    Chapter 7 Dusknoir Believes After Robin, Lifis and Nina had disappeared through the Teleport Gem, Pellehan had worked up his last gasps of strength to lay against a nearby rock. And so there he lay, awaiting death to claim him. He wasn’t sure how long he remained there. Fifteen minutes...

    Pokémon Do Psychic Cats Dream of Electric Sheep?

    Hello, Espy! Since Review Blitz is up and running, it's a good opportunity to leap back into this fic which I haven't gotten to for a good while. We're still in the early days in the school arc in this PSMD rewrite, and I'm curious to see how else this arc does things differently from the game...

    Chapter 6 The Keeper of the Flame The Dungeon they entered afterwards was a breeze. Barren Pass, as Abundant Pass had come to be called in these desolate times, was a hill of petrified trees, begone of leaves, blackened rock, and dry soil. Mercifully, the place was bereft of Pokémon inside…...

    Pokémon Fledglings

    Hello, hello! Review Blitz time means a prime opportunity to leap back into doing some more chapters for Fledglings, and on top of that, I still have to repay a favour to Fobbie for beta reading Prelude in Darkness. So no better time to get that done than now, and while I'm at it, jump into a...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Path of Valor

    Hi, Amby! Figured I'd come back here since Review Blitz is a go-go, and that means there's no better time to get caught up on your fic after a while away from it. Now that the fic's in its home stretch with its weekly release schedule, we might well be nearing the end, and I definitely want to...

    Chapter 37 Calamity, Herald of Opportunity In all his twenty-five years, Leonid had never experienced an earthquake. Certainly, he knew what they were, as over the years, occasional earthquakes would rock Selenia’s eastern oblasts near the Empyrean Mountains which would require varying degrees...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rebirth

    Hello! It's been quite a while since I last reviewed this fic two Review Blitzes ago, but here I am back again to review it for an assigned V-Wheel over on Writers' United. That said, since there's a Review Blitz going on here on TR, I might make this a longer review than just the one chapter...

    Chapter 4 Would-Be Explorers Nina stared at the newcomer, mouth agape. She’d seen many kinds of Pokémon during her travels - bipedal, quadrupedal, winged, floating, grounded - many different species populated the world even after time’s collapse. But none ever quite looked like this stranger...

    Chapter 3 A Familiar Foe To have Dusknoir Shuranabi on one’s tail was a sign they would soon be had. That was what some more rebellious types whispered with fear throughout the years, and with good reason. Shuranabi was the master tactician and right hand ‘mon of Primal Dialga, the corrupted...

    Bittercold A chill went down Noah’s spine, both from the biting cold air around him and from fear at the reality he was facing right now. The Bittercold, exuding an oppressive air that sapped the Oshawott’s strength, floated before him and Cadmus, who had fallen some distance back. It did...

    Kyurem “You two…You have changed the future irrevocably.” Noah stared up agape at the giant grey dragon before him, in the roots of his mind after slaying the Bittercold. Cadmus stood next to him, just as shocked. “The future is the truth; that unshakeable pillar that must not be changed.”...
