Comments of chapter undefined of Pokemon Alternate Universe Adventures

I love this novel, however I feel that I'm just embeded into his mind too much. Dialog once in a while would be a nice pace change. Feel the world around him with him, not through him. I just dont feel any personallty on any of the OG cast. It would have been a perfect time for some character growth on Jessie or Rose's end. I am not sure if the purpose is to speed run his pre-journey stage, but there is plenty of space for growth on everyones part. I'm not saying add a side character chapter, but allow people to grow and shine with each charcter... and maybe even Yu will grow.
