    The Festival of Masks

    "Yes, humans and Pokemon aren't so different from each other. That's one of our shrine's tenets, in fact! Well, I do hope you can return when you're done with whatever whoever brought you wherever for. I'm sure your loved ones miss you." She presses a hand to her heart, and involuntarily...

    The Festival of Masks

    "What are you talking about?" she asks, lightly tilting her head with a smile. "Of course you're a human. Unless my intuition is wrong. I think I'm right, but you could well just have a very human-like heart! Do you consider yourself one?" She laughs a little. Maybe she's playing around a bit...

    Pokémon Nori Carino: Abyssal Despair
    Threadmarks: Prologue

    It was a Monday morning like any other for a traveling trainer. Waking up in the Pokemon Center – thank goodness for free lodgings – and getting ready for the rest of the day. The next step on her journey lay ahead of her. Well, that wasn’t exactly true. Julia had something of a wait on her...

    Pokémon Nori Carino: Abyssal Despair

    A beloved nature show host perishes in a freak accident during an undersea filming expedition, shocking the world. Knowing the public will call for the tragic culprit's blood against the host's wishes, his producer appeals to the Officials to have Pokemon Rehabilitator Nori Carino train and...

    The Festival of Masks

    "Thanks, made the one myself," she says to Theo, posing a little. "And no, silly. I'm talking about your other mask," she replies. She lets that sink in before saying something that may be even more alarming. "It's the hardly the first time I've seen someone go to a festival as what's in their...

    The Festival of Masks

    "I'm sure it'll be a festival to remember. You take care!" the elderly priestess says, waving much more cordially as she sees the revered Pokemon take to the skies. He had received a cue, and intended to live life. Her hands go to her hips and a grin comes to her face. It seems things were about...

    The Festival of Masks

    Satomi nods in agreement. "Yes. I've seen many pass on. I have spoken with many spirits who had lingering regrets over what they could not accomplish in their life. I even had to exorcise a few. We all must face our time eventually, but some of us go more untimely. It is indeed a great honor to...

    The Festival of Masks

    Quite the bold reply. She responds to the Pokemon equally boldly by slowly yet fearlessly approaching, arms folded behind her back. "Revered Fezandipiti, if I'm not mistaken," the elderly priestess neutrally greets in an equally low tone that is just barely audible, giving a respectful bow to...

    The Festival of Masks

    Satomi had a swagger in her step as she made her way down Reveler's Road. It seemed from the footprints that the Loyal Three were off to the festival as well. One even took flight. A fun little thought occurred to her. Pokemon were quite sentient, but not all of them could process human...

    The Festival of Masks

    The priestess was all ready to go about her business, maybe greet anyone. When she crosses over into the grounds of the plaza, the sight of the the ruins makes her take pause. A smirk comes to her mouth, perhaps an unwitting one. Now what could have happened here? Satomi performs an...

    The Festival of Masks

    She smiles to herself. So her intuition was correct after all. "A pleasure to have met you, Your Majesty," she says with sincere respect. "And you enjoy it as well. Perhaps we'll bump into each other later?" With this, Satomi goes and checks into her room at the community center, having made...

    The Festival of Masks

    "Called a camera," she says with a wink. "Think of it as a device that creates a picture of what's in front of it. 'Course, the ones today are much more effective than the ones when I was little." "Anyway," she says with that. "Was nice chatting with you, but I need to go change into something...

    The Festival of Masks

    The woman closes her eyes and her lips curl into a frown. "Yes, I've two. A Blastoise and a Bronzong. I used to have more. But they passed on from age before I." She shakes her solemnness off. "Aava Desert, eh?" She wasn't expecting him to openly admit to being from another world. A very...

    The Festival of Masks

    The woman smirks. Her instincts were right, this was going to be a good festival indeed. "Never seen a motorized vehicle before, eh? Well, that's all right. We're all always learning new things. My transport uses liquid fuel to power an engine that turns the wheels. Simplified version, of...

    The Festival of Masks

    Somewhat belatedly to the others' arrival, the roar of a motorcycle's engine heralds the arrival of a familiar visitor to the land of Kitakami. She had visited so often over the decades that there was a parking stall waiting just for her. As the engine fades to a soft murmur and silence, she...

    The Festival of Masks [Signups - CLOSED]

    Well I thought about Nori Carino just based on the design joke that I compared him to a genderswapped Maya Kamizono appearance-wise. Or Prema Kannagi. Though problem with both is that they have walking Pokemon who'd be with them frequently. And at least two of the others wouldn't fit "human or...

    NaNoWriMo 2023

    Well I'll try to make writing strides but 50000 words is kind of ridiculous. Hopefully I'll get enough done on Abyssal Despair to start actually posting it at least.

    How would people react to a Real Life Competitive battler?

    Knowing the average state of the competitive battler, probably get mad for playing God or something after they just make optimal Pokemon into existence
