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!

Mightyena tipped her head. "Somebody would have noticed if one of the boats was gone, wouldn't they?" Mightyena asked, tipping her head. "Sure, boat, teleport, whatever ring thing brought us here in the first place," Nate said dismissively. "So he got sick of this place's shit and fucked off. I...

[[ Awww, Mightyena doesn't have to go zero for two on getting her feelings across to Nate. <3 ]] Nate waved the energy question away impatiently. "You know, pokémon energy. The same thing that powers attacks and whatever. Infinity energy, whatever they call it. But what," he gave Mightyena an...

[[ why hello there, May's Issues :copyka: ]] For a second, Nate could only stare at the girl. (Actually a girl this time, right? God, he didn't need a repeat of the fucking boat adventure.) How the hell...? There had to be some kind of tell, right? There were all sorts of tricks for this sort...

"What?" Nate was thrown, but only for a moment. Was he wearing something, somehow, that would have given his pokémon away? He didn't have their pokéballs, obviously, but... Hold on. Hold on, did she fucking recognize him? Is that how she'd guessed his team? Goddammit. "Cute parlor trick," Nate...

"My world?" Fucking lovely. It was one of the multiverse nuts. Nate wished he could tell Mightyena not to get her hopes up. She was going to be crushed. Nate scowled and crossed his arms. "I mean, yeah, nobody can speak pokémon anywhere I know of. Aside from a few wackjobs, cult leaders, those...

[[ plot twist, Nate learns that the only reason he can't talk to his pokémon is because he didn't pay attention in school and then feels horribly guilty about it ]] "No, they can't!" Mightyena said, her tail twitching back and forth as the shock began to wear off. "I mean they can't-can't! They...

Mightyena stopped wagging, her ears standing straight up. "Why did you answer me?" she asked the human. "You can tell what I'm saying?"

Mightyena jogged on ahead of Nate, now and again circling back to check on him before sprinting off again, constantly in motion. Nate was only hoping he'd survive at a walking pace, but he was glad There were stories about legendary pokémon all over the fucking island, so Nate had picked one...
