Haven't read the latest chapter yet but I feel a need to acknowledge that holy crap I'd given this story up for dead and now it's back, this is awesome.
Anyway, here's hoping for a swift and resounding comeuppance for Blue the traitor and thief.
Edit: Have now read it, good solid entry right there. A shame his squirtle is kind of an ass, but I guess that's more characterful than having every 'mon be perfectly sweet and compliant.

Seconding this.
u/None [+2] (4 hours later)
Was very momentarily confused until I realized that this is a different fic from The Origin of Species. Just automatically assumed while not reading the complete title.
u/Golden_Magician [+8] (3 hours later)
Well, it looks like the holy trinity of badass rational pokemon fanfiction is finally complete- after Game of Champions and The Origin of Species, here's The Line. Cannot wait for more.
u/neilpandank [+3] (7 hours later)
Does anyone know if the game of champions is still alive?
u/Golden_Magician [+6] (8 hours later)
I believe it's dormant, updates seem to be coming on a yearly basis at best. I still have hope though!
u/neilpandank [+2] (8 hours later)
I feel like the author could get a Patreon account and write this part/full time. Obviously up to him/her if they want to do that
u/Golden_Magician [+4] (10 hours later)
Well, the author's update rate has drastically dropped since he joined the Air Force. There might or might not be some correlation there!
u/neilpandank [+1] (10 hours later)
Yeah that's what I thought too
u/Cariyaga [+1] Kyubey did nothing wrong (15 hours later)
I'm generally hesitant to suggest that, as I've heard from various folks that while monetary supplement makes it easier to find the time to write, it also reduces motivation to do so.
u/neilpandank [+1] (a day later)
Fair enough
u/addicted_to_reddit_ [+3] (10 hours later)
I believe it still is. The author posted a little excerpt of the latest chapter for beta reading on misc authors forum on darklordpotter back in december, but nothing since. So, its still alive just being updated very very slowly.
u/DaystarEld [+6] Pokémon Professor (12 hours later)
Loving the rivalry between Blue and Red. It's one of the things that Game of Champions did fantastically well, and it looks like this story will too. Looking forward to the next chapter!
u/360Saturn [+1] (a day later)
Nice story, pretty solid. One minor correction, the Apricot in the pokeball should be an Apricorn I think? As apricot is actually a fruit in real life.
u/Sailor_Vulcan [+1] Champion of Justice and Reason (a day later)
I looked at the nidoran, and I knew his name. "Your name is Nidoking."
OMG! I remember how real people did this too when playing the games when I was a kid. It was really funny to see things like a magikarp that was nicknamed Gyrados, or to see someone with an entire team of ordinary pokemon nicknamed after legendaries. nowadays i might want to do something like nicknaming my butterfree venomoth and nicknaming my venemoth butterfree. speaking of which, does Daystar have any plan to explain the whole butterfree/venemoth thing in Pokemon the Origin of Species? why does metapod evolve into something that looks so much like a venonat, and venonat evolves into something that looks so much like a metapod?
u/Turniper [+1] (3 days later)
This is an amazing. Just amazing.
u/KnickersInAKnit [+1] (6 days later)
Typo: Ch 1
a hint of sparkle in his eye and spoke (I suspect you went a little too happy here with the replace function)
Fantastic first 3 chapters. Looking forward to seeing your next update. On my watch list now :)
