"Name's Mitch," Nate said offhandedly. "Wes," huh? Hadn't exactly met many of them around. What he was itching to ask--what he was dying to ask--was just what the hell had been going on with Wes' evil twin on the boat. But that felt like it would be weird. Weirder than standing around awkwardly...

Well, that was a disarmingly honest answer. Nate couldn't help but return the other guy's grin, if briefly. "Fair enough, I guess. Can't really pretend I wasn't coming here to do the same thing myself." He took an experimental step forward, keeping half an eye on the umbreon. Mightyena glanced...

Nate hadn't seen much point hanging around the police station longer than he absolutely had to. The cop didn't really seem to know much and seemed more interested in pushing blame off onto the hypno chick than anything. Typical cop. Who knew how much of her information they could trust, anyway...

So, did the cop think the hypno chick was suspicious, or not? Nate couldn't tell. It was, like, real fucking subtle. Mightyena let out a soft growl, and Nate reached down to pat the side of her neck. No doubt she was raring to go tear the hypno chick a new one, right this second. And yeah, it...

The day sure as hell hadn't started off well, with some weird note slipped under Nate's hotel door. Even after puzzling over it for ages, he couldn't figure out what the hell it was going on about. And then the whole scream thing, and if Nate had been skeptical that the scizor trainer's supposed...

Ah, gotcha! I usually don't consider that sort of situation to be OOC. Like, it's not in line with the character's typical behavior, but everyone behaves a bit differently when pushed to their limits. To me that isn't a character acting counter to their nature (OOC), but just an example of them...

Welcome! Glad you could join us here. I've definitely heard of your fic; good luck on your rewrite, and I hope you end up posting it! Sounds like it may involve a cat-themed team. :P Your comment about favorites is an interesting one! I've certainly had pokémon I wasn't big on grown on me a lot...

Mightyena was stretched out across the hotel room's big bed, belly-up, one leg kicking now and again as he worked a brush through her fur. There was no real need for it--use a healer regularly and it would keep your mon clean and reasonably presentable--but the gigantic bathroom had entire...

Really interesting topic imo... Conventional wisdom is that OOC is always something to be avoided, so it's neat to think about how it might be utilized or cases where it would be a positive choice. I write almost exclusively OCs, so it's a bit different for me. My characters can still be OOC...

Fantastic! Thanks a lot, Espy.

One-Shot Contest 2022 Theme Poll It's nearly time for our annual one-shot contest! The writing period will begin June 1st, but before anyone can start their writing, we need to figure out what people would like to write about! The theme options above were selected from suggestions submitted...

"Uhh," Nate began, blinking at the place where the girl used to be. The ninetales was growling at Mightyena, who looked just as perplexed as he did. What the fuck was that all about? She hadn't exactly seemed stoked about a battle, but she hadn't seemed that pissed, neither. He raised a hand...

Hoenn? Weird fucking place to go if you wanted a skarmory, especially if you were coming from Johto in the first place. It was obvious the girl didn't want to talk about it, though. He really hoped she wasn't covering for something there. The whole "hoopa brought in a bunch of assholes to...

I was assuming they just saw me at the league put a momentary chill down Nate's spine. He very, very much hoped nobody had seen him at the League and decided to bring him here on that account. Maybe this was actually some sort of twisted punishment for people the hoopa thought weren't getting...

"Yeah, if nothing else, I can't imagine many of the legendaries in my world all hanging out together on one island without starting major shit. They seem to like their fucking space." The hoopa thing honestly seemed less strange than that. "Yeah, you got to figure there's a real story there."...

Nate glanced at Mightyena. Presumably that had come from her. He'd have to talk with her later about not broadcasting what they were doing here... especially if it wasn't just the pokémon who were going to be able to pick up on what she was saying. "I mean, yeah, that's one of the big reasons to...

"The dragon girl's looking in the dorms!" Mightyena said cheerfully. "That's why I'm out here. In case the scizor trainer went somewhere else instead." Nate rubbed the back of his neck and gave Mightyena a sidelong look. "No offense, Mightyena, but I don't know if we want to be running around...

Hoopa. What a fucking name. "I guess that might make sense," Nate said. "I ain't never heard of anything outside the universe where I'm from, but what the hell would I know?" He definitely wasn't an expert on this shit, and he didn't want to be, either. "If there's something that lives outside...

Team Rocket disbanded... Now there was a fucking thought. They'd only been around for like hundreds of fucking years; hard to imagine them just throwing in the towel. Didn't really feel like anything could stop them, most days. "Yeah. That sure as hell don't sound like where I come from," he...

Welcome to the forums! I've seen you around the server, of course, but I'm glad to see you show up here, too! I'm glad you were able to rekindle your love for pokémon, and I hope you've been having fun getting back into the fandom. Welcome again, and I hope you enjoy your time on Thousand Roads!
