Description

Chapter 24: On the Rocks |Table of Contents | Chapter 26: Effect of the Heat

I forgot to mention last time- Leaf's outfit (the tank top and that) was not my design!! It's by :iconjenniej92:!!
Pokemon Kalos Women Fashion by Jenniej92 <she drew Leaf in a different outfit here and I liked it so much that I decided to use it (with her permission). X)

It's commentary time~!
Or it would be if I had anything to say about this chapter.
Just two things really- First being Leaf and Tisha are so ridiculously cute together. ;w;
Second, I REALLY want to talk about Blaine and share some of the notes I have on him because I honestly think that he's probably the most interesting character in Pokemon canon.

I mean, think about it- a very intelligent man who is canonically friends with Fuji means that Blaine would have had some kind of link to the Mewtwo experiment. Which we know goes south and damages a lot of the Mansion (sans the basement).
Afterwards, Fuji goes back to Lavender town and helps orphan pokemon (out of guilt).
What does Blaine do after that trauma? He apparently gets obsessed with fire power and it's strength. We also know he was in the mountains at one point and was led home by Moltres. Also mention that he almost never takes his glasses off.
The former lab/Mansion is now occupied by criminals looting and scientists who used to work for Blaine and Fuji.
And Blaine's Gym *also* has criminals and scientists as trainers.
And he's living on that island next to the mansion (which he has neither destroyed nor rebuilt), and is still wearing his lab coat until Cinnabar Island is destroyed in Gen II/IV.
You can read the rest of me raving about Blaine's character on The Fall's Tumblr

Has he killed someone to protect the cause before? I'd say so. 

Would he have killed Leaf if she had not had Poseidon with her? Yep.

Why did he let her go at the end? Because he realized that they were on the same side and fighting for the same thing.

Also- if you just want The Fall related content (and not my random other art), you can join/watch :iconthe-fall-fans:!
We'll be having a contest there as soon as I can get my crap together. :'D

Lovin' the dialogue between Blaine's pokemon - for Gym pokemon, they're pretty cowardly. But then again, Gyarados . . .
Also - Tisha! I thought you said earlier that she wasn't coming back. Not that I'm complaining - Tisha's awesome :D
