"Like what? Cranky? Since I was fucking born." Nate was staring at the space where Wishkeeper had been. "Did that guy really just accuse me of being optimistic?"

"Hey!" Nate snapped, crossing his arms. "What the hell is this? Did you come over here just to bust my balls about some battle we won? We're all going home in a week anyhow, who even gives a fuck?"

"I mean, sure, I'm fine," Nate said. "We beat the Blacklight thing and all, so that's great. Not much else go--" He jumped when Wishkeeper reared up from behind Owen, focused unnervingly on Nate. "No." Oh, god, Rocky's face was probably giving it away, wasn't it? He couldn't turn to look, but...

It should be illegal to be conscious this early. Nate's head felt full of sand, his eyes gritty, his limbs each a hundred pounds. Any merciful god would have let him sleep at least another half hour. Rocky was not merciful, and he was also extremely insistent that they make it to the beach in...

Nate ducked his head, shielding himself with his hands as Owen soared up and over, showering him with water. Rocky laughed with delight. "Hi, Owen!" He waved, then caught sight of the look on Nate's face. "Oh." "Hey, Owen," Nate said uneasily. He exchanged a worried glance with Rocky. "Yeah...

By now, with Summer really in the air, walking along the beach was actually pleasant. Even if the wind and water were still cold. There were, in fact, even a few other pokémon out strolling along the water. Nate scowled at them and moved as far away as possible. He ventured down the beach until...

I went on vacation for like two days and ended up about 10k behind. :P This always happens, though! Literally every year. So I'm not particularly worried. I'm actually less behind than normal, and the end of my November is looking to be unusually quiet. Expecting to catch back up in the next...

Fortunately Nate knew his teammates could easily pick up the slack on why life was worth living and all that shit. He watched the eternatus'--or whatever's--tree glow a little brighter. Yeah. Hope and all that jazz. "They got the right idea," he said. "Life's hard, and sometimes it sucks, but if...

Oh, fucking--Rocky really should have been the one to come along for this. "There's lots of reasons to stick around," he said wearily. "If you're worried about what you might have done before, well, going away ain't gonna fix it. You gotta be something if you want to be able to make a...

"Well, this is a new world and all," Nate said. "I think you can be whatever you want. Like the dragon-guy said, it's up to you. You want to be somebody who hurts people this time around?"

"Go away," "Don't hurt me anymore..." Where had Nate heard that recently? His eye twitched. Should have sent Rocky in instead. He tried to put those thoughts out of his mind for the moment. Here was an actual problem to be solved. "We don't want to hurt you," he said. "But we know you ain't...

The battle's rage reached an ever-higher pitch, the spirits of Cibus striking back against the Blacklight thing's many tendrils. With their help, Team Spectrum's attacks grew ever more spectacular, huge beams of energy, strikes powerful enough to crack bedrock, and finally one huge explosion...

Happy birthday! Hope you have a great day... and enjoy your Blacklight boss battle. :P

As the haze cleared and Nate could finally get a clear sight of the Blacklight thing. And, honestly? He'd been picturing something even more disgusting than that. Sure, the sucker mouth thing was disgusting, and the way its whole skin rippled and bulged with, like, the screaming faces of the...

The Blacklight fight had been more or less what Nate expected. Lots of energy bullshit, weird atmosphere, some asshole ranting about how everything was darkness and misery forever, blah blah. Throw in some illusions like there were in the nightmare forest, sure, that was a little spicier, but it...

Nate visits Eien and Diyem (and Toast). He's curious what they're going to be up to after the Blacklight's wrapped up here. Are they supposed to go off and find more worlds to save? What about their ~50 children? Nate's impression was that the Overseers disapproved of their relationship; is that...

Nate tensed when the lucario did... whatever it was she was doing. It didn't hurt, though. It didn't feel like much of anything at all. Maybe he felt a little less... buzzy? Nate sniffed and looked down at his hands. "I'll bet. We sure coulda used somebody who could suck up some of the...

"What? Are you saying you think I'm afraid of getting punched?" Nate asked, scowling. "Fuck that. I ain't big on battling, but I fucking do it." "It would be pretty funny if Marshtomp's Radiance did something that was the opposite of him," Rocky said, giving his host an appraising look. "I...

Rocky flicked an aura sphere out to intercept the attack; they burst in a flash of clashing energies, letting out a faint "pop." Rocky grinned. That honestly hadn't been so much weaker than the attacks Marshtomp had been sending at him anyway, and he loved getting to train with new people...
