  • 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.

    Pokémon A Wonderful Leaf Boat [2023 One-Shot Contest]

    A Wonderful Leaf Boat If Latios were to close his eyes and rely entirely on maimed threads of memory, he would have nothing but smears of colour. Those greens for the grass beneath his once-paws. Grey, maybe blue, for the sky and one streak—one brilliant crystalline streak of blue—cutting...

    8/10 I've definitely heard of Cardiacs before. They're one of those bands you'll inevitably hear about browsing RYM. Never listened before though, because I refuse to be a nerd like those RYM weirdos lol. Can definitely hear the battle theme comparison, too, with those immediate, high-energy...

    9/10 wanted to be more critical, but I was just vibing about a minute in. Makes me mourn for a time when rock music could back up its bluster with some actual muscle. Shockingly a 2000's release--real standout to the rock coming out around then. The guitar tones are great, especially, and...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Eight: Hovering

    Chapter eight Hovering On hitting the road Aeimlou expected he, Hilda, and Atlas would get through quickly. He turned out to be wrong for a number of reasons. First, though humans had several means of transportation, many faster than any individual creature, they could not use them until...

    Pokémon Fledglings

    This is an alternate timeline where I'm reviewing Fledglings instead of Once a Thief. I'm also evil in this universe, but that doesn't change much except my haircut. Happy catnip! It felt wrong to just do the prologue, so I've managed to review up to chappie 2 before getting sleepy. Here we go...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Seven: Now For Plan A

    Chapter Seven Now For Plan A Route fourteen had a sense of mysticism to it. Could be the fog spewing from the waterfall on one side and sea on the other, which liked to gather under the treetops and make all those towering pines seem like the gnarled legs of massive creatures. The waterfalls...

    Exquisite Corpse 2023

    Yes, I'd like Deathly, Mary Sue, and Team Grunt, thank you. Barring incredible circumstances, I doubt anything would prevent me from writing for any whole weeks. I'm willing to start, too. My body is ready.

    Threadmarks: Chapter Six: Lock and Klefki

    Chapter Six Lock and Klefki Seafolk’s alley’s were almost a relief compared to the docks. Cramped, piled with nets and traps and other old fishing equipment, lurking under the shade of the buildings and towering platforms jutting from the roofs, really, they weren’t that inviting. But the bay...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Six: Sunlight

    Chapter six Sunlight Isaac might’ve been in the middle of a meltdown. He didn’t sleep or eat—though he couldn’t tell if he had to do either anymore—but he continued feeling exhausted and confused. He’d migrated from trying to find comfort in the embrace of the couch to splayed across it, head...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Five: Outside

    Chapter five Outside The guild lobby lay empty as Solder and Larcen woke up and went through Larcen’s morning routine. Food? Check. Bags? Check. Grooming? Well, Solder had had enough of that yesterday. He could stand to look a little scruffy. Sure, Larcen tried to tease, but the buizel couldn’t...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Four: Fall Apart, Together

    Chapter four Fall Apart, Together While it would be fun to ignore all the warning signs, Solder felt awkward sitting on a pin as obvious as Larcen’s theft. They hadn’t known each other long, but it seemed like they’d be sticking together and Solder wasn’t excited to get pinned as an accomplice...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Five: Isaac

    Chapter Five Isaac Isaac didn’t remember when he was born, but the events were told to him many times over with the sort of airs they got at service, one basking in nature, taking in all Mew had to offer with wide grins and open arms. “He’s got the fire inside him,” the priest, supposedly...

    Pokémon The Foolish Oddish

    Catnip time! Also ouch, it hurts. I'm surprised I haven't seen/read/experienced this earlier because it's certainly in line with what I like to read and write. A very bittersweet story. Tragic, but also kind of not? I think without the final paragraph tying your story to the in-universe story...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Three: Morning

    Chapter Three Morning By the time Solder and Larcen got back to the guild it was late, the dusky grey sky melting into a pure black. Larcen had shuffled back onto his couch. He’d conked out the second he sank into the cushions, kicking up a cloud of dust that Solder watched settle back onto the...

    Pokémon Once a Thief

    I return. First, two eensy-teensy replies. Review time. Chappies 6-8 now. Oh, war What stuck out to me most in terms of worldbuilding this time was a bunch of stuff surrounding the consequence of war. Yipee! Once again, great consideration of small details. The refugee camps and...

    Four: A Great View Up above, hundreds of metres in the sky, Hoenn shone. The waters, mostly, which flowed in the gaps between land, almost seeming to crawl up the beaches and through the rivers to mainland mountains and lakes. The blue felt so solid and still from this height, but Latios had...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Two: Our House

    Chapter Two Our House Solder didn’t know what to expect when he entered the innards of the guild; he could only imagine as he squinted through the transition from the darkness of the hallway into the brightly lit main room. Luckily, he didn’t have to imagine for very long. The room was large...
