...Mm. There was a strange sensation just then, and it suddenly felt as if Diyem was standing beside her like a phantom. A trick of the eye, perhaps if she squinted, and maybe there was an outline of a Charizard there, arms behind his back, eyes skyward. Or perhaps she was just seeing things...

"Training," Owen said, flicking his tail to the left when his concentration broke. "Or, trying to tap into my powers or something, like what Maple said. I think I'm kind of a late bloomer or something here, because a lot of you are already developing yours, but..." Owen sighed, going out of...

Diyem didn't answer immediately, but eventually that same telepathic presence made itself known. Something about it seemed a little gentler this time, for some reason, like he was not immediately thrusting his voice into her mind. Hello.

1. Yes, but it requires absolute specifications in official actions and I won't be scheming that out for you if it's not stated directly. 2. For flavor in rp, yes. For mechanics in the serious battles, I don't think I'll be implementing such things unless there ever comes a need. 3. Yes...

"Hrmm, yes. That is a very good point." Truffle brought a wing just below his beak. "Detecting these Shades will indeed be our top priority going forward. Searching aimlessly and hoping for luck to be on our side is not very efficient, now is it?" Truffle nodded, but then stepped into...

Do not let your guard down! Diyem said as the haze seemed to spread through the town square, and suddenly the once peaceful town felt more like a battle arena. Cynthian is not himself! You must strike him down! It seemed that several Pokemon were looking at the showdown, apparently blind to the...

Hey all, I actually have a somewhat more serious announcement to make, so please read through this carefully. It has come to my attention as of late that some scenes have been coordinated privately, but in such a way that not everyone is satisfied with the outcome. And while that is a natural...

1. Stamina multipliers are based on the number of actions taken. 2. This should be fine. The idea of storing one action for the next turn can have a lot of utility, so we typically have to only apply a very small buff in addition to it. A 10% heal is acceptable. However, it cannot stack--the +1...

"What...? But that jar is... empty." Typhlosion rolled and stood, but he looked dizzy. "I'm... I need to rest. I'm sorry... If you have something for the neighborhood association, can it wait until tomorrow?" "Hmm, we won't be needing to any longer, "Truffle said, "but I have one question. Di...

<><><> The days came and went without much incident. Unlike what had happened in the residential district and the marketplace, it seemed that in general things were very quiet in the square. That was, of course, until one day Diyem had suddenly entered the minds of the Pokemon that happened to...

It had only lasted for an instant. One more later, and the Shade split its head open as eight tendrils jutted into Cynthian's shoulders. Two things raced through his mind at that moment--pain, head-splitting pain, and horrible, overwhelming, dark thoughts as the rest of the Shade's body burrowed...

"What does that mean?" Maple repeated, frowning. "...I actually didn't fully expect you to manifest these powers to begin with. Are your bodies truly that unstable that mere exposure to..." She trailed off, and while her tone was flat and stoic as usual, her brow did furrow just enough that she...

"How do you mean?" Maple asked, standing right behind him. In her hand was a book that she had been in the middle of reading, and she had probably been elsewhere in the guild before Dave had called for her. "You manifested your powers despite not touching it?"

It had been a few days of recovery for Owen, and even though he had felt just fine by the next day, Chimecho had insisted he stay for one extra day to make sure he was properly recovered. But now, after spending time with Brisa and lamenting their lack of being able to battle during that down...

Here's a long-overdue review of chapter 1! I want to say one thing about this first and foremost--even though it wasa bit of a slow start, this chapter reminded me of how effective exposition writing can be to get a lot of interpersonal and character details covered at once. Yes, it slows...

"Of course, of course!" Cheerful as always, but it contrasted greatly with Cynthian's mood, and the negative aura was certainly something that Spinda noticed. Still, what better cure for gloom than a little cheer? But something else had different ideas in mind, and it skittered and slithered...

Alright, after some deliberation... 6. Pain Split will create a status between the user and the target. For that turn, any damage the user performs against the target will also 1:1 mirror the damage to the target, and vice versa. 7. Fling will give a 50% boost to the thrown Iron Thorn-like...

"...Krriih?" It was technically one chirp. "I guess it's named Squiggly now," Owen said. The fatigue was starting to settle in, but he didn't let it show. "Let's head back for now... Maybe we can put him in your secret room or something, Dave." His flame was a little dim from tiredness, but...

The Shade paused, but eventually replied with two chirps. Owen perked up, hiding his beaming when Dave agreed, though he also recognized that reluctance. Dave didn't seem like the sort who would be as interested in taking on an obligation like this, but... "Well, if Dave ever wants to get out...

And once again, the little thing stared at Dave, answering nothing, though it didn't seem very distressed. Then again, without a face, and without any sort of natural body language to go off of, it could also be trying to deliberate whether Dave's head or foot would taste better first. Owen...
