  • 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.

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Maple had the same expression that Owen had recognized from before, and he had a feeling that no matter what Bahamut wanted to say, or what he got across, the damage had already been done from the group that Maple had already summoned to interrogate. It simply wasn't fair. But hopefully at least...

    It didn't take long for Owen to appear next, looking down with a hint of shame. "Sorry," he mumbled. "I didn't expect that Hidden Land tour to become an interrogation. I got a read for how powerful she really is, and... froze up. She could've beaten us all several times over with one strike...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    "Eh..." Meringue seemed a little hesitant there, but he nodded anyway. "Yeah, he's a great guy. Egh--but I'm gonna focus on training again. I've rested long enough. Be seeing you?"

    Meringue nodded. "Have you met him yet? I bet once you guys go to Destiny Village, you'll get to meet him."

    Sharpedo Bluff

    "That's not the impression I had," Meringue said. "Maple showed up and Arceus explained their situation. There isn't a whole lot to question after that, I don't think... They just accepted the help. They couldn't have been in the public eye for more than a month or so, right around when this new...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    "Well..." Meringue hummed. "I didn't really know that Maple worked under Arceus for a while. I mean, sure, I'm new to everything, but one day Maple showed up with the rest of her group and... asserted themselves." He shrugged. "Arceus said that she usually worked on smaller things covertly, but...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Meringue tilted his head again. "Oh, one of those weird powers from that Maple person..." He didn't seem all that impressed. If anything, he seemed perplexed. "I guess that'll work as a small shield... Didn't think you guys would be able to pick up those powers. Apparently it isn't very easy to...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Meringue frowned, looking Cabot over. "No offense," he said, "but I can sense from you that energy attacks are going to hurt you no matter what type they are. You might want to be careful about that. Still, with all of you guys together, maybe that'll be enough..." He sighed. "Well. Guess we'll...

    "Two months! You caught him early," Meringue said, stifling a laugh. "Then again, I suppose the way you speak of him, he's literally that old. How odd that you can be friends with him already... Perhaps your world is one of those mystical ones where creatures are born with knowledge, one way or...

    "Guess you do," Meringue said with an amused smile. He was a little off-put by how carefree this Cranidos was compared to the others on the team, but at least he had a positive attitude. "You know," Meringue said, "compared to the others, you seemed to be... pretty interested in me back there...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    "I'm not strong enough to train with him where it wouldn't be a waste of time," Meringue said, sighing. "One day. One day." Still, he seemed at least slightly more upbeat than before. "You guys really seem confident that you'll be able to help. At least, you do. Do you guys really have that kind...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    "Heh... I'm not afraid of that part so much," he said. "Just how much is suddenly in front of me." He formed a hailstorm in front of the bluff next, chunks of ice pelting the water far below, and tossed an icy sphere into the sky. This explosion snapped and split the air like shattering glass...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    "Lugia..." Meringue said the name like he was referring to an old, favorite book, fond memories both ancient and recent. "She's stern. Serious. But she's also, obviously, kindhearted and she wouldn't have been Lugia if she wasn't kindhearted." He rolled his head to the side, then the other side...

    "Power and being able to harness it is all I need," Meringue said, glancing at Cabot with a hint of amusement and dejection. "All of those... heroic qualities you mentioned, the self-sacrifice, the dedication, the iron will, those aren't things that they teach you when you become a Legend. Those...

    "My master has told me that I've fallen behind a little," Meringue said simply. "So, I know I'm falling behind. It was the last thing she told me during evaluations a few weeks ago. And now this is happening..." He trailed off, head drooping.

    Sharpedo Bluff

    "Tch..." Meringue didn't reply immediately, and instead conjured another Weather Ball between his wings. This one was a clear white, which he shot forward and upward, where it burst and became a small cloud. "I've fallen behind in general," he said simply. "This week has only been exposing...

    "Only five years for anything intensive," Meringue said. "Sort of astronomical how young that is, when you think about it from a Legendary perspective."

    Sharpedo Bluff

    "Not really," Meringue said flatly. "This is nothing like what my master is capable of. I'm falling behind on my training." He flapped his wings a few times, then flattened them to his side. "With all these holdups, I don't know if I'll ever earn the position."

    Sharpedo Bluff

    CRACK! Suddenly, the sky ahead of Cabot turned dark and stormy, thunder and lightning and torrential rains nearly coating the ground--but it just barely missed the bluff proper. It seemed to be localized directly ahead of Cabot, blotting out the sun. A blue sphere of water flew skyward and...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Lugia tensed, evading capture from Bahamut. "At least take me to dinner first," he mumbled. Then, nodding at Cabot, he said, "Yeah, good to meet you guys, too. I--where can I go to rest? I'll try to tell you guys everything that I know, even if it's not all that much." "That would probably be...
