Mornings at the Kannagi Shrine were fairly routine, a fact that did not change after they opened the branch shrine in Veilstone City. The residents who woke up the earliest would tend to the gardens and do any cleaning before visitors arrived. Those who worked but did not live there arrived and...

There was a lightness in Nori’s step on Tuesday morning. Besides changing his approach, Lux’s letter had reminded him of something important. He didn’t have to impress people or make them like him, just do what he wanted and needed! Lux was a great example of that, actually. He could’ve been...

Yumi took her time getting to the clubroom at lunchtime on Tuesday. She wanted to make sure that everyone else had arrived by the time she did. She strode down the hall with intent, her eyebrows furrowed and gaze focused. When she opened the door to the small computer lab, there was only one...

I would like to submit this many written pieces (500 words max): 1 --- May as well do more here, though don't see a countdown so...

Happy birthday

Nori had been expecting something of a tepid if not a chilly reception in class following what happened at lunch, so it was something of a relief when there was nothing significant. The extent of things was a few whispers between friends discussing the situation, and otherwise there was not so...

"Used to be?" Nori queries, shrinking back defensively. He assumed this guy was a human once, so who or what did that to him?! Come to think of it though, weren't there rumors about someone who used to be a Pokemon? Probably just unfounded rumors in his case, but... Other than that, he idles...

Nori waves goodbye to the cavewoman and her weird Cyclizar thing as they depart. "So we'll just beat'em both!" Nori declares with a clap of his hands. It was that simple, the way he saw it! And maybe he has a point. Didn't he overhear him mumbling something about this? Either way, Nori...

Three is fine. It was set up so yeah, whoever jumps in and starts the cycle first gets to do it, everyone else got left out. In that case, Mighyena and friends. Like I mentioned OoC though, it fit Nori so I didn't mind much, but I imagine others might've gotten annoyed. Oh definitely. There...

- Pace was okay. Nothing was too slow. Though the one day time limits in the battle led to some late nights, probably worth a mention even if I could pull it off. Definitely worked on others however, which is a good thing. Intended length, yeah, it needed more, but it ended up 3 which didn't...

"But what about him?" Nori asks, gesturing to the cloak-wearing Latios. Hey, now that he thought about it, what was up with the kanji on the back? "What if...um." He rubs the back of his head. "Well. They're not usually considered Legendary in my world. But I guess they are here, and he was one...

Being in a capsule was annoying. It was artificial. Too comforting. Not what she liked. She did not know how that rodent or even that epafasu functioned. She tolerated it by circumstance. Carino made a point. Too many manhs were uncomfortable around her. Not that she cared. If he got a bigger...

“Oh, thank you!” Pachi says, graciously accepting. He strikes a pose. “Stylish! I feel like a Contest star!” Nori puts his hands on his hips. “Thought it was either that or them disapproving and 'betraying' you,” he remarks. “Jeez, how did whatever did this get to all of you? There has to be...

“What the hell?!” Nori scuttles back and gets his guard up as the corruption freaking melts off the afflicted legendary Pokemon. He eyes it as if it’s a snake that might leap up at any one of them. Only when it just sits there for several long seconds, and the Keldeo starts to speak, do his...

Nori begins to open his mouth, yet he freezes up. He turns away slightly and sighs. “Honor kind of is arbitrary and abstract,” the boy admits. His voice rings with a hollow sorrow. “That’s because what it is may be different depending on who you ask. I’ve seen people use it to justify their...

Nori nods emphatically! “I know we will. We’ll find a way! If we haven’t already done so.” As for his question, well. Nori was musing that to himself at first, but now that someone else brought it up, he puts forth his thoughts. “I think one of three things. One, they got corrupted like he was...

“Ow!” Nori vocalizes and cringes with sympathy at the shattered horn. Even if it happened to not have nerve endings in it, that had to have hurt. “But if that's what had to be done...” He trails off, and again, says this more to himself. It wasn't like they were out to cripple him or were going...

By now, Pachi knew what to do; his foe was basically doing the same thing. He went right underneath the swing and towards Keldeo. The kick landed, but without much room for a windup and Pachi being light to begin with, it did barely any damage. “Woohoo!” He dances, and coughs a bit because of...

After challenging Keldeo to actually give examples instead of just saying things, Nori observes the others to see what they would do. Some were refusing or hesitant to fight to prove a point. Others were trying to fight smarter. Still others were...trying to impose. Was that stupid or brilliant...

“Hey, you’re not completely wrong,” Nori agrees? But the way he smirks tells that he has more to say, and it is not going to be pleasant either. “It’s another kind of strength to know when to adapt. Sometimes, you have to do something you don’t want to but have to in that moment. Being able to...
