RE: Matt's Pokemon Story (at long last, chapter 8)
What, does no one like long reads or something? :[ Come on, it's not THAT long... I've read longer... and better ._.
So give my story a whirl!

RE: Matt's Pokemon Story (at long last, chapter 8)
Writers can't get any better if they don't get feedback, you know.
So if there's any of you out there like meowth14 described, leave a few words. Or at least post saying you read it, free bumps ftw.

Or we just run out of stuff to say. I try to post something after every chapter, but its hard to think of something original to put. After all, "Great chapter PMJ" gets repititive quickly. When the next chapter gets put up, I'll try to post something original for once.

RE: Matt's Pokemon Story (at long last, chapter 8)
I just thought of something brilliant. Here is a snippet from the next chapter for you guys to read, because I'm cool like that (and I have no idea when it'll be done):
the
Well? Cool, isn't it? No, but seriously, here:
"Of course not!" Ash snapped back at him. "Misty asked me to accompany her to the waterfall. I said yes. We were probably halfway there when all of a sudden this thing comes out of nowhere and starts picking a fight with us. I asked it to leave us be, and for a minute I thought it was gonna go quietly. It kinda nodded at me, and started walking past us, but at the last second it sucker punched Misty and knocked her out. I picked up a branch on the ground and batted that thing into a tree when it started laughing, and then I took that branch and jammed it into its brain. Eight times. I leave the branch in its skull and hurry back to Misty, who I am surprised to find is now cold as ice, which leads me to believe that thing did an Ice Punch attack. I wrapped her up in my shirt, but I really don't think it's helping much. She..." he paused for a moment, trying quite hard not to cry, especially not in front of... Team Rocket. "She's going to die, James."
If that doesn't get the brain thinking then I don't know what will. Feel free to speculate, but I won't confirm/deny anything until after the whole thing's done ^o^

He's setting us up. He wants us to think Misty will die, but he's really going to kill Bob, a person who has no connection to the story and lives in Goldenrod City.

RE: Matt's Pokemon Story (at long last, chapter 8)
DogMaster40 is correct. And by correct, I mean wrong and is therefore getting slapped
/me slaps DogMaster40
And people in Pokemon names don't have real names like Bob, it'd have to be Sven or something obscure like that.

RE: Matt's Pokemon Story (at long last, chapter 8)
But Sven is a real name... -_-
Anyhow, it's a cool read man... as I've said before, the length you've gone to in each of these is phenomenal - I don't think I could ever write a chapter as long as this >_<. Your fic takes things in a different direction to mine since you use the anime characters for one and use their characteristics in a more.. PMJ-like fashion for two
I'm really wanting to know what's gonna happen next here... awesome stuff man

RE: Matt's Pokemon Story (at long last, chapter 8)
No new chapter yet, but it's been five days and well that's long enough for me to give this topic the old bumparoonie up to the top.
Chapter nine is really shaping up nicely. I like the way it's going so far. It's not gonna be as long as chapter seven (I don't think I could beat that without a huge Pokemon battle, something I don't see happening for the rest of the story), but as of this posting it's about 9400 words.
I guess big numbers don't scare you guys, my faithful readers, do they?
I know where I want this chapter to end. The event I'm working towards is very significant, and it's actually the only point I've envisioned since day one - the story's first human death. And just so you guys don't think that from the little blurb I posted a few days back that I've already spoiled the ending and Misty's the one that dies, I'm going to tell you all this just to get your thinking caps back on:
Misty survives. The Ice Punch attack doesn't kill her. She gets saved! But by whom? Hm...
I hope to be finished soon. More as it develops

RE: Matt's Pokemon Story (at long last, chapter 8)
Well, this is a little too close to the two-week mark for my tastes, so this is getting a ticket to the top.
The word count so far is just a scrape over 10,000 words. I can say I'm at least 3/4 done. I haven't been working on it as of late because I've been busy reformatting the other chapters in preparation of hosting it elsewhere (I'll still be posting it here though, so no worries).
I also don't know if any of you guys noticed, but my story kinda doesn't have a title. And I mean a real title, not some stupid placeholder like "Matt's Pokemon Story."
It's a bit depressing to say the least. I'm hoping the next fic I write (if any) will have a title before I actually start posting it. Or maybe I'll revive and finish the other story... but that has original characters in it and I'm not too fond of that... eh. Maybe I'll post the prologue here and gauge people's reactions to it. Or I'll just scrap it completely. Who knows?
Aaaaaanyway, no promises on when chapter nine will be done, but I promise you guys will love it. I'd humor you guys with an excerpt, but I can't really think of anything good to post.
Speculate or something ^o^

RE: Matt's Pokemon Story (at long last, chapter 8)
Since Misty doesn't die, I think Max or Brock will. They really aren't important characters, so i think they'll be the first to go.
I don't think the others will die first because...
Ash is like the main character. I think he'll be the last to die, if he does.
Misty still needs to forgive Tracy.
May probably wont die first since she seems to like Ash and Tracy.
And Team Rocket shouldn't die till the end, if they do.
That's what I'm thinking!

RE: Matt's Pokemon Story (at long last, chapter 8)
I agree with Meowth14, an unimportant character will probably die first. Probably Max, since he has nothing to do with the story other than the fact he's May's sister.

RE: Matt's Pokemon Story (at long last, chapter 8)
I can tell you Dawn won't be anywhere near this fic.
And all the characters are important in the sense that they were main characters in their respective seasons. :] No one is safe... not even Ash. :]

RE: Matt's Pokemon Story (at long last, chapter 8)
It would be epic if ASh died now, then we wouldn't have to put up with his stupidity anymore.
Well, actually, thats the onyl thing you missed, PMJ. Ash doesn't sound like a complete peanut in your story.
My vote is that it will be brock. I don't thgink Max will die, that would be cruel - killing kids...
