Thanks for the chapter!

Matthew D

It totally isn’t too early in the week for extra chapters

Congratulations on 400 chapters

Time to beat Blaine up

Alexander Gofric

Amazing chapter. A bit sad to hear it will be over so quickly by the end of the next chapter. I had hoped Brock would be able to interact with Agatha and Oak a bit more later down the road or other characters from the War who are no longer present. Cool to see how Brock contributed to advancements such as berries, medical salves and machoke nurses. Also really cool to see Celebi show off a bit. As a legendary involved with time and keeping the time stream running smoothly it would be surprising if there wasn't a bit of an eldritch component to its being by being aware of such fundamental forces. Even more than Mew, its role in the universe is so esoteric and it was fun to see Brock's reaction to seeing the true form and aura of Celebi as a guardian of time.

Yeah, for all the buildup it'd be a bit anticlimactic to end it after only 6 or so chapters. Also, I sure hope that when Beock gets back, he can get Sabrina to teleport him around so he can hand out a few well earned punches

Brock will get so many looks once he is back, his joust and the Armor were on TV or at least a live-stream, right? Blaine, in the middle of the war. And Brock only has one mon. Crap.

Manathusa

Did you mean rawst berries to help with resisting fire? Thanks for the chap!

would be nice, but Blaine is infamous for being strong. Unless some other factor appears Brock is very outgunned here.

Alexander Gofric

Another point, as Celebi is obviously tuned into esoteric and fundamental forces like time and space wouldn't it have some inkling of Brock's role or at least his position as a reincarnated soul in this universe. Maybe Celebi wouldn't recognize it but I would be surprised if Brock didn't at least ask.

So Brock sets the stage for a lot of things without realising it: rescue ops, hospital advances, medical advances, flint surviving his injury, old jenny and her arcannine surviving there's, and apparently 'New Bark Town' having enough of a population to start a town. I'm looking forward to Brock realising all of this and realising he actually was one of few people able to do all these things. Price of being good at your work is more work; sometimes assigned by legendary pokemon.

Isn’t it a Rawst berry for burns? Or am I misremembering that?

Maxemuud

Blaine damn it.

Rhett Faucheaux

The more Blaine comes up in the story the more I just want to punch the guy. Like he is the opposite of Oak when it comes to who they r, one wants to help and end the war the other just wants to burn everything around that makes him mad. Which hey, he’s a fire specialist, but this is just ugh u know?

SailorOfHouseThunderBird

Liked Mrs Haridan's cameo. I thought Brock would interact with Blaine from the title, but i really thought they'd be on the same side here.

Fred Steel

Wasn't Bark Town attacked by a Raikou that Oak drove off? I remember that event was what helped give Oak the influence to stop the war. I also thought Blaine burned down Ecruteak during the war, forcing Johto to pretend that was Ho-Oh to keep tensions down post-war.

Congrats on 400!!! 🥳

CentaureHeart

Congratulations on 400 chapters!

Titan7

Congratulations on reaching 400 chapters. This story is amazing and I love that you have continued to work on it.

Jeremy

So... Unless I missed something Brock's timey-wimey adventure he saved Professor Oak, Daisy (who I assume will be Ms. Professor Oak in the future), Mrs Harridan, and his Growlithe Breeding partner Ms Jenny. Wonder who is on the docket for New Bark town

Oddities

murdering an twins single handedly. Am I reading that wrong? Also congrats on the 400th chapter. You’re something else to keep going and keep the story this great and engaging.

Mr_Penguin27

Congrats on 400! Shame to hear the time arc is going to be so little, always been a fan of time travel arcs and you've written this one well. Looking forward to the blain fight!

BronRevo

Damn, for once I hate the 2 ch/week scheme we got T_T cliffhangers are a major pain. Gonna have to wait till next week 😿

Kayden High

So enjoying this, but wondering if Brock will get a dark type legendary *cough* Darkrai *cough*

Jeffrey Smith

Congratulations on your 400th chapter. Loved the Pewter scenes and all the acts Brock did to kickstart things like better search and rescue. Just 1 thing. Brock has developed aura senses. The whole scene where he became aware of the world and Oak acknowledged him. This would be a very useful skill to be using. Being more aware would have helped traveling with Oak, during the search and rescue, and pinpointing Blains Pokémon. Hope to see it and I can’t wait for the next chapter.

Kayden High

I say Brock should demand compensation from onion head in the form of a hyperbolic time chamber lol 😂

BronRevo

Just a thought but I wish Brock had met intra-war Surge. Hope he outsmarts Blaine in the upcoming chapter/s!

The growlith breeder Jenny is younger than that. Also, her backstory is that she was mauled by a criminal’s pokemon early in her carrier.

"it was exactly the same as the sable I’d created with Sam during our trip to Cerulean and back." Salve.

I think he is just too tired to do it. He was wasting a lot to feed the bond with ryhorn. We also don't know if the land being full of leggendaries fighting means he could attract their anger by sanning the area. Afterall Oak noticed him immediately, I bet leggendaries can do the same.
