MC's dad whole point is to save yourself even it means abandoning MC's pokemon. even when MC basically told him that his pokemon is part of his family. so in my humble opinion, it would've been better if MC ask dad something in line of " would you sacrifice us if it can save your life?" just to show his resolve to do anything to save his family.
Yeah I think my criticism on the last chap still stands firm. You are relying too much on dialogue. To be frank, it isn't impactful or relatable. Painting a scene that justifies each point is better. A show don't tell sorta thing. If the Misty scene perfectly painted the dads point, you would need one for Mc's care for his pokemon, the uncle not wanting to pick a side, and then both the adults cynical view on mc their fear of the war/legendaries. A good author would probably try and show all of that with one or two scenes with action instead of words. Am I making sense? Or am I just ranting like the mc? Anyways- Show don't tell abt sums everything up to one sentence.
Great fanfic. I started reading yesterday and I just need more chapters, please. Loved the fact you skipped the whole beginner trainer journey and gave us a somewhat mature character. The idea of how Aura works is also very interesting. I'd love to see it in action for a Psychic/Ghost trainer. (my favorite types, though water is in my top 5)
