Well, that was good. If Arceus had predicted something like this would happen, then it at least probably wasn't dangerous or nothing. Jesus, though. At least Nate hadn't gotten stuck as anything with a cocoon stage. That one rectangular bug-type wasn't having a great time of it, but at least...

Rocky drew in a huge breath, and Nate just knew he was about to unleash an Uproar or something, or maybe just a very loud scream. Instead the familiar yelped and stumbled sideways as a jet of water hit him in the chest. "Knock it off," Nate said as Rocky rounded on him, dripping and with shadowy...

Nate shielded his face from the sudden light, heart pounding. Whatever the fuck was happening, it couldn't be good. Nate braced himself for a fight, gathering energy, but when he was able to see properly again all there was was some strange pokémon--Silver?--just kind of... sitting there. And it...

"Hey!" Nate said. "Hey, what's--?" But it didn't look like Silver could hear him. The stirring of psychic power set off every alarm in Nate's head. Had Giovanni put some kind of psychic link to the guy way back when? Was he taking over somehow. Was he about to fucking show up down here? He...

"Well, as far as what might be locked up in there... I figure it's got to be something important, or Giovanni wouldn't have bothered. He didn't wipe none of the pokémon's memory that we got back, as far as I know." Nate frowned and shifted uneasily. "If you've been feeling tired, though, have...

Welcome to Xenforo 2.2! Welcome to the newest version of Xenforo! This update's been a long time coming, but I hope you'll find the new features in this version to be worth the wait. You can read more about those below, but before we get there, I'd like to give a big shout-out to the staff team...

"Sure, he ain't the hands-on type. But he don't really strike me as the kind of guy to keep running away instead of dealing with someone who was a real threat to his operation. It just don't feel right that he keeps running away all the time," Nate said. "One of the moles could have let Karat...

"Yeah, I'd say he's up to something on his own. Which makes me wonder why he didn't just fuck off the second he got out of prison. Unless Giovanni was already around and he ran off to fight right away? I ain't clear on the order shit happened in, here." Nate nodded to the fox familiar thing...

So it was Karat for sure, if the porygon-Z had seen him actually break out. "So he wasn't actually going for the lab, huh? You just went to say hi and he blew your head off your shoulders?" Nate cast a sidelong look at Rocky, who was watching intently to see if Silver's head would flare up...

Ah. So it was like that, was it? Nate should probably try to the pokémon, too, if he got the chance. "You been down here a while, then?" Nate asked. "Missed all the excitement?" "Giovanni was here," Rocky said softly. "Yeah. He's been ganking pokémon and turning them all shadowy for a while...

"Yeah, well," Nate said, glancing uneasily around at the strange pokémon hanging around the lab. Just what they needed, an audience, "knowing Giovanni, that's the first sort of thing he'd want to take from you. So it ain't no surprise it's gone. Still sucks, though." He looked away and cleared...

Well, "Reshiram" sounded like someone to talk to, but Nate was distracted by the appearance of a clot of purple clouds. It was so unexpected that Silver would be here that it took Nate a moment to recognize him, but the typhlosion and crobat pretty much confirmed who it had to be. "Oh, hey,"...

Nate still wasn't feeling the best, but Rocky kept telling him he needed to rest and not do anything else dumb, so now here he was, dragging his ass up the big fucking hill at the edge of town to the lab where he'd brought the Rocket shit from the Isle of Light earlier. He'd been meaning to see...

(( Welp, I'm sure that's not gonna be relevant. :P )) That was kind of funny. It meant Joule hadn't even mentioned it to Maple in a long, long time, and why wouldn't he do that? Since they could go everywhere, they could go back and visit whenever they wanted. Maybe wherever he came from was...

"He is! I think everybody knows they're going back. Or... can go back?" Would everyone have to leave their familiar friends behind? Maybe there was some way they could remain in Cibus if they liked. "Well, Mudkip knows he's going home for sure. He wouldn't have agreed to come otherwise. Which is...

"Yes!" Rocky punched the air, flames flaring and hissing. "I'm gonna be a member of the God Squad! We're gonna go on all the best adventures. And--oh. I wonder what my Radiance power will be? You already have someone who's super fast, hmm. And super scary. Maybe I could just be good at...

That works great. Thank you!

Thanks for reviving this, qva! Perhaps it'd be a good idea to have story nominations for the next week, run a poll on which we'd like to begin with after that, and then look to start reading ~first week in February? I would like to try to feature stories posted here more than ones offsite...

"A baby Mew?" Rocky clasped his hands together. "That sounds so cute! But it's a good thing they had you around to help out. Babies aren't very good at being heroes." This was the toughest fight they'd seen yet? Rocky's flames glowed brighter. How exciting! "Well, I guess if this is your...

Too many? Rocky had only ever gotten to visit one planet (or two, or three, depending on if you counted the ones he only had someone else's memories of). What would it be like to have more than a couple decades' worth of stories to tell? To have so many stories that you couldn't even choose one...
