    Pokémon Free to a Loving Home (2023 contest one-shot)

    Glad you liked it. I was sorta aware of the second-person risks and still somehow underestimated the effort it'd need on my part. XP The idea was that, in the lab, their thinking is more mechanical. A sort of binary "black and white," so when something doesn't fit their parameters, it causes...
