Nate ordered a beer to go with his food, and Rocky took a soda as usual. Nate tried to ignore the pokémon that were still taking a blatant interest in their table but couldn't help hunching over in his seat a bit. He wished they could have gotten takeout. "Damn, really?" he asked Starr. "I...

"So? It doesn't say anything about a stomach on the sign." Rocky's eyes gleamed. "I'm gonna eat the whole thing! I bet I could eat two." "All right," Nate said with a laugh. "Think I'm gonna go for something normal-sized. Don't really want to feel like I could go for a swim in my dinner if I...

Nate's eyes started watering the moment Starr opened the door. Holy hell. People liked their spice around here. Starr said the team had come here before? He must have missed that one. Nate was sure he'd remember a place that made his eyes sting just from standing in the lobby. And he was doubly...

Hello! For your Smeargle Swap, I chose to draw Espurr's little adventure in Foreboding Forest. I loved how creepy and unnatural you made the foggy dungeon feel, and the ominous sense of how it might tie in with what Espurr had had to deal with when she was running from the beheeyem. It was...

"That sounds nice!" Rocky said, his eyes gleaming. Ben's description made him think of misty mountains and calm oceans, deep forests and the dark of unknown dungeons. "And going to look for a lost continent... It's like something out of a storybook!" "You think so, huh?" Nate asked. "Didn't...

"Oh," Rocky said. "That sounds lonely." Nate had to agree, privately. Seems like everything they said to the arcanine just made the guy more depressed, damn. "At least you have your friends here, though," Rocky went on. "And... maybe there's something that's different in this Cibus that you'd...

Ah. Blacklight shit. Not really surprising. Well, the gardevoir was a weird one, that was for sure. That sure wasn't the answer Rocky'd been looking for to his question about familiars, though. Ben was right, it *would* be better to make a clean break. Exactly the opposite of what Rocky wanted...

Rocky flopped down in the sand on the far side of Ben with his arms beneath his head, looking out over the waves. He laughed heartily at Ben's story. "That does sound funny! I bet he had a real silly look on his face when he realized what he'd done." Nate was thoughtful. As emotional as paint...

Rocky smirked. "Marshtomp doesn't like it when people use his name." "Oh, for fuck's--it's Nate." "His real name." "Anyway," Nate said. There weren't many things that sounded less pleasant right now than trying to hang on while an arcanine went top speed across the beach. "You two can go for...

Enjoying some fucking peace, for once, was what Nate dearly wanted to say, but no, it wasn't the arcanine's fault. Instead he wafted as much displeasure through the psychic link at Rocky as he could manage. As usual, the familiar ignored him. "Oh, Marshtomp likes to stare at the ocean and be...

"Oh, I know you're not really from Cibus," Rocky said, beaming. "Diyem must have brought you from somewhere, just like everybody else. Ooh! But you must have done so many cool things over there. What was your favorite part? Can you show off one of your special moves? I'm Rocky, by the way. And...

The beach was actually kind of nice these days. A bit more sun, which brightened up even the bare rocks along the coast. And it was warm enough now that the cold wind coming off the water felt more refreshing than cutting. Even the water itself didn't feel quite so freezing. Nate ventured in...

Rocky jumped up and down, pumping his fists in the air while he whooped louder than anybody. On the ground near his feet, Nate grunted and slowly raised his face out of the dirt, squinting through swollen eyes. "We won! We won we won we won!" Rocky bounced in an ecstatic circle. "Mhhgfckr...

Smeargle Swap Do you love getting fanart for your stories? Do you love brightening other authors' days? Then Smeargle Swap is the event for you! Similar to how Catnip Circle is a review swap, Smeargle Swap is a fanart swap. How it works is simple: submit a story you'd like someone to make art...

Welcome to the forums! It's always fun to see another story crop up. A boarding-school-style Pokémon fic focusing on a trainer school seems like a fun idea--honestly, I don't know why I've seen so few trainer school fics over the years, when it fits so well with the canon. And it sounds like...

Welcome to the forums! Glad to have you with us. Platinum rewrite sounds like just the thing with BDSP and Legends: Arceus coming out soon. Hope you're able to write more of it; feel free to ask for help or encouragement here or on the Discord if you're feeling stuck! May you find many fics to...

Nate stood with arms crossed near the back of the group as usual. He wished he could be up in the stands, getting a good view of the fight. It was going to be hard to see anything interesting from the thick of things; turned out getting punched in the face wasn't great for appreciating any sort...

Wwwell I won't be able to claim any of my writing/reviews done over the past couple months until like three hours from now, so I guess just put me down for like 15 hours of writing/editing this round.
