"Similar usefulness, huh?" Nate scowled at the map Pop had drawn up. "I mean, what, it looks like you got a Shadow thing, and a Divine thing, and an Eterna thing... don't it make the most sense to pick someone who's really good at Radiance shit to go after the Shadow one, and someone with...

Just wanted to say thank you again for drawing this for me! It's just got such gorgeous lighting. I'm always a sucker for sunlight coming in through trees. Mew is so cute here! I'm glad you enjoyed the story--great that the portrayal of Mew here had such an impact! It's always good to hear that...

Oof, I'm so sorry! I thought I'd already welcomed you a while back. I hope you've been enjoying your time on the forums. Love me a good journeyfic, and it sounds like you like exploring a lot of themes I find pretty interesting--and I think many other people around here will, too! Fine taste in...

"You're gonna lose!" Rocky said, grinning, and resumed shoveling curry into his mouth. Soon enough he abandoned his spoon and started going at it with his bare hands. "Rocky, for fuck's sake," Nate said. It wasn't like it mattered, really, whether the food went in Rocky's mouth or anywhere...

Rocky bounded excitedly in his seat as the waiter struggled to find a place to set his curry bowl. The pokémon barely managed to get out of the way before the familiar dug into his meal, shoveling rice and curry into his mouth without any need to chew. Nate looked hurriedly away--the sight of...

"Maybe," Nate said absently. It wasn't a bad idea, but he didn't know that his situation was like most of the other world-hoppers'. Seemed like most of them had got sent off to save the world or the universe or like two universes or whatever the fuck, not babysit some asshole. But it was hard...

Oh, God, it was like counting down to his own execution. Nate tried to tighten his grip on Ben's fur without yanking on it. "Five... four... three.." he began. He barely caught the mischievous gleam in Rocky's before the familiar took off with a whoop, one that could only be genuine delight...

Nate eyed Ben dubiously. What exactly were the odds of him staying up there versus getting flung off at like a thousand miles an hour? Rocky looked up again and nodded, his expression serious. "I will. I... I'd like to meet her." He glanced out over the ocean again, just for a moment. "I'd like...

"I know that," Rocky said, staring down at the tumbled stones that lined the beach. He kicked one away. "I'm not the one who never wants to talk about anything." In the surf-washed silence that followed, Nate sidled closer to Ben. "Look, sorry about that," he said in a low voice. "He's having a...

Rocky watched Ben's sketching with arms crossed over chest, scowling in frustration. "I know that!" he said, one ear flicking. "It's bad to . But people travel between worlds all the time, even if you don't. Not seeing your friends isn't going to stop a Dark Matter from maybe going to a...

"No, not that I know of. But I guess if a bunch of people were getting chucked into the past or the future or whatever, they wouldn't exactly be able to say much about it." Nate shook his head. "Who the fuck knows if it's time travel, anyhow. Don't know that I buy that humans just fucking...

Nate resisted the urge to rub his face. "You can call me Nate. It's my literal, actual name. Seriously. Well"--he made a frustrated gesture--"it's short for my literal, actual name, but that ain't what he's being weird about anyhow." After a moment of thought he added, "That's a good point...

"Who says there's no way to ever see them again?" Rocky said, crossing his arms over his chest. "We know Giovanni traveled to all sorts of worlds, and the God Squad, too! Plus Eien and other eternatus can travel between worlds, and I bet that means us familiars can learn how if we try. Maybe in...

"Shadows... can go rogue?" Rocky asked, ears standing up straight in alarm. But the look he sent Nate was, still, ignored. "That's fair. I guess Diyem could've sent people home anytime if he didn't like what they were up to, unless maybe they did something really crazy, like hijack some unown...

"A new type introduced?" Nate asked. "How does that even work? I mean, they only recognized the fairy type pretty recently in my world, too, but it was always there. The nerds who classify shit just couldn't tell it apart properly. Nobody gained any new powers or nothing when they officially...

"Ah, standing in the back..." Nate said, a wistful smile on his face. "That tracks." "Marshtomp would like to stay in the back, too," Rocky told Ben. "He likes bossing people around more than fighting." Nate ignored him. So Ben had been off roaming the world with his friends, doing good deeds...

"I guess," Nate said. "The only legends I've ever met in my world have been complete dicks, so I think I'd take my chance with Rocket, personally." He smirked bitterly before spearing another piece of fish. "Because of one of them that, yeah, some other worldjumping adventure. Or timejumping, I...

Nate's dinner showed up before everybody else's. Smelled damn delicious, too. He hesitated, uncertain. Was he supposed to wait for everybody else to get their stuff, or...? Eh, fuck it. Starr was probably going to scarf her curry down in like two seconds when it came, so he needed to eat fast...

"Aww." Rocky sat back, his eyes dimming. "It's really good, though..." "I mean, humans don't look that weird," Nate said. "They're practically like infernape, right? Just usually taller and, like, shorter arms. No fire. The face is kinda different. That's about it." Rocky giggled. "Ben called...

"I will," Rocky said. He sighed loudly. "But I won't have anybody to see it with." God, not this shit again. The insane curry bowl couldn't show up fast enough; at least that would distract him. "So it's gonna be back to traveling around Johto for you soon, huh?" Nate said. "But I guess from...
