Rivertide

Mera noticed that she got a notification, a mission from blackthorn. "Calling all of blackthorn's helpers. A mysterious plant has started springing up around Wintervale. It appears to have properties similar to that of shadow pokemon. Please remove and bring me back samples. Warning, do not, and I repeat, do not make direct skin contact with the plant." Mera knew how she was going to spend her day. She walked into her living room. "Hey guys, I'm going to leave for a mission, anyone wan...

This had gone wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong. Cerise’s back hit the floor of the training arena, mere inches of sawdust and straw between the back of her skull and the concrete floor underneath. Large paws pinned her shoulder, but instinct had her other arm come up between her and the snapping jaws of the Arcenyena. Thank Arceus for her thick leather jacket and the padding underneath that kept the worst of the bite from shredding into her skin. It was gonna h...

It was a quiet day in Rivertide for the most part, it didn’t seem like there were many others around to partake in the sunlight that was offered, and the breeze, it was also a serene feeling. With his eyes closed, he could almost feel like he was floating on the wind now, flying like the Dragonkite he was fused with. His eyes slowly opened after a time, realizing that he had ventured to one of the large barricades that were erected to keep them from falling of...

He didn't have to work today and he felt like being lazy, an arm draped over his bright green eyes and he lazed on the bed with a yawn on his lips. Vasuki had stayed up a little too late the day before, and although he enjoyed it with his Pokemon, it wasn't quite what he wanted. He felt a head nuzzle his fingers as he hung off the bed, and he rolled his head over to look at the creature, who looked at him with a curious gaze. He smiled tiredly at his Pokemon partner, it was Tiamat, the gent...

Vasuki had to leave his Pokemon at home for the day; he had to run to the store, and he didn't want to take all of them, especially after the exhausting battle they'd had. So he ended up leaving with three of the Pokemon that seemed up for the fight, leaving Haietlik and Tiamat alone in the house.   A little confused about what to do, Haietlik and Tiamat both slithered through the house, Tiamat was able to open the back door and they could go out into the yard and sun...

This seemed to be the last mission Vasuki would do for the time being, he needed a break from running around and fighting. He didn't have a lot of experience in fighting, only training with himself for the most part, but he wanted to learn to get better! But even that was about to change, as he approached his destination, a sound caught his attention, turning to look at the noise, he felt a drop of sweat as his heart ...

It seemed that during the fire, as the group was packing up to go home, there were some cries from inside the forest that sounded like little Pokemon calling for help. Vasuki looked in that direction for a moment, a bit stunned - he was sure they had gotten everyone and everything out of there, right? Tiamat tilted her head, moving her long, angel-like ears to listen better, and the cry came back louder and clearer th...

The call to help came bright and early for Vasuki and his Pokémon; normally, he would have wanted them to come with him, but he insisted that they stay at home. However, none of them listened to him and followed him out of the house, quickly grabbing their Pokéballs as soon as they were close enough to touch them, hanging from Vasuki's belt loop. He had heard only a little of the distress signal, and his heart was racing. He wanted to get there as soon as poss...

  Vasuki huffed as he walked, Haietlik wrapped around his neck and Invidia slithering at his side, he looked over at his other companions who were at his heels, Tiamat floating in the air.  "I know," he began as they all looked at him, their heads bowed almost in unison. "But I feel like if we don't do something to help, it would show that I'm not a very good trainer, would it?"  ...

Cerise wiped at her brow as she looked around, taking everything in that she could. Fire, ruins, rubble. Screams and cries for help. It tore at her heart, breaking something deep down into a million pieces. Her partners were elsewhere, helping, and she glanced down at the remains of a house she and her Pokemon were working on. A Pokemon was trapped inside, and she was sure she’d heard a kid in there too, but it’d been a while since she’d heard anything rem...
