  • 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.

    Nate shook his head. "Not a barrier. A bomb. Something that'll blow the thing up out where it ain't gonna hit nobody. Have to be a pretty big one to disrupt a blast like that, but I think we could swing it."

    Destiny Tower

    "Right. More or less what I was thinking. What I don't get it why you don't put yourself behind something that'll destroy the attack before you start the whole draw thing. That way you don't gotta worry about the attack coming back towards us, or going on to hit you. Because it'll be, you know...

    Destiny Tower

    Nate grimaced. "I mean, it sounds like a solid enough plan to me, who-knows shit aside. Mostly just seems like there's gotta be some way to pull it off without you getting blown up." He rubbed at his head. "So, not sure if I understand this properly, but you said you're gonna draw this thing...

    "Too... big, huh," Nate said, drumming his fingers on the tile. "So you're thinking it's too dangerous to blow up before it gets launched? That seemed like the simplest solution to me. Or is where you're going to run off with it the thing that's got you so cagey?"

    Destiny Tower

    "Oh, didn't figure it would kill you. Thousand-year sleep, poofed into stardust like Buffet"--hopefully that wasn't fucking fatal, not like he'd seen the guy out and about at all recently--"something like that. Whatever it is, I figure it can't be a great time if it's got you forgetting your...

    Nate nodded. "Yeah. Figured it was something like that." He sat back on his haunches and gave Arceus a crooked look. "You know, last time I was in here, you were saying something like how you couldn't send me home because everybody'd be all sad I was gone, people'd go all shadowy and unstable...

    "Right. So the problem is, even if we can smack some sense into the guy, that won't stop the attack he already charged up. That's where you come in. Am I hearing that right?"

    Destiny Tower

    "Hmmm." Not quite what Nate had been expecting. He exchanged a glance with Rocky, who had stopped glowing, looking deflated. "That makes sense. So you think all this business with the Reverse World or whatever ain't gonna work?"

    Destiny Tower

    "Hi!" Rocky chirped. "Sorry we didn't come and see you sooner. The magic thing you did to block telepathy works really well. Did you see? I can still do it." He drew himself up, and familiar bands of golden light glowed around his core, their light murky through his shadowy chest. "Thanks a...

    Threadmarks: [R9] What Must be Done (Nate, Rocky, and Arceus)

    <><><> Storming out of someplace wasn't very satisfying when your maximum speed was something like half a mile an hour. Rocky didn't even have to speed up to keep up with Nate, just take slightly longer strides. There was nothing for turning your fucking righteous fury to embarrassment like...

    Destiny Tower

    "Gee, I dunno. What's more likely, that somebody captured a god of darkness, the guy who kept going on about saving the world teamed up with Evil Mewtwo #2, or that the guy who was slinging darkness slugs all over the place, which Diyem even said was a Dark Matter-y thing, and who we literally...

    Destiny Tower

    Nate drummed his fingers against the gleaming white tile of Destiny Tower's floor. Not exactly the place he'd like to hang out if he had the choice, and he wanted to get Silver's pokémon back to their trainer as soon as possible. But of course it looked like people were going to take this...

    Destiny Tower

    Nate jumped back when the pokémon's "feet" hit the ground, accompanied by what sounded like a snap of electricity. The bug didn't exactly look happy about life, even after having been righted, but it assured him it was all right and began to inch away in the direction of town. "Y-yeah. Good...

    Destiny Tower

    On its side? Nate did a quick side-to-side check of the bug--had to be a bug, probably the cocoon phase. He had to admit there were some worse options out there than mudkip. Goddammit. Which side was supposed to be the feet? Well, this side was all green, but this one had brown nubs that might...

    Destiny Tower

    In the end, impossibly, everybody made it back through the portal, even the fuckoff stupid dragon mashup the... necrozma?... had apparently conjured up somehow. Nate was giddy and exhausted at the same time, riding the tail-end of the battle high but perfectly aware that he was going to crash...

    Destiny Tower

    "Huh. So she may not know what's up herself? Hadn't really thought of that." That did put a different spin on things, didn't it? Bad enough to crash-land in the middle of an unknown crisis and have one of your squad go missing; a whole lot worse to deal with that shit if you couldn't remember...

    Destiny Tower

    Nate stared transfixed at the golden ring that slithered around Rocky's uh, midriff. Equator. Whatever. "Oh, uh, I thought when you said it was gonna take some time, you meant like a week or some shit," Nate said, staring at the play of golden light. Now there was some real pokémagic. You didn't...

    Destiny Tower

    Nate sighed. "Sounds better than nothing, at least. Guess I can't really leave the guy here for you to take a look at. But if there's anything you can do... Yeah. That'd be great." He tucked Rocky back into his bag. It was fucking stupid, feeling like shit over that. He already knew he was...

    Destiny Tower

    Nate closed his eyes when the beam of light shot towards him, cringing despite himself. His jump when the attack boomed against the wall wasn't exactly very dignified, either. Ah. So Arceus had been planning to kill him all along? What a huge fucking waste of time. Nate looked up at the smoking...

    Destiny Tower

    "Oh, really? That's funny, because I remember it really fucking differently." Good Christ. What was with all this nonsense about friendship? It was like some kind of nightmarish summer camp where everybody was all up in each other's business and so concerned about whether little Johnny made...
