  • 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 Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "That would be nice. It's better to train with somebody else who can react. I train with Rocky a lot." She raised her scythes, tensing in preparation for what Wishkeeper would do.

    Mia narrowed her eyes at him. "I'm strong. But this body isn't solid. It absorbs impact. It would be better if it didn't."

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Mia knocked down the last training dummy and looked around. Owen had become too big to sleep in the house so he usually rolled around in a Pokéball. She hadn't seen him much in a while. "Hi."

    Threadmarks: R14 - Mia and Owen

    Mia couldn't find Nate or Rocky. They were probably out working getting everything prepared before they went to fight Eien, which made sense. Mia would rather train, though. Everyone else was already working on it, and adding more people would have diminishing returns. Technically Dave was...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Dave led the way out of the training rooms. In the empty corridor of the Colosseum, Mia spoke again, frowning. "Do you want to merge with Joule?" "Mia, what the fuck. I'm not a shade." "If what Rocky was saying is like your brain, then if you were a shade maybe you'd want to merge with...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Mia squinted at Rocky. "Is this like Dave's brain problems?" Wh-- dear fucking God. "Yes, we're done here. Mia, we're leaving." "I didn't say anything new. They already know about--" "Goodbye." Dave turned her around with a firm paw on her back and motioned to leave. Why the fuck had he even...

    "Well, I'm not exactly eager to just take his fucking word for it." Dave scowled at Rocky. "Anyone else who could confirm Millijoule actually wanted to go back to him?" God, why was he even here still talking about this shit. He had better things to worry about. Like whether Soda was the...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    A shade had... what. Well, maybe those were eager to go back to him, for all he knew. Maybe if Squiggly'd met Joule pre-Ultra Stone he'd have been dying to join him. Didn't change that they'd gone and carved out their own identities now, and Joule had no business taking any of them back unless...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Dave narrowed his eyes at Rocky. "So Joule's been able to absorb all of you this whole time and just didn't?" Christ. He didn't really trust Joule with any familiar, ever, but if he'd actually not been trying to reabsorb anyone so far, that was at least a bit reassuring. And apparently that came...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Dave stared at him. Shit. What? What the fuck? "What do you mean, Millijoule decided he wanted to go back to being Joule? And to be clear, who told you he wanted it, because if it was fucking Joule you should not buy that, on principle." Was the fucker just going around murdering familiars...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Any other time he would have just ignored it, but right now the Mudkip's nonsense was just grating. "Look, I'm sorry some people here have things to do other than sit around in the Colosseum. Maybe if you'd..." His brain caught up with what Rocky'd just said. About Joule, breaking cores. He...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Mia looked satisfied by her victory, grinning in her slightly unsettling way as she harmlessly chopped Rocky into pieces. Dave suppressed a shudder as she turned back toward him, expression instantly turned to vague irritation. "You said you wouldn't be here until five." "Yeah. Yeah, I know I...

    Threadmarks: R12 - Dave, Mia, Nate and Rocky Discuss Going Into the Light

    Mia was at the Colosseum, like she often was, probably with Rocky or somebody. Would Nate be there right now? Whatever. If that guy was going to give him shit right now over his own weird dramatic insistence that he couldn't bear to have Dave in the same room as him, so fucking be it. He headed...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Nate was a trainer. She supposed she remembered something like that, a bit, from when she wasn't herself yet. Dave had beaten him pretty easily when they'd fought, but he'd been smart with that Endeavor at the end. He was probably good as a trainer, when he didn't have to do the fighting...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "Hmm." Mia thought about the fight, narrowing her eyes. She'd been winning before Rocky suddenly used Sheer Cold. She didn't need to do anything different. But he was talking about other people who were smarter than Rocky, and it made sense. Trying to make it harder for them to know what she...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Mia could tell he still didn't want to get Dave back at all, and frowned at him. But then he changed the subject to fighting instead, and that was okay, if he probably wasn't going to change his mind anyway. "What tips?"

    "That's not the same. When you drive drunk you're more likely to get into an accident. But they couldn't have kept us by accident, without the other people interfering. It's more like if you went out to drive normally, but then somebody else cuts your brakes so you can't stop when you were going...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Mia nodded slowly. "So you don't like genetic engineering because in your world some people made Mewtwo and he kills a lot of people. But our parents weren't trying to engineer any people or Pokémon who could go out and kill anyone or be unhappy about how they were made. They all knew that would...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Hmm. That made a bit more sense. She tilted her head. "It doesn't make any difference what my parents were thinking before I was born. Even if I cared about that, medical research is much more interesting than just wanting to have kids. And you could engineer the stronger Mewtwo so it gets...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "We aren't designed as tools because they didn't mean for us to exist in the first place," Mia said. They'd gone around in a circle again. "We weren't made to do anything. They don't even want us to use our powers. There's no point talking to you if you're just going to keep saying the same...
