I'd read volume 1 of this series and found it a bit confusing, in part because of its large cast. So I wasn't surprised when I found this volume confusing, too - but I did feel silly when I realized, three-quarters of the way through, that this was volume 3 and not 2! That probably accounts for at least SOME of the confusion . . .

Update: I reread this after reading volumes 1 and 2, and it does indeed make more sense. :P

My full review of volumes 2 and 3 is posted at No Flying No Tights.

What the frick, Sapphire?!? Your pokemon are being drained and you just want to know how they're supposed to battle like that! Really?! She also acts too understanding, too quickly when she finds out she's been lied to, and she just hands over the battery to the guys at the space center, no questions asked, even after seeing them torture her pokemon and Zinnia's attack. I guess I don't understand what's going on with her. She seems less like a character and more like a plot device.

I really enjoyed Hoopa tagging along with Emerald. That was really cute.

Dude, someone in the production of this series had a serious crush on Zinnia. I can tell because of the way Ruby keeps man handling her. Y'all, just let the pokemon fight, okay?

Amber and Blaise's trick with Hoopa worked way too well, way too quickly. We get Groudon and Kyogre summoned in volume 3? This feels like bam bam bam. In your face: plot.

And more what the frick?! I thought Archie and Maxie were freaking dead!

There are roughly 80 pages per volume. In that meagerly space too many characters and concepts are introduced to allow clarity to the reader. Surprisingly, there is almost no attention given to the pokemon.
