Awesome! I look forward to reading your entries. Meanwhile, the poll is now closed, and it looks like this year's theme will be human/pokémon partnership! I'd also like to give a shout out to our judging panel this year: Umbramatic, kyeugh, canisaries, and HelloYellow17! Thanks to all of you...

"Huh." Nate stared up at the pokémon Bahamut had projected. Yeah, that sure was some kind of bat thing. Sounded like it was some kind of day or night evolution, like umbreon and espeon, maybe? Which one would Silver rather be, if he got to choose? "Oh, well. I guess if it's something that has to...

Oh. Well, shit. Nate had been hoping he could avoid the whole "dead son" thing if he kept things general. "Oh, uh, something like you right now, huh?" Nate forced himself to keep eye contact with the necrozma, just pretend the whole personal tragedy hadn't even come into things. "Supposedly...

Sure, great. Way to make things fucking weird. Nate took a moment to try and get his heart rate under control. Meanwhile Rocky dusted himself off and made his way over to them, looking perfectly chipper about the whole thing. Nate took a deep breath. "Yeah, uh. You know that guy, Silver? The...

Nate was complaining about the snow when something huge thudded to the ground just behind him, knocking him forward on his face and Rocky over into the snow. Nate scrambled to his feet, whirling to face the way he'd come with an attack already building in his chest. Coming face-to-face with...

You never could be sure where Bahamut was going to turn up. Nate had tried hanging around at the Guild, waiting, until he'd gotten fed up and gone off to try somewhere else. Rocky had said maybe they ought to wait more than twenty minutes, but whatever, he liked hanging out at the Guild for...

"You can count on us!" Rocky said. "We'll do the best investigation ever! There's no way Giovanni's gonna get away from us!" "Yeah," Nate said, with another hint of a smile. "I guess we'll catch you later, then. Maybe someplace with food next time, huh? I'm sure you know a few good places."...

"Yeah. No proof. And Silver conveniently just decided to take a thousand-year nap or whatever the fuck." Nate sighed. "But be on the lookout for strange pikachu, I guess. That's the little bastard you really gotta watch out for." Though now that he was thinking of it... Goddammit, he needed to...

"Well, Silver can't remember much, but he sure as fuck remembers Red. Says he gets a real bad vibe whenever he sees a charizard or pikachu, and real bad vibes from the idea of Red himself. No guarantee he got dragged here along with Silver, but it seems pretty likely to me. And hard to imagine...

"That's great!" Rocky said. "Then Diyem's got to be on the Air Continent! That's a whole lot less to search than the entire world." He grinned at Nate, tail thrashing behind him with excitement. "Don't get your hopes up," Nate said, although he couldn't suppress a faint smile. "We know he was...

"Diyem mentioned burning," Nate said. "Wherever he was, it was burning him. So, I mean, he's like a living ball of darkness and hatred or whatever the fuck, hugs and pictures of cute baby meowth probably burn him, too, but I figure Giovanni ain't building no torture dungeon of hugs and sappy...

Nate inclined his head slightly at the mention of an "old human lab." That would almost be too obvious... but it was certainly interesting. Might be worth checking out later. Right now, though, they were looking for something else. "Any of these friend areas hot? Like, I mean 'fire' hot. Lava...

"Yeah, I was wondering about that, too," Nate said when Buffet mentioned that the group supposedly hadn't left the Air Continent but the bone had shown up in the Isle of Light nonetheless. "So that's how you know they ain't left the place? Kinda a Life sorta feeling, even if you can't tell...

"World like mine, huh?" Nate smiled mirthlessly. "Not too much, I hope. Wonder if she was ever a trainer, then. Not important though. Don't suppose you know what she was up to before she disappeared, do you? No talk of wanting to visit anybody, or taking a job somewhere out of town?" The map...

Yeah, of course. If it woulda been that simple, Buffet would already have told everybody where the marowak was. Presumably. "That's too bad. You happen to know anything about the world Bone came from?" What Bean said, though. Now that was fucking interesting. "Their home continent, huh? Which...

Copies. Well. You just never knew what weird shit was up with pokémon. "Ah. Yeah. I was kinda wondering how that all was going," Nate said. "Thought this might help." He gestured at the bone lying on the table. "We found this in Giovanni's place, right? Supposed to belong to that marowak who...

"Nah, it was no problem," Nate said, ignoring the look he got from Rocky, who'd had to listen to him complaining the entire way. "Thanks for showing up, anyway." It was an undignified scramble, as always, to make it up onto a table where he could be a little closer to eye-to-eye with the others...

"Who the fuck even asks to meet in a library, anyway?" Nate grumbled. He appeared to be walking as far from the shelves as possible, like the books might burn him if he got too close. "I don't know, I think it's nice. It's such a big library," Rocky said. The shade was carrying a large femur in...

This is fixed. Thanks for reporting it!

As the poochyena set off again, Nate switched from yelling at Rocky to hollering after the poochyena's little group. "This ain't over yet, fucker! You better stay away from those fucking kids, you hear me? Next time I won't pull no fucking punches! And next time this dickface won't be around to...
