a/n: Hi, everyone! Rowan and I are excited to finally start posting the sequel to Mergers. The awesome artwork of Aquafeles is by Mahalia. (She’s often open to commissions, so be sure to check out her other work!) We’ll post the larger version when we get a little farther into the story–otherwise it’d be a … Continue reading
If there was one thing Clavell prided himself on, it was his sense of subtlety. Unlike the ruffians of Team Star, he knew when a situation required a quieter approach. Take the present moment, for example. He could be marching into the Ruchbah Squad’s base, demanding the full story behind why a wealthy business heir … Continue reading
Gladion pressed himself into the corner of a small corridor, watching a pair of uniformed women pass by. They chatted each other up about New Year’s plans and the airport’s lousy coffee, but neither of them looked his direction. He slowly released the breath he’d been holding, to the detriment of his senses. The corner … Continue reading
a/n: This is it! The final chapter of Mergers. Thanks so much for your patience all this time and we hope you enjoy it! Ash was laying in a forest. At least, that’s what it felt like. His eyes were closed, but he could feel cold, wet stone against his back and heard a distant … Continue reading
As much as Fi wanted to quickly grind Misty into a pulp, she did allow her a moment to whisper her moveset to Ash, no doubt with some potential suggestions as well. Pathetic, really. The boss’s kid couldn’t even figure out how to battle without someone holding his hand. Don’t let your guard down, she … Continue reading
There was something about preparing for the battle of her life that made the next thirty-six hours fly by for Fi. She still slept and ate normally, of course. It would have been foolish not to. That was the trouble with Diva and Dunce. They knew Ash was an idiot and thought it gave them … Continue reading
a/n: We know it’s been a while, and we hope you enjoy this new chapter. Please understand that this is a first draft, and we may make edits to it before posting on outside sites in two weeks. Raven was recovering nicely. The little Pokémon had a lot of spirit. Not unlike Fi herself. She … Continue reading
Gladion gripped the Master Ball, still warm in his hands from its capture. He’d mentally prepared himself for this moment as much as he could. But the fact remained that he’d always succeeded by hiding in the shadows, taking his opponents by surprise. They were certainly surprised now. But as for shadows, Gladion was out … Continue reading
Giovanni was not fond of the idea of leaving his gym tended to by idiots. But it couldn’t be helped. He had to see to Sabrina’s merger personally, and she had made clear she wasn’t leaving Saffron City. Agent Pierce and Agent Fiora had returned home, but the latter had been quite drained and needed … Continue reading
She awoke on a marble floor. Nearby, a trace of scented ashes wafted from an extinguished marble brazier. Pierce was by her side, and was the only one who seemed to notice she had woken. The rest of the room was chaos. White-garbed students ran this way and that, yammering exclamations. No less than three … Continue reading
