This second entry in the Magical Pokemon Journey series introduces new characters and more wild adventures. Almond takes the Pokemon on a trip through an underground cave. Can Clefairy, Jigglypuff, and Pikachu tough it out? Hazel, Pikachu, and friends go skiing, but are they really wise to enter the territory of the icy Articuno? Hazel has a new rival for Almond's affections, Coconut, a self-proclaimed scientific genius whose pet, Eevee, is smart too. Meanwhile, it's Valentine's Day -- will Coconut or Hazel get the chocolate?
Aaaaand romantic rival. I think I liked it more when Almond was just being obtuse with Hazel. Now we have an even more obnoxious girl as Hazel's rival in love and Almond's STILL clueless.
I'm not fond of love triangles, nor am I particularly interested in romantic rivals.
Despite this, Magical Pokemon Journey is rather entertaining, and if you liked the first volume, please continue.
