 I have to agree on both points.  I mean, the average beginning trainer 
 is ten years old, so there's a good chance your character has been 
 slaughtering a lot of children all this time.

	Who said he killed beginning trainers? And who said he did all that much
killing in the first place? He only kills or attacks trainers or people who
are doing something wrong like bullying that little girl or robbing an old
lady. It seems I messed up here....I should have made it more clear that he's
not just some guy who goes around killing anyone with Pokemon. As it goes on,
and I'm going to post at least one more chapter here, I will show that he
doesn't have that many confrontations. That while having a dark beginning and
premise that this is more of a 'Character sees the error of his ways' fic than
an out and out Dark fest. {I hope} And though this is dark now in the end this
will not be fully a dark fic.{Again I hope I can write well enough to do
that...} It WILL have a happy ending. {Sad and Dark endings are a personal pet
peeve of mine.}

 
 I think the point is, there seem to be more dark Pokemon fic series on 
 this list than otherwise, and Pokemon is a far from dark series.  It's 
 okay to have a serieous fic, but we already have two "Pokemon Assasin" 
 fics already, and we've just started writing Pokemon fics.  

	Sorry that they are more Dark fics than not but that's really not my
fault...At least I hope not. If it is I'm in some to do some major
thinking....

 They don't mix as well as say, a Bubblegum Crisis Darkfic(ov which there 
 are too many, anyway.).  Pokemon is not a dark series, yet every other 
 series out there seems to get someone killed.  I read a fic off the 
 Pokemon Fanfic ML recently where two newborn pokemon got their necks 
 broken for no reason, two Mewtwos and a Mew got slaughtered, and Ash's 
 Bulbasaur was burned to death by a flamethrower-wielding ex-Rocket, and 
 that was in the first three chapters.  Granted that the Pokemon world is 
 probably more serious that the show makes it out to be, but really.  

	Ok, I have noticed that at least half of the Pokemon fics are Dark and yes
the two aren't made for each other. But it's just that a lot of people decided
they wanted Pokemon but not what they were getting from the show. They wanted
something different. And I'm one of them. As I said I just got this idea and I
wanted to do it whether Dark didn't fit Pokemon well or at all. At all is the
case I guess but I don't care. I like this idea and while I respect your
opinion that Dark and Pokemon shouldn't be done I frankly don't give a d*mn. I
will continue this. If more people share your opinion than not you'll only
have to delete one more chapter and the announcement of my web page where No
One will be stored. BTW my story will NOT have such gratuitous killing.
Actually the deaths in the first chapter will be the last killings for a long
while and maybe last ones period.

 It's not that, it's just that the first thing to come to mind when you 
 write a Pokemon fic shouldn't be 'Darkfic.'  Maybe there should be a 
 Statue of Limitations prohibiting Dark fanfics for a non-dark series for 
 a few months after the first one in posted.

	Well, the first thing that came to my mind WASN'T darkfic. It was actually
what Pokemon my main character would have. Then from there I got a picture of
Jonathan. And from that I just ended with a dark fic.

	In any case whether you disagree with me or just plain hate me because I
mixed Pokemon and dark fics thanks for responding. I'll try and return the
favor next time you release a fic. I know my C&C probably won't help much but
I'll do my best. Until later....Bye!
