  • Our "Weird and Wonderful" one-shot contest is now underway! Pokémon are strange and magical creatures, and for our writing contest this year, we want to see you higlight some of their oddest abilities and features! From stories about luxray thieves using X-ray vision to scope out targets to those about trainers bewitching opponents with their stantlers' mystic antlers, any sort of fic featuring a pokémon's unusual lore is welcome! Entries are due at 11:59 PM July 13th UTC.

    Pokémon Just a Normal Day

    Hi, thanks for the review and glad you enjoyed it. Yeah I can see how it can be confusing but to clarify, this is talking about pain. It's something that she's been quite literally carrying and feeling for most of her life so pain is a 'familiar' to her. I might add a word or two to clarify...

    Pokémon Just a Normal Day

    Hiya! Thanks for the review! The object's a tablet actually. I should probably clarify that a bit more. And the guy is actually talking about Perry here, rather than a starter mon. Yup, both vanished. The Pokémon's an Alakazam and the human just used it to teleport. He's got perfect maxed out...

    Pokémon Just a Normal Day

    Alrighty, finally got the time to reply to this. Nope. While there is technically a time skip between Crude and this scene. June has only just woken up at the end of chapter 2. So no random mysterious chapter in between. The 'her' June is referring is actually referencing someone of his past...

    Pokémon Just a Normal Day

    I can kinda see your point if you mostly focused on the games but a decent amount of that could just be chalked up to game mechanics or Game freak being lazy to implement some kind of trust system. 'cause in the anime. Wild Pokémon don't immediately become friendly if they're captured, same...

    Pokémon Just a Normal Day

    Hello, a bit late but I'm no longer dead from my sickness so... The whole people turning into Pokémon is actually from a bunch of Pokédex entries and stuff. Y'know, the ghost-types entries, that 'Kid wakes up as Kadabra' entry and I even took a bit of inspiration from the anime when Ash became...

    Pokémon Just a Normal Day

    June and his brothers' relationship are based around my own and we're a little different, but typically in Chinese culture, siblings refer to each other as (Their Name-Big bro or Little Bro) kinda like Japanese honorific where one would say June-nii or Ane-Otoutou except you know, Chinese...

    Pokémon Just a Normal Day

    Hi there, @133TFR33k. Thanks for your review! To be fair, that finite amount does still amount to about a dozen different choices and not to mention, our monkey really loves familiarity and it'd make sense that June would fall back to what is familiar and what isn't. Lol yeah, he was mostly...

    Pokémon Just a Normal Day

    Hi, thanks for the reviews, guys! @canisaries Yeah, my summary's pretty ass. I'm not very good at summarising things and I guess it shows. I'll try and implement some of your advise when I get the time to change my summary. The whole freakout's length is quite intentional. The reason for it...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 6: The Other Siblings

    As the evening sun began to set, the sky above became a beautiful mesh of red and orange. Winds blew against the soft grass, the gentle breeze caressing the Pokémon ranger as Neo took in the fresh air. The Minun’s eyes were firm and attentive as he scanned the land below him. A beautiful sea of...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 5 : Wrathful Betrayal

    His friend was shaken. It had been a long time since Rower had seen Perry tremble in such fear. The way his pupils had shrunken to mere pinpricks, how his body quivered and curled into itself like a young chick huddling underneath a mother’s plumage, how his talons and muscles were tensed up as...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 4: The Past and Tonight

    Special Thanks to Sindrella for beta-ing this! *** The sunlight had shone onto the dense grove of trees, having cast short shadows below them. A small Pidgey had perched on a tree branch, his head tilting to the left and gazing at the human under him. The human was about eight times his...

    Major thanks to SparklingEspeon and The Silver Tux for beta-ing this chapter In the dead of the night, the full moon shone brilliantly on the lush forest below. Trees towered over the young and fine saplings beneath them. Their leaves rustled in the midnight breeze, producing a gentle song...

    Hey there, Epsy and Bench. Hope you two are having a swell day. A bit late on the reply for Bench. (Busy with exams and all that) But here I am! Take care, you two. Have a great rest of your day!

    Pokémon Just a Normal Day

    G'day, Bench! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Things are gonna get pretty hectic in the future and I'm happy to see that you're joining me on this crazy adventure. The number 679 refers to Briggs being the 679th Champion and all will be explained in the future. It was very much intentional, it was...

    Pokémon Just a Normal Day

    Hi there! Glad you enjoyed the read and I loved how you feel about three main brothers' characters. I mainly threw some of my and my own brothers' personalities, mix them in a cup and removed the filter which is why they can seem likable to some and downright annoying to others. Loving the way...

    Hi Ambyssin, and thanks for the feedback! Now this is something that I'll take into consideration. (I was hoping for someone to take my story apart and tell me what I can do better) Take care and have a good day!

    I'm glad you enjoyed it, Pano! And I enjoyed our time in Mafia too. There are definitely gonna be a lot of surprises and many things I'm excited for. And I hope you'll be as excited as I am for them. I love to see how all of you will react to the crazy things I've planned for this series. I...

    I'm glad you enjoyed it, kint and a kind hello to you too! I'm definitely enjoying my time here though I'm still trying to overcome my social anxiety in talking with the community. (which I think I'm making decent progress with) And yes, I understand there's a ton of things to be answered but...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 2: Into The Unknown

    Special thanks to Sindrella for beta-ing this! *** Honestly, June had no clue what he was expecting to see. If someone were to ask him what came to his mind when he thought of Professor Oak and his lab, he’d likely say the three Kanto starters, maybe some Sci-fi-esque tech or whatever sciency...

    Pokémon Just a Normal Day

    Thanks for the review and the advice, I'm glad you enjoyed it (you too, Ariel!). I'll be sure to integrate some of them in my writing. The self-insert is actually June, sorry if that's not clear. I'm not very good at writing in first person, which is kinda why June was the focus for most of the...
