Seventh Anniversary Drabble Bingo

It's time for another round of our most popular anniversary event: Drabble Bingo! The premise is simple: request a bingo card, optionally specify a theme, and receive nine prompts in return. You can ask for pretty much any theme for your prompts: perhaps you'd like some hurt/comfort prompts, or prompts about Zoroark. Here's an example of what a card of PMD-related prompts might look like:


Lost MemoriesLively TownTrust Your Partner
The Best TreasureCalamityStairs?!
Low IQNo Way OutVoice of Life

Once you've got your card, it's time to get to work filling it out! Write a drabble for any three prompts vertically, diagonally, or horizontally to score a bingo, and you qualify to claim a forum compaion. Just link to where you've posted your prompt fills to claim your prize! If you're feeling ambitious, you could instead complete four prompts for a four-corners win.

You can complete this challenge using the strict definition of "drabble" (exactly 100 words), but that's not required for this event: any fill of at least one hundred words counts as a drabble. Go as long as you like! Prefer visual art to writing? Three sketches based on your prompts will qualify you for a bingo as well!

If you absolutely hate the prompts you get after making your request, you may ask for one reroll. I'll provide you with a new card, but that'll be the one you're stuck with--no further rerolls will be given.

You have until the end of the anniversary (countdown here) to complete your fills and claim your bingo. Note that you get a forum companion if you complete either the reviewing event or drabble bingo--completing both won't net you two!

Many thanks to Goolix, rimly, and wildboots for their help putting together Bingo cards this year! You're a huge help!

Okay, here we go.
For this year, I'm gonna go for something set in PMD. Could write a battle where the power of friendship shines through and that could trigger either an evolution or Mega-Evolution.

Here I am for another year of drabbles. I asked for Paldea themed drabbles, then for Arven themed ones, this year the logical conclusion is "Area Zero"
(I'm very predictable)

This may be an unusual and maybe hard to explain theme, but I'd like a bingo card themed around Pokemon types. Predominantly existing ones, of course, but I won't protest a cheeky fake type prompt in there - I'm sure I can make it work. I'd like for the prompts to imply something about the Pokemon of that type, like dragons being proud and hard to train or fire types being hot to the touch. It can be surface level, but something less obvious is also good. Thanks!

I’ll give this a try, I’ve been wanting an excuse to write more short form stuff. I’ll just stick to PMD.

Ah, what the heck. I had fun with this one last year, I think I'd like to try it again this one.

Like last time, no PMD please, but otherwise I don't have a particular theme in mind. ^^
