  • 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.

    "Ng--excuse me, I'm a lot older than a chick," Lugia said immediately. "Lugia grow slowly. All Legends do. You... what are you? Arceus doesn't usually make new Legends but you have that vibe."

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Lugia took some gentle breaths, then straightened. "I'm... feeling better now. Thanks, uh... Ba... hamut. Sure." Weird name, but whatever. "I had to get away from the Sea of Wonders," he said. "My master and I were attacked by someone, but--but we couldn't really tell who. Or, well, she might...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    The Morning Sun's light was gentle and warm, and it seemed that while it was exhausting, it was also having some effect on Lugia. When it faded, Lugia's eyes opened, slowly, and drifted around. "...What... happened? I flew... I landed... then it all went dark..." Maple appeared from a portal...

    Threadmarks: Day 18 ~ The New Lugia

    <><><> Day 18 I need... to get... there... Heavy wings, strained and slow, left small shockwaves through the air with every beat. Almost... that cliff is the closest... Strained pants came after, though every breath twisted the air into cutting gales. Soon, the top of the Bluff had little...

    Thanks. Thanks? Thanks? Thanks? Thanks... Yes. Of course. If there is ever a need for something, you may summon my presence. I will be going, now. If you have need for someone, remember the functionality of your badges. Goodbye. He seemed a little hasty about leaving, but it didn't seem to...

    He finally continued. Self defense is entirely different. If you feared for your life, if you feared for your safety, and someone was attacking you, there is little else you need to justify. But it is still damaging. Killing another life, depending on who you are, can fragment you. The...

    Enough, Diyem said, his tone neither firm nor gentle. Don't let the thoughts take over. Breathe. Then I shall answer.

    Sharpedo Bluff

    ...Yes, Diyem said. I have. And if you did so for the greater good, then you are in a far better position than I ever will be. The guilt is something that does not go away, just as any memory would not. You must reconcile with it. Accept what you did. Move forward, let that drive you to do...

    Diyem sighed, and it felt as if the mist was pacing around Curio, sitting beside her to stare at the ocean's horizon. Maple had given you all a history lesson about this world and the crises that had recently befallen it, one after the other. That the true person behind it all was... Dark...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    The silence finally let up when Curio started replying, but Diyem still found himself paralyzed. You are focused on your own plight because nobody spared the time to hear them. And yet, when they do, you push them away, because perhaps even you do not truly want to focus on it. Perhaps it is...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Diyem did not intend to go away, but he decided to leave that to implication rather than stating it overtly. There are a few Pokemon who can relate to that, said Diyem. One way or another. They do not know the magnitude that you have suffered. ...Hmph. But I would not have chosen you if I...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Fuck. Why was Curio asking the most difficult questions? Diyem wasn't one to yammer on. Was he? Sure, he used to go on rants about the follies of mon, but that was past him now. Mostly. It was still true but he didn't rant as much about it. Follies... Regardless of how you felt in your old...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    I could do that, Diyem replied coolly. But if people ask where you went, I would answer. Then you will be bothered even more. But if you allow my presence, I will tell them that you are alone, but safe.

    Okay, she was talking. That was a start. The next step was making her feel more secure. She was pushing him away and he wasn't supposed to press. What was next? Insulting her? No, that didn't seem right. Mortals were so illogically and needlessly complicated and fickle. I am not one for pep...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Not always, but I imagine the feral ones mostly do. Diyem had always been told that his idea of jokes did not go well for mortals. He supposed he could try the story about the orphaned hatchling speaking to the berry bush, but that usually made people sad. Probably not the best time right now...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    The negativity attracted Diyem like a bug to carrion. Slowly, his attention drew toward Curio, ever silent, as he wondered just how he could approach this. Curio was clearly in a great amount of distress, and that wouldn't do for team dynamics, especially when it was very likely that Brisa...

    Owen didn't look surprised to startled this time like he usually would--he was probably thinking of the same thing. He nodded toward her. "Glad to've been there," he said. "Hey, and if you ever need to talk or anything, you can probably find me in the fire. Or if you want to get some energy out...

    "Wow, aren't you formal," Surf said with an amused smile, and then looked to Turf, who was back to sitting down. She was still fatigued, after all, even with all the excitement. "Yeah, take care," Owen said, waving and nodding. Then, leaving the letter for Surf to take care of later, he started...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Owen finished writing out the letter and verified what it said before closing it up. Surf didn't seem to understand most of the diction, or it was too wordy for her to retain interest. By the end, Surf smiled blankly and said, "I'll make sure this gets delivered as soon as possible. Since it's...

    "Oh, that's fine," Surf said, nodding. "I think Diyem--er, our leader, the one guiding us--he helps translate a lot of things, including script. It might just come to you. I have a much easier time writing in Unown script here, though." "Oh, aren't you fancy," Surf commented with an amused...
