This was such a great chapter, Tesh! I really loved getting to read about Nia and Toby trying to get their real first lead into the earthquakes. I also really liked reading about the tense scene in the rain between Calder and Kern. I do wonder if the Girafarig that slipped away will show up again. I do have to wonder what they might be up to.

I also loved seeing Samir team up with Team Scarlet in this chapter. Toby internally noting how Nia attracts lonely people to her was such a cute touch. I thought the narration’s noting of the the town having so much rain to be quite interesting. Perhaps a Pokemon is using Rain Dance? On that note, Earthquake is a TM, and a large number of Pokemon can learn it, including Girafarig. I’m not sure on how TMs might factor into the world of Seekers of Soul, so I’ll just have to wait to see if any of my move theories might be have some truth to them.

Another part of this chapter I really loved was the worldbuilding. Toby being sensitive to contact with water due to being a Fire type is so interesting to me. Does he drink water at all, or does he only stay hydrated through hydration berries? I also loved the little detail of Deidra being more sensitive to the quakes since she is a Lopunny and thus has pretty good hearing. Nia having the wherewithal to get under the saloon was also such a good detail since I know some places in the our world have extensive earthquake education. That makes me think that Nia must have lived somewhere near an earthquake fault, or at least learned about it at some point.

I think you’ve done such a great job expanding the world of Seekers of Soul, especially when it comes to the mythos and geography. The towns and locations visited so far feel very lived in. The Xylem Guild is a cozy community of Seekers, Ghatha is a lively city of colorful stone, and Asra is a desert mining town that comes alive at night after the day’s work is done.

Finally, I want to say I loved seeing more of Toby’s softer side this chapter. It was especially clear when he absorbed the Oricorio’s words, letting them take precedent for a moment over his need to find information about Team Zenith. He’s really come such a long way. Nia too, she would have never have gathered the courage to chase after Samir in the rain after an earthquake at the start of the story. You’ve done such a great job with their character development. I’m so excited to see where their adventures lead them next, with the matter of Giratina hanging over their heads and all. There’s also the matter of Will. At this point, I do not trust him and going by an animation you posted a few years ago, he’s definitely connected to Giratina in some way. Either way, I’m looking forward to seeing what Nia, Tobias, and Samir find in the mines next time.

In Japan, there are various “Pokémon’s Day” based on the word “Pokémon’s name” or the number of Pokedex.

（Such as Corsola’s day…3/25, after the Japanese name: “Sanigo"→"san,nii,go"）

These are all created by fans, but some of them have become official.（Eevee’s day…11/21 , Vulpix’s day…6/5）

I’m Japanese, so please forgive me if I use weird English( -人-)

This was an amazing chapter, Tesh! I loved getting to see how Nia has progressed in her combat abilities during the fight against the Carnivine. Even if she couldn’t manifest the aura staff for long, it’s clear that’s she’s come a long way when it comes to aura and fighting as a whole. I also loved their exchange about learning Copycat. I just love their back-and-forth banter so much. It’s so wild to think where their characters were at the start of the story to where they are now.

I’m curious to see how Will might respond to Nia’s letter, especially since I’m with Toby on not really trusting him. Since he’s been associated with Giratina in several animations in the past, there’s definitely something going on with him. Speaking of mail, my heart did a little jump when I read that the message in the mail was from Rosalind. She’s good on her word when it comes to payment, but she’s certainly a bit shady. I loved Nia and Toby’s conversation about what they should do regarding the letter. The Tobias at the start of Seekers wouldn’t have thought twice about going, but things have changed for him. He wants to be a good partner to Nia, and that means not risking her life for his own sense of vengeance. The fact that Nia chose for him and the ensuing guilt that Toby feels over her having to choose is so interesting to me, because he’s torn between the present and ghosts of his past. But at least this time, he has Nia with him.

I absolutely love that Maggie went full mom mode when they told her about where they’re going, especially when she packed those hydration herbs for Nia. I wonder if after they leave for Fort Asra will still have the topic of Rosalind on her mind, since Toby did have to cover for Nia’s slip up about mentioning her.

It was a lot of fun reading about Team Scarlet’s road trip! I loved their little chat about the existence about phones and Toby’s doubtful bewilderment at what Nia’s world is like. I love seeing Nia talk about what the human world was like. The scene where they talk about cars not being alive was such a treat to read, especially Toby’s stunned silence after Nia asks him how badges work with Psychic type powers.

Overall, this was such a fun chapter to read. I love Nia and Toby’s relationship progression so much, and it’s been an absolute treat to see it develop so far. As always, I’m looking forward to reading the next chapter.
