Zuko had returned to Ember Island. Izumi had gotten the word at breakfast that morning. Naturally, her first thought was that she was happy he was safe. It always made her nervous when he went wandering around the countryside without taking so much as a messenger hawk with him. Really, this was the modern era. … Continue reading
Ash knew of no greater pain than watching a Pokémon suffer. Watching his Pikachu suffer was the worst pain of all. Team Rocket knew this; he’d demonstrated it many times before. Only now he was unfortunate to have it used against him. Passing through the Kanto region on a brief visit, Ash had been fortunate … Continue reading
“I just don’t get it at all,” said Korra, wiping her brow with a damp towel after another round of sparring with Fuse. She’d been improving a lot in their matches over the past week. This time she had only let Fuse out of range once, and then quickly closed the gap before Fuse could … Continue reading
When Agent Fiora entered Team Rocket’s Pokémon housing facility, she found a flurry of assistants hard at work — mostly cleaning cages and mixing food. She gripped Absol’s harness and walked forward, her weak muscles quivering in protest. At least Pierce understood her, even if no other Rockets did. He knew better than to argue … Continue reading
Tomas had not gone by the name Tom-Tom in decades, and he vowed to keep it that way. It was difficult enough re-establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with in the Fire Nation. It would have been even more difficult if he’d kept that childish nickname. And now he was one step closer … Continue reading
Fuse was pleasantly surprised at the courtesy of the Firelord’s guards. She’d been guarded many times in her life, and she knew the type.

We will have a new fic starting in a few weeks to replace it. Thanks for reading! —- Yellow Pearl had, if nothing else, … Continue reading
Mako flipped through page after page, blowing away the dust that choked his lungs when he got to a particularly aged volume. The Firelord kept meticulous notes of all the goings-on of her nation. Unfortunately, it seemed, that while she read everything carefully, there was no system in place to look for an organized pattern … Continue reading
Peridot watched the scene before her in a sort of stunned amazement. The Pearl fusion caught sight of Coral charging her and, to her credit, did an excellent job of almost escaping. She attempted to fly into the air, but could not get sufficient lift fast enough. Coral leapt up and grabbed her legs, yanking … Continue reading
Mako knew something was wrong. Korra wasn’t just making chitchat with the Firelord during all those meetings, for one. And besides that, he didn’t trust that weird combustionbender one bit. Not to mention that thing with Korra learning how to fly all of a sudden. She’d never brought it up or demonstrated it again after … Continue reading
