  • 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.

    Destiny Tower

    Brisa and Luz watched the meeting proceed, exchanging thoughts in careful, halting telepathic exchanges. Every now and again, Brisa winced. Luz scratched notes into their notepad. Their tails lashed in matching bursts. "So, there's somethin' th'two of us were jus' thinkin'," said Brisa...

    Destiny Tower

    "That'd be my pleasure, darlin'!" answered Luz, scooping Vix as best as she was able into the lampent's own bag. Well, this wasn't at all how she'd imagined spending her time an hour ago, but it could scarcely have gone better! And hey, she'd made a new friend. One that Brisa would doubtless...

    Destiny Tower

    Luz laughed uproariously and scooped up Vix's waxen form in a hug as she twirled around in a dance of sheer delight. She was boiling with heat, with infinity energy, with joy! She'd never felt so alive! So free! So worth existing! "That was the time of my life so far!" she cried. "We're doin'...

    Destiny Tower

    "I'll match yer lightshow!" cried Luz. As she charged her plasma to the point of crackling across her whole physical form, ready to grapple with her opponent, she knew this is what she was meant for! Never mind those piddly little sparring matches! To hell with auxiliary duties on Spectrum...

    Destiny Tower

    Luz grinned with the sheer thrill of novelty as her opponent used a technique she'd never even heard of! This was already worthwhile! There was no point dodging the Heat Wave. Instead, Luz yowled with pain and delight, and turned into the attack, leaping for Vix with her plasma-wreathed paws...

    Destiny Tower

    "Awright! I'm comin' atcha!" Luz ran forward in a burst of light and power, her arms crackling with conjured plasma. Vix was a resilient opponent with a lot of magical power. Luz knew just how to deal with that: the same way she fought every battle. Quick on her feet and lashing out with any...

    Destiny Tower

    Luz trilled with delight. "Well hey, darlin'! I feel just the same way about fightin', same as my gal Brisa. Why don't we have a tussle right here'n now, and y'can show me what yer made of!" Blue lightning poured over Luz's silhouetted form, and she took up a ready stance for an informal...

    Luz laughed. "If'n ya wanna stay a puddle, that oughta be yer right! Sounds like a nice life, gettin' ferried around in a bag like that, though it sure ain't fer me." Her eyes flashed. "What I'm about is buck-wild experiences! Especially a good battle. Y'fancy a sparrin' match some time...

    Destiny Tower

    Luz reached out a paw to shake Vix's 'arm' between a fingerpad and her thumbpad. "I find all folks interestin' t'meet!" she said. "Sorry to disappoint, but I'm only so fast and powerful. Gettin' stronger though, that's fer sure." She cocked her head at Puddle. "Say, partner. D'ya got an inklin'...

    Destiny Tower

    Luz nodded. "Well... I only really got some fuzzy memories from Brisa, and she got into a lotta fights back home. Mostly pretty mundane stuff. But in the folktales, the real Luz was supposed to have fought forces of nature and higher legends and come out on top. It kinda... feels weird, havin'...

    Destiny Tower

    Luz nodded. "Well, a human or, maybe like Silver's team. In either case, the effects of the blacklight are pretty disturbin'! Interestin' though, fer sure." She scratched her cheeks in thought. "We may not have much choice about what we do or don't fight. What're ya used to from yer own world?"

    Destiny Tower

    Luz shrugged again. Lotta shrugging going on. "That's assumin' we can trust the psychics. Which, t'be fair, we probably can. Yer right about Giovanni though. Fella's crazy powerful, although he seems to prefer telekinesis to mind magic." Luz kicked idly at a brick fragment. "The power level is...

    Destiny Tower

    Luz shrugged. "There's not rightly enough to go on. My gut says it were some third party nonsense we have no idea at, but the level of coordination suggests the whole thing were planned by the 'spies'. Too bad it's near enough to impossible to get that kind of read on any of the active members...

    "Lil' birdy tipped me off," quipped Luz. "Please t'meet y'both. I'm as well as anythin'. So, how can I make myself useful?" She glanced about, marvelling at the sheer destruction. Wasn't this the home of the highest authority and most powerful native being on the planet? "And, uh. How've the...

    Destiny Tower

    It turned out you didn't need to be hungover to miss an interesting fight! Luz strolled up to the tower and gave a long, low whistle. Whatever did this had to be seriously strong, and confident too. "That ain't less'n a scratch," she remarked. "Say, lampent gal. Yer name's Vix, right? How do...

    "I'm sick of having so little information," snarled Brisa. "We oughta be able to reason with each other based on what we know to be true. I'll be rectifyin' that as best I can in days to come. But in the meantime, y'can count me in fer this rematch. I'll take on anyone in a friendly challenge...

    Destiny Tower

    Brisa scowled. "We've stood up to one threat after another and won every single time. We've saved innocents, we've helped purify victims, we've... we've even made friends here. We'll keep doin' that, whatever anyone has to say about it." Luz beamed ear-to-ear. This was what she liked to hear.

    Brissa scoffed. "Well I sure ain't gonna kill myself or let anyone do me in, just in case Shield is right and Team Spectrum are a liability. Honestly, if Diyem could control us, he oughta have controlled Zane during our first week to save him damagin' our fuckin' reputation so badly with that...

    "Hang on a minute," said Brisa, her mind sprinting. "Shield, there's a hell of a lot you ain't caught up with yet. The Mewtwo you're fightin' created an artificial Dark Matter some time ago, and we destroyed it in Shaymin Village, under orders of our Dark Matter. Then there's the issue of the...

    Brisa shot Bahamut a sour look. "If that's true, I'm sure Buffet will corroborate your assessment, fella." Fuckin' dude was no less cavalier for bein' a cat-critter and not a great big fuckin' prism, huh. "You thought that was Dark Matter, right? And that yer Dark Matter was the same one who...
