  • Our "Weird and Wonderful" one-shot contest is now underway! Pokémon are strange and magical creatures, and for our writing contest this year, we want to see you higlight some of their oddest abilities and features! From stories about luxray thieves using X-ray vision to scope out targets to those about trainers bewitching opponents with their stantlers' mystic antlers, any sort of fic featuring a pokémon's unusual lore is welcome! Entries are due at 11:59 PM July 13th UTC.

    Chapter 117: D1V1D3 BY Z3R0 Igneous watched Tessa practically skipping through the Observatory's central hub. Her bag flapped against her side with every step she took. "Someone's in a good mood today." The volcarona chuckled. "Yep!" Tessa's tail wagged. The riolu held up a piece of paper...

    Chapter 116: Extremely Eevoboosted Veevee Volley It was utter bedlam. Some kind of techno beat blared from the amphitheater speakers. Xander and Gigavee danced in total sync. Their Tera jewels pulsated with multicolored lights in time to the beat. So did the speakers. And the stage lights. Was...

She aimed Rayquaza to charge into Cerberus, only to gasp when Raikou opened her mouth wide, fangs crackling with electricity. The dragapult barely managed to...

    Chapter 113: Empty Words "Lemme ask you something." Hydreigon paused in front of the wall of fog representing the mystery dungeon entrance. He turned to Virizion, who sized him up. "Why a hydreigon?" she wondered. His head-hands shot up in unison. "H-Huh?" "You can change your form, right?"...

    Sixth Anniversary Fic Readings

    Oh, hey, I can actually join this this year, I think. And I can read stuff and do silly voices. Anyone who's been in United's goodfic readings can attest to that. As for an excerpt, here's a weird out of context one:

    Chapter 112: Live, Laugh, Levincia "It's really gone, then." Leo strode across the top of Destiny Tower, gazing up at the bright blue sky. Sparkles rained down from the sky. The sun was exactly as far away as it should be. The arceus relaxed. Things had gotten too close. For a brief time...

    Pokémon Once a Thief

    Wow, this chapter felt... surprisingly shorter than the usual ones. I guess the word count being around 25% smaller will do that, even if it is still a high number by PMD fic standards. There's a certain irony that this fic has now also seen the outgunned protags' luck finally run out...

    Chapter 111: Your Chariot Awaits No amount of training could prepare Noctum for all the dirt this ursaluna could kick up. He rolled right in midair, only for a plume of dirt to erupt underneath him. It didn't really hurt, but the force still sent the cosmic charizard crashing to the ground...

    Pokémon PMD: Flowerbeds

    I will always advocate against Cosmo as a POV character because he works better outside the perspective. XP 3spooky5me dungeon. Once they actually reached the weird stuff. Felt a bit weird to have all the mushy-gushy love stuff happening in the middle of the exploration, even if it is pointed...

    Chapter 110: Are You Eternatus Entertained? Noctum walked his empty plate and silverware across the hotel suite toward the kitchenette. Scarlett was already coiled beside the open dishwasher, tapping the beaded end of her tail against it. "So, things are going okay so far?" the dragonair...

    Pokémon Once a Thief

    The beginnings of the plot-critical lore™, though it's only some vague stuff. I'd say this is foreshadowing what the final challenge will be... but you keep your power scales low. So, don't think anyone's fighting God in this fic. Certainly not this band of idiots. Though it seems the vague...

    Chapter 109: Matter of Time Akari walked across the grass and flower-filled field, shaking her head. "I'm not sure what I expected." She placed Dialga's ball — the one made from fragments of the Red Chain — back into her satchel. Noctum looked over his shoulder. An alpha-sized rapidash leered...
