Summary: [Pokemon/Inception crossover] A year after the events of B/W 1, N returns to Unova bent on converting the entire region to follow his ideas of Pokemon liberation through mass inception. Alder plans a counter-inception with Black, but will the mission be completed when Black's late twin starts showing up?
Notes: Inception as played by Pokemon characters. Also I'm sorry the formatting is stupid. I owe my firstborn to whoever can tell me how to post Google Docs to the rest of the internet without the text horribly butchered. Well that only took 3 hours from my life. >:(

Oh, you had problems with google docs too? ;_; I know that we had to c&p it one scene at a time or else it would only give us empty space. Can you show me a screencap so I can try to figure out how to help you better?

Hey, thanks for offering to help. My problem was that some paragraphs were indented, most weren't, and some were single-spaced while others were spread out with no sensible pattern. Didn't have the blank space problem though. That sounds frustrating. Anyways I finally fixed it by c&p each chapter into multiple word processors and removing all my formatting, then c&p those versions into the post. At one point the comments/highlighting done by my unofficial beta simply would not go away. I still don't know how that was fixed.

Oh, so you got it sorted, then? I'm glad to hear that ;_; though I am sorry about the google docs thing. I guess google docs doesn't play well with other things once your wordcount gets too high...

Hi! I am excited about your fic, because it sounds really interesting, but I have not seen Inception. (I realize I may at this point be like the only person with fandom attachments who has not seen Inception.) Should I wait to read the story until I've seen the film?

[aetherling]

Haha, don't worry, you are definitely not the only one who hasn't seen Inception yet. Um, it's rather difficult for me to say...personally I think Christopher Nolan explained inception best in the movie, although when it came out back then people still had to consult the Wikipedia page XD. I asked my unofficial beta and they said they had no trouble understanding my version of inception, but in my quest to avoid copying the movie verbatim, I may have omitted a few things because those details were not relevant to this story. If you find it confusing I will do my best to explain/rewrite so that it can stand on its own. But if you want to watch the movie first, I can provide a link where you can stream it.

Oh okay! I will give it a shot, and if I have a lot of trouble I will (a) let you know and (b) watch the movie. I am actually excited to watch the movie, I just am utterly terrible at sitting still to watch things so it very rarely happens. Thanks!
