. I can't believe Gold, Lyra and the professor were really going to accuse her of stealing the dratini. Even if it WAS somehow the same dratini that had been reported stolen the other day, why the heck would she come to the lab and ask what type of pokemon it was, if she didn't even know the species name of the pokemon she supposedly stole? Besides, despite being malnourished, did the dratini ACT like it the human who had it had mistreated it or was trying to get away from her now that the thievery jig was up? *lol*

Like it! :)

My only suggestion.. is that maybe you could add some variety on Silver. He's like, a douché, but a little boring, predictable (as he'll always badmouth whatever's happening at the moment) Maybe give him other colours?

So far, it is very well written!

Wow, Silver is such a jackass XD.

I really look forward for an update. Keep it up!

Awesome! It's time to battle!...And it's the first gym battle out of 8? And then...Was it the Four then Kanto? Or Kanto THEN the Four? ! And then...The GAME FILLER!...You'll do fine.

XD

i like this story yes i do! :DD crystal is my fav and i was devastated that they replaced her, so thank you for showing her some love! lol

:))

Ooh, I like this. I like the neat reference to that little pond on Route 46 that had Dratini in it. And your portrayal of Silver is great.
