  • Our "Weird and Wonderful" one-shot contest is now underway! Pokémon are strange and magical creatures, and for our writing contest this year, we want to see you higlight some of their oddest abilities and features! From stories about luxray thieves using X-ray vision to scope out targets to those about trainers bewitching opponents with their stantlers' mystic antlers, any sort of fic featuring a pokémon's unusual lore is welcome! Entries are due at 11:59 PM July 13th UTC.

    Truth or Dare Crossroads

    As the strange chimera creature's fishlike tail wagged eagerly, Gabriel grinned. "Aw, big guy, you seem sweet. What's your name?" He lifted a hand as if to pet him, but hesitated - was that weird for a sapient, talking Pokémon? "Ideals, huh? What sorts of ideals are those?" A knot of discomfort...

    Truth or Dare Crossroads

    Gabriel raised his eyebrow, but couldn't help smiling. The creature actually was in some strange way like a giant dog. "Nice. Good boy." Gabriel looked around at the Treecko. "I... Thanks. I mean, I talk to my friend about it sometimes. He sort of gets it and sort of... I don't know." He moved...

    Truth or Dare Crossroads

    Another one that stuck, in that indescribable way. The plain had turned into a desert as if nothing were more natural, but instead of the sweltering heat that should have accompanied it, the air was still and neutral and muted. Like you'd expect from a dream, he supposed. A sand castle. He...

    Truth or Dare Crossroads

    Gabriel's gaze snapped to the Kirlia. She was... talking to him. In... English? Or was it? He wasn't quite sure how he understood her. "Yeah, uh... This game, huh? Everyone's just playing?" The whispers told him that was how to get out of here. He wondered if he could answer a different...

    Truth or Dare Crossroads

    Gabriel squinted. What... What was this? All around him was a dark plain, the sky above sprinkled with stars. A strange pillar of mist, a bunch of Pokémon standing around, some of them drinking tea as if nothing were more natural. A singular human among them, arguing with a Ducklett -- a...

    Pokémon Kills-Other-Humans

    Thrilled to see this story conclude! I didn't notice a dip in writing quality or any typos; I know the feeling of having spent tortured ages on something and feeling like it must be unbearably clumsy, but I don't think it is. I enjoyed how you opened with the Second Event written out from...

    Pokémon Morphic Shorts

    Awww, thank you for taking the time to read! Thrilled you enjoyed them. People don't say it on TV! It's cool and edgy :o This is set way before she had anything like the ability to actually do that, so right now it's just fantasizing, and if imagining fighting her bullies off with her...

    Pokémon Morphic Shorts
    Threadmarks: Dave and Jean Discuss Swearing

    Time for a new Morphic short! With that, I figured I'd repurpose this thread to contain Morphic shorts generally, rather than create a new thread for each one; it seems to make more sense to me. Content notes: This short contains some strong language and loosely discusses bullying and...

    [SIGNUPS] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    Name: Jean Ambrose Species: Vulpix Pokémorph Personality: Doggedly bubbly and energetic even in the face of adversity, but not quite as airheaded as she appears. Backstory/additional notes: Created by her father David Ambrose and his team of scientists as a proof of concept along with seven...

    Pokémon PMD: Rangers of Sky

    Love to see another update so soon! Camellia is fun, I like her. Love seeing Breen being a little shit and Eliza and Poppy backing him up. Excited to see more of the guild! Love the art in these pages, too, just very dynamic and expressive. Camellia being so big tickles me, and I enjoy the way...

    Grand Re-Branding Celebration

    Consider: if PMD Jade is a lonk Meowth, then the logical conclusion is Gigantamax Jade

    Pokémon tarnishing

    Aw, man. Reliably tearing the heart out with these chapters. This whole description of the bite was so visceral I felt it. Deeply uncomfortable and super effective, all these nasty little details about the muscles sliding and snagging and her heartbeat in her eyeballs. Really good job on...

    Happy birthday! I wanted to post this yesterday but I ended up falling asleep before managing to finish it, so here it is. Looking forward to chapter 53! [/spoiler]

    Pokémon A Comprehensive Guide to Items in the World of Pokemon

    Hey, Bench! I decided to check this out to see what your item deep-dive prizes would look like, and I quite enjoyed it. Acacia's narrative voice is fun and gives it flavor, and there's a lot of inventiveness here - not just on what the items do and how they work but how they're made, how to take...

    Blitz 2022: Hype & Fic Recs Thread

    I'd like to throw in a rec for Kills-Other-Humans by canisaries - which you may have heard her talk about on Discord as the Andrefic. I knew going in that it was about her second serial killer character, who murders scumbags he thinks deserve it. Like canis's other work, though, there's a rich...

    Pokémon The Legendarian Chronicles

    Chapter 41 My brain really wants the comma there after "Alright". Also really wants a semicolon for that first comma. First person can definitely play a bit fast and loose with comma splices but in this case I feel like it'd just add clarity? :sadwott: Love her being reminded of that here...
