Silver's rather unexpected, and rather spectacular, evolution had kind of put a damper on Nate's last visit to the lab. He hadn't even asked if Chip had found anything interesting in the pile of Rocket shit they'd dragged out of the Isle of Light, or anything at all about whatever the fuck had...

One-Shot Contest: Friends and Partners The partnership between humans and Pokémon has been central to the franchise since the very beginning. Trainers capture Pokémon to train for battle, Rangers call on them for aid, humans-turned-Pokémon team up with true Pokémon to face danger--no matter...

"Yay!" Rocky snapped out of his trance, raring to go at the prospect of a change of scene. "We should hang out more often, Bahamut. I bet you have a lot of cool stories. You've been so many different places." "Way to make a guy change his mind, Rocky," Nate said. "How about we play the Silence...

Nate sighed. "Yeah. Could be." Not like there could have been an easy answer, anyway. If there had been, they'd already be off dealing with it. "Well, I guess we're probably gonna head back into town." He'd been hoping for a little more information about what was going to happen to Silver, but...

"They'd notice it flying around up in space, but not if it was digging around down there? Wouldn't that piss Groudon or somebody off? Or Zygarde... I was talking to that Bean guy recently, and he didn't mention any weird shit going on underground."

Attacking from inside... Now that was interesting. Bahamut's description made it sound like there was one of those dungeon things in there. If the Eternatus around here was smaller, you'd think there'd be less room for there to be anything inside, but it sounded like there was some kind of...

"Yeah, Maple was saying your Eternatus didn't sound like the ones she knew of. So if it sounds like this one's different than the one here, uh, sounds like that's a good thing." The size of the moon, good fucking Christ. Rocky would fucking love that. Nate glanced at the familiar, who was...

Nate's eyes narrowed. "Yeah, I heard you mighta had a run-in with Rocket before. Didn't realize they showed up all over the place like that." And in every world where there was a Team Rocket, a Red would rise up to oppose them? Maybe? Made some uncomfortably mythic-sounding shit out of what...

Awesome! I look forward to reading your entries. Meanwhile, the poll is now closed, and it looks like this year's theme will be human/pokémon partnership! I'd also like to give a shout out to our judging panel this year: Umbramatic, kyeugh, canisaries, and HelloYellow17! Thanks to all of you...

"Huh." Nate stared up at the pokémon Bahamut had projected. Yeah, that sure was some kind of bat thing. Sounded like it was some kind of day or night evolution, like umbreon and espeon, maybe? Which one would Silver rather be, if he got to choose? "Oh, well. I guess if it's something that has to...

Oh. Well, shit. Nate had been hoping he could avoid the whole "dead son" thing if he kept things general. "Oh, uh, something like you right now, huh?" Nate forced himself to keep eye contact with the necrozma, just pretend the whole personal tragedy hadn't even come into things. "Supposedly...

Sure, great. Way to make things fucking weird. Nate took a moment to try and get his heart rate under control. Meanwhile Rocky dusted himself off and made his way over to them, looking perfectly chipper about the whole thing. Nate took a deep breath. "Yeah, uh. You know that guy, Silver? The...

Nate was complaining about the snow when something huge thudded to the ground just behind him, knocking him forward on his face and Rocky over into the snow. Nate scrambled to his feet, whirling to face the way he'd come with an attack already building in his chest. Coming face-to-face with...

You never could be sure where Bahamut was going to turn up. Nate had tried hanging around at the Guild, waiting, until he'd gotten fed up and gone off to try somewhere else. Rocky had said maybe they ought to wait more than twenty minutes, but whatever, he liked hanging out at the Guild for...

"You can count on us!" Rocky said. "We'll do the best investigation ever! There's no way Giovanni's gonna get away from us!" "Yeah," Nate said, with another hint of a smile. "I guess we'll catch you later, then. Maybe someplace with food next time, huh? I'm sure you know a few good places."...

"Yeah. No proof. And Silver conveniently just decided to take a thousand-year nap or whatever the fuck." Nate sighed. "But be on the lookout for strange pikachu, I guess. That's the little bastard you really gotta watch out for." Though now that he was thinking of it... Goddammit, he needed to...

"Well, Silver can't remember much, but he sure as fuck remembers Red. Says he gets a real bad vibe whenever he sees a charizard or pikachu, and real bad vibes from the idea of Red himself. No guarantee he got dragged here along with Silver, but it seems pretty likely to me. And hard to imagine...

"That's great!" Rocky said. "Then Diyem's got to be on the Air Continent! That's a whole lot less to search than the entire world." He grinned at Nate, tail thrashing behind him with excitement. "Don't get your hopes up," Nate said, although he couldn't suppress a faint smile. "We know he was...

"Diyem mentioned burning," Nate said. "Wherever he was, it was burning him. So, I mean, he's like a living ball of darkness and hatred or whatever the fuck, hugs and pictures of cute baby meowth probably burn him, too, but I figure Giovanni ain't building no torture dungeon of hugs and sappy...

Nate inclined his head slightly at the mention of an "old human lab." That would almost be too obvious... but it was certainly interesting. Might be worth checking out later. Right now, though, they were looking for something else. "Any of these friend areas hot? Like, I mean 'fire' hot. Lava...
