    Pokémon the envy of eden

    Oof, this one's Amara, preparing for retroactive heartbreak. Love the mythology throughline here, though it's interesting you suggest her father's human told him this story - it definitely sounds like a myth the Zebstrika would come up with, centered around them. The way that it creates a...

    Dave rolled his eyes hard. "Oh, please. There are no gods. They evolved hands to grasp things, like anything else with hands. Humans had hands before they invented tools, Jesus. But for the record, they can use very primitive tools - like, grab a rock to hit something with. Thing is so can...

    Dave sipped his beer as he listened. "Mmmm. Yeah, in my world they say there's a critical period where you have to learn language, and if you don't you probably won't ever be able to learn it properly. But most of the time it turns out the famous cases were also physically abused, or disabled...

    Pokémon the envy of eden

    Chapter three time! I really enjoy the POV details here, Carnel unsure how tall most humans are supposed to be, their poor eyesight given they live in a cave. Gives it a lot of immediate flavor. I also like how Carnel's main concern is this migration and the environments that they're used to...

    Dave listened to Curio with interest, raising an eyebrow at the example of her speech, rolling his eyes at the great white goat in the sky reference. "Huh. So you're not born sapient but can become so, and that's a recent thing? How recent are we talking? Seem like a mutation that spread...

    Dave tilted his head. "Well, not so much with the decimating an entire town, over in my universe. I get the sense Pokémon tend to be not only smarter but also more powerful here and some other worlds than they are in mine. Where I'm from they're broadly competitive, like fighting each other...

    "I mean, even if I carried pictures with me, don't exactly have them here." Dave shrugged. "There were eight of them and we split them between us. My daughter's Jean. Part Vul-- Ninetales. She's a big ball of upbeat energy, most of the time. Loves cartoons and games and people. Technically she...

    Dave stared at Curio. "Oh, shit. Fuck." He shuddered, looking away, and took a swig of his beer. "Well," he said finally as he put the glass down. "I don't know about the cybernetics part, bit before that was a thing. But torture and kidnapping masquerading as science is kind of the reason...

    "Huh. Yeah, that's fucked. Somebody skipped the ethics board." Maybe he'd seen the arm when they'd first gathered? He wondered what it'd be like to lose a limb, get used to it, and then be returned to a body that has it again. Hold on, she never wanted one to begin with? "Wait, how'd you lose...

    Dave scowled. Her hostility was nothing new after every reporter and nosy passerby at the time, but still exasperating. "Viable as in able to live, contrast the nonviable embryos that died in the first couple weeks. Pay attention." He took a gulp of his drink. "Look, we never meant to make any...

    Dave waved a paw. "Nah, we've got open scientific databases of hypothetical genome sequences and molecular printers to synthesize the DNA strands. Completely artificial. No Pokémon were harmed, et cetera. We just..." He let out a long, exhausted sigh, chugged down the rest of the glass. "Okay...

    "Human. I mean, you really can't fucking tell in here. I guess the answer's no?" Dave took a swig of his drink. "As for combining human and Pokémon genomes, well, ultimately the goal was medical. You know how humans are squishier than Pokémon? Pokémon can heal all kinds of shit that a human...

    Dave raised a skeptical eyebrow-ridge at Curio's response, but left it alone. "Yeah. Genetics. Invented a way to viably combine human and Pokémon genomes. It was pretty fucking genius and then, uh, got derailed." He glanced at Curio. "What kinda world did you come from again? Did you have...

    Dave snort-laughed, for longer than he wanted to. Shit. He might have been a little drunk. Dave blinked at her. "Shit," he muttered. He'd been by when Brisa was unconscious, mostly to see exactly how hard Maple'd fucked all of them over with this Radiance thing, but nobody'd been able to tell...

    "Hah. Yeah." Dave wondered vaguely what Cynthian's worst fears would be. "I got one of the slugs, you know. Knocked it out of a Garchomp. He's in a cage in the Dojo right now. You know they can answer questions? Got any questions for a brainslug?" Dave frowned. He supposed Maple had said...

    "Huh. They can infect us too? Kinda figured we might be immune, what with everything else." He supposed that was a good reason to keep... Squiggly contained for now. He'd gone and bought him a bigger glass cage, stuck some berries in and left him in the Hidden Quarters, but couldn't quite shake...

    "Wait, what." Dave blinked at Curio. "He's..." Diyem. D-M. Dark Matter. Dave giggled. "Seriously?" Later. He could think about that later. "Well, I sniffed out Maple's power level. She could kill us all with her little fucking finger, and also obliquely threatened to do just that if she ever...
