Line 6:
Despite their differences, Aurinko and Kuu's lives start mirroring each other as the way of their societies start affecting their lives, until some events force them to leave. This way they have to completely deviate from the normal Nidoran life at the burrows and deal with their issues, as well as the threats the world presents, alone and unassisted.
The story is [[Two Lines, No Waiting|split in two plotlines]], with the odd-numbered chapters following Aurinko and the even-numbered ones following Kuu. [[Word of God]] says both lead characters were intended to meet at some point.
The fic was relatively well written and explored some elements of the Nidoran mindset. It was written by the time of Generation 2 or 3, so there are some missing mechanics and the interpretation of both the humans and of their interaction with Pokémon are somewhat off with the current canon, but this doesn't detriment of the story value.
Line 27:
* [[Humans Are Cthulhu]]: they are presented in a somewhat otherwordly image in both storylines, and their motivation to catch and force Pokémon to battle is also discussed. The story was written before Generation 4's reveal of "''[[Binding Ancient Treaty|The Vow]]''" by which Pokémon actually agree to battle humans on their own accord.
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]] / [[I Just Want to Be Special]]: the two tropes are used in each storyline. Aurinko wants to be good enough; Kuu wants to not have that much pressure on his shoulders.
* [[Lawyer
* [[Nature Is Not Nice]]: Nidoran dispossing of their offspring is hinted to be uncommon and well hidden occurrence. Then a [[Fanon Pokédex/Growlithe|Growlithe]] comes in and eats two of Kuu's siblings ''whole''.
* [[Offing the Offspring]]: Aurinko's family. Dad cares about his lineage, whereas for Mom is mostly a "need a spare bedroom" thing. And this even though, except for her colouration, Aurinko is actually the best one of the litter.
