    Chapter 16: Eternal Meadow Carkol Express Burhalla Here we were, on the Carkol Express, in all its rickety glory. How long had it been since I was last on a train? Pretty sure the last time was right when they were first introduced. What had it been… two years ago now? Around the same...

    Chapter 15: The Monster Overcast Village Forest Saltriv As we exited the Illusory Grotto, I couldn't help but worry about Gen. He looked really shaken up from being in a copy of the blanket fort mystery dungeon. More than usual, anyways. I started to turn and check up on him, when I caught a...

    Chapter 14: A Great Loss Saltriv's Home Saltriv In, and out. In, and out. Deep breaths, feel the sunlight on my leaf. Let it revitalize and energize me. The sunlight from my room's skylight never felt so good. We had made it out of the blanket fort. We were safe. We were safe. "Are you all...

    Chapter 13: The Worst of Times Gen "Gen! It's almost time for school!" I hopped out of bed, and got dressed. Same old bed, same old dresser, same old bookshelf. It was so good to be home at last. I made my way down the hallway to the kitchen, and everything was just as I remembered it. Were...

    Chapter 12: The Best of Times Saltriv's Home Gen As I walked into Saltriv's room, I instantly saw how different it was from how I'd remembered it this morning. There were a lot more pillows and blankets in here than before. There was a whole pile of them heaped up near the beds that was...

    Chapter 11: Tense Words Carkol Express Acacia I don't think I ever could get used to riding the Carkol Express. Every few seconds, the carriage we were in would jolt one way or another. The bumpy ride was so shaky, it felt like the whole train would fall apart at any moment. The small...

    Chapter 10: Preparations and Consolations Saltriv's Home Gen I opened my eyes, as I felt something plantlike wiggle me. Once my vision cleared, I saw Saltriv standing in front of me, shaking me with a vine. I'm still here. I'm still an Oshawott. I wiped away the tears forming around my...

    Chapter 5: All Together Now Overcast Village PNS-NT I floated through the fog, away from the Top Plaza. The sun was almost set. There’d certainly be no customers back at the old recyclin’ shop at this time. No need to take a gander at it before heading home. I took a sharp right down the...

    Thank you for the review! The scene at the start of chapter 3 is the way it is for reasons I won't spoil, but will make sense later. It wouldn't quite work to the same effect with a different POV style. I'll try to edit in that memory at some point. I really see what you mean with the reunion...

    Thank you so much! The first chapter was actually Kingdom Hearts inspired! I'll try to fix those issues at some point.

    Every story has at least two sides. A human named Gen wakes up as an Oshawott, retaining all his memories. After meeting a Chikorita and a Charmander, he makes a hasty decision, and lies that he is an amnesiac and not a human. As he journeys with the two, he ensnares himself in his own web of...
