The chapter below deals with contemplation of suicide from a stream of consciousness perspective, with a second person narrator acting as the kind of thoughts that spur it on. I understand very, very much if you don’t want to read it. I will post a summary of this chapter at the start of the...

Ariados (Spinarak) | Ālìduōsī (Xiànqiú) Licio major alola | Licio major domesticus Overview It is somewhat uncommon for two subspecies of the same pokémon to coexist in the same range. There are forces that encourage specialization, but the pokémon in an area usually continue to interbreed...

I'm not sure how much left there is to say that others haven't covered. This felt more like an interlude chapter or spinoff to another fic to be sure. I think that, as others have said, just bringing up plot points once in passing (powers, science) is weird if they don't go anywhere. There's the...

Oh boy here we go. Questions 1-6 today.

Normal 1.4: Period Kekoa October 2, 2019 “Go, Whiskers!” You don’t say anything as you send Hekili onto the field. What’s the point? She knows her name and what’s about to happen. “Now, Fake Out!” Just as you see what Whiskers is doing, a shockwave ripples across the field and smacks Hekili...

Ledian (Ledyba) Quatropunctata alabaster Overview There is a peculiar sort of modern arrogance that history can be divided into two phases: the era of primitive mysticism and the Age of Science. The latter began only a few centuries ago. Before it no significant advances were made beyond...

Butterfree (Caterpie, Metapod) Delicativis alisiris Overview There is a paradox at the heart of Alolan ecology. Virtually all pokémon on the island were introduced by humans, either by the original Polynesian settlers or the waves of colonizers and immigrants who came after them. Alola's...

Done: https://forums.thousandroads.net/index.php?threads/heroes-after-all.46/#post-712 I have two stories for review. Take your pick. Broken Things: https://forums.thousandroads.net/index.php?threads/broken-things.57/ The Alola Pokedex...

Okay uh. So I very much liked this. I usually find aura to be a game breaker, but this balances it out by having Aaron 1) suck at it and 2) be surrounded by other people who can do the same things but better. Makes it a fun gimmick without being a "wow look at my super badass Ash/OC" deal. Not...

Normal 1.3: Almost Natural Genesis July 27, 2019 It’s raining. That means it’s good weather for catching poliwag. You said that you’d wanted a water-type because you were in shock and don’t even remember why and Father strictly forbade you from getting a popplio. That leaves poliwag and the...

Raticate (Rattata) Rattus vulgaris ho’ouka Overview Raticate are nothing if not versatile. Their mix of hardiness, intelligence, and fecundity has allowed them to find a niche in almost every corner of the world. Most species and subspecies adjust well to captivity and the Alolan raticate is...

a) Unova Trainer Fic b) I might not have regular computer access June 28-July 7 c) I can start if needed, but I'd rather not.

Well, uh, that was certainly something. Mew is adorable. And terrifying. Usually more of the former, but sometimes a little more of the latter. I wonder if it was messing with Sara's head when she forgave it rather quickly. Or if she's just being eight and doing the thing eight-year-olds do...

Gumshoos (Yungoos) Ratel ahati Overview Gumshoos has been one of the most useful pokémon in captivity for millennia. Hardy, fierce and loyal, they have been the scouts and sentinels of settlers and soldiers since at least the Old Kingdom of Egypt. Gumshoos grow quickly, are intelligent enough...

Normal 1.2: Firemane Pixie They’re talking about you again. You don’t understand many of the words, but you know the tone. Talking more in breath than sound, trying to sound quieter than they really are. The same fake concern they take on the moment they turn away from your table, like you...

Toucannon (Pikipek, Trumbeak) Nukuloloa lydia Overview After years of studying the finches of the Galapagos and refining his theory of macroevolution, Charles Darwin took one look at an Alolan toucannon and decided his theory didn’t apply to Pokémon. Princess Lydia Aholo, heir to the Alolan...

Hello, I remembered why I love your work lol. Honestly don't have much in the way of concrit here so, um, just take some praise? Please? Wanting to touch bats and ruins and not being able to but still sometimes trying anyway is a mood I can relate to. Going off trail is v serious. Am glad...

Primarina (Popplio, Brionne) Aria aria Overview Popplio is often described as the middle choice of Alola’s traditional starters. Rowlet have somewhat bizarre care requirements as a photosynthetic bird. Litten are fairly similar to common household pets. Pinnipeds are not as strange as rowlet...

Note on Representation This story deals with analogues to real world groups, albeit through an alternate universe lens. I have personal experience with some, but definitely not all of the things this story deals with. I have tried to read enough to not make big mistakes in my knowledge gaps, but...

Torracat (Litten, Incineroar) Pyropanthera gladius alola Overview The primary appeal of torracat as a starter rests in their typicality. Children who grew up in a household with a pet feline pokémon already have a headstart in caring for and understanding their first partner. They are also...
