>>33416888It was fun. The main character was an experienced, talented, but kind of washed out trainer somewhere in young adulthood who ends up mentoring a young hotshot trainer girl who thinks she's the hero of her own story. It kind of pokes fun at a lot of the common cliches- the girl seems to be something of a "chosen one", but we aren't told exactly why she's special, and she doesn't really understand that the world isn't like the stories she's read. At the same time though, the main guy is a bit repressed- he's not cruel, but all his training is focused on winning as efficiently as possible, and it's noted that he isn't actually very close with his team and he's given most of them away to other trainers by this point. He's still a nice guy who goes out of his way to help the girl, but he's kind of... lost the spark. Between the two of them, it's almost a subtle parody of the Karen and Smogon philosophies.
It's a deadfic now, unfortunately, and there were technically two versions, since the author rewrote it a few chapters in. The rewrite's noticeably better, I'd say, but the first one's worth reading as well. They're on the Spacebattles forums, OverUsed is the original, and Learnset is the rewrite. Go for the second one if you're going to just read one.
Does this work...?
