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
Penny Saves Paldea, Chapter 13
Mela stood as close to the tent entrance as she could without slipping right back out again. “I’m sorry,” she began. No greeting, just an apology. She fidgeted with her fingers and kicked at the dirt, not typical behavior at all. When Mela made a mistake, she was more likely to double down on being … Continue reading
Penny Saves Paldea, Chapter 12
“The center’s just over this ridge,” Nemona said, pointing ahead. The green meadows surrounding the Fairy Crew’s base were far behind them now–a green line in the distance. Their hike into the snowy mountains had started off pleasantly enough, but the farther they got, the more the temperature sunk. At least Arven was more or … Continue reading
Penny Saves Paldea, Chapter 11
Ortega switched the call over to speaker mode and set the phone down in the middle of the desk. He’d barely gotten in a hello before Eri demanded updates on everything. Her scout had received reports of an assault on the Fairy Crew’s base, and she’d been on edge ever since. Were all the members … Continue reading
Darkrai’s Intervention (Isle of Change, Chapter 21)
Lear was trapped. Deservedly, perhaps. He did know what a popular figure he was on the island, how much the citizens looked up to him and admired him. It was only natural that if he went walking the busy streets of Centra City at night, he would have a fan or three coming up to … Continue reading
Misty’s Discovery (Isle of Change, Chapter 20)
Misty was feeling…decidedly lost. Not in the physical sense. She was aware of how far she’d walked along the beach, as well as the distance and direction she’d have to go to make her way back to town. And it was a pleasant-enough evening; the surf was gentle, and the water warmed her toes with … Continue reading
Penny Saves Paldea, Chapter 10
The gates closed behind Arven with a demoralizing clang. He couldn’t believe he’d listened to Ortega’s Team Star buddies, talking him up about the Herba Mystica. And he doubly couldn’t believe he was thinking of taking them up on their offer. No. Juliana said she would help, and he would stick with that plan. Maybe … Continue reading
