Nate stopped glaring death at Rocky long enough to laugh. Rocky tugged sheepishly at an ear, but he was smiling, too. Rocky might be too nervous to snicker at Soda, but Nate had no such reservation, and cackled until he was wheezing. Nate grinned at Owen. "Okay, that," he said, "was pretty...

God, more of this shit. Nate sat and fumed, wanting to point out that all this drama was literally what Soda said he wanted, as Diyem had pointed out like two fucking seconds ago, and it was a fucking waste of time, it wasn't like they could trust one word out of this shithead any more than they...

"Oh," Nate said flatly. Next to him Rocky was tense and ramrod-straight, like he hoped he wouldn't be noticed if he didn't move. "So the 'real' you's actually chilling up on the moon. That it?"

And once again they were back to arguing about whether Soda was a good guy or not, like it made even a shred of difference. Who gave a fuck if he wanted to kill people or not? He seemed perfectly happy to do it if it got him what he wanted, and it wouldn't matter to nobody who died and then...

I've added all the story links that I've seen so far--if you've posted your story somewhere, please let me know so I can add links to the results posts! I've also edited in some author interviews. We'll also be seeing the in-depth interviews with our winners starting soon; this weekend, probably!

"A core, or Maple, or something else..." Nate sighed. "Yeah. Sounds like my favorite kind of plan. Any way we can get at least a little better picture of the situation before we go? Is what a Dark Matter's voidlands is like at all related to the world they come from, anything like that?"...

"Okaaaay..." Nate started to tug at his gills but stopped with a wince. "I'll take your word for it on you being able to do that. You're the fucking expert and all. But what're we supposed to do once we get there? I mean, I ain't asked too much about what happened to everybody who went for a...

Nate nodded. "Yeah. I got a feeling there's another player here. At least one. Maybe more."

"Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Ain't nobody's wrong for not having noticed, I'm saying the situation's fucked, because if it wasn't somebody would have. And yeah, exactly. Why was Soda the only one to figure it out? When a fucking reformed-Eterna Dark Matter, an actual arceus, a Life Necrozma...

"Nah, that sounds more like your bag. I'm asking because this shit seems fishy to me, and if there's even more wild shit going on here, I'd kind of like to know about it."

"That shoulda had other effects people'd have noticed, though, right? Like people not being able to read her mind and shit, same's happened with Shield and them when they had Gio, uh, Mewtwo's distortion devices on them."

"Okay, okay. Back it up a second," Nate said. "So supposedly Maple has an entire fucking universe stuck inside her, including, like, another fucking Tree of Life, another Dark Matter, whatever. Let's go back to how in the fuck nobody managed to fucking notice, over, what, like thousands of...

Rocky looked nervously between Koa and an angry Vix, and Mudkip on the floor next to him. He shrank slightly, flames banked to glowing embers."Soda wanted Cola to go away with him before, too. He was talking about killing gods and stuff and wouldn't promise that Cola wouldn't get hurt." Mudkip...

The somber quiet in the room wasn't enough to suppress Nate and Rocky's bickering, but it at least pushed it into the realm of vicious whispers. "Maybe you shouldn't have made fun of Diyem," Rocky said. "That was pretty dumb." "I wasn't making fun of Diyem, for fuck's sake. Maybe if you'd...

"Whine-Yelp" by canisaries ...when suddenly, a loud BANG split the air! He froze. He recognized that bang. It was the bang of that terrible, deadly human weapon - the gun. And just a second later, the purpose of that gunshot became clear. Right in front of him, as if served by a mother to her...

"A Way to Reunite" by IFBench Again, it taunts you. The shimmering pool that first led you into that world of only Pokemon. That entryway that had led you to an adventure of a lifetime. The portal that led you to meet Vernir, Emolga, Dunsparce, Virizion, Umbreon, Espeon, Hydreigon, and so many...

"A Trainer's Love" by Sinderella Odette’s finger roved over the chart posted on the wall of the classroom. It was the list of all the contenders in the duos and trios category. Down...down...down… Her finger landed on the familiar names she was looking for. A Trainer’s Love Presenters...

"Swamping Ground" by Flyg0n Warm, thick mud cocooned Marshtomp up to his neck. He twitched his two tail fins restlessly, flexing his arms as he peered from his spot in a marsh, scanning the area for trainers. He narrowed his eyes, then sighed, blowing a thick mud bubble. Despite sticking near a...

"A Song of Sorrow" by Sparkfire “Do you remember? All those years ago, when we first met? I was conked out on the beach, and you were looking down at me. You seemed so scared!” There was hearty laughter. “We immediately formed a close bond with each other. We were almost inseparable from day...

"Small Beginnings" by Panoramic_Vacuum I catch myself with my tongue poking from the corner of my mouth. Again. I always make some kind of funny face when I'm concentrating, and splicing wires is no exception. "One last twist and… whew!" Leaning back, I wipe my hand under the brim of my...
