    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    “Well then...” That was a lot to unpack. Nip’s situation must be pretty bad back home for him to prefer this. Still, best not to press him. He wanted to be a friend, not an interrogator. If he handled this well, Nip might not even walk out on him. Celeste couldn’t help but wonder, though. Knew...

    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    Wow, Nip really preferred to be here? That was no small hint as to the state of his world. Anyone from a nice world wou- I don’t want to be here. I don’t want to be here. Can’t we just be done already so I can go home? Celeste forced a smile. “Ah. That’s... nice. I’m glad you’re happy here...

    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    Oh, Nips reasons for leaving were... complicated? That sounded like code for ‘I don’t want to wall you this.’ Did he mess up? Oh gosh, did he make Nip uncomfortable? Is this why people kept walking out of the middle of conversations with him? “Oh. Well, whatever the reasons were, I hope it...

    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    Perfect. Sounded like he was more or less correct... Some of the things Nip had said seemed odd, though. Did he really have to worry that much about invaders? “Oh, neat. I suppose Tempest is one of the icy ninetales? Funny, I’d never seen any like them before coming here, but now I’ve hardly...

    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    Hmm, another person giving him what felt like a knot of words to unravel. It seemed simpler than what Cuicatl had said, at least. He was sure he could figure it out. So, the place where Nip had been staying was not a place he’d call home. He didn’t like it there. Hmm... If that was the case, he...

    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    That put the size of Nip’s home at around... 50 people? Smaller even than Celeste’s home. “Huh. That’s definitely small. Treasure Town... Well, it’s larger than anything I’ve known, too. My home was somewhere between yours and Treasure Town. Destiny Village, though... Well, it’s certainly no...

    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    “I was trying to get my bearing in Destiny Village, but it’s... busier than any place I’ve been before. Once I worked my way out to the outskirts, I decided I could use some space.” He took a deep breath. “I’ve been feeling on edge for... well, reasons.” He figured Nip would assume what he...

    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    Celeste needed a break. Something had been nagging at the back of his ming since his chat with Icetales and Vix, and he was hoping a walk would help get it out of his head. He smelled someone. Were there ferals so close to the outskirts of Destiny Village? Oh, it was Nip. Nip was nice. “Nip...

    Reviewed PWCH It’s ~600 words, covering six characters from. the beginning of the fic until now. However you don’t it, it probably comes out to 6 blecs, plus the bonus. Hopefully it’s actually a good review.

    Pokémon Places We Call Home

    So, it’s been a solid month 3 months(?) since I got all caught up here, maybe it’s about time I stopped putting off that review. I’m going to go character by character instead of chapter by chapter because that’s just how I tend to think of stories. (Thank you to based xenforo for saving the...

    Celeste laughed. The excitement from his friends was contagious. “I’m looking forward to it.” <><><><><>

    Pokemon Square - Whiscash Lake

    Some complications... that’s what those papers were about, it seemed. “Oh well. Temporary setbacks, I suppose? I’m looking forward to it. Something makes me think this will be a more interesting group to party with than the people I know from back home.”

    Celeste smiled for real and nodded. “Yes. I’d like that very much.”

    Pokemon Square - Whiscash Lake

    Celeste laughed a humourless laugh. “You don’t have to worry about me, you know. I wasn’t old enough to even know what happened to me back then. I’ve spent the rest of my life since then safe and comfortable in a privileged position in a nice town. Your problems are much more... significant.”

    Pokemon Square - Whiscash Lake

    “That’s why I’m here, really. I could hurl myself off a cliff and go back home anytime, but... I feel like I have to be here. I have a duty to perform here.” I don’t want to be here. He’d known that already, at least on some level... but admitting it felt different. He had always told himself...

    Pokemon Square - Whiscash Lake

    “Oh my. That’s quite a story. I am glad that it resolved itself in your favour. Glad you’re here with us.” Should he say it? Would it sound like he was trying to one-up Icetales? He didn’t want that. Oh? Vix just asked him. That simplified things. “Well, I’ve had a... well, not exactly a...

    [Nazo > Team Spectrum] Err, does anyone know who this “Pop” is. They sound like... quite the oddball.

    Pokemon Square - Whiscash Lake

    Celeste laughed. “Only your second time? This is my first time being outside my home, much less becoming involved in heroics. I’ve always been anchored at home. Now... I’m floating adrift. I’m glad I’ve got friends here to keep me sane. Otherwise I’d have long since snapped.” Celeste relaxed...

    Pokemon Square - Whiscash Lake

    “Huh. I’ve never really though to map the night skies before. I know it’s been done, or at least that there’s some stars that get used for navigation, but I’d never deigned to take it on myself. I suppose I’d always been more of a consumer of writing than a creator of it.” He stopped to muse...
