Cynthia drilled Ingo on every little detail surrounding Jubilife Village for at least an hour. She might have gone on longer if his gurgling stomach didn’t interrupt her next question. “Oh, dear,” she said, lowering her notepad–which she’d gotten seven pages deep in already. “Perhaps we should break for lunch?” “Perhaps,” Ingo said with a … Continue reading
That brat Agent Fiora had certainly left a mess in her wake. That was Lexi’s first thought when she’d been promoted three months ago. No longer was her study limited to Team Rocket’s grass-type laboratory. Instead she was to take over the entire hybrid clinic. This would have been a very exciting step in her … Continue reading
Barry, Rosa, and the other not-members-of-Team-Break did manage to get out of the rain quickly. Koko found a nearby cave, ripe for exploring. Ripe for a lunch break, too. The clouds outside shifted into one of those paradoxical weather events–with the sun peaking back out and shining brightly even as the shower continued. Brock perked … Continue reading
Living with Cynthia proved to be a mostly pleasant experience. The champion’s home was snug but luxurious. Her property on Pasio actually consisted of two micro homes, linked by a single walkway that could be closed off and locked if needed. The outside had a white stucco siding with slate blue French style tiles on … Continue reading
Misty and her companions approached the shore just as a high wave collided with the rocky cliffside. It made an impressive crash that echoed across the sand and drowned all of Misty’s other thoughts. In that brief moment, she heard only the surf. Then she gasped. Although her feet were planted firmly on the beach, … Continue reading

Despite her misgivings, Misty had no immediate regrets about signing up to assist the new trainer Sawyer had mentioned. Largely because once she got off the phone, she and Brock found themselves with non-expiring, VIP passes to stay at the luxurious Pasio Grand Hotel whenever they liked. As Misty slipped into a warm bubble bath … Continue reading
Two weeks earlier… Bam! Ingo sat up, spitting grass out of his mouth. Unlike most people who appeared on the island of Pasio, he didn’t react with disorientation or confusion. After all, it had not been the first time that he’d been shoved through time and space against his will. Instead, his gut twisted, and … Continue reading
Rapp and Zipp both lost to their boss in short order. No surprises there. It was a bit of a relief to Fi, though. The sooner she got on with this fight, the sooner she could get back to camp so Pierce didn’t come looking for her. Guzma grinned and cracked his knuckles before motioning … Continue reading
A surprisingly large number of restaurants lined the small streets in town. Brock and Misty both walked with shaky but growing confidence along the sidewalks. At least both their memories had retained the concept of going somewhere on two feet. As they passed a shop window, Misty fingered the evergreen needles on a length of … Continue reading
