I am gonna kick your ass.
STOP TRYING TO BE EDGY YOU DICK!
*coughs* Okay, I think I left it out...probably. Anyways, ignoring the...big twist in this chapter, it was overall an easy to read, fun and melancholic chapter. There was this sadness and uncertainty in the air, whether from the fact that the group had to finally split off to just wondering what would happen from now on. It was pretty sad that we didn't get to say goodbye to Tim but I guess that was the point after everything that happened in the last chapter.
It was nice to, once again, get some information on Criss' backstory even if it's still in the last stride. Still it's been a while since we've had such a touching and sad moment between Keith and Criss and while I would've wanted more than a hug (coughcough) it was still a good way for them to say goodbye, I hope that it's only temporary and that they'll get to see each other again later on though, that would be nice.
Now, to address the elephant in the room. I didn't like Baron's death, not just cause I really liked Baron mind you, and the scene itself was written well. The problem is that it came kind of sudden, now I'm not saying that you had to telegraph it to everyone but the problem is that it feels kind of like it was meant to be there for shock factor, like just for the sake of throwing us off and for the sake of pushing Keith over the edge more.
And see, this is where I question it, now obviously you know what's coming later and you know how this will affect Keith or the story as a whole. But unless you decide to have Keith go through the same process Criss went through, I don't see why Baron's dying affect things. Sure, he's depressed now and has to overcome the death of his Pokemon, plus he's missing one Pokemon but even if he overcomes it and comes back he still would've gone through something that he's already gone through and I feel like it acts as an easy way to have his character regress.
Again, there's no problem with all this because, humans regress, even when we learn something we always end up taking steps back. But I feel like at this point, when the story is almost over, doing this feels like too much of a sequel hook that isn't for the story but for the character, it gives us a reason to keep following Keith even if the story ends and while it's not bad...I also don't really think it's the best way to do it, but that's probably just me.
Either way, I'll wait to see what Keith goes through and overcomes now, hopefully his Pokemon can help him out
See you later Baron, you will always fly in my heart.
