    Vs Despot King, Orzo

    Reinforcements were arriving. May blinked as people reunited with friends, partners, lovers, heart thumping, not sure what to expect. Whether to expect anyone. An ear-splitting roar sounded over the crowd, somehow bone-chillingly familiar before she had even identified it. Her head snapped...

    Vs Despot King, Orzo

    Spirit didn't exactly comment on growing suddenly huge, but May suspected she was enjoying it. The battle raged on, chaos and several gigantic Pokémon and fancy form changes she'd never seen before (Espeon and Umbreon with wings?). More legendaries came out and got made short work of. In the...

    Pokémon No Quarter

    Read this yesterday and quite enjoyed it! Loved the worldbuilding flavor and characterization from small details, the touches of humour, and in particular the different ways you show bigotry manifesting. Ada's whole noble savage thing, a sort of admiration for Sierra while also deciding clearly...

    Pokémon A Perfect World (Mischief and Malice)

    Hey! I read this in the Google Doc back when the results were published, then gave it another skim now since it took a while before you posted it and then before I got to it. I think you did a lovely job on all the creative, unsettling apocalyptic imagery throughout - the mutant monsters, the...

    Pokémon PMD: Rangers of Sky

    Heya! I just read through what's up so far and really enjoyed it. The art is lovely, the characterization is excellent, and the whole bit with the well was deliciously creepy and intriguing - can't wait to learn more about what was going on there. The world's got a lot of texture and flavor...

    Pokémon The Queen of Kalos

    Chapter 1 Aww, Serena is really down on her luck. The background hint that she used to perform with Ash is intriguing, bet that's going to be important later. I have not seen the film this is based on, so it's unfortunately going to be hard for me to discern what here is stuff from the movie...

    Vs Despot King, Orzo

    In the sweltering heat of Groudon's presence, of course, it was a perfect opportunity for Spirit to use her fire. She flashed a binding stare at Yveltal as Aggron shattered its shield, then struck it with two bright Flamethrowers, powered by the heat and by the activation of her Flash Fire. And...

    Pokémon Inkedust's Collection of One-Shots and Drabbles

    Hey! This was a really fun read. Darkrai is such an openly villainous guy, reveling in classic evil overlord things and torturing his underlings for the smallest slight, and for the villain of a story it'd be kind of cheesy, but in this story it just makes it so satisfying to watch the Stranger...

    Pokémon Curse (one-shot)
    Threadmarks: Curse

    (credit to Umbra for Kari's character design) Author's note: This is a one-shot that I originally wrote in 2009 (well, I'd written an older draft of one scene of it before that that I only ever posted on one forum), which I've been fiddling with on and off of late. If you've read the old...

    Vs Despot King, Orzo

    Orzo was a giant golden monstrosity. Two other legendaries emerging from his rings, Rayquaza charging something. And people were... singing? What on Earth. Quick shouts came together in a plan. They had to get Rayquaza before it could fire whatever it was preparing, first of all. "Spirit, Mean...

    Pokémon Nameless (2022 Contest One-shot)

    Ooohhh. Really enjoyed this one. I think you did a really lovely job on the style here, keeping the narrative voice consistent and the language punchy, and it all feels really polished and well executed. The use of the name theme and the final lines of each section is a great choice for...

    Tarnished Lands - Realm of the Golden King

    The oppressive pressure in the air was deafening. Xavian stood there, limbs all wrong, unnatural grin plastered across his face, and she felt sick. In the end, this was just a legendary battle, wasn't it? Just another one of those, with more people, and fewer Pokémon each. Spirit growled by her...

    Pokémon Into Light (2022 Contest Oneshot)

    That does add some context! I assumed Moonsong was just a random member of the troupe because Ribbontail just identified them as Moonsong and not in a way that suggested it was especially personal, but it makes sense if they were his child specifically. I think what's striking me about it...

    Pokémon Into Light (2022 Contest Oneshot)

    Hoo boy, what a story. I figured from the start that Vera didn't actually get killed by ghosts, but didn't have an inkling of where it wound up actually going (though you foreshadow it nicely throughout). I thought you did a lovely job of writing Ken's POV, his prejudice, his relationship with...

    Pokémon Hunting Game

    Hey! I read this story yesterday in the Google Doc, so unfortunately no line-by-lines, and apologies if I comment on something that's been changed, but I figured I'd drop overall thoughts! I really enjoyed this story on most every level. The prose is smooth, the second-person POV reads well, it...

    Pokémon Eidolon (TR 2022 contest one-shot)

    Hey! I read this yesterday in my contest entry marathon so I thought I'd stop by and drop a bit of a review - no line quotes unfortunately since I wasn't taking down quotes as I read, but general thoughts. I don't think I've read much significant prose from you before but I think you did quite...

    Tarnished Lands - Realm of the Golden King

    Okay, whatever. May rubbed her face, sighing, about to say something like okay, fine, it just sounded like you were about to bail on us, but before she could, Mitch suddenly turned, barking at Wes about how his name was definitely Mitch. She looked between the two of them, Mitch trying to...

    Tarnished Lands - Realm of the Golden King

    Spirit winced. "Most Pokémon's mouths and vocal cords cannot form the sounds to speak human. I was given the ability by Entei." She perked up again, switching back to her native speech. "But you should be able to learn our Pokémon speech. You can make sounds, correct? By arranging them right, at...
