Rocky trundled through the tree's inner corridors, powering up over the humps of twisting roots and then letting gravity pull him into a long roll down their far sides. It might almost have been fun, but... This was a sad place. The walls were scarred and blackened, and the whole place shook...

Logging a supercharged AoE damage boost and a supercharged AoE hex boost. 200 points from Wildboots: 200 points from kintsugi: 400 points from Negrek:

Nate's stomach lurched when Maple charged them, snarling nonsense and spattered with corruption. Fuck. Right. Just another goddamn stupid fight. Get ready! he thought at Rocky, who was staring at Maple, transfixed. I--I--yes! The familiar looked nervously back at Nate. The marshtomp could feel...

It was great to be assigned for this round of Catnip--I've heard a ton about it, so it's great to have an excuse to check it out. I'm going to talk about some general thoughts first, and then some thoughts on each chapter, mostly more picky detail stuff, under the spoilers. There's a ton going...

Still (very slowly) working through anniversary bingo fills. You had a really fun theme to work with, and I enjoy the different places you took the prompts! Zangoose and seviper is a classic rivalry, and this story makes a good opener to the series. I always enjoy characters furiously insisting...

Back for the next set of chapters! And this is an exciting group for me, since we're definitely running into some that I haven't read before. Everything is new to me from here on out. In fact, I'm pretty sure that Chapter 9 is the last chapter that I'd read before. The deoxys and their...

Happy birthday! Hope it's been a great one.

Nate nodded to Xernatus. "Yeah, if you could, that would be great. Dunno that we'd find nothing, but... dunno whether we'll get another chance to look, neither." He looked up at the dark opening in the tree, its glow faded and its trunk cracked and twisted. "Must be hard, seeing the place like...

It was a small group convening in the tree of life. A lot of people had decided they wanted to go to nightmare hell, for whatever fucking reason. Rocky among them. "Vix is supposed to be there, isn't she? I still need to talk to her," the familiar said, picking at the strap of his item bag...

Yeah, me and Rocky are with you. We heading out now?

An actual mundane reason for something to be going on for once? It was almost suspicious. "Ah, yeah, it's kind of a fucked-up situation. But from what Rocky says, Flesh is a pretty friendly guy. Don't think he'd mind you hanging around." And it was true, Nate couldn't see any way that Soda...

Nate welcomes Silver to his home, somewhat confused. Hey, what's up? I guess you're living here now? That's cool. He wonders if Silver remembers that time Nate tried to catch him in the laboratory. (Ha ha, fun times, right?) Does Silver know why the pokéball didn't affect him? The Blacklight...

"Yeah." Preparation time. A bunch of people were apparently all eager to head off to nightmare hell again, for whatever fucking reason. At least Nate didn't have to worry about getting ready for that. Now that he was thinking of it, though, he did have one thing he needed to get to before they...

Sharing shitty feelings, but not happy ones? It made sense, but Jesus. It was like at every turn, some reminder of how much Diyem's life sucked. Great. Thanks, Diyem. "And, uh, thanks, Owen." For... sharing your trauma with like twenty other people? Just another day of Cibus bullshit, Nate...

Jesus Christ, Owen was huge. Nate instinctively pressed himself back against the table, then realized what he was doing and shook the effect off with a scowl. He tried to focus on what the charizard had said instead. So Owen's suggestions were the guy who was super depressed right now, and the...

Oh, fuck's sake. Why'd the guy go and pick a name that was so close to the name of the guy he fucking murdered? Nate grunted and tugged at one of his gills. "Yeah, I could see you wanting to go either place. Might not be best for you to head to the tree this time around. But probably we should...

"So it's only a feeling that tells you where they are, huh?" That fucking sucked. "I guess there's somebody like Breaker, or maybe one of the xatu. But. Ain't a lot of time for that, I guess. Were you thinking you'd head to the tree next fight, then? Look for Xernatus while you're in there?"

"Well, yeah," Nate said uneasily. "So you're thinking... it's you who'd have to find these things? I get it if you're the only one who can. But if there's some way for other people to recognize that kind of thing, you know. You don't gotta take that on by yourself."

"A... seal," Nate said. "Like the same thing that was in your head? You think there's one of those around the Tree somewhere?" He scowled and reached for his beer again, but of course it was fucking empty. "How the fuck would we even recognize something like that?"
