I love your writing style and how it really entrances its readers. I had so much to do today but leaving this story for more than a hot minute was impossible because it was just so wonderful and heartbreaking too. Your ending shattered my heart into a million pieces and I'm unbeluevably upset that it didn't work out earlier between them. Thanks for really making me feel something and reflect a bit on my own life as well. This wasn't something I expected to find when I decided to go through some Pokeshipping fics for nostalgia's sake but I'm really glad heart ache be damned.

Nice

It was a happy ending but a little bittersweet that she doesn't remember their childhood journey together very well. But it was still good!

Well shit
I'm not crying
No, I'm not stop saying that
IT WAS ONLY ONE TEAR
Two
Fine.
Also Brock, dude, that was deep
AND DID I SEE DIAMONDSHIPPING, HM, DELIA?

Sorry if I'm late but been busy for a long time for awhile. But better late than never I suppose, anyway I love how extensive this story really became.. normally I've seen 1K or so stories from your other works but this takes the cake which is beyond beautiful and amazing.

However the ending was kinda bittersweet and tragic, but still wonderfully unique on it's own, my only hope was is that Ash would have the time to figure out his feelings and attraction for his long time friend. Of course as for Misty I did kinda wished she wouldn't so selfish to not let Ash know about her being ill so that he could be there to support her every step of the way and eventually their friendship would lead to something more!

But I still loved on how much hard work, dedication and passion you put into this story, you should feel proud yourself for achieving the impossible as much as I am proud of you Ameriboo. This is one of your absolute finest Pokéshipping stories yet! keep up the amazing work with your future stories and again sorry for being late to read and review your latest Pokéshipping entry.

This story is really something spectacular. I was shocked and saddened that they missed each other by inches, emotionally speaking. It was very selfish of Misty to not let Ash know. But I guess that's the crux of the whole thing, if she'd been brave enough to say something sooner, then she wouldn't have ended up sick in the first place because Ash actually would have had time to figure out his own feelings. The ending is so tragic and bittersweet, it's unfair that even in love she has to live without their early memories together. My only criticism is that I wish I would have like to have seen more of how Ash's feelings developed, it was such a jump from her not knowing him to them being happy together, it felt weird and out of place. Overall though, an incredible story. Absolutely added to favorites.

You did it again! I already read the story but had to re-read it because it’s so wonderfully. Definitely one of my fav Pokeshipping writers, everything you write is so beautiful

I'd seen the hanahaki disease concept a while ago and thought it was so CLAMP-like, haha! I've been wanting to read a pokeshipping story about it ever since, so I was overjoyed when I saw the synopsis and your pen name.

I even skipped sleep to read, and I gotta say I have zero regrets. I love EVERYTHING about this fanfic!
I always fall in love with your pokeshipping fanfic, but I think this one is on another level.

From the little details like Arbuks being a shop name to the way you incorporated the hanahaki disease to the Pokemon universe, like linking it to Brock's traumatic experience with Professor Ivy, to the heart wrenching portrayal of Misty's suffering and hopelessness.

I felt like I could actually see these scenes unfolding in front of me, especially her love confession. It was such a beautiful scene!

I had this idea before reaching the love confession that Ash would end up developing the disease too because I thought someone would tell him what was going on and he'd realize he loved her, but would think it was unrequited because she'd refuse to admit who caused her disease lol

But I loved the way it ended. It's so bittersweet to think that she forgot everything and that she probably wouldn't have had to go through with the surgery if she hadn't run away then.

I was a little sad that the story just skipped over to them dating though. Of course I wanted a happy ending, but I kind of wanted to see a little of Ash's struggle to befriend her again while trying to figure out his feelings for her (sequel please?).

Now that I've shamelessly asked for a sequel, can I shamelessly beg you to update "h o m e" too? I've just checked and I can't believe it's been nearly one year!

Congratulations, this story is the 1000th in Pokeshipping paradise!
