  • 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.

    "Oh, if he won't tell you, that is hard," Rocky said. "I think I have some ideas, but... I don't know. If he won't tell you, and he's too scared to want to be near you, it would be hard. I know he doesn't like being in the tower much. I think he'd like it if you showed him some of the...

    Oh. Well. That wasn't a very funny answer. "I noticed you weren't doing your funny voice anymore," Rocky said. "I miss it." He thought for a little while. "I guess I understand why you want to recombine with Cola so bad, then. It would be scary to feel like you were getting old and missing out...

    That did sound kind of complicated. Being a god was probably tough. "I think maybe I get it, a little," Rocky said. "But if splitting Cola off from yourself was like taking one of the ingredients out of a cake, which ingredient was it?" He considered for a moment before smiling faintly, his tail...

    "Well, if you don't really know yet, I guess that's okay," Rocky said. "You should have time to figure it out." Unless something happened to Cola beforehand. "I don't get it, though. Didn't you make a whole other one of you? When you made the other Cibus? And the other Pop's just as powerful...

    Rocky nodded slowly. "That's good. I don't want to make Joule hurt if I'm not with him. And I don't want you to feel bad because Cola isn't part of you, either." He rubbed the back of his neck. "I know Cola wasn't supposed to happen like this. I mean, he was supposed to replace you, right? You...

    "Oh, a decade's pretty long," Rocky said. "Really long! I don't think I can even imagine what it would be like to live that long. I don't know if Cola will think it's long enough, but it's probably a good place to start. At least it's a lot more time than a couple weeks." Rocky shifted...

    "Well, if you both have the same soul, how different can you be?" Maybe that wasn't the right way to think about it. Was he supposed to have the same soul as Joule? It didn't feel like he did. Joule didn't seem that different from Rocky, but he did seem really different from Cal or Mia or...

    "He's cute!" Rocky smiled and rested his chin on the palm of his hand. "Do you think he'll grow up to be like you, then? If he can't get power from the tree, he can still get it from other places, can't he?"

    "You can't guess?" Rocky crossed his arms, hunching his shoulders against the wind. After a moment he asked, "Were you little like Cola when you were, umm, born? Did you hatch from an egg, too, or did you kind of just"--he waggled his fingers on empty air--"happen?"

    Destiny Tower

    "Yes, I saw Cola," Rocky said. "He wanted me to come talk to you. He got scared... Because of a joke you made about Joule. Like if you absorbed Cola, you'd be able to make good jokes?" Rocky prodded at the tower's flagstones with a toe. "Cola thought that was pretty scary, because he thought...

    Rocky jumped when the light made him teleport--that hadn't happened before! He wanted to go over to the edge and look out over everything. Maybe he'd be able to see all the way to Treasure Town from up here! Seeing Pop again turned his excitement straight to guilt, though. "Yeah," he said...

    Threadmarks: [R12] The Soft Drink Conundrum (Rocky and Pop)

    Rocky didn't start to feel apprehensive until he was actually climbing the hill towards Destiny Tower. After only a quick stop at the shed to discuss things with Mudkip, he'd set off towards the tower, determined to finally talk to Pop and fix everything. Whatever Soda and Mudkip said, Pop was a...

    Nate had the feeling that if it was possible for Arceus to have planted memories in his successor's head, he would have done so rather than writing everything down, but, like. Details. "Yeah, sounds like he pretty much wanted you to be a clone of him. Pretty shit. And I'm getting a headache just...

    Destiny Tower

    Dear God(s?), there were two of them now. Not exactly the surprise Nate had been hoping to find at the top of the tower. And judging by the egg at the back of the room, this wasn't one of those weird "apprenticeship" situations. Did that mean the little Arceus-thing had come about the usual way...

    "Bye, Arceus! We'll come see you after the fight, okay? We can celebrate! Good luck. We'll all be rooting for you!" "Okay, okay," Nate said, waving the notebook for Rocky to take back. "The guy's got important shit to do. Let him go." Rocky didn't protest while Nate led him out of the tower...

    Nate watched Arceus turn away, feeling tired above all else. "Well, good luck and all. You done us a real solid, and if you ever--" "Wait!" Rocky was rooting around in his bag. "You can't just go off like that. You need... you need..." He pulled out the notebook, scattering a couple random...

    "Ah. Yeah. Almost forgot about all the spy shit with all the other crazy bull that landed on us. Guess it wouldn't be a good idea to tell us any clues you might have about who it might be, neither. Well." He got back to his feet, tail wagging to get out a cramp. Impressive-looking marble wasn't...

    "What--what do you mean?" Rocky said. He sounded like he was about to fucking cry, Jesus. "Rocky--" "You can't just give up!" the infernape said, hands balled into fists and crown blazing. "That's what you're saying, right? That it doesn't matter if you disappear?"

    "Yeah?" Nate shot a covert look at Rocky, who was looking morose. You never knew when the guy was going to come out with something totally inappropriate at a time like this. "I mean, you're kind of important, right? Keeping the legends in line and all that. Laying down the law when things go...

    "Well, yeah, exploding it outright would be the idea. So long as it ain't gonna hit anything, like in space or something. To use judgement you're gonna need to be inside the blast radius, yeah?"
