  • 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

    Mia was already moving back out of range as soon as her attack made contact; Rocky's first countering Fire Punch grazed her foot, the black goo that formed it splattering and reforming with a searing tingle, but she was out of reach before he could hit her with the next. She zipped around in the...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Mia darted higher to avoid the worst of the Heat Wave. It was a wide-range move and hard to dodge completely, but this way it only singed her feet. She pushed her boosted speed harder, trying to stay ahead of the wave, waiting for the moment the attack died down and she could dip in for an...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "I am, too." Mia had learned about the rules behind friendly battles since hatching. Asking first, starting in particular places, waiting to start until everyone's ready. They were annoying and arbitrary, like most rules, but of course, she had figured, and Dave had confirmed (though she hadn't...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Mia was in the middle of practicing her slashes when someone bounced into the room and started asking questions. She finished a lunge at the reinforced punching bag before she looked up. It was a familiar, like her, in the shape of an Infernape, followed by the Mudkip she remembered from the...

    Daycare? Sure. Of course it was. "You can say that again." He shook his head. "Let's go talk to your dad." <><><><><>

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Dave gave her a skeptical look. He hadn't exactly sounded like some sort of noble altruist. But whatever. If Brisa wanted to? Why not. See this guy for himself. Let him explain whatever sorry-ass excuse he had. Maybe Dave could have a word or two with him. "Sure. Okay. Where are we going?" He...

    "Hmmm." Brisa's fucking dad, though? "I don't know, would he even help? Do we want his help? You made him sound like the world's biggest shitbag. Why do we want to even ask him?"

    Dave blinked. "What? You sure? I'm sure there are some psychics in Cibus that aren't that motherfucker."

    Dave quirked an eyebrow. "Yeah, that's pretty specific. What are you thinking?"

    "Yeah, no, not really. They're smarter than people often give them credit for, but they can't talk. They can express basic ideas, like 'I'm hungry' or 'go away', but no complex communication or abstract thought the way we think of it, as far as anyone can tell."

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "Huh." Even as a Poochyena he couldn't quite relate to that. But speaking to Brisa about it was a... pretty interesting perspective. They'd always seen her hunter's instinct as something fundamentally animalistic that her human, reasoning half just had to rein in. But here was a sapient Pokémon...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    “Yeah, she’s very good at this. Still getting used to it, you know, being normal here.” Mia had spent all her human life essentially wanting this while they tried to get her to keep it strictly to games with her sister, because humans were squishy and she could murder one in the blink of an...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    “Yeah?” Dave looked up from Mia’s fighting exercises. She was darting all over the place, lunging at imaginary things with precise slashes of her glowing scythes. “What’s going on?”
