Daniel was standing in his laboratory as he pulled a pokeball out of his backpack. It disappeared as he threw it into the air in front of him, a fintooth appearing in its place. The pokemon, named Cove, was a desaturated purple with white markings and bright blue water along his back. Cove’s orange eyes glanced around curiously as he took in his surroundings.   The trainer’s laboratory was currently filled...

Jackson was standing in a grassy field as a gentle breeze blew across the open landscape. The trainer was currently near Rivertide, the oceanside city still visible in distance. His partner pokemon, Atlas, also stood at his side as per usual.   The trainer took a pokeball out of his bag and then tossed it into the air in front of him. As the red and white ball disappeared a large blastoise took its place, alth...

Jackson was walking down the busy streets of Grovehart with his noctyena following behind him. The trainer didn’t even have to talk about his path as he turned and headed towards a building. The building was large with glass walls and had outcroppings where green plant life grew.   As he pulled the door open Jackson saw his sister, Amber, standing on the other side. She waved him over, saying hello to his po...

Phoenix was standing on a patch of dirt that had been cleared and marked with faded white paint for use as a practice field. Some of the plant life around it was scorched black, undoubtedly from fire type moves. Being that the city of Ethermoor could be seen only a few miles away it wasn’t surprising that people had been using fire type pokemon at the field.   The Ethermoor native was currently at the field ...

Jackson was standing on a training field with his noctowl/mightyena fusion. Although, it wasn’t really a field. Being that they were in the underground city of Thunderdale there weren't really fields like someone might find in Grovehart or Rivertide. Instead, the training area was made from black asphalt with faded white lines. It was lit up by nearby light posts and nearby metal, grungy buildings that surrounded it. Thunderdale was exactly the prettiest or cl...

Jackson and Atlas were now back on a patch of flat, barren terrain on the surface above Thunderdale. After he had last trained with Atlas the pokemon had completely obliterated their wooden dummy. Which, of course Jackson didn’t mind because it just showed how much stronger his pokemon had become. The trainer had immediately started work on a new target device, using his tech skills to try and make something that would withstand the noctyena’s attack. Howeve...

"All right! Good show, girls." Kavi smiled as he tossed a berry to each of his two Pokémon, pleased with how they'd performed in a double battle. Sizzle had always been a handful, and Lumie was rash and impulsive-- so much that she would occasionally disobey him in battle. He'd been concerned about that. It had been some time since he'd had a Pokémon do as much to him-- only Pokémon he'd gotten in trades in the past had ever done so, which made it clear to him that ...

"It's all right. We're all friends here." those were the first words Kavi had said to all of his wild-caught Pokémon in the past, and it was what he was saying to Lumie. She was an Illumise who'd naturally fused with... a Tinkatink, if he wasn't mistaken. She'd fought fiercely in the battle she'd had against his Sizzle, but with a type disadvantage like hers, the burn she'd been dealt was too much for the steel-bug pokemon to do well with, and after a battle of attrition he'...

In the time since Jackson had started taking his training with his partner pokemon, Atlas, more seriously the two had grown much stronger. Of course they had grown physically stronger, even with his injured leg Jackson had a lot more endurance and muscle strength. However, the two had also grown even closer as a team and with their knowledge. Battling took a different sort of connection between person and pokemon, with both trusting each other. It also took some...

As Kurai set down the bag of groceries, his gaze traveled through the kitchen. Clearly Pesky had already cooked their dinner, the smell clearly betraying that a whole bowl of curry would be waiting for him in the fridge. Most of the kitchen was already cleaned up again, only the leftover plate betraying that Pesky had taken way too much time to nibble on his food before having to run off to some appointment without being able to finish cleaning up his own stuff. By now that was a usual...

Now that Jackson had been expanding his pokemon knowledge, especially by catching more and battling with them, he was feeling more confident with his skills. Still, he knew that there was still a lot for him to learn, and a lot of pokemon out there he hadn’t seen. The trainer still wanted to reward himself for his successful efforts.   Although the current economic state happening in the world had further le...

Kurai watched as Cole flew high above his head, just as Pesky raised his own head and placed his hand along the visor. “It’s not like you need that to shield you against the sun!”, Kurai called with an amused chuckle, but he didn‘t get much of a reaction from his friend. Sad - he wouldn‘t let himself be distracted, clearly. Didn‘t matter too much, Cole would still enjoy the fair fight. “Alright, Cole - T...

Omega dragged her hand down her face with a sigh as she looked down at Junebug and her new friend, Beetibite. Both stared up at her in turn, confused and mildly frustrated. That made three of them. The young woman put her hands on her hips as she looked down at the pair, the gears screeching in her head as she tried to get the words together to articulate what she was expecting. Normally, it was fine! Normally she could figure this out! But usually? She only had...

Cain grimaced at the thick ozone and plastic smell as he stepped into the ritzy technology store he had been recommended. It hadn't been that long since he had entered the Reigns Rest region and ever since the catastrophe his phone had stopped working. Apparently this place had tech that still functioned some how and even though he despised the hustle and bustle of the city and especially hated snooty stores like this one appeared to be he couldn't deny that he desperately needed their servic...
