<><><> The days came and went without much incident. Unlike what had happened in the residential district and the marketplace, it seemed that in general things were very quiet in the square. That was, of course, until one day Diyem had suddenly entered the minds of the Pokemon that happened to...

It had only lasted for an instant. One more later, and the Shade split its head open as eight tendrils jutted into Cynthian's shoulders. Two things raced through his mind at that moment--pain, head-splitting pain, and horrible, overwhelming, dark thoughts as the rest of the Shade's body burrowed...

"What does that mean?" Maple repeated, frowning. "...I actually didn't fully expect you to manifest these powers to begin with. Are your bodies truly that unstable that mere exposure to..." She trailed off, and while her tone was flat and stoic as usual, her brow did furrow just enough that she...

"How do you mean?" Maple asked, standing right behind him. In her hand was a book that she had been in the middle of reading, and she had probably been elsewhere in the guild before Dave had called for her. "You manifested your powers despite not touching it?"

It had been a few days of recovery for Owen, and even though he had felt just fine by the next day, Chimecho had insisted he stay for one extra day to make sure he was properly recovered. But now, after spending time with Brisa and lamenting their lack of being able to battle during that down...

Here's a long-overdue review of chapter 1! I want to say one thing about this first and foremost--even though it wasa bit of a slow start, this chapter reminded me of how effective exposition writing can be to get a lot of interpersonal and character details covered at once. Yes, it slows...

"Of course, of course!" Cheerful as always, but it contrasted greatly with Cynthian's mood, and the negative aura was certainly something that Spinda noticed. Still, what better cure for gloom than a little cheer? But something else had different ideas in mind, and it skittered and slithered...

Alright, after some deliberation... 6. Pain Split will create a status between the user and the target. For that turn, any damage the user performs against the target will also 1:1 mirror the damage to the target, and vice versa. 7. Fling will give a 50% boost to the thrown Iron Thorn-like...

"...Krriih?" It was technically one chirp. "I guess it's named Squiggly now," Owen said. The fatigue was starting to settle in, but he didn't let it show. "Let's head back for now... Maybe we can put him in your secret room or something, Dave." His flame was a little dim from tiredness, but...

The Shade paused, but eventually replied with two chirps. Owen perked up, hiding his beaming when Dave agreed, though he also recognized that reluctance. Dave didn't seem like the sort who would be as interested in taking on an obligation like this, but... "Well, if Dave ever wants to get out...

And once again, the little thing stared at Dave, answering nothing, though it didn't seem very distressed. Then again, without a face, and without any sort of natural body language to go off of, it could also be trying to deliberate whether Dave's head or foot would taste better first. Owen...

The Shade stared blankly at Dave, if it had a face to stare with. Soda sighed. "Well, alright, fine," he said. "I guess if it actually shows some intelligence, I'll... mention it to Maple later or something. You take this one." He gave it to Owen, who would be able to more easily hold it. "I'm...

"Hmm... I'm afraid not," Truffle said. "It appears to still be invisible, but perhaps if we put water in the jar, or otherwise dusted the insides..." The Shade hissed at Nate from within, banging and spattering its head against the wall, leaving patches of inky blackness that eventually receded...

"Hey, who said anything about letting that thing out?" Soda growled. "It could be trying to fool you. Cooperate until it can get away." The Shade hissed at Soda and slithered around rapidly. "Maybe we can get a bigger jar, or something, or... I dunno, put it somewhere that it won't be all...

1. All damage acquired from damage-dealing moves. 2. It does not reset damage, but it does limit it to the amount of HP you had lost. 3. Player phase. 4. All for that turn. It's effectively a 1-turn Shield but with double damage. 5. Same mechanics as Shield; two guards will halve the damage...

I have a minor announcement to make about how bosses with high evasion works, now that a lot of people have been asking about it. I ran it by the balance team and we came up with something that's a little less nebulous on my part. Previously, enemies with evasion would dodge "the moves that did...

While they talked and Treasure Town went about with its usual routines, Diyem scanned the area for anything particularly strange. Finding nothing, let alone any distortions, he said, I suspect that you will not find anything today, but perhaps tomorrow, or the next, you may. The central plaza is...

Content warning: This chapter contains some more intense violence than usual near the middle. Special Episode 5 – I Promise You must remember your duties and your purpose and follow what your body is most capable of. The Magcargo should not be a woodworker. The Golem should not be a fisher...

They had to be quick, but thankfully the team was faster than the slug, and in no time it was sealed in the jar. Truffle looked pleased. "Wonderful! You captured the Shade! It seems that one had been corrupting the neighborhood leader all this time, putting him in quite a bad mood. Hopefully now...

1. Allllright so after looking at how the move worked, I didn't realize it doubled each time. Thought it increased linearly. Holy shit. Okay, so. Rollout will be working a little differently. 40 base power, goes up linearly (x2, x3, etc.) up to 5. Defense Curl will give it a 50% boost to...
