This is an old one-shot that was written in late 2017 for a contest on Serebii focusing on platonic relationships. If you're reading this for the blitz, please know that I don't consider this representative of my current writing abilities. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy!

This is a little one-shot I wrote a while back but never posted over here. It's a slice of life focusing on a woman and her monstrous roommates and how they all try to cope with a big change in their lives--not the kind of thing I often publish! I hope you enjoy.

Author's note: Hello, all! This story was originally written in 2012, then revised fairly significantly in 2020 and posted here. I got some good feedback on that one, and have been working on more extensive revisions on and off since. This, finally, is version three.
I would still appreciate...
Hey everyone, am here bringing one of the newest stories I have written Elsewhere. This time featuring best pseudo, Dragonite Goodra Tyranitar Salamence!.
This was originally written for PokéCommunity as a contest entry under the prompt "contentment / frustration”. I kinda sorta picked...
It is Mewtwo. It is strong. It is stronger.
Stronger
Mewtwo leaps into the air with a surge of energy that thrums and sings around it, power rolling off its body in waves like it's never been allowed to feel before. The smoldering wreckage falls away beneath it and it never looks back...
Without a Master
One-shot / 8.8k words / Rated T for light violence & frequent swearing

"Are you kidding? This doesn't even cover rent." Tetsuya's eyes darted between the wad of cash in his hand and the man who had handed it to him—Kazuma, Team Rocket's West Olivine branch manager.
"I...
The cliffs over Sinnoh Route 213 have been overrun with a pernicious breed of pest: shiny hunters. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and that means Sonny has a lot of painting to do.

You are a leafeon. The warm spring breeze trickles over your cream-colored fur and tickles your tall leafy ears. You push your oak brown paws into the cool dirt below as you try to find a comfortable place to lie down. Tufts of grass cushion you as you finally find the perfect spot. The familiar...
Dark-Clothed Small Human:
I am trapped. Alone.
My siblings are gone. They were put into ice. We did not do what they wanted us to, so now they want to freeze us. I am the last one they need to freeze. Once the machine is ready, I will be frozen… indefinitely.
Indefinitely is an odd word. I...
Again, it taunts you.
The shimmering pool that first led you into that world of only Pokemon. That entryway that had led you to an adventure of a lifetime. The portal that led you to meet Vernir, Emolga, Dunsparce, Virizion, Umbreon, Espeon, Hydreigon, and so many others that you held dear to...
A collection of all my one-shots, drabbles and related art done for contests, events or just for fun, complied into a single thread for convenience sake. All stories are (currently) Pokémon Mystery Dungeon focused and may contain spoilers for all games.

Shadows Cast by Time
these are my bingo fills from the TR bingo event! my prompt was "moments from pokémon history," and negrek gave me an excellent card to work with:
so far i only have one complete, but i'll post them as i finish them! the content warnings are posted at the top of each...
Author's Note: Wow, I've really been pumping out quite a few one-shots in the past two months. Since I've rediscovered my love for writing, I've been cycling through different ideas for short stories, and with this one, I wanted to write something a bit more experimental in nature. I can't give...
This is a one-shot I wrote in 2016, which won first place in the Worlds Collide contest on the Serebii.net forums. It was very much written simply to write something for the contest, I wasn't super-happy with it, and it's still a pretty ridiculous premise that's not being explored all that...
Summary: He waits a full sun cycle, but his human does not move. (One-shot.)
Rating: PG (Includes a curse word. Deals with death, grief, and decomposition.)
I am open to constructive feedback! I'm already aware of a few areas where I need to make small changes--simply haven't gotten to it...
Summary: We have few facts about this place, all strange: the edges of the cave system are expanding, and no one who has entered has returned. But a creeping vine always moves towards the light. "You're changing too, aren't you."

The Best Game
Morph Revenge II is Blue's favorite game. Other nine-year-olds might be drawn to Super Chopstar Planet's brighter graphics, or Porykart Netracer '95's multiplayer with more options and that one cool mode where you can blow up the other drivers, but when Red comes over it's always...
Hello! I decided to bash out a quick 2k word story based on an idea I had about a couple of the side characters in The Curious and the Shiny! I thought I'd post it separately from that thread since it focuses on a minor character that's very non-essential to the story. Reading TCATS up to The...
So, this was originally intended to be a 'short' in my Sword n' Shield Shorts collection, but it got a little out of hand...
Also contains spoilers for Pokemon Sword/Shield, I guess.

Author’s Notes: Hey, Neb here! It's nice to join a new forum, and to start with, I thought I'd bring one of my recent one-shots here. This takes place in a universe of fics called The Manifold Curiosity, where there are different fics that standalone from each other in story, but overlap in some...
