Normal 1.7: A White Muk Genesis October 11, 2019 You aren’t sure what you were expecting to feel. But calm? That never occurred to you. There’s wind in your hair and you know that your locks are only held in place by the weight of the water in them. You closed your eyes a long time ago...

I (6F) have a human friend (15F) who doesn't understand very basic things about the world. She gets mad when I try to train her and I think she might leave me for some other pokemon she's shown interest in. Is this worth the effort? Or by the end of the story (v minor spoilers, just current...

Zoroark (Zorua) Dolosusfur olympia Overview Every North American culture, from the Mississippians to the Dakota to the Aztecs, had a variation on the same myth. Sometimes a child would abruptly stop talking in the night. As they grew up they would slowly start talking again, albeit with less...

Malamar (Inkay) Praestigiae maximus verne Overview The ocean floor comprises roughly 70% of the Earth’s surface. Humans have visited less than 1% of it in person and only surveyed 5% of it with unmanned research vessels. Most of what we know about life in the abyssal zone of the ocean comes...

As promised, here’s a summary of 1.5: The chapter opens with an extended scene of Cuicatl interacting with her brother, Achcauhtli, after school one day. He complains about a headache similar to the migraines his sister gets. After offering to stay and taking care of some chores, she flies away...

Lopunny (Buneary) Lepus maximus familiaris Overview Lopunny is a domesticated descendant of European diggersby. It is believed that they were first domesticated in what is now Germany and were, at least originally, much bulkier and not nearly as cute. Generations of selective breeding produced...

The chapter below deals with contemplation of suicide from a stream of consciousness perspective, with a second person narrator acting as the kind of thoughts that spur it on. I understand very, very much if you don’t want to read it. I will post a summary of this chapter at the start of the...

Ariados (Spinarak) | Ālìduōsī (Xiànqiú) Licio major alola | Licio major domesticus Overview It is somewhat uncommon for two subspecies of the same pokémon to coexist in the same range. There are forces that encourage specialization, but the pokémon in an area usually continue to interbreed...

I'm not sure how much left there is to say that others haven't covered. This felt more like an interlude chapter or spinoff to another fic to be sure. I think that, as others have said, just bringing up plot points once in passing (powers, science) is weird if they don't go anywhere. There's the...

Oh boy here we go. Questions 1-6 today.

Normal 1.4: Period Kekoa October 2, 2019 “Go, Whiskers!” You don’t say anything as you send Hekili onto the field. What’s the point? She knows her name and what’s about to happen. “Now, Fake Out!” Just as you see what Whiskers is doing, a shockwave ripples across the field and smacks Hekili...

Ledian (Ledyba) Quatropunctata alabaster Overview There is a peculiar sort of modern arrogance that history can be divided into two phases: the era of primitive mysticism and the Age of Science. The latter began only a few centuries ago. Before it no significant advances were made beyond...

Butterfree (Caterpie, Metapod) Delicativis alisiris Overview There is a paradox at the heart of Alolan ecology. Virtually all pokémon on the island were introduced by humans, either by the original Polynesian settlers or the waves of colonizers and immigrants who came after them. Alola's...

Done: https://forums.thousandroads.net/index.php?threads/heroes-after-all.46/#post-712 I have two stories for review. Take your pick. Broken Things: https://forums.thousandroads.net/index.php?threads/broken-things.57/ The Alola Pokedex...

Okay uh. So I very much liked this. I usually find aura to be a game breaker, but this balances it out by having Aaron 1) suck at it and 2) be surrounded by other people who can do the same things but better. Makes it a fun gimmick without being a "wow look at my super badass Ash/OC" deal. Not...

Normal 1.3: Almost Natural Genesis July 27, 2019 It’s raining. That means it’s good weather for catching poliwag. You said that you’d wanted a water-type because you were in shock and don’t even remember why and Father strictly forbade you from getting a popplio. That leaves poliwag and the...

Raticate (Rattata) Rattus vulgaris ho’ouka Overview Raticate are nothing if not versatile. Their mix of hardiness, intelligence, and fecundity has allowed them to find a niche in almost every corner of the world. Most species and subspecies adjust well to captivity and the Alolan raticate is...

a) Unova Trainer Fic b) I might not have regular computer access June 28-July 7 c) I can start if needed, but I'd rather not.

Well, uh, that was certainly something. Mew is adorable. And terrifying. Usually more of the former, but sometimes a little more of the latter. I wonder if it was messing with Sara's head when she forgave it rather quickly. Or if she's just being eight and doing the thing eight-year-olds do...
