"A Voice's Burden" by IFBench It wasn’t like you had been unprepared for this. Mew painstakingly trained you for this position, giving as much guidance and support as they could. And yet, now, with your mentor gone, off into the distant future, you were left alone, lost. But you were the...

"A Shadow of a Doubt" by Farla It took so much longer than it should have to place each gilded ball in the nest of wood. Even assembling the simple pile of kindling had been a trial all of its own. The trembling of his hands worsened with each motion, and by the time he was trying to set the...

"Searching for a Resolution" by JFought Third Place Miraidon Flight Two pokémon trekked up the narrow forest path. Trees crowded the road’s edges, their branches arching to cover the sky with their leaves. Though it wasn’t enough to blot out the sight of the tower that stood tall above them...

"Retribution" by AbraPunk Dead, decomposing ocean-life drifted across the murky waters, bits of flesh peeling to scatter in the endless abyss. An encroaching black mass further tainted the waters, turning both it and the distant sands into an all-consuming void. Elsewhere, metal abominations...

"Only Human" by Shiny Phantump When you’re as old as time, the years start to blur together. I remember the first few moments so incredibly clearly, how long Dialga’s tentative first few seconds felt. The feeling of my siblings inventing their domains, creating their vessels. I recall my...

"Of Mon's First Disobedience" by Sinderella I was BORED–feeling a sense of weariness from lacking activity. It smelled bad, and I was fucking BORED. Father Arceus said I wasn't permitted to curse as such, but did I care? Absolutely the fuck not. It smelled bad; I was ANNOYED–slightly...

"Mountains Will Never" by kintsugi First Place Miraidon Flight Her birth was inconsequential. Her rebirth was agony. In that second-first moment that felt as long as a lifetime, she realized the secret: birth was normally gradual, a brain blossoming across days and years to catch up with the...

"Mew's Meddling Mischief" by HelloYellow17 Second/Third Place Miraidon Flight It was one of those warm, sticky-air nights. Usually Mew didn’t mind warm nights, but if there was one thing she didn’t like about this corner of the world, it was that it was always warm. Warm and sticky, even at...

"lacrima" by auspicious Second Place Koraidon Flight after “Reports are still coming in, but so far there’s an estimated two hundred thousand -” You turn off the television. Lorenzo is quiet; he does not object. His hands are shaking around the cup of tea he holds, so you carefully take it...

"Kokiʻo keʻokeʻo" by Starlight Aurate Honorable Mention Miraidon Flight The flower petals rustled gently as they swayed in the breeze, the wind carrying their perfume through the night air. The floral smell of white and pink hibiscuses filled the atmosphere with a sweet—and slightly tart—aroma...

"From the Ashes" by Flyg0n First Place Koraidon Flight Endless desert dunes sprawled before us; an unbroken sea of sand. In the distance rocky canyons gutted the land like reefs, and a dark mountain split the horizon, smoke pouring from the mouth. Together we soared across this expanse, the...

"Free to a Loving Home" by Ambyssin You are MC-TF-001. Today is activation day fifty. You sit patiently on a cold, white, steel floor, watching your pack of white coat meatbags— no, humans intently. C://PACK/SHORT_BLACK_FUR praises you for not believing the pack is malnourished. It took five...

"The face of time, the will of wishes and eternal immortality." by Myler714 This is Jirachi, transcribing my thoughts into crystals, yet again. I do this every time I wake up, in the hopes that some day, someone will be able to read them. I haven’t yet seen any evidence that that has ever...

"Darkrai's Eyes" by BossCar Kroonstad, 1635. The late morning sun beams its rays down upon the Alkmaardam region's largest city, the sky poked by the spire of a imposing cathedral. Vaporeon happily swin throughout the canals, several approaching passerbys to receive pets. Ships come and go...

"All in Good Time" by Lord Knee “Good morning, everyone, and welcome back. I hope y—” Chairs scraped obnoxiously against the hardwood floor, with students settling in or turning around to talk to their friends. Minute shivers trickled through their bodies, the chill of winter not quite...

"109" by canisaries We hate her. We hate how she laughed in our face. We hate how she told her friends. We hate how they shouted after us as we walked. We hate how the whole village joined them. We love how we strangled her... Read the rest: TR Judge Comments Chibi Pika The moment I...

Aeons and Avatars Contest Entries "109" by canisaries Links: Judges' Comments | TR What legendary pokémon did you decide to write about for your entry? What made you want to write about them? Spiritomb is only very, very, very arguably a legendary, but I figured it was just legendary...

Sounds like an interesting idea! There's a lot going on here, but I think the themes you're touching on in terms of pokémon vs technology and human religion vs legendaries are intriguing. There's definitely plenty to play around with there. I don't know that I have much to say about specific...
