"A Flicker in the Night" by Flaze You stared at the empty bowl, eyes transfixed on the invisible air floating around the remaining crumbs of what had once been your breakfast. Two servings of kible weren’t nearly enough for a young electryke and the soft growling noise that drowned out your...

"Disfigured" by Farla Some girls Vicky's age kept a whole team of pokemon, but Vicky had never wanted another pokemon but her Mary. Mary - Roseburn's Mary Mary, to be precise - came from the very last egg laid by their star granbull, Roseburn's Quite Contrary. Quite Contrary was magnificent...

"Dark-Clothed Small Human" by Shiny Phantump Second-Place Winner I am trapped. Alone. My siblings are gone. They were put into ice. We did not do what they wanted us to, so now they want to freeze us. I am the last one they need to freeze. Once the machine is ready, I will be frozen…...

"Burner" by kintsugi Roller, spray, gloves, mask. Nico chanted the checklist over and over again as he approached the alley. Act natural, he reminded himself, even as his hands shook. He was faintly aware of a couple walking down the street behind him, engaged in loud conversation. They didn’t...

"Ballast" by Wildboots Third-Place Winner I was on the last bus down Mt. Hokulani when I found out about Cass. Mom had called hours earlier, but there hadn’t been cellphone service on the mountain. I listened to the voicemail once, then immediately played it again, mashing my phone to my ear as...

Friends and Partners Contest Entries "Ballast" by Wildboots Third-Place Winner “Saint Bonapisa’s good luck for trainers,” Cass told me once. Maybe she should’ve kept some of that luck for herself. The drifblim was still following me, but if Lake Valor was what Cass wanted, then I’d find a way...

Friends and Partners One-Shot Contest Results The judges have been hard at work reading and reviewing this year's crop of one-shots, and now at last we're ready to reveal the results! We had sixteen entries this year, for what was maybe the most diverse and interesting crop of one-shots that...

Sup Bench. I'm trying (very slowly) to read through some of the mini bingo fills, so I figured I'd check yours out! I'm looking at Temporal Tower, Emera, and Rainbows of Hope (not yet in this thread, I know). My favorite of these is Temporal Tower! I'm a sucker for interjections like the clock...

All custom companions should now be added! Let me know if I missed you, and in general if you have a companion request from this event, please let me know in the next twenty-four hours. Also, missed this earlier: No! There will probably be a prize claim period after the end of Blacklight for...

Things are really picking up in this section! We’re coming up to where I left off reading before, too; I think there’s just a chapter or two left of what I’ve read, where Babs’ group is just beginning to explore the ship. Although we’re starting to see more of the other group, this is...

Welcome to the forums! I figured I’d give this one a look since I’m always up for Hoenn fic. I wasn’t totally sure what to expect, but a more brutal reimagining of what might have happened after Groudon was awakened is right up my alley. Really love the themes here: normal trainer confronted...

Welcome! Glad to have you. We do indeed have a number of people from Bulbagarden here, so hopefully you’ll feel at home. Looking forward to seeing some of your writing, if you’ve been doing more recently. Welcome again, and I hope you enjoy your time on Thousand Roads.

It’s always fun seeing more of your PWCH setting! It’s something that may have already happened in chapters I haven’t had the chance to read yet, but seeing more of Nip’s tribe and life outside the village was something I’d really been looking forward to. Nice to get a taste here. Although the...

I enjoy these sorts of scenes a lot! Obviously it’s always a question of execution, and when the tone swings around between scenes unintentionally, it’s awful. (Or, maybe, hilarious.) But I think introducing contrast with a scene that maybe seems “out of place” can be a very powerful technique...

Okay, at this point everyone who’s asked for a standard companion should have one. Custom companions will need to wait a few days for me to get back to my main computer to handle, but I’ve got them all marked down.

@kintsugi @Pen Thanks for sharing these! Looks like you two managed to put things together pretty well. And congrats on being the first to uncover oops-all-doctors! (Namo was just a doctor who didn't need a second doctor around to kill people!)

I appreciate this priceless work of art. Thank you for sharing it! But you can't post like this and not share what your predictions were. ;)

And some end-of-game notes: When designing this game, I had two primary considerations. The first of these is speed. My ideal for a game is that it last five to six day phases--I think this gives enough room for interesting play and day discussion, without allowing the game to drag on for...

At the end of the last day, cries to oust Mewtwo had been building. But as a new day dawns, those calling for his removal find themselves in the minority. Tefiren, in particular, thinks he's cracked the code--found the mafia, unraveled the whole game! He turns on Braixen instead, the fire-type...
