Set in the "A New World, A New Way"-verse our hero, Mick, has to find his friends and a new home among the many races that populate the new world that Arceus has decided to forcibly move them to. Evicted from their original home, will our heroes survive and make a new name for themselves? Or will they fall to desperation and despair as the world crumbles around them?
So yeah, be sure to check out "A New World, A New Way" by ZeusDemigod, and all the wonderful side stories that have been popping up because there's a ton of awesome ones to see!
Tags and extra ratings will be added when needed, although I do intend to keep this below Mature.
Chapters (26)
Not bad so far, now the question is... where will you go with it from here after they leave the cabin? I eagerly await what will come next.
4961844 It intends to be interesting. I just have to get back to writing.
4962286 Join the club we've got jackets. I'm doing my own spinoff of the New World universe... and I've still got a LoHaV that I'm working on.
4962346 Oh yeah, I know that, except my story is more LoHAH
Interesting, I was wondering the other day "what would happen to those unluckily to appear in a harsh place, like a volcano or the middle of the sea. Right in a snow storm is also a good example.
Good start.
4964947 *Bows* I do try to entertain.
As a side note, very spiffing avatar, good sir.
4964983 Well,I thank ye, and look forward for the rest of your story.
Nice chapter
Not bad, the imagery of Widget spoon-feeding Mick gave me warm feelings as well... Now if I can describe as well as you've been doing maybe I won't have as many problems in my stories. Great work! Cannot wait for chapter 3!
Did you really just do that?
Do what?
You know what I mean
Can it Hades!
4970316 actually, it was Widget with Mick, Emma's been checked on by Gem
4970313 Thank you much good sir
4970329 ohhh whoopsie! one sec and I'll edit my comment
This is why you don't read fast
4970342 It's actually not that hard to get the descriptiveness down, the more time you spend on the story the more detail you get. Just imagine the scene as if you're watching a Hi-Def movie. all you would need to do is go into what you see
4970363 Being an INTP personality that's one of the things I have difficulty with(another is empathy). I tend to springboard from thing to thing which makes my descriptions a bit jumbled... Not the best way to do things. I'm working on it though.
4970368 What I do is read other people's stories to find out what I could do, even taking a look at a thesaurus to find words that sound good
4970373 Admittedly that's one of the secondary things I do when I read stories, one of the main things(that most of the New World fics have done amazingly well, yours included) is comedy. If it can make me laugh and still maintain story then it's a great story to me.
4970402 ...I had comedy in mine? That's news to me. Where was it? I didn't know I was that subtle
4970446 I tend to find comedy in most things so even if there's very little I'll still enjoy it(in other words I laugh at most anything even if it's only slightly funny... kinda like Pinkie). I found a ton of hilarity within a maplestory animation that the creator himself didn't know he had in there. Actually on friendly terms with said animator
4971911 I still want to know what was funny so I could go back and read it to see if "... Hey... Now that I think of it, that actually is kinda funny..." happens to me
4972821 Lemme take another look through then. My STM is not the greatest.
Well one of the moments that caused me to chuckle was in here. I always find the humans reactions to being pokefied amusing. Panic, screaming... even those who think it's all a dream.
4974574 Ah! That, yeah, that was actually pretty funny, because it's most likely the most realistic reaction. you wake up and find out your body does not react in any familiar way, you freak out. Whether it's internally or externally is up to the individual. My first reaction would certainly be to believe I was dreaming, because my muscles would remember that I was supposed to be human and thus not being human would not qualify as reality for a while
this a good slice of life story
4995959 I guess it could be... Although that's mostly because this is only the beginning.
Wait, wait, wait... I think you may have accidentally skipped over a chapter because we are missing some important information here. When did Emma learn that the Cyndaquill she found in the snow was actually her trainer Rick? I would assume that happened in the morning between everyone falling asleep at the end of the last chapter and Arceus' mid-day global announcement at the start of this one. And at the start, you described said global telepathic message as happening the PREVIOUS day? What happened to the rest of that day? I mean, you can't just skip over time like that without a proper explanation like that, we're missing some critical developmental scenes in the narrative.
5015899 I see where you're coming from, I'll edit in another chapter then detailing a bit more before the announcement so that there isn't that loss of information, although I can't get on that at the moment, I will be working on that later today then.
And his name is Mick
5015962
Right, must've misread the name. In the time I found this whole series a couple weeks ago I've read and faved about 20 other "New World, New Way" side-stories, so sometimes I loose track of the character names (I'm a quick reader with a lot of free time).
5016493 no problem, I certainly do hope that you like the new chapter three and the edited chapter 4
pretty good
5020525 Thank you very much! I do try to bring out the best in my story.
I think you did a good job with the Diamond Dog's reaction to the Pokemon to treat them like normal citizen and trying to help them the best they can.
I really like this chapter, even if it's a bit short.
5040648 The greatest part is that I'm writing as it comes to me, so it allows the flow to travel wherever it wants and allows me to think ahead without bogging down too much
I have to admit, I am LOVING the fact that the Diamond Dog cities apparently look like Dwemer Ruins from Skyrim (minus the whole "being ruins" thing, of course). Also, just to let you know, you mispelled "Onix" in this chapter; "Onyx" is a real-world mineral that is pronounced exactly the same as the Pokemon's name (I'm guessing it was probably an autocorrect thing).
5041971 Actually... IT was mostly habit... I'll go back and change it though.
Sorry I can't upvote your story more than I already have
5059906 It's alright, I know the feeling. If anything, I'd be happy to make a few cameos if you want, they may not get a major plot devoted to them, or they could become part of the group seeking to speak with Arceus.
Send me a PM if you have a pokemon or human-turned-pokemon that you would like to see make a cameo in the story
Crazy Inventor type, huh? Sometimes those kinda guys come up with some really worthwhile kind of stuff.
5 bucks says it's a translator machine!
5069103 Of course! Just look at Professor E. Gadd! And Dr Kaminko... and of course... Professor Farnsworth
So... the DD are the Equss equibalent of Dwarves? Awesome!
And I love this kind of city, makes me think on Harry Potter.
5069712 I'd say more of a mix between dwarves and Gnomes, but that's definitely a good comparison
5069103
5069232 Well, we all do love wacky inventions, and this is going to be one doozy of an invention
5069740 I've got an idea revolving around the pony oc in my story that involves a translation device(he never actually learned a spell for it)... but if anything it'll turn out like most of his other inventions, half-finished because he finds something new and rushes off to work on that. Hell he's got a half-finished teleporter because he stumbled across a new theory and rushed off to work on that.
5069766 Ha! At least Vinny completes the inventions, even if a few go haywire
yes you are, now shut up and take the hugs like a man >:3
5072824 When you're an incredibly adorable pokemon, you either have to hide (Like most cyndaquil) or you have to learn to accept that you're going to get hugged.
Love the Mad Quack Inventor, there are NEVER enough in the stories making rounds anymore
5101638 The best part is that he invents on a whim, giving him the flexible opportunity to rival pinkie pie in terms of explanation.
Glad to see that your story was added ^^
5105444 Thank you very much, may I ask which parts you have enjoyed the most so far?
5105488 I loved the discription you used when they first arrived, it was adorable! Besides errors here and there, it is a pretty good read so far. The only thing you need in my opinion is a picture for the cover. Pictures are like eye candy, they easily grab the viewer's attention so they can get a basic feel for the story. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.
5106312 I know, I really need to find one, although I have a picture in progress that I'm making on my own... The progress isn't going too fast though...
