  • 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.

    "That is one way you can look at things," Giovanni said. "I acknowledge that if I were to fight you directly, head on... perhaps that won't be enough." As he spoke, Starr's barriers layered themselves one after the other in front of her, and yet Giovanni didn't look like he intended to strike...

    "Gah--!" Silver knelt down, wincing. "That's... as far as I can go," he muttered. "Guess I can't really harness the power of a Legend after all... Not as well as you can, at least. Hmph... Guess I still have some training to do." "But I'm far from finished," Giovanni said, having been flung...

    "Even against the greatest adversity, you have never stopped," Giovanni said, the undertones of his mocking lost to the crowd, who was eating it up. Giovanni's commanding charisma had Cibus under his spell... Was this how he had ascended to power in the past? "Show them a challenge, Cibus! Lend...

    "What wonderful attacks," Giovanni said with a mock-smile, bringing his wings together as if swooning. Despite the gesture, there wasn't an ounce of love in his tone. "It makes me think that you almost stand a chance against my evil plans. Almost. Come on, Cibus! Do you think Team Spectrum is...

    "Don't think I'll let my weaknesses get the better of me!" Silver shouted. "Pure power. In the end, that's what allowed you all to defeat the Blacklight. Even if the power came from something else..." He nodded. "I'll show you mine!" Two silhouettes appeared behind Silver like a trick of the...

    The Mewtwo rolled his eyes as Incineroar got to his usual cheers and rallies. He really was good at that sort of thing... "You were clever to suggest this anonymously," Giovanni said, floating with relative ease above them all. "I thought this was a reward for good behavior. But a battle in the...

    Leg followed after them without hesitation, worry in her eyes. She hopped onto Brisa's shoulders, and then her back if she ever reverted her shape. Leg murmured to herself now and then, but her words were too soft to understand. Still, it seemed like she'd been off her game to begin with; maybe...

    Destiny Colosseum

    The arena was silent, even if the audience was still abuzz with activity, cheering even more than before. It didn't match what was happening in the arena, but only keen eyes would spot Ionys making subtle gestures with his claws that might have been showing the audience a different story. "An...

    "S... ssss..." Leg hissed a few times, looking between them. She recognized their strength; she knew, in the end, that she would not be able to last against an onslaught while her disguise was down. She'd run out of time... And their hits, just from how hard they'd gone toward Truffle... Yes...

    "It seems that they can only barely break through that disguise!" Sprout said. "Truffle is still hanging on, but how long can it last?!" And then, swiftly while the crowd was paying attention to the battle, he spoke into his earpiece. The words were a little more hushed, but sensitive ears in...

    "N-no...!" Truffle was blown back, toppling into the sand a few feet away and leaving Leg completely exposed, aside from her disguise. She stiffened up at this, but then shrank away, bracing behind her disguise. with her eyes shut. Almost blindly, she lashed out. <><><> The rest of Truffle...

    "So, your strength continues..." Truffle sighed. "We need to find a way to cut that down, and quickly... don't we? Thankfully, I already know of one way to get that done...!" "I'm not weak," Truffle murmured to himself, glancing at the stands, where Ionys watched quietly. "I can protect...

    "Gah--you're quite strong," Truffle complimented, though his Substitute remained, and it seemed like it could take another battering without too much trouble. "Do not think that I am weak from my age alone!" It seemed like none of the hits had actually struck Truffle or the Substitute. There...

    Leg hissed, but she knew this would be coming. She already got to work repairing the disguise--it wasn't too much damage to it, after all--but there was a worrisome glint in her eyes at the same time, as if she was ready to pull something soon... Truffle, meanwhile, was muttering a few arcane...

    "All right." Ionys held up his hands, sighing. His ghostly form was just slightly see-through, and Truffle watched him with concern. "Why'd you call me?" "...You've... passed on, then." "I mean. Sure. Not really has the same impact since I went and took on spiritual duties right away, but. I...

    It was a clear win for Starr and her team, despite everything, but Flesh seemed lighter. And not just because of the massive output of energy he'd sent out, either. Soda hobbled his way to the exhausted behemoth and placed a hand on his side. "Y'did good, buddy," he said. "...Good fight, you...

    "NOW!" Soda called, glancing at the battle screens. "Gah! We're out of time! DO IT NOW!" "AAAAAAH!" It was a valiant war cry and Flesh finally discovered his fire. He stared down the two remaining opponents he had and swelled with all of the power he had absorbed. He was weak. Dave had...

    Flesh stumbled backwards, but then looked ready to strike for something else. That glow was at its apex, now. "All right, buddy!" Soda said. "They ignored you, so let loose!" Flesh let out a loud groan in protest, looking worriedly at the crowd. "They ain't cheering against you!" Soda...

    "Aaaaagh, fuck," Soda finally grunted, rolling until he was on the far side of the arena, coughing a slurry of electrified blood. "Yep, that'll do me in..." He rolled to his side. Flesh, meanwhile, stood in place, glancing once at Soda, then at Brisa, Starr, and Dave. He seemed to be trembling...

    "Ugh... y-you think... that's all I got?!" Soda's voice echoed from all around, striking Dave several times, but the attacks were feeble. He was all out of sorts. Despite increasing his defenses, it seemed like Soda was having trouble keeping up with offenses. Meanwhile, Flesh could tell that...
