All right, that is time! No further entries will be accepted after this point. I'll be going through everything we've received over the next couple of hours and will update with more information once I've got the full set of entries in hand!

Nate would have stuck to the back of the room regardless, but today especially he'd wanted to remain discreet. Worried that he might get called on to recount what had happened to him when he was attacked, "Like I ain't had to explain that shit enough for one fucking lifetime." Hadn't been sure...

"No, I think it was mostly pure stupidity," Mightyena said softly while she watched Keldeo bathe Nate in blue light. When the glow faded, she nudged him with her nose. He groaned, and Mightyena relaxed slightly. "Thank you," she said to Keldeo. "And I apologize for my trainer's behavior." It...

This is your twenty-four hour warning! There is officially one day left to get your one-shot submission in if you haven't already. Good luck, everyone! Also note that I always send a reply to any submission I receive to let you know I've gotten it! If you've sent your story and not heard back...

For a few seconds, Nate thought he might have done it. Even when the keldeo took off running, Nate managed to hang on, ducking his head against the wind and focusing on nothing more than keeping a tight grip around the legend's neck. Did that seriously work? All he had to do was hang on for a...

Nate was prepared for some kind of macho display this time around, but his gut still clenched when the keldeo abruptly got all up in his face. The guy was fast, if nothing else. As the keldeo rattled off a list of the various legends' accomplishments, Nate made a circular get on with it motion...

Summary of what Nate saw when he was taken by the kidnapper, for anyone who doesn't want to try and sift through my posts: - The kidnapper used Flash and Secret Power - Nate was being held in some kind of void space, a dark, empty space with perhaps some stars in it - There were other people...

Of course Nate flinched when the hydro pump nearly took his head off, but he recovered a moment later. So maybe calling out the keldeo hadn't been his brightest idea ever. But it had worked, hadn't it? Nate crossed his arms and feigned disinterest, like he nearly got decapitated every day. Which...

Kanto, huh? After all the Hoenn types knocking around, Nate was a little surprised to find someone else from his home region hanging out here. "Right, yeah. Bunch of weird ones on the list. I don't have the first fucking clue what a Marshmallowed is or nothing." He took another look out at the...

Nate's eyebrows rose slightly when the girl reacted immediately to something Mightyena had said. Another person who could talk to pokémon? It was starting to feel like he was the only person who fucking couldn't. Which, yeah, that would track, wouldn't it? He wavered on the edge of saying...

For a while, things were peaceful down by the lake. At least theoretically. Nate drummed his fingers on his leg and squinted against the too-bright glitters coming off the water. He really should have taken it easier on the caffeine. Meanwhile Mightyena dozed, or at least he thought she did...

Original teams are entirely welcome! The villain doesn’t even need to be a member of an “evil team” or criminal organization at all if you don’t want!

With nothing immediately pressing to do, Nate headed out of the cafe, determined to get some actual peace and quiet this time. Not that he minded, actually, that the other two had shown up. But he needed time to think, goddamn it, especially since that conversation had been another huge...

"The power of fucking friendship, then," Nate said, smiling faintly as he gave his head another shake. It was true that close interactions with humans tended to augment pokémon's abilities in strange ways, like mega evolution and all that shit. Infinity energy blah blah something something, it...

Hello, everyone! I hope your writing's been going well and you're enjoying work on your contest one-shots. This is a quick reminder that the submission deadline is approximately sixty-eight hours from now, or just a little under three days! We've received several lovely entries already, but we'd...

Nate's recollections unleashed a storm of speculation from the other two trainers, and he relaxed a bit. So long as the attention was off him and Mightyena, he was happy. And it was good to hear some people actually trying to figure this shit out instead of milling around uselessly or hoping...

Nate wasn't entirely sure what to make of the lookalike pokémon's response. He should go back to cursing people out...? Odette shooed her pokémon away before Nate could figure out how to respond to that, but Nate called after it, "Hey! I wouldn't say no to some espresso if you've got it!"...

Nate inclined his head ever so slightly when Odette raised the cup of coffee. She was thinking she'd get some answers out of the rich guy with that? What was she planning to do, dump it on him? Was she trying to suck up? He racked his brains trying to remember who the hell "Orzo" was. The hypno...

As usual, Mightyena was the first to notice someone approaching their table. Despite the fact that Nate was supposed to be watching the door. Great. Too much goddamned thinking. Nate took a quick glance around when Mightyena tensed, moving as little as possible, and in the near-empty cafe it was...

Nate slouched into the cafe well after ten, hoping that most people would have grabbed their grub and set out to do whatever already. The nurses had all wanted him to stay a bit longer, for "observation" or whatever the fuck, or at least leave Mightyena, but it wasn't like nobody could do shit...
