Penny tapped the icon to switch to speaker phone. “Hang on, Momo. I’m with Juliana’s friends, and I want to find a better place we can all listen.” “Right. Gotcha, B.B.” No one commented on their respective nicknames, for which Penny was grateful. She motioned the group out of the wind and over to an … Continue reading

The Champions’ Debate (Isle of Change, Chapter 27)
Ingo really thought he would feel more satisfied leaving Cynthia’s house. He’d confirmed the relationship between himself and Cyrus about a week before. Mostly with Aaron’s help. The kid had feigned a sudden interest in Hisuian family records and recruited Lucian to pull resources from the Centra City library. (Until Lucian, Ingo didn’t even know … Continue reading
Emmet & Ingo’s Re-Introduction (Isle of Change, Chapter 26)
Ingo had no idea how long he’d been walking. The sun had fully risen, but the sky was overcast, so it could have left the party anywhere between thirty minutes or three hours ago. He’d tried to go to his usual thinking spot in the hidden grove, only to find it occupied by Cynthia. She’d … Continue reading
Penny Saves Paldea, Chapter 18
“Sylveon, Shadow Ball!” Ortega called. “Yeah, let’s do this!” Arven slapped his face with both hands. “Greedent, Bullet Seed!” Was that his attempt at another ‘battle pose’? Ortega didn’t bother to ask. The match had to be his focus. Greedent spat out four rounds of seeds, landing perfect hits on Altaria every time. A lucky … Continue reading
Penny Saves Paldea, Chapter 17
Can’t believe I got roped into this, Penny half-thought, half-muttered as she went through the Pokémon she had on hand. I seriously cannot believe I got roped into this. Juliana had walked to the other side of the stage for a moment to ask some questions of Grusha, and she now waved to Penny as … Continue reading
Lear’s Guests (Isle of Change, Chapter 24)
Misty’s musings were soon interrupted when a man in a waiter’s uniform stood beside their table and cleared his throat for their attention. He held a silver tray aloft while a Simipour stood at his side and waved at the guests. Both Pokémon and trainer had remarkably similar hairstyles. “Hey there, um…blue-haired Cilan?” Ash said … Continue reading
Ash’s Friendships (Isle of Change, Chapter 23)
As best Ingo could recall, everyone in Unova assumed that he was a morning person. Given his occupation aboard the Battle Subway, it wasn’t an unfounded guess. He also recalled they were wrong. Even when he had to rise at the crack of dawn for his duties as Sneasler’s warden, it always seemed to take … Continue reading
Penny Saves Paldea, Chapter 15
Penny didn’t make much conversation on the journey towards Casseroya Lake. She worried at first that Ortega would take her silence as brooding. But she soon discovered the time they’d virtually spent together as Team Star had not gone to waste. He understood she would never be a chatterbox, and he didn’t push her. In … Continue reading
Penny Saves Paldea, Chapter 14
The second Ortega confirmed their deal, Arven shoved his phone into his pocket and did his best to look like he’d been paying it no attention. “Team Star…Team Star…” Nemona mused as the group finally reached the Pokémon Center. She’d been repeating it to herself to whole walk up here, with no context or explanation. … Continue reading
Ghetsis’s Dreams (Isle of Change, Chapter 22)
Once up in her room, Misty collapsed on the bed and fell asleep within seconds. Her eyes closed, and a dream began. The whole transition was almost supernatural in its smoothness and speed. At first, the dream felt like the stage show her sisters had strong-armed her into once–the magical mermaid swimming under the waves. … Continue reading
