    Hey, Canis! Thanks a ton for the review! I'm glad you enjoyed it, even if it's not your cup of tea! I'll try to answer a few questions. An overarching thought, though, is that the version of the story being posted specifically to Thousand Roads comes with a big preface at the front. On FFN and...

    Threadmarks: Ch. 7: Therapy - All Time Low

    Chapter 7 Therapy - All Time Low Mike had no idea what to do next. He spent the night before sitting in the Striaton Center cafeteria, emotionally spent, pouring over his Pokédex and the internet for any help with raising a Nidoran. He had fixated on video after video but could tell...

    Thanks for the catnip, Wind! I'm glad you enjoyed Mike and Scott's voices and the worldbuilding! Those were honestly the two things I worked on hardest (unique voices and subtle worldbuilding), and I'm glad that they both came across! Ch. 1 is in a state where I'm unwilling to make dramatic...

    Threadmarks: Ch. 6: Baby (Tenacious D)

    Chapter 6 Baby (Tenacious D) Mike had to be led by Justin all the way back to camp. His head and gut swam with nausea long after the visual effects of his Litwick’s Confuse Ray had faded. He stumbled over candy canes— no, roots, on more than one occasion. Every time he moved his head, it felt...

    Thank you so much, Miju! That review definitely made my day. I'm glad that I've struck on an original premise, and that the execution so far is at least still enjoyable despite its flaws! I definitely had the aim of blending humor and drama in a very life-like, conversational way, so it seems...

    Thanks again, WildBoots! I've spent way too long dinking around with Ch. 2 - to the point where I even renamed the damn thing. I wanna get my thoughts on your thoughts out the door before I fall asleep and forget them all again 🙃

    Threadmarks: Ch. 5: Run, Rabbit, Run (With the Glenn Miller Orchestra)

    Chapter 5: Run, Rabbit, Run (With the Glenn Miller Orchestra) Leaving Accumula felt harder than getting there in the first place. Mike had spent a few days lingering and ‘picking on’ trainers, as Bianca had once accused him. He would while away his mornings and evenings in the Center’s lobby...

    Threadmarks: Ch. 4: Thnks fr th Mmrs

    Chapter 4: Thnks fr th Mmrs Mike had an incredibly hard time waking up. Robin, who had been left out on her leash to wander, managed to make her way into the tent with him. She half-dozed next to his head, clutching a square of folded paper, her flame burning strong - yet unnaturally dim...

    Threadmarks: Ch. 3: The Long and Winding Road

    Chapter 3: The Long and Winding Road Mike was the only trainer from his group that was asked to stay for an additional day. The complications of caring for a Litwick were apparently enough to warrant a one-on-one session. With Vincent. The resident Chandelure, and patriarch to the lab’s...
