"Ah, standing in the back..." Nate said, a wistful smile on his face. "That tracks." "Marshtomp would like to stay in the back, too," Rocky told Ben. "He likes bossing people around more than fighting." Nate ignored him. So Ben had been off roaming the world with his friends, doing good deeds...

"I guess," Nate said. "The only legends I've ever met in my world have been complete dicks, so I think I'd take my chance with Rocket, personally." He smirked bitterly before spearing another piece of fish. "Because of one of them that, yeah, some other worldjumping adventure. Or timejumping, I...

Nate's dinner showed up before everybody else's. Smelled damn delicious, too. He hesitated, uncertain. Was he supposed to wait for everybody else to get their stuff, or...? Eh, fuck it. Starr was probably going to scarf her curry down in like two seconds when it came, so he needed to eat fast...

"Aww." Rocky sat back, his eyes dimming. "It's really good, though..." "I mean, humans don't look that weird," Nate said. "They're practically like infernape, right? Just usually taller and, like, shorter arms. No fire. The face is kinda different. That's about it." Rocky giggled. "Ben called...

"I will," Rocky said. He sighed loudly. "But I won't have anybody to see it with." God, not this shit again. The insane curry bowl couldn't show up fast enough; at least that would distract him. "So it's gonna be back to traveling around Johto for you soon, huh?" Nate said. "But I guess from...

Nate ordered a beer to go with his food, and Rocky took a soda as usual. Nate tried to ignore the pokémon that were still taking a blatant interest in their table but couldn't help hunching over in his seat a bit. He wished they could have gotten takeout. "Damn, really?" he asked Starr. "I...

"So? It doesn't say anything about a stomach on the sign." Rocky's eyes gleamed. "I'm gonna eat the whole thing! I bet I could eat two." "All right," Nate said with a laugh. "Think I'm gonna go for something normal-sized. Don't really want to feel like I could go for a swim in my dinner if I...

Nate's eyes started watering the moment Starr opened the door. Holy hell. People liked their spice around here. Starr said the team had come here before? He must have missed that one. Nate was sure he'd remember a place that made his eyes sting just from standing in the lobby. And he was doubly...

Hello! For your Smeargle Swap, I chose to draw Espurr's little adventure in Foreboding Forest. I loved how creepy and unnatural you made the foggy dungeon feel, and the ominous sense of how it might tie in with what Espurr had had to deal with when she was running from the beheeyem. It was...

"That sounds nice!" Rocky said, his eyes gleaming. Ben's description made him think of misty mountains and calm oceans, deep forests and the dark of unknown dungeons. "And going to look for a lost continent... It's like something out of a storybook!" "You think so, huh?" Nate asked. "Didn't...

"Oh," Rocky said. "That sounds lonely." Nate had to agree, privately. Seems like everything they said to the arcanine just made the guy more depressed, damn. "At least you have your friends here, though," Rocky went on. "And... maybe there's something that's different in this Cibus that you'd...

Ah. Blacklight shit. Not really surprising. Well, the gardevoir was a weird one, that was for sure. That sure wasn't the answer Rocky'd been looking for to his question about familiars, though. Ben was right, it *would* be better to make a clean break. Exactly the opposite of what Rocky wanted...

Rocky flopped down in the sand on the far side of Ben with his arms beneath his head, looking out over the waves. He laughed heartily at Ben's story. "That does sound funny! I bet he had a real silly look on his face when he realized what he'd done." Nate was thoughtful. As emotional as paint...

Rocky smirked. "Marshtomp doesn't like it when people use his name." "Oh, for fuck's--it's Nate." "His real name." "Anyway," Nate said. There weren't many things that sounded less pleasant right now than trying to hang on while an arcanine went top speed across the beach. "You two can go for...

Enjoying some fucking peace, for once, was what Nate dearly wanted to say, but no, it wasn't the arcanine's fault. Instead he wafted as much displeasure through the psychic link at Rocky as he could manage. As usual, the familiar ignored him. "Oh, Marshtomp likes to stare at the ocean and be...

"Oh, I know you're not really from Cibus," Rocky said, beaming. "Diyem must have brought you from somewhere, just like everybody else. Ooh! But you must have done so many cool things over there. What was your favorite part? Can you show off one of your special moves? I'm Rocky, by the way. And...

The beach was actually kind of nice these days. A bit more sun, which brightened up even the bare rocks along the coast. And it was warm enough now that the cold wind coming off the water felt more refreshing than cutting. Even the water itself didn't feel quite so freezing. Nate ventured in...

Rocky jumped up and down, pumping his fists in the air while he whooped louder than anybody. On the ground near his feet, Nate grunted and slowly raised his face out of the dirt, squinting through swollen eyes. "We won! We won we won we won!" Rocky bounced in an ecstatic circle. "Mhhgfckr...
